>What does your room look like right now?

>Where do you buy your decor from?

I went to go buy from the Ikea website, since the closest one is hours away, found something I really like but it's only available in store because it's a limited collection or something?
Kind of sad about it, can someone refer good places to buy bedsheet sets and curtains?

I just moved into a new place last week. Still waiting on some stuff from the old place so I can finish unpacking, but it's mostly small stuff like game consoles and whatnot. There's a lot of hidden storage in this place so my room looks much more minimalist than it used to be, it's kinda neat. The balcony view is lovely too.

This place came fully furnished and while I like the white I'm not digging the green. I also want to order some new bedding.

Anyone know where I can get some nice lamps in Australia?

Yeah, I can't stand it. I can't nick a lamp from the other rooms either because the feature colours don't fit (red, blue). There's some really cute lamps on Taobao but I'd rather not deal with the trouble of shipping it and getting converters and shit.

The bed is a queen size! Finding cute sheets for it is so painful, argh. All the cute ones stop at double size.

I'm actually not sure, since the place is fully furnished the desk was already there when I moved in. I can try find out for you? It's pretty good, it has one of those keyboard draws and a tower to store a computer/sewing machine (pic related).

>What does your room look like right now?

Anime as heck and am proud. I collect a lot of anime figurines and posters. I have a green/black them and it's really Asian, specifically Japanese looking, down to the lighting fixtures.

>Where do you buy your decor from?

I buy the posters and figurines at various anime sites. Everything else was fairly easy to get from Asian stores in malls and Pier 1 Imports or World Market. It probably doesn't sound good, but if you go with a strong theme it tends to looks much better.


Part of me wants to redo it from my earlier weeby phase in high school, but I find a gender neutral Japanese theme with toned down colors just so soothing. I also can't bring myself to totally lolita it up, since it'd look like my mothers room or my grandmothers house with any sort of victorian, effeminate or floral aesthetic. Anyone else in the same boat? If I blasted it in bubblegum pink I think I could escape that, but I couldn't stand to look at that single color all day.

Anyone have any unusual colors for a room? Green/black is still something I like and would love to see any of that. Maybe more sax, mint or lavender rooms too? Picture related is what I mean by subdued and soothing while still kind of being a "kawaii" room.

The key to cosyness is lots of textures. Different fabrics in natural tones. chunky woolen and knitted blankets. I would go with grey rather thank black as its a lot softer. Incorporate natural elements such as birch branches, a terrarium. As for furniture style I would go with more classic/elegant styles in whatever colour you choose. Black, white, silvery or pale wood tones. cute idea btw. I had fun with it.

Sorry I didn't see the middle row, but:
>small green look like thread cutting scissors
>pink and black ones are probably really sharp for cutting notches (or paper scissors for precision cutting crafts)
>right orange are the pinking shears
>one of them up there is probably for cutting paper/patterns

and the other ones might be
>tailors shears or dressmaker shears (not sure if there is a difference but they are marketed separately)
>embroidery scissors
>scissors for different weights of fabric

Do you need all these scissors? Probably not depends on how much and what you sew, but they can be useful.

I need your help.
I'm calculating how much money I need until I'm ready to move out.But yesterday my grandparents told me they would like to pay for my entire interior,no matter how much it costs.I said I can't accept such a big gift.
My main reason to move out is to feel independent.Am I betraying my own ideals if I accept?Or is it plain stupid not to accept?

>> No.8417105

>>8417089
Are your grandparents rich? If not, and you chose to accept their offer, go shopping at IKEA or similar cheap place. Don't splurge at designer-shops.

Either way, pay at least half of it yourself, regardless of what they say.
They are your grandparents, and if they're not rich, they just have their pension to live off.

>> No.8417107

>>8417089
That's more of an /adv/ question, but in my opinion yes you are going against your principle of independence if you accept. Personally I would look at the practicality of accepting- would letting them pay for the furniture make a big difference in letting you move out? If your calculations show you'd have enough money to buy furniture without them then you could pass up the offer at the expense of some luxury. But if you're only able to move out comfortably if you accept the offer, then you're still becoming more independent overall, just with your grandparents' help.

You should also consider their feelings and finances too - does it make them happy to help you out? Are they financially secure? You could always compromise and just let them pay for some furniture but not all.

>> No.8417112

>>8417089
When you first move out it's incredibly expensive, so accepting a gift is not stupid unless you're sure you can comfortably afford the initial expenses by yourself and not have to budget for the next few months. If you feel it's too much, maybe compromise by letting them get you one or two pieces? Like a bed frame or sofa or a fridge ie. things that you will definitely use and are on the pricier end.

I just got my own place on the first and accepted all the help I could get. Kitchen stuff and essentials ALONE cost me over $300, not including dishes that I bought second hand. I accepted all the help I could get in the form of hand me down furniture and such. The reason family does this is because of how stupidly expensive it is (figure two months rent + $500 if you don't have the basics like a microwave, towels, and coffee pot) and they remember their first place where they had a plate, a fork, a spoon, and a mattress. That's what my grandma told me anyways. It generally makes people feel good that they're helping you start your life.

Choose nice second hand furniture and you won't put them in an awkward spot. If they push you towards new, fuck it, get new furniture.

They arent feeding you but they are making sure that you have furniture. Just pay for the smaller stuff like shelves and drawers but the bed is the biggest cost. Just accept that if not the whole thing. A bed with matress and all will set you back at least a months worth of rent if not 3 months.
