/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I would make my room look kinda like a night club. It could be done cheap, dim/ neon lights would distract people from what is really in the room, and you can call it "style" instead of "empty wallet".

Cinder block furniture is a good idea for being cheap and sturdy. However, cider blocks will fuck up your floors unless they are concrete. When cider blocks are placed on concrete (and moved around) they denigrate and leave little bits of rock EVERYWHERE. I know this because I used to live in an unfurnished basement.

If you need a book shelf then go to Lowes/ Home Depot/ whatever and get a few boards, an L shaped bracket, and black wood stain.

Bed room furniture: Go to walmart and get a cheap bed set (fitted sheet, dust ruffle, pillow cases, blanket, ect) that is mostly black and maybe silver or dark blue. You can support the box frame of a bed on milk crates and no one will ever know. Then you get a sheet of ply-wood, cut it to the same width as your bed, cover it with a cheap black fabric (tacks on the back side), stuff it with a few bags of cotton, and mount it above the bed as a bed board. A wall mounted TV is a good idea to keep the walls from looking too barren.

The night cub idea: Mirrors make a room look bigger so buy one for about $10 with a silver frame and attach it to the back of your bed room door. Next you can pick up two 12 inch black lights and mount them in the upper corners of the wall. Just plug them into a wall outlet and forget about wiring. Lastly I would go to the mall or a head shop and buy 2 black light posters. Get M.C. Esher style black light posters with a little bit of taste. Ignore the other black light posters that make you look like a burnout or a juggalo.

The trick to getting women to stay in your room is to have a neat and tidy room. If you live like a slob with food crumbs on the floor the women will GTFO way before sexy times.
