/fa/ - Fashion

Paint one wall with some color and only one. Keep other white.

Buy rugs and a good set of somewhat heavy curtains, lot of young people forget these and it makea the rooms seem little off.

>>11583229
And do not buy from IKEA, the designs are made for flat shipping in mind, not how they look in homes. Also very poor and disgusting materials.

Buy used furniture made of real wood. You can sand them and paint or oil in milloin ways and the look 1000x better than melamine processed vomit covered in plastic.

>>11583229
>>11583235
Keep going, this is amazing. My plan was already to only use IKEA for basic shit like cutlery, towels etc - furniture I'd try to find used.

All walls are already white and my room comes with a good balcony and window.

>>11583235
this desu
or even designing and making your own furniture is a great thing to get into, /diy/ can help with that
still got a great desk i made in highschool

>>11583235
But furniture made of particle board is easier to carry around and has other benefits. Every material have pros and cons, quit this fedora mindset that le real wood is the only acceptable choice. People in the past used hard wood because it was the only option, depending on the application they would accept particle board too if available at that time.

>>11583242
Used furniture usually looks good because of the furniture looks worn, not because of some "particle board a shit" reason.

If you are looking for cheap stuff that looks nice, you are probably best lurking verge side pickup / local websites / markets and grabbing cheap stuff that you can sand/oil/varnish/etc yourself.

If you prefer mid century, then there is a lot of cheap reproductions out there, I know even Ikea make some that look nice (I've seen varnished/stained Ikea stuff in tons of interior design magazines) - the thing about mid century is that ply and pipe and plastic were pretty popular and now they are cheap.

I dump my inspo to fb so I have none for you.

This is true, IKEA shit is so cheap, light, easy to move around a house and easy to take apart which is great considering you tend to move so many times when you're in your twenties.

Its clear that no-one is buying IKEA because its the best quality available . Fuck I'm shilling for IKEA

All of your filenames are so descriptive.
It's really silly and I love it

>>11583473
It's not as difficult as you'd think. The white boxes on the wall could be done in some sort of cheap wood and a lot of the furniture is just kitsch shit from the seventies.
Getting the stereo system might be another story.

>>11583523
thanks anon, gives me little giggles and it's helpful for keeping track of stuff

What does /fa/ think of designs like pic related? I'm speaking of a modernized version of course.

Are they tryhard/entry level?

What's wrong with IKEA? I'm moving into a new apartments soon, but I don't really like wood furniture. I wanted to go with a more modern look with plastics and metals since I'm going for that 80s/90s aesthetic.

>>11583887

>>11583887
I feel like everryone goes through a mid century modern phase at some point, everyone with money who considers themselves even vaguely "artsy" has at least one Eames chair hanging around somewhere or something, it's not necessarily bad but it's overdone and is generally a sign of entry level interests. It's possible to stick with it but most people move on after a while and find their own niche

>>11583967
Nothing "wrong" with it, as long as you're aware that it's cheap, not made to last, and sometimes difficult to assemble (depending on what we're talking about).

>>11584057
Oh my, that's cozy.

>>11584140
Ha, I browse /g/'s battlestation threads sometimes because a few of them have really nice places and I constantly see the Eames lounge chair. It is nice though.

anyone mind if i dump a few pictures? i love these threads.

>>11583337

Because people think painting one wall is effay; not realizing that for today's style; it's simply the window/doorframe that is currently not minimalist.

And choose different lighting.

I really like the industrial concrete with (retro?) avant-garde pieces. Looks edgy.

>>11584483
thanks for these anon :))

>>11584376
>that fucking plank...

>>11584163
Fair enough. I suppose if I need something more sturdy if go for something else, but in general it should be fine. I don't think I'd have a problem assembling it, even without instructions but I know that it's only pictures so it can be confusing.

>>11583467
It's Burgess.

>>11583259
This will always be my favourite

>>11583220
Yes/no? Maybe?

>>11583235
Fuck off, Ikea is fine. Even the shittiest Ikea pieces should last 3 years of regular use. It's great to get used pieces for things like couches or coffee/end tables which can have really unique looks, but Ikea is especially good for things like shelves or bookcases when it's more convenient to choose among sizes that will fit in your place instead of scouring craigslist for weeks just so you can find a shelf that's the right size.

>>11583967
>What's wrong with IKEA?

Nothing.

>plastics and metals since I'm going for that 80s/90s aesthetic.

Every decade has had a lot of wood furniture, what are you talking about?

I dont know,

Can you repeat the question?

>>11585794
I know wood has always been used but I'm going for a more high tech kind of look. So I guess modern but I plan to have a tape deck setup as a center piece so I guess that makes it a bit retro.

Seconding this IKEA chat. I still have some IKEA pieces kicking around my apartment from fuckin' college (nearly 10 years ago) that look pristine. We're talking like $5 side tables and junk like that. It's obviously not gonna last a lifetime, but considering the longevity and the ultra-low price point, I really can't complain.

>>11583235
sand them and paint or oil
>>11583278
>sand/oil/varnish/etc yourself

Do you guys have any suggestions for a spoiled kid who never learned how to do any kind of work with furniture and walls and such? Should I just go to /diy/ or does anyone have some kind of masterpost of resources for the inept like me?

>>11587610
You could probably do with moving some shit off the floor and onto the wall, with more shelves, but that window lighting is making me hard

>>11587639
I've only had issues with larger ikea pieces made from particle board. Bookshelves and wardrobes have essentially fallen apart over the years. Granted, I've moved like 5 times with them. I still have ikea shit from when I was in HS, but they're made from wood. Those have held up just as well as anything else.

My issue with ikea has just been that I almost never like anything there, but it's cheap and I'll be tempted to buy it anyway. I only own a set of shelves that I actually like, the rest were always just because I needed a new closet/night table/tv stand and they has dirt cheap ones that weren't hideous.

>>11583242
If you have a big cooking supplies store around you should check there instead of ikea, they are usually on the cheaper side and they have a lot of hotel/restaurant grade stuff (businesses dont usually want to spend a lot)

>>11587654
If you are actually in to this kind of stuff just get some cheap/free furniture and beat on it however sounds good.

Depending on the style you are after badly waxed tables might fit right in.

There's nothing too hard about furniture. People make a big deal about perfection but if you are finishing pieces for yourself then imperfection usually looks better.

Yeah, /diy/ is pretty good. There are books on the subject, a ton on YT, etc.

>>11585869
Youre not the boss of me, now.

>>11587706
Oh, that's totally 100% true. An ex of mine had one of their wardrobes, and it was such utter trash she broke it by opening a drawer.

I'm honestly not in love with their designs either. Their simple stuff works well, but their fancier stuff somehow almost invariably skews ugly. Way too much plastic in some of their stuff.

how do i make my college dorm /fa/? Well it isn't a dorm its a university apartment, but i have my own personal room and bathroom, just furniture is supplied.

Nice dubs, Bateman.
I'm planning on buying a bunch of IKEA stuff v since I'm (hopefully) moving into a new apartment. The thing is, I don't want any wood furniture. I prefer metal, glass, and plastics.
So if I'm not getting wood furniture from IKEA is it even worth it to get it from there?

>>11591797
>So if I'm not getting wood furniture from IKEA is it even worth it to get it from there?
In terms of quality? I've honestly never seen an issue with the metal/glass stuff, as that tends to be more expensive/thoughtful anyway.

The plastics are hit-and-miss. Case in point, I have a few cheapie storage containers from IKEA that'd probably fall apart if I looked at them for too long.

My personal rule of thumb: never buy anything with drawers from IKEA, and be very careful about their storage/organizational gear. Everything else is worth at least checking out in person.

>>11591834
Alright, thanks Bateman. You're always a great help here.

>>11588582
It's a plank with two metal legs mate I think you can figure out the rest.

why is scandinavian and japanese furniture and interior design so similar?

>>11584471

Where do i get a big good rug?

I've been thinking about doing this, are you not worried about bugs? how did you wash?

>>11591947
Google it, there is a lot online about cleaning in general. But if I recall correctly I hanged it up and beat it till all dust/dirt was gone , after I hosed it down in my back yard and let ot dry a few times applying clothes detergent while hosing
