Can I get recommendations for how best to re-decorate my room? Taking up my old carpet atm, and planning on painting over the old blue colour but can't decide on a decent floor/skirting/wall colour scheme

Tempted to just paint everything from the skirting boards up white but idk, some difference between the skirting boards and wall seems natural

Another pic of what I'm working with

>>8360091
I went for everything in white, turned out okay.
Still have lots left to do with getting frames for my prints that imma hang on the walls, getting another lamp and cleaning out my closet as well as the shelves. I can go take a pic of my room, gimme a sec

>>8360091
1. Paint the walls light grey. Paint a single wall, the one that is right behing the bed, dark grey or something more like titanuim.
2. Change your bed to something more rustic or manly, you can keep it wooden made. 3. Keep your bed clothing white.
4. Grab 2 side tables to your bed, collored white, black, grey or wooden made. Put some books, a small succulent plant and lanterns in both side tables.
5. Grab a cool poster or painting in the wall behind your bed.
6. Grab white curtains in your window,

this is my room as it looks now

>>8360190
Looks good, all white is definetly the best

>>8360190

Any opinions on BrickBox for storage?

I think I'd like to invest in something modular, mostly for books. I'm moving soon so it seems good to have something I can rearrange.

>>8360200
looks like kiddy shit

>>8360209
What would you use instead?

>>8360209
tbh I kind of thought this when I looked back it this morning. sometimes I just have to hear it from Anon.

I'd like to find a good system that can be rearranged though.

>>8360012
RIP Expedit :(
those phat edges

>>8360156

Thanks 4 the reply but grey really isn't my thing. Maybe I'm biased though - in my old house my mother painted the bathroom mid-grey with white accents, turned out p awful

>>8360190

That looks really decent actually, although your floor is in far better condition than mine. I think the floors are Edwardian (brit here) so I suppose I'll take a gamble with a rustic minimalist look

Guess I'll go with the all white then, will post back here (maybe in a few days) with progress

>>8360237
It's discontinued?

When?

I'll make sure not to throw mine away

does anyone really feel like living in apartment in the middle of a big japanese city?

seems pretty amazing to me. or is it just me and am i a weirdo?

>>8360253
They replaced it with Kallax. It's the same idea but with thinner sides because Ikea use an insane amount of wood and they want to save costs (or trees if you believe the PR). Doesn't look as nice IMO.

>>8360270
anyone?

i don't need much space anyway. are micro-apartments the future?

>>8360239
ya, we had some guy come to do the floors and he did a great job. Took me 3-4 days to cover the walls (they were white and yellow before), everything got a lot spacier when we had brightened it all up

>>8360285
last one.

anybody got more? it really gives me a futuristic feel. i can dig it to be honest. not sure if it'd be as cool in reality as it seems.

i can see it being rather frustrating at times, but it also has it ups compared to a 'regular' house/apartment.

>>8360270
Mot just you, this is my main ambition at the moment. I love the simplicity of a lot of Japanese apartments, just sitting on the floor, rolling away your futon when you get up... it's a better use of space to me.

>>8360292
awesome. i thought i was just being weird, but the simplicity of this seems amazing to me. really, all this space around me is unnecessary. i'd rather live in a tiny apartment. seems super cosy as well.

posting more pics, cause why not.

>>8360297
5th.

all these apartments are so small, yet all have their own personality. last one was clean and tight, while this one is very messy.

not sure what i like more.

>>8360270
Social isolation into suicide seems like it would kick in within a couple months.

>>8360311
really?

i guess i'd go outside more if i had such an apartment. really, what do you need all your living space for? eating, sleeping, cooking dinner, electricity. all in a small cosy package.

>>8360297
It's a good inspiration to simplify your life. Most people (me included) hang on to a lot of stuff they never use. You especially don't need a lot if you live in the middle of a city.

A lot of Japanese places seem to have a nice balance between being small and uncluttered while still feeling warm and being super functional with little things like having a sink to wash your hands on top of the toilet to save space and water. When we try to do this in the west we usually end up with some clinical white room that's too minimal to actually be used effectively.

The way the housing market is going here space is going to be at a huge premium for younger people who want to live alone anyway so I think people will be finding creative solutions for living in smaller and smaller apartments.

>>8360311
I've heard people who've moved to Japan say it inspires them to go out more in a good way. If your kitchen is tiny you start to want to go out to eat. Hopefully that'll help you meet people and not suicide.

7.

i totally agree. these apartments look functional and warm despite being messy as hell. there are little downsides to these apartments really.
i can see some people not liking it though.

also dig your picture, but i really like the futuristic vibe these apartments have. i never really liked european interior design unless it's something really progressive.

last one.

i honestly can't imagine living like this.

this looks terrible and so cold. doesn't look like a 'home' at all.

>makes room look a bit bigger

requesting an image of a relatively big room with nothing but a bed, a lamp, and some books in it. looks very clean, very spartan

Why do people have these clothes rails for wardrobes? Don't your clothes get full of dust?

>>8360185

Where's a good place to get house plants?

Am I the only one who really the mix of modern style with fine art (European masters)?

Pic not best example, but yeah

a good place? depends on where you are. in the trendy part of town there would be a hip indoor nursery no doubt.
but I just got my house plants from bunnings (hardware store with nursery section; inc. indoor plant section). They're palm, they're pretty tidy, hardy and bring a freshness to the room. just go check out a few places until you find plants you like

old photo, I have one at each end and they're a bit bigger/ more full now.

Yes, there's something about living in a big asian city where you're almost invisible that appeals to me.

can these support lps? i dont care aslong as i can still hold records on them.

Anyone have any good recs of online places to cop decent looking/feeling bedding (sheets, pillows, comforters, etc.)?? Looking at around a 500-600 budget. Thanks /fa/

>>8365140
>can these support lps?
Yeah, the internal dimensions are still the same size. They'll hold LPs just like the old ones. The change is mostly just a problem if you have Expedits already and want them to match.
