I need interior decorating help
    #5765074 - 06/18/06 05:14 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I was going to buy stuff for my apartment at IKEA. I was going to get pictures for the walls, little knick-knacks, etc.. I need to fill my place out, but I have no clue what to get. I have no visual talent at all.

Seriously, can anybody help me?

I'll help, if you want.

Your place is sleek and modern.  You should keep that trend with minimalist looking stuff, that also looks modern.  Maybe some candle holders, picture frames, modern art on the walls, etc. 

But you're right, you definitely need more stuff  :tongue:

That desk in the far left is being thrown out. I'm getting a new desk. So far, I am decided on a desk which will sit between those two windows (where the guitar is). I am going to put a cabinet where the old desk is. This cabinet will have a glass front and I will put my booze collection in it. I think the guitar amp will stay where it is. Above the fireplace will be a dartboard (I got the dartboard today). There is this big empty wall behind the couch. I need to get pictures/paintings for it.



I'm thinking of getting a rug for under the table/front of the TV area. Also, there is an alcove behind that shelf. I'm thinking of getting a pinball machine for that area.

The more I think of it...the more I think I need someone to personally look at my place, go with me to IKEA, and point shit out that I should buy. Just looking at some grainy pics over the internet isn't going to help much I don't think. I seriously am willing to pay for someone to come and help me. I am hopelessly lost on this stuff. Guys can't make stuff look good like girls can.

No offense Randal....

but it's your place.  Put whatever the fuck you want in it.  Who are you doing this for?  Yourself?  I get the feeling its for some non-existant woman who's only going to enter your life if your apartment is all Ikea'd out.  :sun:

What the hell man?  Get some balls. :thumbup:

That's the problem.  I have never had an iota of artistic ability.  I can't even draw a stick figure.  I cannot visualize what looks good.  I can recognize it however.

That's my place.  It's me.  I don't give a fuck if it looks nice or not.  I think it does.  All that shit is shit I bought.  I don't give a fuck if it matches or doesn't.  I don't give a shit if it's not totally clean.  My place is usually messy, but it's never dirty.

Everyone who has seen it loves and thinks it's totally me...which is what I go for. 

You hire someone else to pick shit out for you....you gonna like that?  In the long run?

Maybe we just think differently.  :tongue2:

I think you could use a mirror somewhere on a wall. Also an artwork of somekind, maybe stylized abstract or sketch drawing.
Maybe a small rug or straw mat on the floor in front of the TV.
Some nice glasswork or carved objects on the big plank above the TV.
Some lights on stands so you don't have only ceiling light. Gives you more lightning options and gives ambience to a room.
I'd go with curtains for your windows. Black or maybe very dark red.
A square candle arrangement next to the TV for the ladies and cosyness.

Your place looks cool as hell. I wish I could come up with stuff like that but I can't.

I want a "cozier" look to my place. Right now it's expansive and barren. I swear...there's an echo in here. I'm afraid that I'm going to buy a bunch of shit and it will look horrible though. That's why I really need help.

P.S. What kind of plant is that? I really want plants in here but there is never any sun coming into this room. Do you know of plants that look cool and that need no sun?

Weird...I actually thought of every single one of those suggestions. Thanks for validating my guesses and opinions. Maybe I don't suck as much as I thought at this stuff.

Well, my overhead lights do dim...so I can give the room a little more "ambience". But, I see what you're saying. I just don't want the stand-alone lights to get in the way or to look awkward in the room.

Interesting. I was thinking of just having those shades...but curtains might look good.

Where next to the TV? I think they would look weird there.

Admittedly, IKEA furniture is not of the highest quality.  But, I'm just a young guy living in an apartment with no kids.  I don't own my own house.  I basically just need shit which will fill my place and look decent.  If I ever buy a house I will buy my "permanent" furniture. 

Also, I have a buddy at IKEA that gets me %15 off everything.  :smile:

All my plants require very little light, as I have the blinds closed most of the time.  The one by the couch is a Dwarf Palm or Neanthe Bella.  I've got 5 of them.  One of them which isn't picture is over 3 years old. 

And I'm working on a huge poster of Bill Hicks to put over the couch.  :grin:

you'll need to illuminate anything you have up high like that, not a difficult
task, theres some nice track lighting yu can buy for that purpose, it also helps
to set moods, sure it maks you 10% gayer but chicks like gays :smirk:

I have track lighting above the TV/speaker area. Also, IKEA has track lighting stuff if I were to desire it.
