I know. Even I feel uncomfortable here. It's like I'm in a warehouse or something.

thats the key, it's good to have different styles periods together as long as none stand out badly, empire and deco do quite well together and you can occasionaly find asian influenced pieces that blend beautifuly

Thanks man, I always put a lot of work in my room and it usually keeps on evolving as long as I live there. I thought you liked the minimalist style, I think it can really work. But if you really want to make it cozy then there are a lot of other options.

Yeah, I know shit about decorating. I just do what looks good to me with the limited funds that I have.
Can it both be minimalistic and cozy though?

I think so, but then you'd really have to work with colors and lights. Earthy, terracotta and red colors.

Not that everything has to relate to shroomies, but here goes...
One of the best experiences I had was with a trip buddy whose living room was totally cozy and felt warm, like it was wrapping itself around me. This was true the next day when I was stone-cold straight up.
She had overstuffed couches with nice woven fabric. Her coffee table had a soft padded area where you could put your feet. She had soft (chenille?) throws over the backs of the couches. Iron table lamps with amber/brown shades; cast a nice glow in the evening. Pillows. Natural wood. Stuff like that. It was awesome.

Ahhh... yes! Autumn colors -- think of how cool trees look when they are changing colors & starting to drop their leaves.

That's what I try to model my place after....how would I react to it if I was tripping balls? Would I be comfortable or would I not be? Anything that would make me uncomfortable I no longer own.

RandalFlagg, I will totally come out there and help you pick out stuff. As soon as I can get time off of work Can I bring suffer and Lucy?
Seriously though, if you want help, just let me know. I have a good eye for decorating shit.

curtains and a rug would help with the echo factor, as well as giving the room some personality. other than that I think some tapestries would help..
