Title: New Condo - Need Interior Design Ideas (bbing related)
Post by: Ex Coelis on August 02, 2010, 09:23:15 AM
just finalized the deal - "moving in" in 2 weeks

right now it's white walls with grey carpet and no furniture - basically a blank canvas

I'm leaning more towards minimalist and modern - the equivalent of a black and white photograph

my plan is to have a 60 inch flat screen in front of my bed

naturally, walking from the bedroom to the living room would be catabolic

I was thinking black furniture with grey walls and a darker hardwood, but that leaves the question of the ceiling - leave it white or go darker

on the other hand, black walls with white furniture would be pretty sharp

I've never really cared about this stuff (I live in baracks during the week and a good chunk of the year out in the field) but I don't want to waste this opportunity to make the most out of a fresh space

Dark ceiling will make the room look smaller. You can only pull that off if the place is really big. It's stylish but do you really think you'll like it day in day out?
Little beige never hurt anyone.

Well if your a true bodybuilder you will get a mittor on the ceiling above the bed....not so you and your partner can watch while you have sex....the mirror is so you can look at yourself even when your sleeping.

I think I'd be fine with it day in and day out especially since I wouldn't be there for long periods of time (mostly week-ends and holidays)

maybe the bed room could be dark while the living room could be the opposite

or to keep the whole condo uniform

Only thing with white is maintaining it clean all the time.
But it's good; sunny weather, lokks fabulous, rainy weather, looks less depressing than outside.
I like white with a dark wooden floor also though.

I hate when we walk by a mirror stop,walk back and look at ourselves and someone see us and gives a weird look.

id like to think that my bisexualness would give my opinion on interior design some credibility. although im not the best at starting from scratch with ideas, i can give a goo critique of things already done. that black and white bedroom looks very nice. keeping it minimal, classical yet modern, with subtle detail and a touch of your own personality sounds about right. what i mean by classical yet modern... i mean if your going to do anything artsy, make sure the art makes sense and has a clear meaning (classical), yet make sure all the furniture looks very sharp and sophisticated.

sounds about right

what I'm trying to avoid most is clutter and having a bunch of random pieces with no theme or colour co-ordination

black and white is clean and sharp - exactly what I want

it's just a matter of deciding wether the furniture should be white or black as well as the walls and/or ceiling

to avoid clutter you may want to consider looking into some nice cabinets or storeage furniture of some kind. the type of cabinets that look like they are flush against the wall and are kind of hidden, or a more expensive one with a nice design that can take a center role in the room, even if its off to the side.  furniture should definitely be black over white, unless your going with cloth couches. then white might be better, just dont let any messy people or kids on there. but black leather couch would be nice.
