KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Has anyone here ever hid their living room TV behind sliding art panels? You can get sliding barn door hardware at Home Depot, or definitely online if everything in store is too clunky and farmhouse. Canvas on stretchers or paint something on luan, attach it at the top, figure out something below the TV so they’re not smacking into it, a little rail or floating shelf that’s a 1/4” deeper than the tv. Idk, might be easy.

If you buy a sufficiently aesthetically pleasing tv (you’d be surprised what you can get these days) you could even dispense with screens altogether and have it function as a digital picture frame when not in use.

Yeah, Samsung makes one: https://www.samsung.com/us/tvs/the-frame/highlights/ A bit expensive compared to a regular TV but might be less of a hassle compared to engineering a custom solution. You can* also mount these inset in the wall a bit to get a more custom look. *depending on your wall construction

I did find one on pottery barn but it’s sold out https://www.potterybarn.com/products/gallery-frame-media-cover/ maybe there are others out there though. Personally I’m a bigger fan of TV carts like this and wheeling the TV away when it’s not being used (if you have the space or a closet or something). https://www.sears.com/fitueyes-mobile-tv-stand-height-adjustable-for-13/p-A099609138

yeah but like, if you're in the room, the TV is on no matter what. Also for obvious reasons it's an LCD not an OLED, but there you are paying a shitload for a non-OLED.

We got a The Frame since they were 50% off and for that price it's good (paying mrsp seems pretty bad), the slim fit on the wall is great. I would say that the viewing angles aren't amazing which is something to consider if it's something that people would be approaching from a tight angle.

Yeah my brother and his wife bought a frame and I was super disappointed in the quality. I mean.. the picture quality was really mid at best and the art is just a fine art screensaver that I can get from a Chromecast. The bezel is a nice touch but it really just seemed like a mid quality screen wrapped in a slightly fancy bow. But for $3000.

don't be afraid to experiment! (with grey) the first question you should ask yourself is "what type of feeling do you want to create in your space?" (as long as that feeling is grey)

I really don't understand the all grey trend. It so often looks like such a bad combination of try hard and tacky This should be the done to death easy mode interior design colour palette instead, it is just nicer to be around:

A nice worksurface that is sufficiently large to feel uncluttered, orientated to maximise natural light. Some small number of decorative features that match the personal preferences of whoever is going to be working there. Plants make a big difference!

distortion park posted:I really don't understand the all grey trend. A growing preference for ultramodern styles combined with religious adherence to “neutral” finishes. Not long ago brutalism was hated by pretty much everyone except architecture nerds, yet now we have celebrities falling over each other to buy absolute top end superstar architect designed brutalist mansions. Rising housing costs have forced owners to adopt neutral styles that will give them the greatest return on investment because for a growing number of people a highly personalized house amounts to a disastrous financial decision, with flippers growing like cancer in this environment. This amounts to what I think of as vernacular ultramodern which attempts to be fashion forward and at the same time mercilessly conforming and homogenized. It’s also the cheapest poo poo at Home Depot now. Except for actually well executed modern interiors, I hate it all. kreeningsons fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Oct 26, 2023 |

It was an example illustrating that highly modern styles are in vogue now. Not conflating that grey = brutalism. Although I see how my reply could imply that.

smoobles posted:Real question: what kind of colors would you go for in a bright, creative workspace? I feel like yellows or greens make sense. What are you using the workspace for? if you're painting or doing something where you need the color to be accurate, I'd stick to a bright white for the walls. Large areas of bright color can reflect onto your work, distorting the appearance of your paint. Instead, add small amounts of color with plants, furnishings, etc. Otherwise I agree with what distortion park said wrt lighting and furniture. An ample work surface and well-organized storage are necessities, as is good lighting. Natural light is great but you may not have as much as you want, or you may want to work in there when it's overcast, rainy, or night. Cans are a good solution for a workspace, and you may want to add a desk lamp or two to avoid shadows on your work surface. If you have a dark corner in the room, put a floor lamp or table lamp in it. Pay attention to the temperature of your lighting as well, especially if you care about accurate colors - warm white will make things look distorted, so choose daylight (5K) lighting instead, and ideally make sure the bulbs you're using have 95+ CRI. If you're not working with colors then you can do whatever you want. I'd find 3D's all-red super-saturated study more distracting than energizing, but I know it works for some. Likewise some people really hate daylight bulbs - they're almost always the wrong choice for a living room or bedroom but some people don't like them anywhere, and if you're one of those then obviously go with what makes you comfortable.

I asked this in the gooncave thread but I figured I would post here for good measure: how often are people having their sofas professionally cleaned? Not really a design question but a question of living with design items. I bought a sofa that is not really constructed traditionally, it is just a huge foam block covered in quilted microfiber. I’m not really sure how to find a good cleaner besides dudes who post viral steam cleaning videos on neighborhood Facebook groups. The cleaning industry recommends cleaning once every year or once every six months for those with kids or pets, which seems insanely frequent to me, but I do want to take care of this sofa because it was a big purchase for me.

I love this idea, because I was thinking of Hue lights, so I could turn my space from work mode to chill mode in my off hours I was thinking of putting all my framed posters (I have a lot) on a single wall, would you use the accent wall for that or the white one?
