those blinds gotta go man...explain. curtains?
Jesus Christ that couch looks comfortable.
Here's a pic of one side of my living room. I was messing around with my cell-phone camera when I took it. The other side has a small end table next to a leather chair and an ottomon (sp). Im thinking about getting a couch but the placement of the electric heating vent has me convinced I would have to move the whole fukin room around:

Plus if I get a couch ill need to find room for a small coffee table but my living room is pretty packed already and I like having room to walk.
french blinds would look great, no offense but those blinds "cheapen" the look of an otherwise expensive looking couch. not a design specialist, but i think it could add some "warmth" to your room... here's an example:hyp: how expensive are those blinds? they look nice, but yeah, I'd get something darker.

Those look like apartment blinds. Just get curtains. Or lift the blinds! The lighting in the pic is depressing as all get out, but I'm guessing that's not really the ambient glow of the joint.Yeah, they're apartment blinds. It was also 11:30pm when I took the pic. During the day, I usually have the blinds open.
And why would manly be bad? Are you a man? I meant everything is spare and simple and there's not a floral pattern in sight.Just making sure you didn't want me to be some sort of fruit. I'd have to break up with you.

This reminds me of the time my mom thought I was gay because I accepted the flowered comforter she gave me when I moved out. :(
I told my mom that mupepe might be picking me up a kilt when he goes on vacation, now she thinks I'm gay, along with the rest of my family :'(
I think the bigger problem with the blinds is that it creates a weird disconnect in the overall look of the room. Its like wearing a button down shirt loose and then putting on a jacket. The shirt still hangs out from under the jacket and that looks pretty bizzare.is that another vote for curtains?

I would probably refrain from telling your mom about the mutual JO sessions then.
Parents just don't understand.
Do you guys ever have your blinds open? My mom is always complaining that I never have mine open. PRIVACY FTW
we call that white trash in america. my blinds are usually open during the daytime when i'm home.Do you guys ever have your blinds open? My mom is always complaining that I never have mine open. PRIVACY FTW
My friends destroyed my blinds (The big ass balcony kind), so I have a Canadian flag and a blanket covering my window, which I prefer much better...Yes I'm one of THOSE people.
I used to close my living room blinds most of the time but the cat destroys them trying to see out the window and lick the blinds, so I leave them open. Ended up just buying an air conditioner for when the summer strikes.

Dude, it sounds like you need to tie that thing up.
Rob: It depends. If your window extends below the top of the couch you may either wish to move the couch, or go with a darker color set of curtains that you can tie off on either side of the window. I say darker because that would contrast with the color of your walls. Of course you want this darker color to compliment the color of your furniture.the window stops right below the back of the couch and the blinds stop right at the window sill. so curtains then?
However if the blinds in the pic are simply running to the floor and the window sill is roughly equal to the top of the couch you can go with a darker color wood-base horizontal blind system. That would look pretty tasteful.
I hate leather couches. Every time I try to take a nap on one it sticks to my face/skin. Nice to sit on though.
Actually not at all. Maybe my skin is just sticky.I hate leather couches. Every time I try to take a nap on one it sticks to my face/skin. Nice to sit on though.
Do you sweat a lot?
yeah, my living room blows.
If its at all possible move the computer out of the living room.It's possible, but it's pretty much just going to cramp up anywhere else I put it as well. I have an extra room for my nice tv and AV equipment and all my movies/games. but it's pretty cramped in there. My bedroom, well it's just inconvenient as balls. I'm never in there. MAF, when I get home, i'm posting pics of my room and you're going to help me reorganize. deal?
yeah, I got your PM. But I can't reply because I'm over the limit.yeah, my living room blows.
Its easily fixable though. I'd paint the wall a light tan though, to contrast the couch. The couch looks to be the focus of the room so you should design around it. It also should be warmer with that couch.
I wish I could post pics of my room. Its amazing.
PS: did you get my pm mupepe?
You don't want to know what I think. ;)tell me plz
WTF you can't pain apartment walls? Not even if you give a down payment to have them pained back white when you move out?not that i know of.

Cyan: Well some places, like where I live, dont have air conditioning so I have to keep my blinds down most of the time during the summer since the heat gets trapped and im on the second floor.
i'm likin' the blue. i'll go look in a little bit and then post pictures *hyper*Cyan: Well some places, like where I live, dont have air conditioning so I have to keep my blinds down most of the time during the summer since the heat gets trapped and im on the second floor.
OMG there are houses there with no air conditioning. You might as well live on another PLANET. There are charity drives here every spring so we can get ACs for all the poor folk so they don't die en masse when Texas becomes a giant EZ Bake oven.
PS you should get curtains, but get them in a nice strong pattern (like a plaid) that is mostly neutral (browns and creams and gray like the room) and maybe has a color shot through it. Green, to match your plant, maybe? Blue goes really well with browns and creams, too. A denim color would be nice.
French blinds are kind of gay. Curtains just look like your mom taught you how to decorate.

DO YOU NOT SPEAK ENGLiSH? Bitches love planets. And you should watch boondocks
i think he's referring to the cartoon the boondocks.DO YOU NOT SPEAK ENGLiSH? Bitches love planets. And you should watch boondocks
No shit, who doesn't love astronomy?
And I've seen Boondock Saints, I just don't remember that dialogue.
It's not good. The only mild chuckle I got out of the grand debut of that show was Charlie Murphy's all-too brief cameo.
Don't do it.

I mean if youre going for a look youre going to have to go all in. Also that chair is bad for your legs, get something else. Hard flat seat chairs eventually cut circulation to your legs over time and cause back problems. The general rule is to buy a tall-back chair if you suspect you'll be sitting for long periods of times, buy a short-back (task chair) if you plan on only being at the desk long enough to do a 'task'. There's also mid-back chairs which are a nice compromise because they keep your posture straight like a task chair but are better for longer periods of SITMight I suggest Think by Steelcase:
