Interior Design

I want to live in the future, and I hate how mundane my flat looks. I don't want just a fuarrrking "battlestation" decorated with blue neon lights and with a pile of cig butts, doritos and random tech lying around. (Like my friend's) Here's my vision: I want a clean slick view, order in a dystopic future. I want to know that everything out there is soykaf. AI is uncanny as hell, botwars are ravaging half of the world, automation fuarrrked up everything about the market, privacy doesn't exist and drugs and sexbots are ruining the youth... but I'm above that. I feel like a fish in the water in all this. I benefit from all of that, and my place looks nice, not like a japanese soykafhole, rather like the rich fuarrrks that abuse the world. That's my fantasy. I'm not rich, so I just want the A E S and then do it myself. Can you rec me some inspiration? /fa/ techware and /wg/ tech threads are the closest. Right now, Deus Ex is my best reference, because it looks futuristic but somehow "realistic" (or at least not retarded, no trying to look like an anime).

Lazy screencap don't bully me for my screen resolution, I'm not at home

>>832 The way I see it there are two ways you can do it: minimalist and "grimy utilitarian". Minimalist would feature black white sterile environment with possibly a lot of plant life (essential for the look I'm talking about). Maybe a fishtank and large windows fit nicely with the aesthetic. (Think fleshed out Mirrors Edge) The more grimy look would maybe feature some nice carpets / silk on the walls / roof, Make it feel really cozy and exclusive, kind of like an exclusive 50s Arab desert-punk market mixed with grimy technology and neon. Personally my room is quite boring at the moment, white and sterile. Looking to put a few plants in there and some colorful carpets or cloth items to make it more cozy. I don't want it to be a dirty soykafhole from anime or Blade Runner but I think some elements from there can definitely fit the aesthetic. Do you have any plans specifically for your house / apartment / room?

FYI, I'm putting up a 3x1.5 meters vinyl whiteboard. Basically a white plastic against my empty wall. It's cheap as fuarrrk and so useful. I'm doing an abstract math major, and the graphs and drawings always look interesting, so maybe I can work with that. But I think I should give it a context. not a frame, but not just look like a plastic plastered there. >>834 >two ways you can do it: minimalist and "grimy utilitarian". kek, these are better ideas than whatever I got so far >plant life good thought, read the last part of the post >black white sterile environment Was thinking about a lot of solid black around, but mostly in the background (shelves, the computer, a carpet/sofa) but with colours to stand out in front. Idk what yet, maybe some deco or cushions that are easy to clean. >large windows I have a 2.2x2.2 meters sliding windows to the balcony. pic related, it looks so sad right now. I was thinking of making the curtains myself, with some interesting fabric yet to be decided. Probably dark (black will turn an ugly grey with time, so maybe a dark grey) with a white layer outside (to reflect light and so avoid heat, and also prevent the sun from "burning" the colour too much). I was thinking of "gothic" creases like pics related, mostly the white curtain one. Thoughts? I think it will look imperative and grim, but hopefully not too cold. >silk, cozy and exclusive Intersting, maybe for the bedroom. I have a large sommier bed, with a plain black large cover, it needs a good headboard. idk what to use as a nightstand, probably a black shelf I'm sure your room will look very nice. >>835 >>836 The problem with these is that I love the look, but idwh to implement it irl most of the time. I wouldn't like it to look too over the top either, because I'm afraid of failure and I want to seem more casual about it, so a full theme like "Mead14.jpg" is just too much But it made me realise I should change my armchair, and I think I'm taking this hexagonal plant thing. idk where to find a hex pot, but I'll take care of that.

Too much for a shelf?

Get into electronics Start dump diving for old/broken electronics Start tearing them apart and reusing them in your projects of fixing them up and selling them for a side cash After a while your room will be filled with opened up electronics, CNCs you made from inkjet printers and couple microcontrollers acting as VGA controllers for old LCDs on your homemade stand showing you a crypto market graph or RSS feed for news from all around the world. Basically at that point you will have enough resources and knowlege to direct yourself into a (potentially) cyber direction. I am on halfway there and my room already looks like a darn mess. Empty energy drink cans, transformers from microwave units, on halfway to rebuilding a micro oven into SMD oven.... Things I need to work on however is programming and cracking. I want to start projects but don't know where to start since there are no good books on topic like there are with electronics. Every book I have seen is either introductory to programming language or introductory to the field I was looking into (I assume programmers just look at manuals and figure things out by themselves)

>>840 drop the hexagons it screams "I am too much into Gits and matrix, and probably under 18"

>>841 Addendum In my opinion fashion and design is all about "style" in it's basic meaning of "way of doing things". Ie. things still have to be usable, in fact that is only reasoning behind clothing or house furniture, but style of wearing or style of interior design has to COMPLIMENT it's usage. pic somewhat related

>>842 Yeah, they look like soykaf, idk what was I thinking, I just wanted to add anything. But the shelf itself is ok, or shouts "am i cool yet" ? >>841 >dump diving for old/broken electronics >filled with opened up electronics Too hardcore for me (just because I have other projects, I'd love to do it if I had the time), so I'm more for the minimalist/sleek/clean/techno aesth. I'm a math user, not a hardware guy. >showing you a crypto market graph or RSS feed for news from all around the world. Word for word what I wanted to do. You are right, I'll use microcontrollers and be done with it, or some old PC or something. It's so doable, idkw I never did before. >Empty energy drink cans, transformers from microwave units Mine are tons of math scribbles, and writings. I need to find some more physical hobby, maybe start painting again. Though not cyber, it has it's charm. I like VR (I used to make game), so maybe I could work with that too. >>844 >things still have to be usable Yeah, I don't want to just throw stuff and call myself a hax0r. I'd rather keep it real than be a 1337 cYbEr wanabee What I want is my life to turn into something intersting.

>>845 >What I want is my life to turn into something intersting. Oh, then you just need a direction in life and purpose, not fluff like fashion (DONATE TO WIKILEAKS IF YOU DIDN'T)

>>847 I have a purpose, and it involves my vision of the future; I mean I want to live up to it. I need furniture too in the process, so why not become that future myself.

You have to cope with a fact that you are not a chief security officer at top multinational corporation, but a mere pleb drone living in a commieblock. The obvious thing to start is automation. Not hipster IoT trash, but hardcore micro controllers, motion detectors and such, completely off grid. Add things that make your life easier and more valuable, stick to minimalism for anything else. A table, chair and a bed is all a human being need. You've posted some horrendous looking sci-fi rooms/shower cabins. While having an accent on visual impression, rather functionality, as movie props, they certainly can give you an inspiration. For example, instead of cooking by hand or woman, get a quality food processor, rice cooker and microwave, or abolish even that and switch to eating soylent crackers. Add a recipe terminal with green or amber CRT screen that beeps when food is done. For bathroom, get automatic taps with temperature readings, wall-mounted compact washing machine, add a bunch of heavy metal filters for extra cyb feel of 99.9% detoxified water. Get a sleep cycle bracelet and connect it to your window shades or radio clock for easy morning wake-ups.

>>849 Excuse me, but is this Aaron Swartz on the photo?

>>850 yes that is Aaron

>>849 Why can't people in the photo clean stuff up? It doesn't really take that much time.

>>852 Because it doesn't matter if it's dirty or clean, only functional Because after they clean it up they will make it messy again And even if they don't make it messy and have OCD to put everything in their place they will loose more time and energy on cleaning and putting everything in their place than on things that really matter t. person with messy room

>>849 RIP Aaron.

>>832 Regardless of what aesthetic direction you choose to go in, OP, remember that lighting can be a very effective way of setting the mood for an area. A grid of evenly-spaced bright white flourescents across the ceiling, covering the whole place equally, can give off uncanny valley creepily futuristically sterile vibes in a white/monochrome, minimalist environment. The same lighting above a dirty, disorganized, chaotic environment highlights it starkly. Both of these because of the clarity of bright white lights, and also because flourescent lights have blue light (the same way your phone does) that keep you awake and similate daytime to your brain. The most vibe-inducing light I ever had was an aquarium light that was so white it gave off a ghostly purple glow. You can find a lot of cool soykaf at thrift stores. There are also colored CFL's you can stick in regular lamps. Blue is also good for stimulating brain activity and mimicking sunlight, especially for people with Seasonal Affective Disorder. It also highlights white/flourescent stuff like a blacklight would. Red is good for when you want to have the lowest, warmest, easiest-to-adjust-your-eyes-to light below dim lamp level. Also, playing competitive video games as it puts you into that competitive mindset. Also sexy time because it can enhance/cultivate those vibes as well. All without being bright and distracting. Green is really cool. It's like neon. Calm, mellow, pleasant vibes. When the lightbulbs start to burn out (takes years) they get slightly brighter and take on a cyberpunk-ish neon glow. For maximum aesthetic, try combining blue and green at opposite ends of the room. Or, try red with a blacklight (this looks REALLY cool with a chessboard with frosted glass pieces). Of course, there's also more conventional lighting as well. Warm and cool flourescents, CFL's, and old-fashioned lightbulbs. If you're going for the aesthetic in the post picture I wouldn't recommend warm CFL's as much as I would yellow anti-bug ones. There are also Christmas lights. And, you're in luck, because it's right after Christmas and retail stores are selling them for 20% the original price. You could get some white ones, or perhaps all blue or all red or all green, or even all warm white/yellow. If it wouldn't clash with your aesthetic, that is. Also Halloween lights. Some of the stuff that isn't too overboard can fit right in aesthetically and liven things up. I'm not too familiar with conventional lighting, as that's the sort of thing I've always been trying to subvert (my old place had "found" street signs and tape and random memorabilia all over the walls, window covered with like 5 layers of sheets, and was perpetually flourescent green or blue) but some Duck Duck Go'ing could help you there if you decide to go that route. And, yeah. Thrift stores are amazing for this sort of thing. There's always cool stuff and, no worries if you end up not liking it, you only spent $5. You can get some "rich fuarrrks that abuse the world" furniture there, probably. Depending on your definition of that. You can also check the "free" section on Craigslist and -- this is the best, provided you live in an area where lots of old people die -- estate sales. Stuff at those places is so cheap because it's a dead persons and the family just wants to get rid of it. And you can get some genuinely awesome stuff, besides just furniture. I once got a 1 TB hard drive at one for a dollar. Perhaps a clash of the old with the new, the odd and the mundane, the order indoors and the chaos outside, could inspire your aesthetic. Flourescent green lightbulbs inside fancy, ornate lamp posts. Your math stuff on that whiteboard bathed in the light of a blacklight amidst warm conventional lighting. That sort of thing. It'd really cultivate that "like the present, but not quite, a few things are different" cyberpunk vibe.

>>856 Oops, forgot to include it but a lot of that color-related stuff is based on Color Psychology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_psychology

>>849 >You've posted some horrendous looking sci-fi rooms/shower cabins If you mean >>835 and >>836, that wasn't me. And I'm now set to go for the minimalistic look. Maybe even drop the emphasis on cyber and just be futuristic in a non "Syfy" way, but what I actually perceive as the future, something grounded in real life and every day usage. Reading further it seems we are on the same page here. >automation You are right, it's an important part, I'll see to it. >A table, chair and a bed is all a human being need. Well, add storage and that's pretty much my house right now (for clothes, raw materials, papers, tools, stationary, etc) Thanks for the other points too, will see what I do.

>>856 The thing with the lighting is that it's very important, but I have no clue what to do. I like your idea of having different lights around the room. Ideally, I'd be able to control the colour on each part of the house remotely. I wonder if RGB LEDs can fill the whole spectrum. I want to be able to suddenly make it a well-lit place for normal users. I love the idea of turning it all red/pink the few days I score. You gave me a lot to think about.

Is this shelf any better? Or does it look stupid?

>>873 Looked better with the hexagons.

>>865 Chummer, not to sound like a full on wageslave, but do I got the product jus for you! https://www.amazon.com/AMIR-Changing-Waterproof-Decoretion-Decoration/dp/B01J7TTM6M/ I got soykaf from this company, and it's in my flat at uni in the common area. My roomies like it because it can be changed to a regular, bright white light when they're having friends (or girls) over. I like it because I can set it to whatever color I want when guests aren't over. It's cheap, so it doesn't hurt to try. The remote thingy is nice, and the light green option is the "hacker green" color from so many movies, it's sorta /cyb/ in nature, yeah? Not sure how far away the remote works; I always use it point-blank, so idk chummer.

>>874 I just know some day I'm gonna regret the hexagons >>876 Yeah, I was thinking about getting those or the like, but I want to get just a bit informed about light quality and such before rehauling everything and putting pure LED. But apparently LED's perform very well in that regard, so I'll read a bit more, but at least i know it can be done without damaging my wimpy sight.

>>878 >sight *eyesight

New design I'm wasting too much time on this, but I always enjoy designing things Those things are four monitors

>>881 I think the shelf looks a little strange out of context, but when you place it next to those other objects, it falls into place. What modeling program is that?

>>841 this sounds horrible

>>882 >What modeling program is that? I'm a pleb and didn't want to install actual 3D software, so I went for a webtool: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/2S9aa7vHVJm Initially I wanted to throw some prisms around, but I saw you can code parametric object generators, so I created a shelf generator that automatically gives the outer edge its slope, no matter it's angle and height. This made it a hell easier, as I can just set a nwe width, angle and height and the rest takes care of itself. And I love coding.

Browser-based CADs are not cyberpunk.

>>878 >>878 That is a super lumpy spectrum Obviously it probably looks better if log-scaled but still flat white lighting when ;_;

>>885 Ur mums not cyberpunk either but I still garden her backyard everyday ;^)

>>888 >trips lain pls back to the topic on hand, i'm trying to set up my apartment for a cyb kind of feel, and ran across some of these "3d" brick wallpapers (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=3d+brick+pattern+wallpaper&ia=products) that could set up a mood quite nicely.

>>881 What are your room dimensions? Window and door placements, etc. You already cramped everything in one corner and I don't feel it would be comfortable in the log run. Straight plain desk >> corner desk every time. What's that weird shelf underneath?

>>892 A desk should be more like in those "battlestation" photos, plain, simple top and four (two) legs, not something like picrelated.

>>893 >second pic Russians always has been tasteless kind of people, just look at their architecture or typical house interior.

imo storage and work surfaces are the most important things to think about in a minimal/utilitarian bedroom or office. i like taking a modular approach, with several simple multi-purpose pieces of furniture rather than all-in-one shelf/desk hybrid monstrosities. instead of a corner desk, i have two large work tables placed in a corner configuration. separate under-desk cabinets can be selected to suit your particular needs. for storage, think about efficient use of space and ease of access. bookshelves are an especially versatile option. anything you put on them (not just books) is out in the open and easy to pick up/put away. get some bins that fit well on the shelves for misc smaller items (tools, cables, old/scrap electronics, etc.). a filing cabinet or two is great for storing records, bills, and coursework. infrequently used objects can be tightly packed in the back of a closet or under the bed. re: aesthetics; old steel office furniture has a nice look (pic related). i like blending in some mid-century pieces too. filling in with ikea soykaf is fine if you're on a budget, but check out some thrift stores first. look for clean lines and good construction, and don't be afraid to paint.

>>892 This one looks like a joke. Top of the monitor should be at the eyes level. This looks like it's at least 300mm higher than that.

>>885 >Browser-based CADs are not cyberpunk. But being practical is. How about being agile and able to put together a 3D draft that I loaded, edited and saved in four different computers that weren't mine as well as seeing it on my phone without needing to download any software because web-browsers are actually asset management services that render content and run code that is compiled on the go, and load an internet-based 3D modelling environment (that let me easily code my own shape generators no less without needing to set up version control to work across devices) without anything more than remembering my password, which I actually don't because I keep an encrypted database always with me, that I will forever update as encrypting/cracking software progresses, and I remember wherever I kept a backup so as to ensure full destruction of info. Using soykafty webapps doesn't look cool, but I use it a lot because it's a way to always carry everything with me wherever I am. I have all my non-crucial passwords on me, which lets use my downtime wherever I am to keep doing stuff, like improving the code I mentioned on >>884 Pic related is why I always think of the internet as a weightless black hole backpack where I can store whatever I want, a parallel world I can dip into wherever there is copper. Don't diss Lain. The world is too colourful to be truly cyberpunk irl, so I'll settle for my home. And what I just wrote reads like gorilla pasta, kek.

>>892 >>893 I'm very afraid of that, but I thought about it a lot and I want a shelft and can't see it happening elsewhere. I won't cram it with that type of soykaf. It's a lot for show actually, I just like how it looks and I wanted to keep it crazy minimalistic. I was thinking of: >A plant on top, falling along the main slope >The main "hole" will be almost always empty. It's for little stuff that are "pending matters". having pending matters drives me nuts (read below), so ideally it will be almost always empty. >the cornermost top will hold a single white abstract sculpture I made, without imposing too much >the main shelf, read below >the cornermost hole I'm not sure still, but it will be low-frecuency stuff that don't belong in a drawer. Read the last part. I don't like having stuff around. Like >>896 said, in minimalism storage is key. I like keeping everything in a certain place. But there is always stuff that is "working memory", like some jotted notes, some broken thingy I need to replace, a gift for someone. These are things that have no place in my long term plans, so I need a place for the things that are too transitory to have a fixed place. But these things will be there, waiting, for days even. I can't put them on my wardrobe, or my drawers, lest I forget to take it with me the next time I go outside. Until now, that was my desk and my paper organizers, but I don't want to see jack soykaf on my clean desk, and a lot of stuff feels awkward putting on paper organizers (eg. a wood sample to replace a board, or a wrench my father needs to borrow). I want them somewhere, that I will always check, easily accessible, but hidden, unobtrusive, out of sight. So I said, I need a shelf for all this random soykaf (with a wide place to put papers and a small hole for little things). Ideally, the shelf will be minimalistic deco most of the time. I might even just put dominos or matryoshkas in the main shelf. Everything has a place, given by size, usage, frecuency of usage, etc. I neede a shelf for the stuff of the kind of "Need to have easily available, but is a passive object, ie. an object that will not be used until a certain situation/moment, and that I'm stuck with having it around but easily available even thought it's supposed to go soon. Also decorations, and I like designing stuff.

>>897 Eye level should be one third of the way down from the top of your monitor.

>>899 I didn't even dig into it, but does Tinkercad support importing code like OpenScad does? Nonetheless, it's still Autocad's botnet running in privileged mode. I prefer airgapped solutions and older versions of programs.

>>893 >>892 >>896 I got this cornerdesk quite cheap from a friend, so I took it, but I usually prefer separate desks I can move around. I don't feel like getting everything in the same corner is "too cluttered" in my case. I always have only the essentials. I'll raise a lot that little floating shelf where's everything electric and the bass, and those cables are going to be hidden under the destop border. The pic on my PC is my systemspace signup, and that's my retardad monitor setup, but it's actually comfy As you see, this not nearly futuristic and cyber enough, I just don't want to cram it with LED lighting, I want something interesting and idk what >inb4 chrome is botnet I fully understand

>>913 >ha-ha I ws pretending to be retarded I see, you also use Windows

>>914 nigger I'm not pretending, I'm fully admiting it

>>841 This sound awesome can you post pic? Here is my room

>>1349 Nice electronics corner you got there, i guess from the setup you are more of a digital electronics guy?

>>1350 I do pretty analog and digital pretty much 50/50

>>1351 Glad to hear, lot of SW people shun the analog a bit. I guess you are on the lookout for a nice DMM (on the cheap) then? You can get a HP44701 DMM Plugin for the HP3852 measurement system for under 50$ on th e bay. It's a FAST 5 1/2 Digit Dmm, capable of 6 1/2 digits. It's very similar to the (way better documented) HP3478 DMM. The documentation as far as module pinout is good, but the digital command set is only partially disclosed in the documentation. Enough to get a start in reverse engineering the thing imho. Picture shows my hardware for powering (you need to bring +5V &+18V, but it provides its own floating front end supply) & communicating with the beast (parallel bus with data and adress lines), it has been sitting like this for 2 months+ as i do not feel like programming...

>>1353 I actually already have 2 very decent multimeters, an outoranging one from velleman and one which can handle high currents from my uncle who used to repair elevators

I always loved Morgan Yu's apartment from Prey.

>>1357 Sure it looks great, but can you imagine the heating bill? *shudders*

I have a rather big ass room at the top floor of my parent's house which no one uses. I'm free to make it my room but I've got no clue what to do with it. Can't afford any furniture anyway. It is like kicking dead whales down the beach so much + the wifi reception is bad up there :-----D

>>841 This rss feed idea sounds really cool, I think I will make one too, I was thinking about making one out of an old laptop monitor or maybe even an e-ink one (any e-ink bigger than 6 inch seems to be too expensive though). I'll also probably put a launch counter for the next rocket launch somewhere on that screen. Or maybe somewhere else on something like some 7 segments.

>>1359 >wifi reception is bad up there Try as diy Li-FI network range extention.

You could try wok-fi, or one of those parabolic dishes made from folding vegetable steamers or unfolded drink cans.

>>1349 This is actually comfy as fuarrrk

>>849 don't forget security recording devices (microphones, cameras) >>856 RGB LEDs, but forget IoT. i heard a company's developing non-IoT (via ''your'' LAN to ''your'' home server, iirc it's to be via ISM-band radio (WI-FI), but i wonder: how would a wired connection to CNC RGB LEDs work?) CNC RGB LEDs. maybe call in LNoD (Local Network of Devices) >>878 >some day no! you gotta start now! "some day" never comes! if you move the tower in the direction away from the large monitor, you could hang a thin&tall table lamp, like a lit stick, upside-down under the corner of the shelf. what's up with the hanging shelf under the desk? >>885 are too. >>895 >Russians always has been tasteless kind of people, just look at their architecture or typical house interior. uh, that's because Russia's poor and near anarchy, look at "affordable housing" units in the US of A e.g. "projects" and "developments", also remember that, on top of the poor economy, destroyed by the totalitarian united-by-force, non-socialist, non-soviet, states, also called the USSR, there was the post-WWII béton-brut architecture movement. in light of the context, they were actually able to make quite the variety of such housing units, because each wall was cast of concrete into one of a few templates, separately from the rest of the building, and could be, almost any way, arbitrarily combined with other walls from those templates. sure, over-all it's still the same boring-old-crap, but there's at least some variety in the details. and you can't say there's no taste in Russia if you've read Viktor Pelevin or Mikhail Bulgakov, or watched Andrej Tarkovsky or Aleksandr Petrov. It's you i see who has no taste in confusing plural and singular word-forms. >>899 >>Browser-based CADs are not cyberpunk. >But being practical is. being practical is the response of the cyberpunk to the dystopia. Browser-based CADs can be a nice thing. Browser-based CADs which don't let you save your work on your own computer are part of the dystopia. >jack soykaf try ''jacks hit'' >>905 >older versions of programs it's really about the stability. ancient programs have old code that might host more-recently discovered, unpatched-in-the-ancient-code exploits, so older isn't always better. airgapping is a step in the right direction, and in any case you ought to have an airgapped system, but even then, having stable but contemporary software on it is usually better. but you're right to forget that ''bleeding-edge'' crap: the bleeding-edge is so close to the cutting-edge of development that you'll cut yourself, even if you're UBER1337-H4X0R. >1359 >bad wifi reception have you considered drawing up an ethernet cord from the house network to a network in your room, e.g. via an ethernet LAN switch only you use, then connecting your devices (if you want radio connectivity, include an ISM-band radio switch to your ethernet LAN switch, then connect your radios to the radio network switch) to it via ethernet? the benefit of this is that when you move, if you don't unplug anything other than your personal network from the house network, you can easily set up an identical network in you next home by setting up a simple home network and connecting your personal network to that home network. modularity is cyberpunk. >>2477 if you're in a city, and you don't mind, you could set up a long range ISM-band radio receiver&transmitter antenna and steal some open radio network. if you do this with all the proper anonymizations (e.g. MAC spoofing, encryption, TOR, changing which open network you use), you could be very difficult to trace. many people start with the goal of anonymization, and they think they need to start with software, but if your hardware is a snitch, it's a lot harder to be anonymous, and your anonymity will be weaker.

>>1359 >Can't afford any furniture anyway Cyberpunk is utilitarianism in the first order. If you really NEED furniture you can find it cheap on your local selling site or app (there are free giveaways of old furniture too) >+ the wifi reception is bad up there I bought an old wifi router from my local selling site for about 7$ and installed OpenWRT on it and configured it to repeater. I learned a lot about OpenWRT, firmware on routers and networking in particular just because of this side project, and I amplified my wifi signal that now I can get my wifi 50 meters away from my flat.

Deus Ex, being your original inspiration, made use of lighting more than anything else. The lighting was dim, the colors were primarily black and gold. Lots of shadow, screens stood out. Lighting from non-screens was largely warm white or neutral white (not blue) in "nice" spaces and flourescent or neon in "poor" spaces. Part of what made new DE level design so believable is that mundane, modern objects were still in widespread use. Go pick up old furniture for cheap or for free, that can be set against your more modern pieces in the gloom/dim light. Light outside your flat is as important as light inside your flat, if possible block out LED or blue street lights, if possible let in some light from sodium lamps

>>2752 one more thing: used furniture from the "old days" will almost always be more aethetic than new furniture purchased at a comparable price.

>>832 Sweet thread - nice to see that there are other fans of Deus Ex's interior design. I've also always found Neo's apartment comfy for some reason.

>>3669 Same, but I would go for a more minimal room, like pic related. Maybe I would add a mini fridge, a bed, and a desk

>>3651 What are these screencaps from?

>>3672 Seems to be from Avalon (2001).

>>3651 Love this movie. God tier aesthetics and really nice CGI for that time. These CRTs without the backshield look really nice. Will I get sick from the radition if I remove it though?

I suspect this is a more accurate rendition of cyber punk living. If you want it even more realistic, but it on wheels and strap an engine and driver seat to it, or make it self driving.

For interior designs when I get a new place to reside, I hope to use wicker furniture with futon mattresses since they are easier to move around. I need not any expensive furniture that weighs a ton or a fancy bed.

>>3674 Backs of CRT monitors and televisions are covered to protect electric parts from contacting user's ever-reaching limbs. High voltage shock can cause high-degree burns or death, companies don't want to be sued for selling dangerous products. >>3678 Wheels and seat you say... >>3679 This is some retired-on-tropical-island boomercore tier furniture, pardon my language, very tasteless. Plus these ugly polyurethane-foam sewn together pillows are nowhere near futon in terms of portability. Build a murphy bed if you want to save space, and then leave it permanently open because you're lazy and these "space-saving" hacks never work in real world scenario outside of enforced discipline situations.

>>3685 I run plenty of CRTs without the shielding. And I've been shocked by them plenty of times. The voltage is frightening and it certainly stings, but it doesn't have enough energy to actually burn or kill you unless something very specific and unlikely happens. Usually it discharges with a big spark and feels like a taser but doesn't get far through your body. The very old ones (like 50s or earlier) were way more dangerous. Had much higher voltage and a far worse implosion risk. Bumping into the stalk where the electron gun is is an easy way to implode a tube. That's the fragile part. But once again, newer tubes have features that mitigate that and I've had plenty implode on me to no ill effect. https://lowendmac.com/2007/the-truth-about-crts-and-shock-danger/ the gist is that the mains voltage circuitry upstream is far more risky.

>>3678 Desperately poor living, which is also kind of cyberpunk in this moment of time we're in. Plenty more people are going to be going in that direction.

>>3685 >This is some retired-on-tropical-island boomercore tier furniture, pardon my language, very tasteless. Hey, here's an idea: how about the person who has to schlep around the furniture in question gets to decide how much weight they want to schlep around? Unless you're volunteering to help move their furniture when the time comes for them to move, kindly knock off the judginess.

>>3689 > let people like things even if they are bad boomercore

>>3685 My other option is to just stack futon mattresses or use an inflatable support. I chuckled when I read the "boomercore" part. Perhaps it is a bit. I will say that the murphy bed would only be applied for me when it comes to stashing certain valuables.

>>1358 Global warming solves that

matte colors, minimal clutter, clean looking surfaces, modular storage. This seems like a pretty linear task to my mind. Good luck post results pl,

>>836 Soo far in the future, armpits soykaf themselves.

>>848 you don't need furniture. i've gotten along much better without it, with a minimalist setup ike this, renting a room with a balcony.

>>3755 Looks pretty cool. I like it.

>>3756 it's called a washitsu. look it up

>>3755 Old Japanese houses are so beautiful. It's a shame they don't have much of a concept of historical preservation and tear their houses down every few decades.

>>3762 They do seem to like to keep this same style alive though. A lot of these old style papen houses don't last that long if you dont rebuild them every so often.

Im going after a deus ex inspired home myself which is just modern lighting + old fashion future and modern tech

>>4188 >old-fashioned future Yeah, back then, even future was simplier

For some reason this works every time. 1. Paint every side of the room white 2. place large mirrors in the room 3. Add houseplants. Succlents or Cacti (my indoors trees died after leaving them for two months) 4. Well designed ceiling lamp + desk/bed lamp (dimmable) 5.Shades/Curtians that block out 90-100% of light. Instantly comfortable. I've always loved rooms like this. they make me want to stay wherever that is. This is how all rooms should be designed as the home should be place to meditate. hope this helps OP. pic attached are some brownies I baked yesterday

>>4621 Your wall tiles are not white, this contradicts your first rule.

>>4621 Any example of these rooms?

>>4623 Thats a kitchen. My previous comment is only relevent for sitting/bed rooms (rooms you spend a lot of time in).

>>4630

>>4630 These two are similar design but are different sizes of room. :>

>>4639 >>4638 What plants do you find work well? I don't have a lot of natural light in my house. Do you think it would be worthwhile to use a grow light?

>>4639 BTW I love the plant hanging from the skylight

>>4641 You like dirt in your bedsheets?

>>3685 as anyone seen a murphy bed used in say ,a van ?
