What kind of bedroom would Terry have

---

I present to you: Ennis House's brutalist, concrete block bedroom!

With the sole exception that I'd make Terry's actual bed in the 1980's into something more eccentric and luxurious. Less typically utilitarian. Something with actual arches and canopies. Something grand and slightly intimidating? Something with a gothic, period type flare? Maybe something like this?

Present day, though, in his Malibu seaside mansion where we're first re-introduced to him, I'd opt for more open concept spaces. Modern minimalism. Clean. Pristine. Lots of whites. Pale colors. An abundance of natural light and glass as opposed to his dark, gritty, gothic (Slightly maximalist?) bedroom of the 80's. Never more furniture than is needed --- in fact, only the bare essentials. A hub meant to rest the eyes and the soul and arranged by precise Feng Shui, without distractions, wholly decluttered, with colossal windows where everything seems pleasantly transparent. Perhaps symbolizing him supposedly turning a new page and his dwelling and sleeping spaces intending to reflect that, being as orderly, clean cut and put together as his life was intended to be. And I do envision something as stark and almost as intentionally and meticulously bare as this, with a vast vista overlooking the ocean. It's only perhaps a little too empty for comfort. De-personalized.

How about when he goes back to his old ways and changes manors once more and he ends up in that forested looking estate where his weapon collection is stashed? The place where he invites Chozen for dinner? The color palette of that home is infinitely different; lots of dark wood, tall shelves, labyrinthian hallways that seem a bit tight, black marble panels, blackout curtains and heavy draperies, a sense of everything being more closed off from all sides, brooding fireplaces and his bedroom is likely to take on a more moody tone by extension too. What I imagine is a lot of modern elegance, a foreboding palette, dim and seductive lights and the overall sense of excess privacy dominating the premises as opposed to before, especially the bedroom, giving off the impression that the place is secluded, overlooking a private, walled off patch of woodland he owns. If anything, Terry's the opposite of someone posturing to be open and rehabilitated in this stage.

Oolong, lapsang souchong, rooibos? ( - the-insouciant-scientist)

(I’ve got doubles of a couple prompts, so I’ll answer half here and half later)

Oolong: How does your OC decorate their space?

Ambrose loves luxury, shiny things, and he’s a bit of a hoarder collector. His decor style is pretty maximalist and the only reason his space isn’t overly cluttered is because he employs a very organized housekeeper. There are a lot of bookshelves, some filled with books and some filled with random trinkets and treasures. He has a nice china cabinet for his T8 item collection (also holding some of his husband’s more valuable stolen prizes). In between the shelves, he’s hung up artwork he bought from various artist friends. There’s also a framed collection of newspaper clippings featuring him or his accomplishments. He likes velvet upholstery, imported rugs, and silk sheets and curtains.

Emery is more concerned with functionality than decoration. Their wife handles most of the decor for their London home, though they have a little study where they have a couple shelves to display their collection of ships-in-bottles and some of their hunting trophies mounted on the wall. The Vake head is positioned so that it is directly above their head when they’re sitting at the desk, staring at anyone sitting across from them. In their shipboard cabin, they have maps and notes tacked up all over the walls, weapons and supplies half-in and half-out of a big sea chest, and extra blankets draped on the bed.

Robin doesn’t like to put too much stuff up on the walls, just in case they need to leave in a hurry. They keep a handful of meaningful notes, photos, and letters in a leather wrap under their pillow. If they put up anything, it’s drawings they get from the urchins they sometimes spend time with. If glow-in-the-dark stars existed in flondon, though, they’d put those on the ceiling above their bed. When choosing stuff like furniture, they like sturdy pieces with soft fabrics and warm colors.

Lapsang Souchong: If your OC was a scented candle, what would they smell like?

Ambrose: black currant, absinthe, vanilla

Emery: sea breeze, leather, musk

Robin: spiced honey, cinnamon, smoky amber

Henry: teakwood, petrichor, lavender

Liam: bergamot, sandalwood, moss

Charlie: caramel, coffee, sweet tobacco

Rooibos: What kind of lighting does your OC prefer? Dim, bright, moody, secret fourth thing?

Ambrose enjoys some nice mood lighting- strategically placed candles, tinted lampshades, lightweight cloth tossed over a lamp. He’ll keep it bright enough to see easily when he’s working/writing/reading, though. He’d love those color changing lights or, like, lava lamps.

Emery doesn’t have strong lighting preferences, they’ll make do with whatever the environment provides. Left to their own devices, they keep it moderately bright.

Robin definitely prefers dimmer light or even darkness. They feel uncomfortable and exposed when it’s too bright. Parabola is an exception though, they actually love the glow of the cosmogone sun.

Why I went from being a minimalist to a maximalist...

Before the Farmhouse look was gaining attention, I really loved the primitive decor. My house then got full sunlight, so it didn't really seem so dark to me and I do love some vintage and antique pieces. But as the Farmhouse look started gaining traction in a big way, I just fell in love with it. It was bright, open, and looked so crisp and clean. So, I did away with all my primitive stuff, all of my antiques (including the very first tv ever made) and I decluttered everything. Went very simplistic with my decor and furniture pieces. I had pops of color with pillows and curtains -- really loved the pop of the teal-ish blue that got so big. It was very easy to keep clean. It always looked clean. It always seemed so bright.

I still loved the vintage and antiques but I only looked at and admired them. Never bought them.

After almost 20 years of living in the same house ad raising my children there on the farm, we moved. We bought another house a few miles away on the top of the mountain, back in the woods.

I tried for 2-3 years to turn this cottage into the same look. Over the past year or so, I realized that I really didn't like the fact that I had to dig out anything I needed bc I kept the countertops so minimal and clean. I started not to like my coffee table and bedside tables and countertops and walls being so bare. It started feeling stale and uncomfortable.

I hadn't realized before but I was equating a clean and minimal look to comfort. And it's really not the same at all.

Listen, I am a clean freak. Everything has a place, an angle in which it sits, has to be were it goes, cannot be crooked on the walls, cannot be dirty or dusty. I cannot go more than a day without vacuuming, no more than 3 days without mopping. I'm super weird about it. It used to dive my husband crazy wen we were first married, but he's since gotten used to it and has now crossed over to my OCD side.

Anyway, I missed my old pieces that had so much character, had their own stories, had a long life before I found them. I started looking up cottage designs bc that's what we bought and I wanted it to be true to it's personality.

What I absolutely love about the cottage core aesthetic are the colors, the different textures, wallpapers(!) -- love some wallpaper, the charm, the mixed patterns, the character, the story it shares with people. It's almost fairytale - like to me. With cottage core, you can do bright, you can do dark, you can do both. You can have each room tell its own story. You can be moody and sexy in the bedroom but bright and light in the living room. You can do golds and florals and pinks in the kitchen. You can do PINK, period! I love a light pink and my husband doesn't mind my love for pink at all. (I think since I'm home all day, he just decided to let me run with whatever if it kept me busy and made me happy.)

I love the sunlight (when it finally reaches my windows in the late morning) but I also really love keeping the house's character and surroundings in tact and complimentary to each other.

I was about to give up on this house. I prayed and prayed and prayed for us to find something else. Until one day I realized God had answered my prayers...just not in the way I asked. He gave me a renewed vision, a new inspiration for what this house could be, how we could have the added square footage and bedrooms we needed. He told me: you need to learn to love and appreciate what you have instead of wanting what you can't have.

Bc of His plans for me, we decided to build onto the house in an unconventional way. We decided to use wall mounted solariums, greenhouses, and conservatories for a new master bedroom, a "parent cave" to watch what we want on tv or read or to have gatherings or whatever, and a breakfast room on the backside of the kitchen. The cost is much less than building on. It gives the house a unique aesthetic on the exterior, as well as the interior. It adds much needed light to come into the house. And it almost doubles our square footage. A cottage home is such a lovely home to own. There's so much you can do.

And since changing from minimalist farmhouse to a cottage core aesthetic, I am once again surrounded by the vintage and antique pieces I love so much and have them all out on display -- like my three beautiful complete sets of gold lined china.

What's your aesthetic? Why do you like it? What about it gives you comfort or makes it feel like home to you?

for all my life I have been on a quixotic search for the right mix of comfy cozy quirky and moody cafes with mismatched furniture and eclectic maximalist decor and I will never find it

Set Styling Research

For my new project I have made a complete house layout in Blender. I took a floor plan I liked after browsing a few in a real estate website featuring luxury homes because conceptually considering the original story of multiple heros living together there would need to be ample living space for a lot of people. I made some alterations in order to use the space the way I felt would be the best  for the characters. They are rather jouvenile heros they all have their own interests and I imagined that the house owner and teacher of the heros would likely host parties with high up politicians to raise funds to maintain their secrecy. I watched a LOT of interior design and architectural shows and videos on youtube and really put my head into being a bit like a tv/movie designer whilst still considering functionality of what these characters need from a home.

I watched Grand Designs, Your Home Made Perfect, Interior Design Masters and Dream Homes on Netflix.

 I also watched videos on youtube from The Sorry Girls, Tina Le, DIY Danie, xo macenna, LoneFox, and Alexandra Gater, as they have great ideas on style, on storage solution, on good room configuration (particularly Alexandra Gater as her clients tend to live in tiny cramped studio apartments and she makes those spaces feel much larger.) I also watched a lot of Architectural Digest in their series of designers creating furniture, designing spaces and their Open Door series, from that I took inspiration from the book shelf created by designer Leonard Bessemer in this video:

Troye Sivan, Bretman Rock and Kylie Jenner's homes in the Open Door series specifically the plants from Bretman Rock, the overal cosy, classy eclictic vibe of Troye Sivan's and I fell in love with the living room and light fixtures in Kylie Jenner's home.

I found I particularly gravitated towards midcentury and dark and moody, maximalist styles, they feel cosy, classic, a bit older and especially in terms of midcentury, timeless.

Making all the house in blender really helps keep things to scale when drawing and makes it a lot easier for me to see the character moving through the space for when I'm animating her, keeping everything to scale as the perspective changes.

Amber was a teenage goth and she’s 100% a goth at heart. Here’s how she made a dreamy, dark, moody home for her family, on a budget.

Amber said, “Our home is a Victorian semi. We instantly fell in love, as we both love period properties. It stretched our budget so we decorated by buying second-hand/vintage, upcycling furniture, and painting bathroom tiles. The majority of the changes we’ve made are cosmetic.  

Amber’s favorite room is the lounge. She wanted a room w/black walls, but was a bit nervous. She’s so glad they did it, b/c it oozes atmosphere and pleases her soul.

The dining room is deep teal with white. Amber says, “ Your starting point for inspiration can come from anywhere: A film, a holiday, a cushion.”

The master is a pretty, dark, sanctuary. It reflects Amber’s styles of moody, maximal, eclectic, bohemian, & vintage.

The mural in the spare room was bought from a friend’s company. 

Painted wall tiles and tub in the bath turned out great.

Do you have anymore suggestions for people who want to go full CSD? The tacky 70’s stuff is my favorite.

CSDs need a few things to be Full On CSD:

- One to three colors. EVERYTHING will be this color. Your carpet. Your walls. Your pillows. Your desk. CSD spares nothing when it comes to monochromatic decor.

- Strictly one pattern. What’s it going to be - plaid? Floral? a rainbow motif? You have so many options. Pick carefully, because it’s going to be all over the place. Your drapes. Your bedspread. Maybe even a chair.

- Carpet. Everywhere. Sorry, you don’t have a choice. Yes, this means the en suite bathroom too.

- Moody ass lighting. You have to keep it dim because it’s sexy, but also maybe because you are afraid of the monochrome. Does it really matter? No.

- Some kind of weird, loungey, made-for-orgies giant piece of furniture made for sitting.

Next I will give you some CSD Extreme Inspiration, and then we will move on to a more livable, slightly more modern version of CSD.

LOVE IT. Every bit of it. Even the carpeted bathrooms - I just can’t hate them. 

Think of the above rooms as Paris Fashion Week, and think of the images below as a midend retailer that’s received the trickle down effects of fast fashion.

I think these are great workable ways to have your very own CSD.

You definitely need a big, shaggy rug. The higher pile the better. I didn’t know I needed this until now and now I am terrified my house might spontaneously combust into a CSD. 

Your window treatments need to match your rug. In fact, they should match everything else, so you might as well buy a few dozen yards of your favorite oppressively patterned upholstery fabric and make curtains, bedskirts, and pillow shams. 

You could also pick a motif like rainbow and just go with that. I actually found a bedspread very similar to the one in the post here! It’s really cute and would work in normal rooms, not just CSDs. You could pair it with this rug if you wanted it to be more of a modern, toned down CSD tho. 

You need a swag lamp. I have one because I ripped it off the wall at an estate sale. It was not for sale. They gave it to me anyway. 

You need some chunky plastic furniture. I like this shelf set and this chair (talk me out of buying this for real tho).  If you get them in your motif color that’s even better, but white or clear are perfectly acceptable. 

You need mood lighting, because your swag lamp is not enough. I like this weird set too much. 

You need mirrors! Everywhere! To do cocaine off of! To view your orgy from all angels! I really like this one! 

CSDs are very diverse. You could have a bohemian CSD, a minimalist CSD, a gothic CSD....anything your heart desires. My fav is the classic, maximalist, monochromatic CSD. I hope this helps!

Arplis - News: Everything Team Domino Wants to Buy This Fall

One of the most fun parts of working at Domino is that we essentially window-shop for a living. Every season, we get a sneak peek at what our favorite brands are launching next, from innovative materials (resin tables, anyone?) to groovy new patterns. You can imagine a lot of bookmarking goes on. With fall collections dropping left and right, we figured we’d share our intel and offer up our wish lists for the season. After all, the loss of summer is less of a bummer when you have a fun little pick-me-up to get you excited about autumn.  Digital Editorial Assistant Lydia Geisel’s Pick: MoMA Design Store’s Mondri Vase I’m gravitating toward primary hues and neon this season, and MoMA’s lineup is super-bright and playful. I’m really excited about the glass furniture by Patricia Urquiola (it’s made with five layers of glass, each with a different colored film) and the new and improved Mondri vase. Mondri Vase, MoMA Design Store ($100) Style Assistant Julia Stevens’s Pick: Beni Rugs’s Blue and Green Rug I’m a sucker for Yves Klein Blue, so you can imagine how excited I was to see these rugs pop up in my in-box. The collection of 13 pieces, woven with bold architectural and botanical prints, was inspired by the iconic Le Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech. It’s out November 1, just in time to cozy up and add some extra color to your space. Blue Rug, Beni Rugs (coming soon) Senior Social Media Editor Alyssa Clough’s Pick: Hay’s Flowerpot This season, I keep going back to Hay’s newest launch. Specifically, its planters. All my plants outgrew their homes this summer, so I’m in need of a handful of new pots and want an upgrade from the usual terracotta—but nothing too pricey. The product designers at Hay must have read my mind, because the fall decor line has two perfectly on-trend options: the Flowerpot, a polystone design that looks like cement and comes in six different colors, and the Botanical Family Pot, a streamlined, ceramic style. Flowerpot, Hay ($40) Digital Editor Rebecca Deczynski’s Pick: Kip & Co.’s Marble Magic Linen Sheets In 2018, I swore off the all-white bedspread I’d favored for the previous five years and embraced my more maximalist side. My bed is the focal point of my room, so I might as well make it stand out—and what better way to do that than with coral reef–printed sheets or a deep blue velvet duvet? I’m also a recent linen bedding convert, and luckily this Aussie brand has plenty of patterned and jewel-toned options. The marbled version, in particular, is something out of my sweetest dreams. Marble Magic Linen Fitted Sheet, Kip & Co ($139) Senior Home Editor Gabrielle Savoie’s Pick: Ferm Living’s Distinct Coffee Table I just moved into a bigger apartment with my boyfriend, so I’ve been furniture shopping a ton these days. One of the collections I can’t get enough of is Ferm Living’s new line. Fluid shapes and mesmerizing materials make beautiful statement pieces that are definitely investment-worthy but not over-the-top expensive. I’m eyeing the multilevel travertine coffee table, the organically shaped seamless mirror, and the navy-glazed, hand-sculpted lamp. Distinct Coffee Table, Ferm Living ($1,499) Editorial Assistant Esmé Stern’s Pick: Hawkins New York’s Simple Waffle Towels I’ve been known to resist the beginning of September, hoping, instead, to live in the naive mind-set of an endless summer. This year, though, Hawkins’s fall and winter offerings are actually making me excited for cooler weather to take center stage. The autumn-inspired color palettes (burnt oranges, soft pinks, forest greens) and mixed materials (rattan, marble, stoneware) instantly transport me to my ideal crisp night: Preparing a warm meal in the Shaker serveware bowls, wrapping myself in a waffle towel, and reading by the light of the Mima lamp. Simple Waffle Towels, Hawkins New York ($10) Deputy Editor Lindsey Mather’s Pick: Muuto’s Ceramic Dots Muuto’s giant wood dot hooks stole my heart way back in 2013, when I saw them in Faye Toogood’s kitchen, taking the place of standard cabinet pulls. (How genius is that?) This fall, the brand has reimagined them in ceramic form—a reactive glaze makes each one of a kind—so they’ve moved up even higher on my wish list. Other highlights from the collection: a cloud-like, Noguchi-esque pendant lamp (group a few for maximum drama) and a ribbed terracotta floor vase, a very necessary purchase since our new office is right in the middle of the flower district. Ceramic Dots, Muuto Brand Partnerships Visuals Director Meghan McNeer’s Pick: Soho Home’s Monroe Cushion This season has me dreaming of a good book in front of a warm fire with a glass of orange wine (preferably in the English countryside). Soho House’s Babbington collection is elevated, English-cottage chic with a color palette based in dusty rusts, rose blushes, and sage greens that will help me softly transition from summer neons to moody winter blues. At the moment, I’m especially wild about orange, so these pillows are my fall essential. Monroe Cushion, Soho Home ($74) Associate Digital Editor Elly Leavitt’s Pick: Minna’s Striped Duvet Cover I didn’t think I needed to switch up my bedding…until I was stalking Minna’s New Arrivals section and came across the subtly patterned duvet covers I never knew I needed. As a general rule, I love the brand’s muted earthy tones, but the latest textile launch is especially ideal for mixing and matching. My favorite is the striped sage option; I have terracotta-colored accents in my bedroom that would pair perfectly with the hue. Stripes Duvet Cover Sage, Minna ($445) What seasonal updates are you making to your space?

Design Dilemma: Maximalism in Denmark

Photo by Rasmus Malmstrøm/ Kopenhagen Collective – Search dining room pictures

Earlier this month, we took a look at a Danish home featuring severe minimalism. Everything was white — walls, furniture, floors. This time, we’re looking at a Danish home done up in the exact opposite style  Scandinavian maximalism!

What does that mean? Try walls painted dark moody colors, ceilings that have been stenciled in a pattern or wallpapered, floors that have also been treated the same, and plenty of art work, objects d’art, shaggy rugs and dramatic flourishes. It’s not a look that you often see in Scandinavia, but the owners of this apartment wanted to try something a little different from the all-white norm.

Photo by Rasmus Malmstrøm/ Kopenhagen Collective – Browse dining room ideas

The owner, in fact, says she doesn’t believe in half measures. When you decorate, she feels you have to go all the way. It’s not enough to paint one accent wall a brilliant color and leave everything else white, as, in her opinion, there’s no consistency. So she’s worked toward consistency by stenciling her ceilings to match all the drama down below.

Here is the ceiling during the process:

One of the most impressively maximalist features is a dining room wall papered with the image of a Spoonbill bird. The owner found the poster online for $500:

The bedroom ceilings have been painted as well, providing lots of color and pattern. The ceiling is painted gold and black and decorated with old playbills and Bjørn Wiinblad posters.

Kudos to this homeowner for being brave enough to challenge the conventional Scandi all-white look! We think the moody coziness of the space is perfect for short gray Danish days and long dark Danish nights!

Design Dilemma: Maximalism in Denmark

Earlier this month, we took a look at a Danish home featuring severe minimalism. Everything was white — walls, furniture, floors. This time, we’re looking at a Danish home done up in the exact opposite style  Scandinavian maximalism!

What does that mean? Try walls painted dark moody colors, ceilings that have been stenciled in a pattern or wallpapered, floors that have also been treated the same, and plenty of art work, objects d’art, shaggy rugs and dramatic flourishes. It’s not a look that you often see in Scandinavia, but the owners of this apartment wanted to try something a little different from the all-white norm.

The owner, in fact, says she doesn’t believe in half measures. When you decorate, she feels you have to go all the way. It’s not enough to paint one accent wall a brilliant color and leave everything else white, as, in her opinion, there’s no consistency. So she’s worked toward consistency by stenciling her ceilings to match all the drama down below.

Here is the ceiling during the process:
