A green flag man - Nanami Kento

• Nanami Kento, the epitome of chivalry. Everyone wants him and if not they want to be him.

• The best boyfriend god could make.

• Carries your shopping bags, pays your meals, kneels down to talk to you if you're feeling unwell, buys you flowers on a random Tuesday just because, takes you out on lovely planned dates.

• Acts of services are his love language. Likes ironing your clothes with his. Makes you a sandwich as well when he makes his own. Knowing you'll ask for a bite and end up wanting more.

• Food is another one of his love language. Kento's actually a foodie so often times he makes you dishes and packs you lunch. Peels a little fruit platter for you when he realizes you haven't eaten enough fiber that day.

• Quality time is another love language of his that he never realizes. Cherishes when you're in his arms in the morning while you're asleep. A soft smile on his face while he presses gentle kisses on your cheeks and forehead.

• Instinctively open doors for you like second nature. Slows down his pace when you walk together. He puts his hand on the edges of the table so you don't hit your head when you pick up something.

• Likes holding your hand whenever you go anywhere together. It's either that or he has an arm around your waist.

• Likes taking pictures of you and he has a picture of the two of you as his wallpaper.

• Has an alarm set to wake up before he actually has to go to work so you two can cuddle in the morning.

• Even when you fight he has never raised his voice at you. Absolutely hates it when you two have arguments. Will never take his anger out on you.

• Anytime someone hits on him he firmly rejects them. Telling everyone he has a significant other. Will not even tolerate toying around the idea of another person in your relationship. Never even thinks of it.

Is he actually that much of a green flag?

• You'll never realize it but you slowly become spoiled by him. It's weird but when he's not here to open a jam jar for you. You'll pause for a moment before you realize you can open it yourself.

• Have you never realized how fast your relationship is progressing? You've only been dating him for 6 months and you've already moved in together.

• When you joke about it his eyebrows knit together for a moment before he changes the topic. Squeezing your hand gently and reminding you how long you've been friends before dating.

• He's always been intimidating. Even more so in bed, his rough hands on your hips while he's thrusting into you.

• The first time the two of you slept together. There was almost a crazed look on his face when he kissed your thighs. His eyes practically rolled back when he finally had a taste of you.

• Doesn't mean to hurt you but his grip is too tight that he can't help it. He actually really hates hurting you. Accidently getting too rough in bed and leaving bruises from how hard he pins you down. Sometimes bite marks leaving blood trailing down your skin.

• Kento's a jealous man. He doesn't say anything about it after all he doesn't want you to think he's insane. You have your own life and he has his but he can't help but want you near him all the time.

• Sometimes he can't but loathe your friends for hanging out with you the whole day and he's left only having dinner and cuddles with you.

• He absolutely despises when you drink with anyone besides him. He absolutely hates it if you even stay out late with anyone other then him. He can't tell which one he hates more. You getting drunk or getting drunk around other men.

• Even when you're just helping someone. He'll low-key be mad that you decided to help them. Especially if it's a man.

• Something a little funny he does is he sprays his cologne on your items to remind you of him when you go out with others.

• What he dislikes most is when he calls and you don't pick up the phone. He's a busy man and he wants to make sure your safe so he calls during your lunch breaks to check on you. Even if your phone died, he gets annoyed.

• Gifts you jewelry that has tracking devices on them. Afterwards he secretly installs a tracking device on your phone.

• He's not the type to yell when he's mad. He's the type to give silent treatment. It'll end up either with you sitting in his lap trying to butter him up or most likely you on his cock whimpering apologies.

• Sometimes he dislikes this part of himself. That he's so jealous and overprotective. He just wants you to himself all the time, it's unhealthy and he knows that.

• Kento always apologizes though, making you breakfast and holding you in his lap while you two watch tv and cuddle together.

• A little part of him gets turned on seeing the hickeys he leaves on you. He can't help but kiss them when he see's them.

• You'll never realize it but it's actually been month since you last saw your friends or even texted them in fact. Kento may or may not been deleting their numbers behind your back.

• Someone you don't talk to anymore? Goodbye. Old classmate you recently started texting again? Their number changed. Best friend wanting to hang? Oh no they suddenly hate you.

• When that happens you'll be running into Kento's arms and he'll be comforting you. Telling you how they weren't good for you anyways. After all your dear boyfriend knows best.

• You're parents won't suspect a single thing either if you haven't contacted them in a while. Kento's a responsible man after all. They'll probably think you're just busy.

• Often times has unhinged thoughts of replacing your birth control with vitamins so he can get you pregnant and marry you. Definitely has fantasy's have making you his little housewife.

• Might actually do it someday.

Prints and Patterns

A light on Prints & Patterns.

The patterns on a fabric just put colors on are definitely not woven into fabric. called Prints. These are found in several types like, customized shapes, colors, lines, etc. and in the form of objectives as well. The work of art made in multiple iterations, created through a transfer process. The word “Print” is derived from the Old French word for “Impression,” it makes a product look different from its own origin. It has the power to grasp the attention of someone towards it. When prints and patterns work together it gives a hard on its final  project. Nowadays, people are using most commonly made from an acrylic polymer.

Why are Prints important?

Printing is used not merely for books and newspapers but  as the time flies it is also used for textiles, plates, wallpaper, packaging, and billboards. Several studies have concluded that people simply absorb content better when it's presented on a page, rather than a screen. This is why some college students are reluctant to use PDF versions of their textbooks; reading printed material somehow allows for higher brain function and better information retention. These designs can be simple or super detailed, but they all have the same goal: to make the fabric look even more amazing! Due to some eye-catching prints and patterns, clothes become more appealing to customers, grabbing their attention and making them want to take a closer look. Printing on fabric plays a crucial role in the fashion industry, being a method for applying designs, patterns, or images to fabrics. Textile printing offers a wide range of design options, allowing clothing manufacturers to create a variety of unique Styles, Prints and  Patterns, and Colors of Fashion.

Why are Patterns important?

In the garment industry, patterns are used in order to cut the fabric pieces and to make the garment. Patterns are essentially made so that the same style can be easily duplicated when it is needed and multiple pieces can be efficiently made. Improved quality: Patterns can help to ensure that garments are made to the desired specifications, which can lead to improved quality and customer satisfaction. Prints and  Patterns making is the process of creating a blueprint of your garment. A pattern is used as a template to cut out fabric that matches the required specifications to sew a garment. Its factors in the type of fabric, the intended fit on the wearer, and any trims that will be used. Prints  and Patterns on a fabric makes a plain to be creative.

Final product as printed fabric? 

Generally, the finishing process includes three basic stages: washing and drying, stabilizing, and pressing. In addition, some fabrics are then treated to make them anti-static, water repellent, or flame retardant. Many methods applied to fabrics in these stages are very specialized and we can't discuss them all. Definitely, after applying Prints and Patterns on chic indicates customization of fabric then that fabric is processed further for next processes like cutting and stitching.

Addition of Tie & Dye in fabric:- 

Tie & Dye is a term used to describe a number of resist dyeing techniques and the resulting dyed products of these processes. The process of tie-dye typically consists of folding, twisting, pleating, or crumpling fabric or a garment, before binding with string or rubber bands, followed by the application of dye or dyes. Textile printing is the process of applying color to fabric in definite prints and patterns or designs. In properly printed fabrics the color is bonded with the fiber, so as to resist washing and friction. In golden era, people were using natural objects to paint the garments i.e. Leaves, Vegetables, Stones, etc. Nevertheless, Tie and Dye fabrics are included in Rajasthani cultural traditions. Moreover, due to Social media, people are connecting globally and sharing their ideas of painting, prints and patterns to give an elegant look to their final outfits.

Prints and its historical background:- 

Printing blocks have been discovered that date back to around 3000 B.C." Fabric painting remained popular on the continent, and by the time Alexander the Great invaded India (327 B.C.), fabrics full of colorful printed and painted images were a normal possession among the people. There are several thighs to disclose about the past of prints but our main topic is just for the usage of prints and patterns.

Motifs and Prints:- 

A motif is a repeated idea, pattern, image, or theme. In the textile arts, a motif is also called a block or square which is a smaller element in a much larger work. Motifs can be any size, but usually all the motifs in any given work are the same size. There are types of motifs which are defined as:

Symbolic Motifs: These motifs take the form of symbols that represent a larger idea or theme.

Conceptual Motifs: These motifs are built around a particular concept or idea that recurs in the story.

Structural Motifs: These motifs are repeated patterns or structures in the story.

Types of Prints in fabric:- 

There are several types of the prints and patterns in the fabric but the majorly are in used are mentioned ahead:- 

Boho Prints:- Boho style is a free-spirited aesthetic that mixes different cultures and artistic expressions into an eclectic style with an emphasis on organic elements and nature. When putting together your boho style space, mixing patterns, metals, woods, materials, animal hides and trinkets from your travels is highly encouraged. 

Screen Prints:- Screen Printing is a process where ink is forced through a mesh screen onto a surface. Making certain areas of the screen impervious to printing ink creates a stencil, which blocks the printing ink from passing through the screen. The ink that passes through forms the printed image.

Block Printing:- A printing block is sometimes called a printmaking block, a wood block or a block. You can also refer to one simply as a printing block.

Animal Printing:- Animal print is a clothing and fashion style in which the garment is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur, feathers or scales of animals such as a leopard, zebra, giraffe, tiger or cow.

Batik Prints:- Batik is an Indonesian technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to the whole cloth. This technique originated from the island of Java, Indonesia. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of wax with a spouted tool called a canting, or by printing the wax with a copper stamp called a cap.

Rest there are several prints and patterns which can be used by us, on a daily basis but we are not aware about it. But we should know which prints are suitable for your eyes and your comfort. Rest we are always here to help you out and provide you best opinion as always.

Completed - House Flipper 2

All houses are living creatures of chaos, when you get down to it.

There are many arts I'm not great at. Most fiber crafts for one. Watercolor painting, two. Interior design, big time. Like, I'm not going to let my house get filthy, and I'm going to keep everything running to the best of my ability. (Hell, there's something empowering about replacing a toilet's float!) But, by nature? I'm just about keeping things picked up and in general functional order. If you're gonna ask me about what's fashionable when it comes to interior decorating, you're going to get a response that looks like something out of a 1970s Sears catalog. I'm about being functional, economical, and comfy when it comes to my house. Not cool or trendy.

Cool people don't have a wood-paneled basement, oak-laminate particleboard cabinets, or CRT television sets.

Since I'm an aficionado for mid-to-late century American interiors (and the weird vibes they can produce), I tend to follow blogs online that showcase such rooms that still exist in the modern era. Two such blogs include Unteriors and Roomhole. As a response to Unteriors, another blog called Unteriors-In-House-Flipper-2 has crossed my dashboard from time to time. Their skill in rendering such locations is shockingly good. Like, I think you could trick people into thinking these were real-world images. As someone who has dinked around with a few 3D editors, I was fascinated about the tool they were using. What was "House Flipper 2"? How could its users make something that looked so good so fast?

Well, practice is an obvious answer. Familiarity with the tools. A good understanding of lighting, too. But, having the tool be pretty good to begin with also helps!

As the name implies, "House Flipper 2" is a design tool/game that simulates the reconstruction (or straight up construction) of various spaces. You can do this either to your own whims or to those of various clients in the game's story mode. While a person can just dive right into a sandbox and mess around with tools as they see fit, the story mode does give structure and context to how each tool works. The plot there is nothing to write home about, but the houses themselves…man. No shit "Crime Scene Cleaner" is a game that exists. Garbage-based jump scares abound, and I'm not just talking about the awful wallpaper your character's parents keep putting up.

Hmm. Both "House Flipper 2" and "Crime Scene Cleaner" are under the Playway publisher page in Steam. The games have different developers, but I do wonder if their staff members were talking to each other. Perhaps even sharing employees…

If a player is hoping to get something a little deeper than an HGTV television show in terms of plot, they may come away disappointed from "House Flipper 2." I'm not saying that a person can't draw their own conclusions from the details they find around the house they are cleaning. (I'm pretty sure a couple was copulating in the bathroom at one house concert, for one.) You're just not going to deal with anything more complicated than cleaning up a house post-flood. Which, trust me. At the risk of beating a dead horse, I have a lot of empathy for that. But, it's not exactly navigating the factional relationships between Pinnacove town citizens and designer corporation Accenzo, like being in some kind of housing-based "Shin Megami Tensei" RPG. It's just generally trying to make people happier.

I mean, if we're being super honest, most of them pissed me off via jealousy over familial/economic stability and being able to pursue their own dreams. But, I did think it was pretty cool that one of my clients had vitiligo. I mean, I guess all video games with Michael Jackson in them also star someone with vitiligo, but that's a unique and thoughtful design choice.

To complete your jobs, you get (or gain access to) the following options:

Hands (for moving objects around)

Flipper Tool (responsible for selling or duplicating items, as well as changing their appearance post-purchase or copying their style)

Collecting Trash

Cleaning (for stains and windows)

Vacuuming

Demolishing (for wrecking walls)

Building (for building walls)

Edit Wiring (to hook your electronics up to switches)

Surface Finishes (for tiling, wood, and wallpaper)

Painting

Most are intuitive, once you get access to them. The more you use them, the more perks and abilities you can unlock for them. Since there's not a great real-world equivalent for the Flipper Tool, that one may take a little more time to get used to. Just remember that it has a submenu for selecting its various features, and you should be good to go.

Client demands are highlighted on your tool wheel with yellow exclamation points. Getting into your quest menu will also show you an itemized list of tasks to perform. When you have a tool selected, you can hit a Flipper Sense button to have what needs to be acted on highlighted in yellow. Very handy, especially when you can't see what to destroy or clean up.

Usually, you'll have the best luck doing the following in order:

Sell off unwanted stuff.

Bag trash.

Vacuum.

Clean stains.

Clean windows.

Paint.

Resurface walls and floors.

Buy wanted stuff (and arrange as desired.)

Unpack boxes (for stuff the client has already purchased.)

Some of your objectives get hidden behind furniture, so be sure to fling that aside if you get stumped. Might as well spam the Flipper Sense, too. You do get points for it, after all!

The only "threat" you have is your budget. I put that in quotes because, assuming you are following the client's requests, you should never go anywhere near running out of money. Even in your own projects, you can repeat previous jobs to get more cash, should you get in a pinch. Just put in enough attention and elbow grease to max out your job to three stars, then cash out.

You do get into a lull, working through those jobs. At a certain point, you may hit a level of brain fatigue with redesigning whatever items your customers want you to purchase and just give into their requests, regardless of how you feel about the style of the products you are purchasing. The game's just checking that you made the right purchases, not that you placed them well or used a certain style. Perhaps this brain fatigue is what makes coming across a junked-up room all the more shocking. You're just trying your best with making an efficient, pleasant space, and wham! Thirteen pizza boxes chucked across an attic space, complete with grease stains sinking into the hard wood floors. Like, there's worse things to find in a house. I've seen worse in real life. But, it doesn't mean that it didn't make me curse or shudder.

Man, though. I get where real-life house flippers just keep doing the same crap over and over again. White walls and gray laminate floors aren't just the results of creative bankruptcy and penny pinching. It's also mental fatigue and executive dysfunction.

Additionally, the game will occasionally treat you with a furniture assembling mini-game. Successfully getting at least 2 stars on your assembled product will grant you a small discount to purchased items of that class in game (somewhere between 2-6%, depending on the difficulty of the item in question.) They work well enough, despite some arguments I had with the game's camera. Whoever made the time limits to beat on those mini-missions needs to have some kind of intervention for whatever stimulants they are abusing, though. Like hell I'm repeating something that took me 20 minutes to put together just because they think it can be done in 15.

You can also platform across "Floor is Lava" maps, but man. I'm just here to fix up houses.

If you did want to cut out the story and get right to the point, a sandbox mode is available for you. The tools aren't an exact 1 to 1 with the tools you get in the story mode, but there's enough overlap that playing the story mode will help you out here. Additionally, there are tools for assigning quests, jobs, etc. in the event that you want to upload your map to mod.io and have other players play your map. You can also control the lawn growth and punch holes in the map, which man! Would have I liked those options in the main game.

When you are allowed to take full control over a house and exercise your skills, you will likely be happy with the variety of colors, textures, and items to play with. The furniture is somewhat restricted to modern creations akin to something you'd find in IKEA or on Wayfair, with only select deviations made for the occasional appliance to look mid-century modern. (Which, for someone who has a fair amount of CRT television sets around the house, is a bit of a bummer. The one CRT they have in game is just not the vibe I'm going for, either.) Each furniture item and texture set can be dyed in at least three sets of color styles separated by vibrance, sometimes also coming with different pattern, wood, or metal types. In the right circumstances, you can also use photos off your own computer for additional artwork! For someone that remembers the more static days of the original Sims release, it's particularly impressive! Significantly fewer dead people around, too.

I'm always amused when guys discover exactly what gals did in "The Sims" games. Those games were pool-based slaughterhouses. Girls had to get their cool graveyards somehow.

When I had hiccups with the game, I could get around most obstacles by figuring out how to talk to the game in its own logic. Like, once I removed a timber log to paint behind it, then had to resize said log into a sliver to get it back into place, then resize it once more to its original size. Hooking up electrical wiring also wasn't explicitly taught, but I figured it out after messing around with light settings in a ranch house. The only problems I had that couldn't be fixed were being unable to cut triangular shapes out of bricks or placing bricks down in spots where the game arbitrarily said no. Annoying? Sure. But, that's a surprisingly low limitation.

Although, it would have been nice to be able to manually freeze items into a single group. Or, just have a bunch of items for purchase as a group. (Like, I'm talking having a block of books instead of having to arrange one at a time. I suppose you could put them onto a tray, move them, then delete the tray, but man. That feels weird.) Also, it's kind of weird that there are so many toys, but not a generic teddy bear or doll. Like, there's action figures for fake games, but not much in the way for dolls or stuffed animals. I don't know. Just seems like a thing kids would have.

Another weird thing—I ended up having this intermittent input issue with a Nintendo Switch controller that I was using from time to time. For whatever reason, right stick input would lock into a counter-clockwise circle, and I'd have to shake it out of that bad behavior. I doubt many people are using Switch controllers for PC gaming, but hey. Guess I’m weird like that. (I didn't have any issues with an Xbox 360 controller or the standard keyboard and mouse, for what that's worth.)

"House Flipper 2" is an awesome tool that happens to have a decent game mode attached to it. I am wondering how this could be used more as a partner tool or competitor to something like Sketchup more than expanding the boundaries and lore of Pinnacove. I imagine an average interior designer could get a lot of use out of something like "House Flipper 2," even if that's not the exact purpose of it. A person is never going to get exact furniture matches with it, but I imagine you could at least mock up a room relatively quickly with it. To those in the right industry, that might be pretty neat.

The base price for "House Flipper 2" is around $39.99 with a bonus DLC Starter Pack for $9.99. I suspect this price may change depending on how many people they want/need to pull in for co-op playtesting, so watch for any potential sales. I'm not exactly certain how many of my readers would be into building homes and decorating them, so for them, this may be too expensive. But, hey. It's important to engage in non-violent, constructive play, from time to time. This is a good way to do just that.

Although, if an option opens up to smash some digital NIMBY or HOA president's car in with a sledgehammer, I'm all for that, too. Gotta make this housing market more affordable somehow.

Floor 001

Rating - Safe

There are no known entities that originate on this floor

No known denizens have been reported to have Floor 001 as their Home Floor as of ■■/■■/■■■■

Description - Floor 001 is a seemingly infinite and monotonous set of halls and rooms decorated with a yellow wallpaper adorned with simple repeating patterns, and a floor made of mismatched dingy brown carpeting thats split up in an odd patchwork-esque way along the ground as if it was thrown together last minute.

What Floor 001 lacks in physical landmarks it makes up for in its strange properties, it is noted by denizens as having many strange odors, notably always being identified as smells that cause the denizen in question distress of some kind, whether it be a traumatic or instinctual response. Monsters with territorial animal ancestry, such as canids or felines, have a notable spike in anxiety levels when on this floor and may start to become paranoid, some insectoids as well may become lost following what they believe is a pheromone trail by mistake. If any of these descriptors apply to you, remember, if you begin smelling what your mind believes is another of your kinds territory or a trail leading to a way out, ignore it, it is lying to you.

There is currently no explainable source for any of this, as all that testing has found is mostly benign (but foul) chemicals within the squares of carpeting such as cadaverine and putrescine, fragments of bones in the carpet fibers, as well as some areas containing trace amounts of dust from possible deceased monsters, any attempts to figure out the source or identities of these assumed cadavers has lead to nothing.

Another unique feature of this floor is its strikingly non-euclidean and constantly changing nature, while impossible geometry is very common in The Outer Bounds, Floor 001 outshines all other floors with how much of a dangerous inconvenience it is known to be, once the elevator leaves your field of view around a corner you will have to find a new way back to it, and same goes for any denizens you entered with. If you enter this floor as a group, do NOT split up unless you are prepared to venture the floor alone for an indeterminable amount of time. Communication devices like radios and walkie-talkies do not work on this floor and neither does a GPS, even paper maps are known to constantly shift in appearance (or rarely even catch on fire) if brought here regardless of if being for a different floor entirely, but sometimes things like mobile phones do work (albeit with limited functionality) if that provides you a sense of comfort. if you do happen to have any electronics on you some walls do have functional power sockets if needed. Even if the devices are rendered nonfunctional they charge completely fine here.

Floor 001 has been very extensively explored and studied but there are still many kinds of phenomena that occur that hasn't had a chance to be fully documented, on rare occasions you will find a door somewhere within the halls that leads to a different section of Floor 001 or rarely even another floor entirely, and this is where the documented info gets limited and will be included in a different file for brevity. Do NOT enter these doors unless you're prepared beforehand or if you are LEET personnel working for The Archive.

While there are some useful materials to be found here in various abandoned outposts and such, ultimately whether or not you're willing to risk it is entirely up to you. Rest assured if you do get lost though, time doesn't move here at all, so you've got plenty to wait for rescue teams to comb through the area and find you.

Pictures of furniture (07/13/24)

Currently, I’m outside. It’s raining, and I’m trying to spark a fire. There’s a trail of failed attempts left in my wake. If I really wanted to, I could curl up in my three story cabin and cultivate what I already have. I could continue ornamenting my walls with new memories and with deeper understanding of each room, running my fingers through each fracture in the wood. It’s very tempting to hide away in this lavish, analogized abode.

On the daily, I see people tend to a fleet of tiny homes. They flaunt them; These tiny homes, made of paper. They house abstract and superficial contents that the owner can’t even seem to distinguish. Once in a while though, I walk through a new neighborhood. It's so peaceful looking at the trees that have their own individual way of spiraling up, grasping toward the sun, and the unique houses that line the streets. Sometimes, I find a mansion. 7-8 years in the making potentially, maybe even more. But when I peer in through their windows, all I see is pictures of furniture.

I’m trying to extend the size of my house, maybe add a room or two. Maybe I want a side home or something. I’m fine with either. But here I am trying to build a foundation, trying to create a small fire at the very least, and I'm being blasted by a torrent of rain and wind. Once in a while the rain actually kinda stings.

I’ve already come to the conclusion that the only surefire way to add a room to my house, is to wait for someone to stumble upon my doorstep. Then, naturally and intuitively, it ends up building itself.

I failed to mention, that a lot of people rarely match my superior artistic taste in furnishing, or wallpaper, maybe the choice in wood, whatever the fuck else you put in a room. And to add to that, a lot of people are not the greatest guests. They don’t even understand the mechanisms behind the furnishings, don’t even have a relational vocabulary. It is honestly kinda pathetic. It’s also sad, because I didn’t consciously learn any of these things; But my god, I can’t deal with people shitting in the bathtub anymore.

Once in a while I find the most succulent guest, my mouth waters in anticipation for their arrival. But sadly, they are usually too busy cultivating their own house. Sometimes, these are the people with a bunch of shitty little fifty square foot rooms that they squeeze into their mansions. When I see that it really excites me, I could show this person what a real room is. I could show them that I put time and energy into not only the foundation, but also, how comfy my hand crafted scrotum stools are. For your scrotum? Yes.

One of my largest, and ever-most lavish rooms, now a hollowed out, soot blackened cavity. Every time I make my way through the hallway to the bathroom to flex my muscle fibers for the mirror, or lay a turd perchance, I can't help but smell the burnt oak from that corpse of a room. The door clings onto its frame just barely, like one of those Indian dudes who hang large weights from their balls; the lock probably sitting stagnant on the floor just a foot away. The only thing this door manages to do these days, is slam open and close the moment I open a window. It doesn’t bother me so much as it would for another person.

That room never could house me. I would spend hundreds of hours, trying to put the rug on the floor, the couch and coffee table on the rug, the TV in front of the table, and the bed in the far corner. I would bathe my sweat away and come back with the furniture sticking out the walls and standing on the ceiling. So, I would put the rug on the floor the couch and coffee table on the rug the TV in front of the table the bed in the far corner, and so on. I go to bathe away my bacteria infested sweat, once again, only to come back, to the fucking couch sticking out the TV. By the ten thousandth time, I decided to just give up and leave it be. A few weeks later I think there was some sort of electrical fire. I’m assuming the neglect fueled dust gathered enough to fuel it.

So here I am, now soliciting my impressive property, so I can build a real room. I think hints of laborious effort scares people away. But these nihilist infested dingbats just don’t get how enlightening it really is. I take that back, they aren’t dingbats. If they were, they wouldn’t be so damned trite.

Wallpaper for Wall: Why It’s the Ultimate Home Upgrade

Wallpapers for walls have become a game-changer in the world of home décor, offering a quick and stylish way to enhance your living space. With a myriad of designs, textures, and materials available, wallpaper serves as a versatile and impactful solution to elevate any room. Whether you’re revamping a single wall or redecorating your entire home, wallpaper is the ultimate home upgrade for both aesthetics and functionality. Let’s dive into why wallpaper is a must-have for your interiors.

The Versatility of Wallpaper

A Wide Range of Designs for Every Style

One of the standout features of wallpaper is its vast selection of patterns and colors. Whether you prefer floral prints, geometric shapes, or abstract art, there’s a design to match your taste. Wallpapers can mimic natural textures like wood, stone, or marble, providing a luxurious look without the hefty price tag.

Customizable Options for Personalization

If you’re looking for something unique, many brands offer customizable wallpapers. From murals to bespoke designs, these options allow you to infuse your personality into your home. Imagine a serene forest landscape in your bedroom or a vibrant cityscape in your study—the possibilities are endless.

Suitable for Different Rooms and Purposes

Wallpapers are no longer confined to living rooms and bedrooms. Modern materials make them suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and even balconies. Moisture-resistant options ensure durability in humid environments, making them a practical choice for any corner of your home.

The Aesthetic Appeal of Wallpaper

Adding Texture and Dimension to Walls

Unlike paint, which offers a flat finish, wallpaper brings texture and depth to your walls. Textured wallpapers, such as grasscloth or embossed patterns, can add a sophisticated touch to any room.

Making a Bold Statement or Subtle Elegance

Want to make a bold impression? Go for statement wallpapers with vibrant colors or intricate patterns. Prefer a more understated look? Neutral-toned wallpapers with subtle designs can exude elegance without overwhelming the space.

Elevating the Ambiance of Your Home

Wallpaper has the power to set the mood of a room. Use warm tones and soft patterns for a cozy vibe, or opt for sleek metallic finishes to create a modern, luxurious feel. The right wallpaper can transform an ordinary room into an extraordinary space

Durability and Maintenance

Long-Lasting Compared to Paint

Quality wallpaper can last up to 15 years, far outlasting paint, which often requires touch-ups or reapplication every few years. This longevity makes wallpaper a smart investment for homeowners.

Easy-to-Clean Options

Vinyl and other washable wallpapers are ideal for families with children or pets. A quick wipe with a damp cloth can keep your walls looking fresh and new, even in high-traffic areas.

Resilience in High-Traffic Areas

For spaces prone to wear and tear, such as hallways or children’s rooms, durable wallpapers are an excellent choice. They resist scratches and stains, ensuring your walls remain flawless.

Cost-Effectiveness of Wallpaper

Value for Money in the Long Run

While the upfront cost of wallpaper may seem higher than paint, its durability makes it a cost-effective solution in the long term. You won’t have to worry about frequent repainting, saving you both time and money.

Budget-Friendly Options for Every Home

Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of affordable wallpaper options available that don’t skimp on quality or style. From high-end luxury designs to economical choices, there’s something for every budget.

Eco-Friendly Benefits of Modern Wallpapers

Sustainable Materials Used in Production

Many modern wallpapers are made from eco-friendly materials, such as recycled paper or natural fibers. These options reduce your environmental footprint while adding beauty to your home.

Low Environmental Impact of Installation

Wallpaper installation generates minimal waste compared to painting, which often requires multiple coats and cleanup. Opting for eco-conscious brands can further reduce your impact on the planet.

Ease of Installation and Removal

Peel-and-Stick Wallpapers for Hassle-Free Use

Gone are the days when wallpaper installation was a messy, labor-intensive process. Peel-and-stick options have revolutionized the industry, making it easier than ever to upgrade your walls. Perfect for renters, these wallpapers are easy to apply and remove without damaging the surface.

Professional Installation for a Flawless Look

For intricate designs or large spaces, professional installation ensures a seamless finish. Experts can align patterns perfectly and avoid bubbles or wrinkles, giving your walls a polished appearance.

Damage-Free Removal

Unlike older wallpapers that were difficult to remove, modern options peel off cleanly. This makes them an excellent choice for temporary upgrades or seasonal redecorating.

Why Wallpaper is the Ultimate Home Upgrade

Instant Transformation with Minimal Effort

Wallpaper provides an instant makeover with little disruption to your daily life. Unlike extensive renovations, applying wallpaper is quick and hassle-free, delivering dramatic results in a short time.

Enhances Property Value and Aesthetic Appeal

A well-designed interior can significantly boost your home’s market value. Wallpaper adds a unique touch that sets your property apart, appealing to potential buyers or renters.

Colors determine the ambiance of a room. Soothing tones such as pastel blues, gentle greens, or neutrals may help create a peaceful atmosphere.

For tech-savvy individuals, smart devices like automated lights, a sound system, or a digital photo frame can elevate the room’s functionality. However, balance technology with a relaxing ambiance to maintain the calming essence of a bedroom.

9. Create a Focal Point :

Every great bedroom design has a focal point. For some, it’s the bed with an ornate headboard. For others, it could be an accent wall with bold wallpaper or a gallery wall showcasing personal achievements and artwork. Choose a feature that best reflects your personality and make it the highlight of your room.

10. Layer Textures for Depth :

Textures bring depth and character to your bedroom design. Use a mix of materials such as velvet, faux fur, leather, or natural fibers to create a layered and dynamic ambiance.

11. Organize with Style :

A clutter-free bedroom fosters relaxation. Choose storage solutions that are both functional and stylish:

Use decorative baskets for storing throws or books. Invest in a chic ottoman with hidden storage. Opt for modular wardrobes with customizable compartments.

An organized bedroom not only reflects a calm personality but also enhances the overall aesthetic.

12. Reflect Yourself Through Details :

It's the small details that leave the most lasting impression. Personalized touches like monogrammed pillows or a thoughtfully selected collection of books or records can beautifully tell your story. Enhance the ambiance by introducing a signature scent to your space with candles, essential oils, or diffusers that exude warmth and familiarity.

13. Keep It Flexible :

As you grow, your tastes and preferences might evolve. Choose elements that can be updated or replaced easily, like removable wallpaper, interchangeable cushion covers, or portable décor items. This flexibility allows your bedroom to adapt to your changing personality.

Conclusion :

Creating a bedroom that mirrors your personality is an inspiring journey of self-expression.

How to Maximize Space in a Small Bedroom with the Right Colors and Design

Small bedrooms can feel cozy, but they can also feel cramped if not styled properly. The good news? You can make your room feel bigger and brighter with the right color palette and design choices. Here are some simple, creative tips to maximize your space!

1. Go Light and Bright

Light colors are your best friend in a small space. Think soft whites, pastel blues, and neutral tones. These shades reflect light, making your room feel open and airy. Dark colors can close in a space, so save them for accents like throw pillows or artwork.

2. Add Texture with Grasscloth Wallpaper

Want to add depth and sophistication to your room without overwhelming it? Grasscloth wallpaper is a game-changer. Its natural fibers and subtle textures add character while keeping things light and breathable. Perfect for a feature wall or even the whole room. Check out some stunning options from Walls Republic’s Grasscloth Wallpaper Collection.

3. Mirrors, Mirrors, Mirrors

Mirrors are the ultimate hack for small spaces. They reflect light and create the illusion of more room. Hang a large mirror opposite your window to double the natural light, or lean a full-length mirror against a wall for a chic, functional touch.

4. Layer Your Lighting

A single overhead light can feel harsh. Layering your lighting—think string lights, bedside lamps, and soft LED strips—adds warmth and dimension. Soft, diffused light also enhances the open feel of lighter wall colors.

5. Embrace Minimalism

Clutter shrinks a room faster than anything else. Keep furniture simple and multi-functional. Beds with storage drawers, wall-mounted shelves, and foldable desks are lifesavers in small spaces.

6. Use Your Vertical Space

Think up, not out. Tall bookcases, hanging plants, or even vertical artwork draw the eye upward, giving your bedroom a sense of height. Pair this with a light wall color or a textured wallpaper accent for maximum impact.

By choosing the right colors and decor, you can make even the tiniest bedroom feel spacious and inviting. Start with soft hues, add some texture (like grasscloth wallpaper), and keep your styling minimal. You’ll be amazed at how a few thoughtful choices can transform your space.

Elevate Your Living Space: Must-Have Home Decor Trends

Transforming your home into a stylish and comfortable retreat is more accessible than ever with this year's must-have home decor trends. Each trend combines elegance and practicality, adding a unique flair to your space without sacrificing functionality. Let’s explore how you can integrate these exciting trends to give your home a refreshing update that reflects your style and adds warmth and character to every room.

1. Embracing Natural Elements: The Biophilic Design

One of the most influential trends in home decor is biophilic design, which centers around bringing natural elements into indoor spaces. This trend highlights the use of natural materials like wood, stone, and clay, creating an earthy atmosphere that promotes wellness and reduces stress. Incorporating biophilic elements can be as simple as adding a few plants, but for a more dramatic effect, consider furniture and decor pieces that feature natural textures.

Natural Wood Accents: Use reclaimed or sustainably sourced wood for a more eco-friendly option. Exposed wood beams, wooden coffee tables, and even wood-framed mirrors can bring warmth to any space.

Indoor Greenery: Houseplants like fiddle leaf figs, snake plants, and monstera are popular for their low-maintenance care and ability to purify air. Arrange these in ceramic or terracotta pots to keep the natural aesthetic cohesive.

Stone and Marble Touches: Stone accents, whether on countertops, vases, or side tables, bring a unique texture and elegance.

2. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Choices

Sustainability is no longer an afterthought in home decor—it's a priority. Many brands and designers are creating pieces that reduce environmental impact without compromising style. By choosing eco-friendly decor, you contribute to environmental conservation while giving your home a unique, modern appeal.

Sustainable Furniture: Look for furniture made from recycled or repurposed materials, like bamboo, reclaimed wood, and recycled metals.

Organic Textiles: Natural fibers like organic cotton, linen, and jute are becoming popular for throws, cushions, and rugs. These textiles not only reduce environmental impact but also bring a soft, cozy touch.

Energy-Efficient Lighting: LED lighting options have advanced significantly, offering warm, stylish lighting that reduces energy consumption. Look for light fixtures with timeless designs to ensure longevity.

3. Maximalist Color Schemes: Bold and Vibrant

While minimalist decor remains popular, maximalism is making a strong comeback, especially with bold colors and daring patterns. Embracing maximalism means stepping out of neutral territory and playing with color to make a statement. Here’s how you can integrate this eye-catching style into your home:

Accent Walls in Bold Colors: Paint a single wall in a bold shade, such as teal, emerald green, or deep maroon, to create a striking focal point.

Statement Art Pieces: Add oversized artwork with bold, vibrant colors to infuse personality into your space.

Patterned Textiles and Wallpapers: Mix and match patterned rugs, curtains, and cushions. Florals, geometric shapes, and eclectic prints bring life to any room and reflect a sense of personality.

4. Multi-Functional Spaces for Modern Living

With many people working from home, multi-functional spaces are a necessity. Combining form and function is essential for spaces that can serve multiple purposes, from workstations to relaxation zones. Designing a home that adapts to various needs enhances the comfort and usability of every corner.

Flexible Furniture: Choose furniture that can be rearranged easily or serves multiple functions, such as foldable desks, extendable dining tables, or sofas with built-in storage.

Room Dividers: Use stylish room dividers, such as folding screens or bookshelves, to separate different zones within a room without needing extra walls.

Convertible Spaces: Think about installing wall-mounted desks, Murphy beds, or convertible sofas to create a multifunctional room that can easily transition from one use to another.

5. Curved and Organic Shapes: A Softer Aesthetic

Curved lines and organic shapes are gaining popularity as they bring a sense of softness and elegance to interiors. This trend, inspired by natural forms, deviates from sharp, geometric shapes, giving spaces a calming and approachable vibe.

Curved Sofas and Armchairs: Rounded sofas and chairs add a touch of sophistication and create a more inviting seating area.

Arched Mirrors and Windows: Arched mirrors make rooms feel larger and more open, while arched windows add architectural interest.

Flowing Patterns in Decor Items: Choose decor pieces like vases, lamps, and rugs that have soft, flowing lines rather than sharp angles.

6. Smart Home Technology for Seamless Living

Modern smart home technology is revolutionizing interior spaces by making daily routines more convenient and efficient. Integrating technology into your decor doesn’t mean sacrificing aesthetics. Many smart devices are now designed to blend seamlessly with stylish interiors.

Voice-Controlled Lighting and Thermostats: Control your lighting and temperature with a simple voice command or mobile app.

Smart Security Systems: Advanced security systems with cameras, smart locks, and door sensors enhance safety while remaining discreet.

Automated Shades and Blinds: Motorized blinds can be adjusted remotely, offering convenience and an ultra-modern look that’s especially valuable for larger homes or high-rise apartments.

7. Vintage and Retro Accents for Nostalgic Charm

Retro-inspired pieces are making a comeback, adding a nostalgic charm to modern spaces. Incorporating vintage decor not only adds unique character but also serves as a sustainable choice, as upcycling old items prevents waste.

Mid-Century Modern Furniture: Sleek, clean-lined furniture from the 1950s and 1960s brings a timeless elegance to modern spaces. Look for walnut wood pieces, tapered legs, and minimalist designs.

Antique Decor and Accessories: Consider adding vintage mirrors, brass candle holders, or old-fashioned wall clocks for a touch of old-world charm.

Second-Hand Finds: Thrift stores and flea markets are treasure troves for vintage items that can add personality without the price tag of new furniture.

8. Layered Lighting for Depth and Atmosphere

The concept of layered lighting involves using multiple light sources to create depth, warmth, and ambiance in a room. This approach is especially useful in spaces where functionality and mood are both essential.

Ambient Lighting: Ceiling lights or chandeliers provide general illumination, setting the foundation of the room’s lighting.

Task Lighting: Place table lamps, reading lights, or under-cabinet lighting in areas where you need focused lighting.

Accent Lighting: Use accent lighting like LED strips under shelves, picture lights, or wall sconces to highlight decor and create a cozy atmosphere.

9. Personalization and DIY Decor

Adding a personal touch to your decor with DIY projects or unique finds creates a home that feels truly yours, especially when incorporating home decor accessories in Australia. Whether it’s creating a gallery wall with personal photos, painting a mural, or making your own decor pieces, personalized elements make a space feel warmer and more inviting.

In Australia, you can find an array of home decor accessories that reflect the local culture and environment. From handcrafted items that showcase Australian artistry to unique trinkets sourced from local markets, these accessories can enhance your home’s character. Integrating these home decor accessories into your DIY projects not only adds individuality but also connects your space to the vibrant Australian lifestyle.

By thoughtfully selecting and incorporating home decor accessories Australia offers, you can transform your living space into a true reflection of your personality and style.

Gallery Walls: Arrange framed photographs, artwork, and memorabilia to tell your personal story. Consider mixing different frame sizes and colors for added interest.

Handmade Decor Items: Handmade pottery, woven baskets, or macramé wall hangings are stylish yet meaningful additions to any room.

Custom Paint Jobs and Murals: If you enjoy painting, consider creating an accent wall with a custom design or mural that showcases your creativity.

10. Minimalist Zen Spaces for a Calming Environment

In a world filled with hustle and bustle, creating a minimalist Zen space in your home provides a peaceful retreat. Minimalist decor emphasizes simplicity, functionality, and the elimination of clutter.

Neutral Color Palettes: Use shades like beige, white, and soft gray to create a calm, balanced environment.

Decluttered Surfaces: Keep surfaces clear and uncluttered. Consider built-in storage solutions to hide excess items.

Simple and Clean Lines: Choose furniture with clean lines and minimal ornamentation. Accessories should be functional and add to the serene aesthetic.

These home decor trends enable you to transform your space into a haven that is both stylish and comfortable.
