I'll soon be moving into a new little flat and am currently collecting ideas on how to do the interior decoration. I want the rooms to have a futuristic, scifi-ish or techy ambiance, and am currently collecting ideas on that.
So, anyone got any tips to share? Preferable ones that aren't too expensive to realise.
RGB LED bulbs / lighting strips. They've been getting more affordable lately. Try to hide the light source from direct view when possible, that tends to give a clean modern look.
Agreed. It's probably best to use indirect lighting everywhere, since that will provide the most homogeneous light presence in the entire room.
-Do not use furniture with wood finish, find something glossy or buy a lot of vinyl self-adhesive foil and cover everything (it would be hard to do nicely)
-Obviously no carpets or wooden floors. Cover floors with plexiglass and install lights under the plexy tiles.
-You can round all room edges and corners with gypsum or other methods. The bigger the rounding radius the better.
-Make a custom table and build a keyboard, wireless phone charger, usb hub and the rest in it. Print on a table-sized foil some geometric shapes... if you make that table out of plexy you can also light it from underneath and make it look like some spaceship control table
Sounds kinda expensive, but good ideas, thanks
How about Retro-futurism Art Deco? Chrome, boxy, Nixie Tubes, etc
We're kinda already in the future from those perspectives and we haven't had a new sci-fi sub-genre since Cyberpunk in the 1980's and Cyperpunk is pretty much now, Watchdogs could be going on right now and Shadowrun and Human Revolution is within our lifetime.
This is a good watch on the subject:
I had this idea for my Tech Den from Hell, where I implanted a NFC tag in one of my buttcheeks, & whenever I sat at my workbench, it will lit up thx to a hidden LED strip/recycled lcd backlit underneath. I was too thinking about implementing an automated flush system in my toilet that would rely on the implant (Inspired by Japanese toilets haha). Automation + Butt Biohacking = Future, IMO.
