^^ see that's what i'm talking about. funky. women seem to love funky.
eclecticism will win at the end of the day, i know, in spite of my demands for spartan environs and a functional space.
i draw this diagram. i should photograph & share. but i'm more into the inspiration seeking than instructions, so i don't know.

ANYWAY YOU ALL RULE. THIS THREAD IS LOTS OF FUN TO READ. THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS.

It is fascinating, that process - like the cushions argument. I don't know if everyone who's lived with a partner/ person of the opposite sex has had this, but I have. Cushions. There's no fucking point. They're annoying, unless you're at the age where you're beset by back problems. No-one uses a cushion. Most chaps wouldn't have them; most women have them and don't use them. The Bauhaus appeals to chaps because there's no faff (flack, flotsam etc); women like the faff. Perhaps men see spaces as functional entities, or rather, express themselves in their territory by means of how 'organised' they are (hence no faff); women see them as a space for personal identity, a canvas for the self.
Or am I being borderline misogynist?
