THE FREZZA CHRISTMAS ROOM:

Just in time for the last minute holiday decorator.

Multi-Animated pieces in this set include the fireplace, sofa and armchair. These chairs not only rezzes props but on certain animations will deliver an item to your inventory so you can attach and use. Go ahead and try out the “phone” and “sing” animations.

Pillows, throw, the tin elves and the lacquered tray are texture changeable making it ever so easy to customize any space.

Then we have the Frezza Living Room whose pieces supports the same features as the Christmas room. (Please note the fireplace in this room is not animated.)

Sofas are available @ the store in a variety of colors.

Add a touch of vintage to any room with these Bus Scrolls, lots more cities to come.

Sideboards come in so handy, where else will you put your keys, frames, old magazines, trays, utensils, bags and if you have space maybe a lamp or two.

Speaking of Lamps…

So now on to the good stuff, the following five Lofty Spaces group members should send me a note card with their choice of a room and a pair of lamps.

First challenge up – Open Spaces. We’ve all been there. You spend hours TP-ing all over the grid to find your perfect prefab. You get home, excited to rezz it and place it just right. You walk inside, cam around at the larger than life rooms… then stand there…for days. After awhile, it just becomes a place for you to TP to when you need to change clothes or im your friends while you wait for inspiration to strike.  Large, airy rooms are pretty common in-world, usually to allow for unobstructed camera movement. Decorating these rooms can be a huge pain.  We used the Eams Modern House by NotsoBad to show  how to handle the most common areas: living room & bedroom.

When confronted with a large room or an open space it is always  a good idea to just break the space up into smaller activity areas and you can use dividers, bookshelves, or rugs to help define these spaces. We created the main living area in the center of the room and decided not to settle with the standard formula of one sofa two armchairs etc. Doubling up in the seating makes proper use of all the space we have available while we tied it all together with different textures/fabrics  using the color orange and grounding the area with a great rug.  Two small sitting areas at the back of the room were placed to offer different experiences. The far left offers a sense of solitude with the use of the chaise lounge while on the right the club chairs provide a more intimate seating area which encourages conversation.

For the bedroom, we created some architectural interest as well as a focal point by adding a wall to serve as backdrop for the bed. Don’t be afraid to add or remove walls to fit your design needs! A rug was placed at the end of the bed instead of halfway under it, so we can extend the area thus utilizing more of the space.

Well, that’s it for the first edition of Lofty Spaces. We will be back soon with another interior design pain we’ll have the cure for.  Til next time!
