black futon
So I am re-doing my room and I am for sure putting black lights in. I’m just wondering what color walls I should have. I’m also using a futon for my bed, so what type of bedding? If you could.. Give some links to pictures so I can get an exact idea of what you mean.
Here is something to think about while you’re answering….
I am considered emo, and I like that type of style..
Thanks for your help
White will glow when you turn on a black light!

sofa futon
Okay any ideas on what type of sofa I could possibly buy to fit into my new home. My doorway is narrow. It measure approx. 28" across and 67" for height. Only thing I could come up with were this: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5391312 or something from Ikea or maybe a futon.
Serious Inquiries Only
I saw a show on tv where they had furniture made for apartment living that all came in pieces so it was easy to transport…. I haven't found that site, but here are some…the one I am thinking of even had storage built in beneath seats of chairs and in ottomans.
I had to cut off the legs of my sofa once, and we put in big two way screws…on into the sofa, and drilled a hole so we could screw the legs back on….the sofa still lasted another 10 years.

futons
I live in the U.S. and I was wondering where I could buy a japanese-style futon. I would do a search, but I know that all that would turn up is the couchy things that westerners call futons. So does anyone know?
I found some at dukaru.homestead.com but they're so expensive! When I was in Japan they sold whole futon sets for about 10,000 yen. (90~100 USD)
craigslist.org
select your city and I am sure you will find at least one futon

sofas
I am looking for modern sofas but so far, no good: Whether too expensive (for my budget of $1000-1500 including delivery) or too… well… cheap looking.
Hi, Kelli and Lucky. And thank you for the feedback. I too had the feeling that I may not find what I want for less than 1500-2000…
Looks like E-BAY`-Little frenchie`? mon mermaid`?

sofa furniture
I just bought a new living room set. Sofa, love seat and chair pictured here: http://www.globalfurnitureusa.com/popup.php?id=1147&cat_id=6&page=&contain_id=1
I would have preferred brown leather pieces, but I got a great deal on the black set. My furniture is an expresso finish. I've seen this paired with black leather in other furniture (chairs and bar stools) and have seen a similar table paired with a black leather set and a rust colored carpet, so I know they can worh together, but dont know how best to "marry" the brown and black pieces. I'm guessing I should use throws and pillows, but not sure what colors would be best.
The sofa, loveseat and chair are black leather. Furniture is expresso. Walls are eggshell white. Carpeting is a taupe. (this is a rental so I'd prefer not to paint the walls)
What colors would be a good choice? Any suggestions where I can buy the throws and pillows?
Just to clarify the brown expresso furniture that I'm referring isn't another couch or chair. The expresso pieces are wooden side tables, coffee table, and a tv stand.
i think you have lots of choices with throws, candles, lamps, pillows etc. depending on the look you are trying to achieve. Red , rust, or orange would make a dramatic statement; or you could stick with a more mellow monochromatic theme and use beige and brown accents. Bright aquamarine could also work. Just experiment and see what suits you best.
