<div class="IPBDescription">Lit completely with...</div> RGB colour changing Light Emitting Diodes. Looks very funky. Could this be the way forward?

    The bathroom looks neat. But the rest of the house is just god awful TACKY. It looks so barren and cold. I don't think I'd like to live in a house like that just yet :/.

    I don't know WHO picked that couch but they should be locked away somewhere for 5-10 years. Maximum security. First of all it doesn't go with anything in the living room. Second of all it's STRIPED! BLECH! A white leather sofa would look much better.

    The bedroom, I could take or leave. As of now I spend alot of time in my room but that's only because that's where the computer is located and I don't watch TV. But if it were my house the computer wouldn't be in the bedroom so, that's a no go. Too empty.

    But the bathroom. That's nice. I think a bathroom should look very minimal and sterile which that accomplishes in the fullest ammount possible.

    haha, why don't you join the trading spaces team @gentOrange? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Seriosly though DuBERS I would get headaches if I lived there, the lighting is just too screwy. Its pretty ugly how it comes up out of holes in the carpet too. Maby if it was in white, and they found a way to do without the screwy carpet holes...

    I think the point is it's fully customizable to your needs and the design of your house so there are probably endless possiblilites.

    Orange, that's spartan contemporary for you.


    I'd get my rooms lit with infrared lighting only and walk around with goggles on <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    D'no. It's an interesting idea, but I don't particularly like this particular application of it. Also, it could have various other unforseen side effects, such as making colours all screwy, killing house plants (if you heavily use green lighting), and... well, getting old. D'no... maybe infernal red lighting in the toilet or something <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    i cant see that catching on within 10 years, it does look tacky!
    looks more suited to a club than a house...

    still, im assuming the colours change? (the vids links are broken)
    could be quite cool if you can turn it down a bit!

    as for furniture.... they put bar stools round a grand piano!?? ...what?!!

    Looks kool to me. As long as the lighting isn't to bright I could live with it.

    That's pretty awesome. If you could, I'd have light settings for different moods and games. Playing NS? Half the lights are off, others are a dark blue... and one dull orange one's flickering in the corner.

    Make them glow in the shape of an onos on the carpet. Yea that's what I'm talking about.

    I like the lights as they are but then again purple always has been my colour ^^

    Ugh.. I hate the kitchen. Looks too glitzy, but then I tend to dislike brushed metal anyway. Just looks like something you'd find in a Vegas penthouse. Most of the rest looked passing-decent (except that ugly couch) until I saw the kitchen, then started hating it.

    Oh my god, you could be such a pimp in that house! Hooray!

    Although to be honest, the idea of using a piano as a <i>table</i> irritates me somewhat.

    Piano for a table? I missed that. The sinks in the bathroom would have to go.

    OMG MAH EYES! THEY R TEH BAH LEED!

    In reality that would be an eyesore....what would happen if those get pointed at your eyes? Not pretty since youcould get disoriented. Hotspot would be the kitchen <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Now if they paint the walls black and makes all the lights are dark purple...<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
