Futuristic or Spaceship interior for the home.?

Question

I admit I'm into Science Fiction and I want to give the inside of my house a futuristic or spaceship type of look for the interior of my house. Does anyone recommend a website or have any other good advice?

Answer 1

I watch the house channel on TV.  I saw some people that were having quite a bit of their home done over with steel and glass.  Looked awesome.  It was a soft brushed steel look that they used but I am sure that you can get any type you wish.  The glass they had a coppery speckle on it and then a dark bronze background paint behind the speckles.  Looked good as well.

Answer 2

futuristic silver and chrome furnishings

Answer 5

I think what you're looking for is an ultra sleek contemporary look. It will depend on very clean lines to the furniture and metallic or otherwise techno feeling materials like chrome, formica etc. It doesn't have to be devoid of color but I would have the major anchor pieces in black or grey. Lots of chrome or silver in sleek geometric lines, too--for the lamps etc. Avoid anything traditional like an ordinary lampshade shape. Get a round globe lamp on a silver base, instead.

You're lucky because many of the table lamps, fixtures, and furniture available today would serve your needs. Of course this look allows for zero clutter and knick knacks on the surfaces.

Oddly enough, since this kind of decor is so severe, the addition of a large deep shag or flokati area rug in white for the living room can soften the effect and still not ruin the look. You can also punch things up with brightly colored throw pillows in a variety of geometric shapes on the sofa (triangle, round, and square). It's somewhat of a Jetson's retro modern look. Very cool if it's done correctly.

Good luck!! : )

Edit: Mack just gave me an idea. You could make your own low sleek coffee table by getting a 4 or 5 foot length of black formica straight edge counter stock (no attached backsplash and no bullnose edge). Get extra trim pieces to cover the raw edges. Then you could build a base out of glass blocks, using black or white mortar. That would be awesome with a big low silver dish on it in a triangular shape. Wow!!
