One of the things many simmers find it devilishly hard to do is decorating those spare, often small and oddly shaped rooms in a house. Whether its a hallway, a bathroom or a walk-in closet, it can be a real challenge to make them look like part of the design and not just an afterthought.
Lets see how interesting we can make odd rooms by focusing solely on them in the design.
The Task
Roll a six-sided di to determine which room you will be decorating. You can find an online dice roller HERE. Or, if you don't trust yourself to stick with what you roll, you can ask one of us to roll for you.
The Rooms
1 - Bathroom
2 - Walk-in closet
3 - Upstairs hallway/landing
4 - Craft Room
5 - Laundry Room
6 - Butler's Pantry
The Layouts:
The Rules
- Max 5 pictures per entry. You may link to more in an album
- You can decorate the areas leading to the room, but the focus of the pictures should be on selected room itself.
- Please show a layout shot from overhead, so we can see how you layouted the room.
- Pictures may be no more then 800 pixel wide
- State which game you are using. TS2, TS3, TS4
- Have fun: Remember this is a challenge not a contest
- The forum's Challenge & Contest Rules also apply
Remember to add
in your post if you want detailed feedback on what works and what doesn't.
This challenge will close: March 28th

cari4003 That is beautiful! I'm in love with the metallic gold on the walls. That with the mint chairs and the little pouf make me think 1920s glam, which I love. The triptych painting being darker kind of breaks up the lights nicely while still incorporating all the basic colors of the room and ties in the little table quite well with everything else!

ThatAtlasChick Oh no! The horrendously evil bathroom! I think you did great with it though. The colors are very nice and interesting, not the "normal" bathroom colors you'd usually see but they still work! All the candles look very cozy. I'd just be afraid my neighbor's going to peek at me in the bath with those windows, haha!
*rolls dice*
OMG NOOOOOOOO I got the dreaded bathroom as well! Crud. I'll be back later with one maybe. I was hoping for the butler's pantry xD I have so much food clutter and I get the darn bathroom. EVIL I tell ya!

ThatAtlasChick - I think you did a good job with the bathroom. I really like the worn brick walls, and the candles add a nice atmosphere.
cari4003 - I love the way you used that darling table to pull your decor colors from. It's a cozy and inviting area. Good job.

Oh dear I got the laundry room, but I love how you've done that bathroom ThatAtlas and your upstairs landing is very glamorous Cari. I was dreading the bathroom but I've never done a laundry room in Sims 4 as there's not functioning washing machine.

Welcome back Zingaro! Great job, as always. I like the soft yellow walls and counters. And lots of room for folding is always a plus!
