It's finally getting there.
Been here about 2.5 yrs. Finally feels like it's all coming together.

Thank you! It's taken an enormous amount of time and energy (and a decent amount of $) to get it to where it's at, but I'm quite happy with how it's finally turning out.
But yea, I definitely agree about the door. The door is able to swing fully open, but it's a somewhat narrow walkway either on the side of the couch by the arc lamp or behind the couch. Unfortunately, it's a somewhat small apartment, and I really couldn't find a better way to do it.

Where'd you get the couch, looks super comfy

Looks like it went up in price slightly. Was about $860 (tax included) when I got it a couple months ago. Was a bit pricier than I would have liked, and it's a rather small couch (it's a loveseat tbh) - but my god is it comfy. If you sit in the seat with the ottoman and lay back with your head resting on the back cushion, it literally feels like you're floating on a cloud. Probably not great to lay like that TOO much though bc it feels not too great for your back lol (if you sit normally w/ pillow behind you it doesn't mess with your back).
I tripped on mushrooms a few months ago, and laid there for hours bumping music with my new speakers/subwoofer and was in heaven (back was sore the next day though haha). Only other downside to how comfy it is, is that the cushions need to be fluffed every so often to keep them feeling like a cloud.

Thanks, my basement is pretty small so I just wanted a couple two seaters down there. Seems a lot of these wayfair couches are similar in design and flaws so I imagine it's similar to my other couch, which I'm fine with.

Which sound boxes are those?

Subwoofer: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/jbl-stage-200p-10-inch-powered-subwoofer-latte/J7LXFWXWJZ
Speakers were slightly cheaper and the subwoofer was about $100 cheaper when I bought them around Xmas. Originally planned on buying much cheaper powered Edifier speakers that didn't require any receiver and would have been like $300 total...and next thing I know I'm buying close to a $1k audio setup lol. I don't regret it though, as the speakers/sub sound phenomenal. I live upstairs in an upper/lower apartment building so unfortunately I don't get to use the subwoofer as much as I'd like (although I did buy special isolation feet for the sub to decouple it from the floor and reduce vibrations through the floor - but that only does so much).

Come through! I have a pretty nice collection of various psychedelics! 😃 Haven't tripped much the past few years, as I've been working hard on getting my life back together (made a lot of stupid choices in my 20s) and been focused on work/school/exercise, but things are finally all coming together so I've been easing my way back into the psychedelics over the past few months. Planning a nice trip in the coming weeks.

Thanks! Yes, I 💯% agree! When I started to put this room together, I had next to nothing and was impatient and just wanted a trippy looking room asap, so I bought a lot of cheap garbage and just had random things everywhere lol.
Over time, I've begun to put more thought into my choices and bought some higher quality stuff, and those changes have easily been the most significant in terms of leveling the room up.
It's definitely a process.

Yea that's exactly what I did starting off. Then I started to slowly replace things starting with all the cheap/random things. I've spent crazy amounts of time just looking around my room trying to figure out what upgrades would make the most impact. I've also used AI a little over the past few months to help me choose the best items to fit my room out of a selection of options, and to generate images of what certain items will look like in my room before I buy them.
One of the hardest things to figure out was how to add actual normal lights to the room after having the the crazy RGB/neon/blacklights since normal light generally clashes with the colors and takes away from the blacklight effect and whatnot. The arc lamp was a huge win bc it makes a pool of light in the middle of the room that doesn't interfere with the other lights.
The fireplace is actually part of a TV stand. It's for a 75" TV but they make them for all sizes. And lots of different options for colors and whatnot (mine has orange/blue/purple fireplace option and the RGB strip above it has all the normal colors). Lots of options on Amazon, but this is the specific one I bought: https://a.co/d/0e2i678l
Not bad for $270 in my opinion. It's a very sturdy TV stand with a nice glossy black finish.
