Ideal Room

I’m a simple man. I don’t like lavish furnishings, useless aesthetics, or unreasonably expensive mahogany tables. The name of the game is efficiency in comfort. The room is fairly compact: six by eight feet is perfect. Many will point out that it’s the same size as a prison cell. That may be true, but it’s my prison cell.

A bed sits at one end of the room. A standard twin sized bed is great, with a very comfortable semi-firm mattress. Large beds aren’t nice – they take up too much space, and tend to make people feel extraordinarily lazy. When you only have 24 hours in a day, lethargy in bed shouldn’t take up a significant portion of it.

Directly across from my bed will be a corner desk, positioned perfectly such that I can topple right into my bed from my chair whenever I want. A no-expenses spared speaker system will be ready for usage anytime, in addition to a 20” monitor stands in the center of the desk. Binders storing ideas for the next big thing will be filed neatly along the side, and a couple of small objects of sentimental value will dot the desk space beside it.

Beside this desk is a shelf of books and other paraphernalia I’ve deemed interesting, in addition to a mini-fridge chock full of enjoyable drinks and foods. A coffee-maker and hot water boiler will be there as well, in case I need a boost to whatever it is I’m doing. In essence, i don't want a uselessly lavish private chamber, I just want a den that I'm comfortable in.
