househunting:

CSDs need a few things to be Full On CSD:

– One to three colors. EVERYTHING will be this color. Your carpet. Your walls. Your pillows. Your desk. CSD spares nothing when it comes to monochromatic decor.

– Strictly one pattern. What’s it going to be – plaid? Floral? a rainbow motif? You have so many options. Pick carefully, because it’s going to be all over the place. Your drapes. Your bedspread. Maybe even a chair.

– Carpet. Everywhere. Sorry, you don’t have a choice. Yes, this means the en suite bathroom too.

– Moody ass lighting. You have to keep it dim because it’s sexy, but also maybe because you are afraid of the monochrome. Does it really matter? No.

– Some kind of weird, loungey, made-for-orgies giant piece of furniture made for sitting.

Next I will give you some CSD Extreme Inspiration, and then we will move on to a more livable, slightly more modern version of CSD.

LOVE IT. Every bit of it. Even the carpeted bathrooms – I just can’t hate them. 

Think of the above rooms as Paris Fashion Week, and think of the images below as a midend retailer that’s received the trickle down effects of fast fashion.

I think these are great workable ways to have your very own CSD.

You definitely need a big, shaggy rug. The higher pile the better. I didn’t know I needed this until now and now I am terrified my house might spontaneously combust into a CSD. 

Your window treatments need to match your rug. In fact, they should match everything else, so you might as well buy a few dozen yards of your favorite oppressively patterned upholstery fabric and make curtains, bedskirts, and pillow shams. 

You could also pick a motif like rainbow and just go with that. I actually found a bedspread very similar to the one in the post here! It’s really cute and would work in normal rooms, not just CSDs. You could pair it with this rug if you wanted it to be more of a modern, toned down CSD tho. 

You need a swag lamp. I have one because I ripped it off the wall at an estate sale. It was not for sale. They gave it to me anyway. 

You need some chunky plastic furniture. I like this shelf set and this chair (talk me out of buying this for real tho).  If you get them in your motif color that’s even better, but white or clear are perfectly acceptable. 

You need mood lighting, because your swag lamp is not enough. I like this weird set too much. 

You need mirrors! Everywhere! To do cocaine off of! To view your orgy from all angels! I really like this one! 

CSDs are very diverse. You could have a bohemian CSD, a minimalist CSD, a gothic CSD….anything your heart desires. My fav is the classic, maximalist, monochromatic CSD. I hope this helps!
