I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for inexpensive tapestries or large wall hangings? looking for something cloth so I can easily hang it without damaging a rental's walls. The biggest issues i'm running into are that many tapestries can be very busy color or design wise (e.g. mandalas & tie dye don't really match my camming aesthetic) and I need one preferably over 80in wide. I'm going to have a couch covering roughly 3 feet of the bottom portion (floor up the wall) and roughly 6ft across (length of my camming couch), so having a design that can be cut off and not look choppy or confusing with a chunk missing would be awesome.
Any suggestions?

Since I was looking for a way to not ruin my apartament with renovations, I came across this idea, seeing it at another model. Canvas room divider https://www.amazon.com/s?k=canvas+room+dividers+and+folding+privacy+scree ns&crid=277JQZJ9GT703&sprefix=room+divider+screens+canvas%2Caps%2C246&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_27
or here: https://www.roomdividers.com/materials-canvas.html (i know you don't want something busy looking, this site gives the option to go with a personalized print/ choose simple color, if you want)
There you go :))))
I like those new style canvas room dividers, because are coming in all kind of designs!! And basically, you're folding it and you can cam from everywhere. If they are not wide enough, even tho, some can go in 8 panels lengh, you can always buy 2 and put them togheter.
I hope it helps and also, maybe you find a local site with more options, if you like the idea of room dividers.

Curtain turned sideways. I have two gray curtains turned sideways that cover my entire window that way. Both of my windows. They are heavy blackout curtains and appealing to the eyes.

I love room dividers.
Thrift stores usually have them.
I found mine on Craigslist, so you might want to check there too.

Bumping this thread :)
Lol i still haven't decorated that cam room. ugh! Wish I could throw like $100 at someone and have them do it for me.
Not exactly decor, but I did put up some removable hooks in my regular cam room just out of view of the cam that store all of the spare cords for my phones, tablet, tip vibes, & other wireless gear. It has been a HUGE life saver so far as organization, was super easy to put up, and I no longer scramble to find chargers for various items! I used these, (https://www.amazon.com/Command-2-packages-Decorate-Damage-Free-17092CLR-6ES/dp/B00HCQZK78?ref_=ast_sto_dp) as they are a bit bigger and can hold multiple cords with ease.

Anyone got advice for people with popcorn walls?
Older post but I’ll still reply. Maybe something like cd towers, or a bookcase (maybe put things like a couple pairs of sexy heels, toys etc on it), or a tall long mirror to lean against the wall. Tall things to kill the vertical space, like those palm tree type plants or a floor lamp. Side table with something large on it (statue/figure/plant or tall table lamp). Large fancy headboards (I’ve seen on sites you can order just a headboard and attach it). See if 3M removable hooks work on popcorn and maybe hang something on the lighter side like a macrame piece. :)

Not decor but: I used those to hang 1 of the 'back of door' hanging shoe holders and 1 jewellery holders it is like clear plastic then I made labels on top of each pocket. 1 cord per pocket. Works well to keep all my cords organized

I personally like overstock quite a bit for actual furniture. everything that i've received from them has been pretty decent quality, especially given the price. Amazon is so hit or miss for me.

I just got myself (actually a few months ago, but I didn't use it yet) a canvas room divider. Now I finally reorganized the bedroom (who knew that moving the dresser and turning it around on the opposite wall, will make my bedroom so much bigger!!) and I have a bigger corner where I'll place the room divider and I will buy an elegant sofa chair+ an elegant nightstand and that's gonna be my corner, till I'll have a proper work room (hoping to move in a bigger home soon). I ain't got no mood to find a way to cover the radiator pipes, or paint the walls, or put paintings or whatever, to make it look nice. The room divider was a convenient and perfect option and it's perfect to cam in any kind of odd, old or dated space. The price was around $200, because it's pretty high quality.
I got something simmilar to this (for those who need ideas). There are room dividers with 3 or 5 panels. I have a 5 panel one, like the one in the first picture and it's pretty big, enough to cover a corner. If you need some extra, or the model you like it's only with 3 panels, you can always buy 2 and stick em togheter:

This is pretty much my short term goal for my cam/ bedroom. It's big enough of a space to organize is a much more effective/attractive space. I'm just putting off organizing all my cam stuff. Great job getting it done! I bet it looks amazing

I still can't find a set up that allows for me to be in a desk chair MOST of the time with a stationary desk. I'm giving up. I think I need 2 set ups - one for when I'm editing videos/admin work and 1 for when I'm doing shows/streaming. I seriously can't find one that works for both. Bedroom set ups really hurt my back. Plus being on a bed for a long time gives me rug burn on my elbows and knees :(.

I work with a desk and a boudoir chest on wheels. I have one room that I use both for camshows and gaming. One wall is decorated for Camming and then the other is for Twitch. Because everything is on wheels I can change the angles all at once. You can try this out when going from freechat to a paid show. Articulated camera mounts are great too! You just move the camera.

I am legit in the process of doing this right now!
Half of my cam room is painted black, the other half I still need to paint cream colored.
Dark side of the room: Black walls/bedding/pink accent light - DSLR cam ONLY because my C922 HATES all the black. No softboxes - mood lighting x1000 LOL
Light Side of the room: I still need to paint 2 walls white - window open for natural light during day and i bought a Serta futon in light grey (will be here Saturday!), white dresser, accent blanket in white - blue or red accent pillows/lights depending on mood - a few plants... nice side table and tall white dresser. Can use C922 on that side :)1 soft box.
I cannot WAIT to get the other half set up!
50" TV, laptop and extra key-lighting on slide-able desk so I just need to slide the desk where I need it!

I would love to do this with mine! But my room is 3m x 3m and tiny :( i got rid of the bed for more video filming space. Currently one wall is dark blue/black as i ran out of paint and I'm trying to decide wether to keep the other wall light or go ahead and do that the same colour. I can switch things around for filming as my entire set up is now on a stand on wheels! But i will be camming from my new desktop which is staying put in one place so i dunno what to do really. I have no plants or homely touches now just practical lighting for the bokeh effect. I wish our rooms were as big as in your US houses!!!!!

The most helpful change ive made so far for cam room stuff is getting coloured lighting. I got a coloured bulb from Amazon which has the option of normal lighting too so you can have the best of both worlds, it helps make pictures more interesting imo. Then the other day I brought strap lighting from Amazon, would include link but it won't let me, they were £17.
I don't know how good they are for rental properties etc but it's nothing a paint job won't cover when you do take them off. They're so effective in both night lighting and day lighting, super easy to set up and can be put anywhere. Included some of my rubbish more SFW pics for reference.
Something else small that can make a big impact is bedding that compliments image you want to portray and a feature wall.

I agree with the beddings. White, simple bed set with colored small pillows are the best for a cheap and clean appearence!

Anyone use a daybed that they like?
I need an extra firm mattress too if anyone has any they've bought and like.
I've cammed on two different beds in my home. OF COURSE my expensive Tempurpedic Firm mattress works the best (just I want to set up in my cam room not my bedroom for many many reasons.)

Where does everyone get their BEAUTIFUL lamps from ? I always peep in and out of cam rooms to see what everyone is decorated like and I always see these nice wallpapers, privacy screens that look hand carved, giant ornate mirrors and fancy lamps. Do you all just blow $600 to have nice lamps ?

Check out the Pier 1 closest to you. They're shutting down their doors for good in about a week. Everything is discounted. I mostly buy things second hand and then make it ornate. Vintage lamps with modern shades, gold spray paint on wooden mirror frames. You can glue fluer di lis type shapes to frames before you paint it. It makes it look gilded. I use wallpaper decals for the rest of the house. When you get sick of it, you can peel it off nice and easy. I got mine on Wayfair and Etsy.

Ya my pier 1 closed last year :( Awesome ideas thanks for your help !! New lamps are ridiculous just to find something large sized and OK looking is $100 and up. Seems common for a pretty lamp to be $300 every site I check. Time to go thrifting !

What kind of lamp specifically? Drop a link to a website, because now I'm curious to see what you're looking for. There are just so many different styles. But I might know where to get that exact style. I do lots of virtual window shopping.

I haven't chosen a style. I just want something unique and pretty and large. Around 30" tall. My lamps now are 15" and very underwhelming.

I need help picking a new cam couch. I'll be adding a few decorative pillows to either, but which of these two couches do you think is more esthetically pleasing for a cam room?
Couch 1 (https://www.amazon.com/Chesterfield-Tufted-Leather-Scroll-Brown/dp/B07JNJH2NP/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=1HduA&pf_rd_p=96874069-f978-4df7-9810-f99814199e05&pf_rd_r=H5YS91GE33WKMX3Z7M12&pd_rd_r=0c3f41e6-ed2d-4990-b3ab-fd5eae0de568&pd_rd_wg=DF0fZ&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m)

My only worry with couch 2 is that it's a velvet material and I'm positive there would be lube on it at some point. Looks like it would be a pain in the ass to clean. :/

My only worry with couch 2 is that it's a velvet material and I'm positive there would be lube on it at some point. Looks like it would be a pain in the ass to clean. :/
I personally like the leather one more than the velvet. Either way you're gonna want to put something over it. You can add an ottoman to the leather sofa if you want the sectional look.

I need help picking a new cam couch. I'll be adding a few decorative pillows to either, but which of these two couches do you think is more esthetically pleasing for a cam room?

Yes anything leather or leather like gets stuck to the bare skin and makes noise too. I always suggest sitting on cushions with no patterns in the fabric or divots/buttons. I've had couches leave imprints in my skin from extended sitting. I have seen really great cam setups just using floor chairs/giant bean bags or mattresses on the floor with just a plain white fitted sheet that are EXTRA firm. Then extensively decorate the wall behind the floor set up with drop clothes. Even a Thai massage table would work wonders. :)

Currently I have a leather couch, but I put a blanket over the cushions (which was the plan either way).
Love the ottoman idea PGD!
ugh, choices... I'm usually much more decisive than this.

Anyone that has used LED light strips. Do you know if they can be held on by sticky tack? or if they can be taken down without damaging paint on the walls?

Those lamps are way over priced. Try thrift shops, Home Goods store. Thrift shops might have the more funky ones, especially if you live in an area with an aging population.
Ebay has some really unusual stuff if you type in 1970s lamps, but that can get expensive quickly too.. but I am so freaking tempted to buy these https://www.ebay.com/itm/164968558409?hash=item2668e46f49:g:JngAAOSw-fZgksHl because I am twisted & it was be a good conversation piece when on cam.

Couch covers, you can always buy a basic couch then go on amazon & buy couch covers to change up the color. Not to mention, pull off and wash whenever you need to.

I agree. Way overpriced for lamps. I saw that $750 one (And that's just a table lamp), and I was like WTF...that's RENT MONEY for some people! Lol. I bought a hybrid mattress from Wayfair earlier this year, and that site ain't cheap...that's for sure.
Nothing wrong with shopping Walmart, Target, Goodwill, or thrift stores. I've been seeing a lot of people talk about a store called At Home, because a new one opened in my area...and people are VERY excited about it.

I bought my own tape I think it was duck brand double sided tape, came down nicely no chips just had to remove slowly. It's usually harder to find tape that will actually hold them up and stay stuck. The tape that comes with them always sucks. I ended up moving them to be behind my furniture because I like the look of the glow on the wall but not looking directly at the light. I've bought so many different brands over the years.
I love the look of a tapestry in the background but so many models have them I'm concerned it will just be way too boring for the guys.

Thank you!
I am renting so I don't want to do anything that will damage the walls.
I was planning on doing the same thing- placing them behind the furniture to give it a nice glow. I have high ceilings, which I love the look but it's not really practical for streaming.
I want to add some small changes to improve the overall look that's pleasing (for me and potentially viewers.)

As long as you don't get a mandala or the tree of life you should be fine. :)

I have one but rarely use it. Prefer to use a rgb ring light this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087WWZSP2/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_WG31XW7RZWXGBNS5Z155?_encoding=U TF8&psc=1
The Elgato has to be attached to the desk top or table. Feels like it can be pushed off or over way to easily. Since the RGB Ring light has it's own stand, save yourself $50 & order it. I use the phone app to adjust it to different colors or brightness.
