What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
I'm curious to know the style type using for webcam background. I've been using solid color silk sheet, but I'm starting to think maybe that's a bit tacky. I'm renting out apartment, and I can't paint my bedroom walls over my lease contract and also every few months they do smoke detectors inspections so I couldn't get away with painting right now the walls is solid white looks a bit too boring for webcaming.
So, I'm wondering if anyone have any good tips on having nice professional type look without doing it painted/wallpaper ?
I'm sorry if this maybe be repeat question. I couldn't find under typing keywords for wall backgrounds.

Honestly my walls are a soft "mushroom" colour in my apartment. very nice, better than the normal stark white *shudder* and then behind me is a giant oriental wall fan. The bed Im all is all silky bed covers and satiny pillows and until I stand up thats really all people see. Then its just big clean wall with a beautiful fan.

How about a room divider? www.roomdividerstore.com has LOTS of variety to chose from, including great oriental designs.

My apartment walls are the dreaded white as well since we can't paint them (like the OP).
But I have the camera angled to face my dresser, which is nicely decorated neatly with books, my old beautiful camera and little personal touches. I have a tall light behind it that gives off great light. My bedding is neutral green. So it looks pretty but if i were to move from my bed to stand, you would see my shoe rack and white walls. lol.
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
Mine are white as well, and I don't like it. I like the idea of a room divider in my background, or a really cool painting, or posters. I saw a cool chalkboard room divider. I like some of these but I'm sure they would cost me:

That chalkboard one is super cool. You could do all sorts of things with it too.
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
The chalkboard room divider would be really easy to make at home. You can buy a divider and the chalk paint that they sell at hardware stores. They also have the cute little stick on chalkboard dots on amazon that you could use.
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
Thanks ladies for the suggestion about the room dividers. I never thought about doing that, and I will look into finding one that goes well with my bedroom set.
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
OMG... i like the divider and chalkboard idea.
the chalkboard would be great for the MFC girls... !

That's what I was thinking too
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
Sometimes its just my anime posters in the background (which the nerds love and can end up being an hour long private discussion on who would win a fight, superman or goku lol)
sometimes i put my old rainbow bedsheet (not the comforter) up on some nails in the wall... like
put 3 nails on the wall, then place the sheet in them (cut the holes in the sheet so they can slide on with ease) bam you got a easy background, and you can take it off at anytime :)
Also have different things handy around you like your toys and stuff in plain site, it seems people take you to pvt faster when they see what you're working with ^_^

I went to the party store and got backdrops etc. I have a pink one and a silver one, metallic. In my room I have a futon and my chair by my workstation where I have a dell desktop with touchscreen monitor and a laptop and have 3 webcams, including my new HD with follow technology.
party america or even dollar tree has stuff you can make cheap.
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
i tacked maroon sheets up in a corner and put out my bedspread on the floor. People always either think I'm in a studio or on my bed... It looks pretty though
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
I think you have to find the fineline between looking so professional that you look like youre working in a studio and that its so cheap looking it looks bad.
You still always want to look like a really good amateur. So I prefer to make it still look like Im at home but I want it to look good.
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
I like the real home look. But a VERY clean home, nicely decorated. Makes me feel like we are on a date a your house. Yes I am a customer too *wink =)
Personally the studio backdrops make me cringe and i dont even bother to go in studio looking rooms. I guess I always feel like studio girls are forced to be there and its a distracting look. Its like im always waiting on a man with a keyboard to jump from behind the sheets tacked on to the wall.
Excuse my ignorance & stereotypes ... I just ....CANT.

lol why did i really imagine some angry pimp looking man doing what you described :D .
not to threadjack ... i know that may not be the case for most girls working in the studio places as it seems some can hit top earner spot, ex: SM, but i have peeked in this one pinay girl's room on MFC (she had a really cute profile picture) and the room was straight squalor. i mean no bed, no sheet, nothing on the wall, no fan, no carpet. like a straight bare half a room with a wall with a hole in it (i guess gloryhole). i couldn't believe the owner would think that that would make money - unless it's some fetish type of thing.
besides that - i agree with having your set looking nice and homey. mine isn't the way i want it to look atm, but an xmas present to myself will help it.

I'm am with CamWhore, i pass right over the stereotyped studio rooms. They have the same zombie vibe in every one.
I like the personal touches of someone's clean room. Be it a bedroom or nice living room. A nice voyeuristic comfy-ness.
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
You can make it look good while still making it look amateurish. Residential settings can still show where you are.
I just use my 2nd bedroom and decorate it with backdrops and all that.
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
you can use liquid starch with a paint roller to put up some cotton fabric or a thinner shower curtain or tablecloth to add color to a white wall.
great for renters as you just spray water on it and pull it off when you move. of course rinsing the wall off too.
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
is papasan chair like those you get from pier 1 ok to use for camming? Thanks
Re: What's your setup for webcam wall background ?
When I was camming in my room - it is also white, so I went to target and bought those peel and remove 'wall murals' / wall decals- they are kind of like those clings you stick on your windows.. anyhow they are very decorative, come in all kinds of designs, and only cost maybe $10-$40 depending on size/design/etc. they have some really nice ones online.. try amazon.. then you just peel, stick, and when you are done with them.. just take them off the wall- no mess!
