Do you wish you could hire Star Trek set designers as your interior decorator?
I do. It's difficult to describe so this may not make sense, but I find the interior of Voyager and the interior of Enterprise on the new series to be pleasantly appealing. When I watch these shows I tend to long for that environment. I'm a highly creative person and my surroundings have always been important to me; my creativity will thrive more in certain environments. If I could make my own living quarters look like the living quarters on those starships I would be in heaven.
I like the way the curvature of the hull changes the look of a room, as opposed to the four flat square walls in buildings here on earth.
I like how the surface of the walls is often a combination of metal bulkhead and padding with an architectural design that needs no embellishments such as pictures, knickknacks, etc. Rooms are decorative without having been decorated, all that is needed is some personal artifacts to make the room one's own. Most rooms here on earth need pictures or posters hung on them if you don't want to look at bare white walls.
The lighting is one of my favorite features. I like the track lighting done throughout the ship that creates a nice ambient light emitting from the walls or beneath beams and ledges. Better than light fixtures anchored to the middle of the ceiling or table lamps that require another piece of furniture to place them on which would otherwise be unneeded.
Which leads to my next point: everything in the room is functional, no superfluous furniture or anything just to "liven up a room". Since they are space vessels everything is utilitarian which is expected, but I think their excellent blend of utilitarian design with just a dash of tasteful luxuries would be a perfect choice for my own home.
I think a combination of the Enterprise from the new series and Voyager would be best. On that Enterprise there is less lushness and lots of chrome fixtures. I love the chrome look, but I think to go entirely with that look would make your living quarters too sterile looking. While Voyager?s living quarters tend to lean too much towards a luxury hotel room. So a nice blending of the two designs would be preferable.
To me, my computer desk is the most important feature of my living space. I can and have done without a couch or a bed but I have to have a desk with my computer on it. It?s where I work and spend most of my time so it is important that I am comfortable at it and that its look and arrangement is just right. In tonight?s episode of Enterprise there was a scene with Captain Archer sitting at his desk in his living quarters. It was dark in the room except for the small lights under the shelves above the desk. It looked so cozy in there; I could work forever in that room under the glow of my computer monitor.
I?m also perfectionist so the neat, clean, sleek atmosphere would also appeal to this side of my nature.
Anyone else have these same feelings towards the interior design of the Star Trek ships?
