SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE STEAMPUNK THEATRE OF YOUR LIFE
STAKE OUT YOUR OWN STEAMPUNK TERRITORY
You may not own a castle. You may be in a rented room with just a cot. Maybe you inhabit a dilapidated squat.
Don't let living in mundane surrounds be a spanner in the cogs.
You too can still steampunk up your living spot.
So one way or another you are living under someone else roof or not in your forever home. Your co habitors are stuck in groove and wont let you go loose. For what ever reason you are halted from going full steam ahead. Don't let that hold you back from keeping a steamier side to your life.
Stage dressing is by its very nature a temporary and ephemeral thing . It can be packed up easily and relocated to the next venue.

Anything can be transformed or electrified with a paint design or effect.
The drama of life is merely all mirrors and lighting.
Industrial style & metal tubing furniture creates a theme in any room.
Bamboo & cane suites can be jazzed up with chrome, gold , bronze or brass alchemy - or spray paint .
The appropriate accoutrement are always apropos to creating the mood .

cushions, curtains, clocks, wall coverings

Put it up there in neon lights
If you are really lucky you can take liberties and have the full on freedom of artistic expression with an entire wall
trompe 'l'oeil for realistic looking drama
The other option is enlarging some one else's art for a wall mural.
There are businesses that specialise in blowing up photos and other images for full impact.
A genuine vintage theatre backdrop for your main room or own private space.
