apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Absurd - and not very practical.

Practically absurd. Yes.

This doesn't work for me, and did you say this was a retail shop? Used store, they clothing looking dingy. The furniture pieces are interesting, and bring the eye to the top. Other than that, doesn't work for me.

i think it's great.

It's actually a pretty practical idea if you have a large wall to be used for clothing storage, but you have a limited amount of depth space available. It'd be much more interesting to stack a few clothing hanger hooks, rather than just have a long clothing rod.
Or, you know, you can just be negative about everything. :)

whatever......

Poor use of retail space. Detracts from the clothes. Confusing, are they selling clothes or furniture or both. Clothes look sloppy and wrinkled. Not carefully displaced. Colors are haphazard. No focus on the merchandise. Enough

don't do that.

Horrible...I think I would stop being friends with someone if they invited me over for the first time and their house was decorated this way...

A few pieces mounted I think I couuld forgive but this is just horrible overkill...

I live in a small apartment like a lot of people, and there's two different concepts here. An adequate amount of furniture takes up floorspace as it is and decreases the amount of space one has to move around. Some people love a piece of furniture but have no room to collect these pieces. My ceilings are high - luckily I have a lot of storage and not so much money or luck as to have more furniture than I use, but that is something to consider. Putting a cabinet on a dresser (they were very low, matched - albeit white formica and gone for a long, long time now - and the result was somewhat like an armoire) is something I have done, as is putting a low bookshelf on a desk like a hutch or on a same size table, just so I could keep both in the same small or awkward space. Using vertical space can be useful, or it can mean you have more stuff than you can admit you use or need to hold onto.

Ultimately, this is about using the furniture on the floor that I have and not worrying about large wooden articles of furniture falling on me, or feeling closed in. If someone found some kind of shelf or commode-style table at a thrift store, I can't say it would always look bad mounted to the wall for extra use as a shelf or cabinet, but maybe saw off the legs if it's not that precious.

A large collection of empty furniture as "wall art" especially close to the ceiling is kind of a pretentious and horrible idea, bordering on cuckoo. This is like what if there was a furniture-themed restaurant, like your basic Hard Rock Cafe or TGI Fridays, so the walls are filled with dressers instead of music history or sports memorabilia or license plates, only in this case, it's supposed to be a clothing store? It looks like it might be a vintage clothing store (nothing hanging is the same as anything on its rack), but do they take offers on the furniture as well? This is a case where I think they might, being the kind of store it likely is. If a private citizen were to collect more furniture than they could use or need in their small apartment, one would hope they are in business to themselves to turn over stock and sell what they find or buy and/or refinish, and aren't using the pieces in this way to decorate their home.
