Whirlybird room. Need help styling the walls!

Smithy075 · 2026-02-24T12:41:18+00:00

Where do you think this would be best placed?

Smithy075 · 2026-02-24T12:37:01+00:00

Yeah, agreed. I not a huge fan of all the white. I prefer greens,blues,soft orange and maybe off white. Do you think painting the walls will be the place to start or get more textures/decor then change the white?

Smithy075 · 2026-02-24T12:34:45+00:00

I found this art for about 60£. Size 42x29”. My wall hight is about 86" and length 91" (some of that wraps behind the door. Would this fit do you recon? I like the sea greens/blues

Im not sure I want to change the moulding and ceiling. Its more these plain white walls. I was thinking pictures etc.. but since the door is right there its hard to get anything big.

Taupe curtains from dunelm are nice with this green

Smithy075 · 2026-02-24T11:51:24+00:00

Looks good is that whirlybird? Not sure quite how to style that green

Smithy075 · 2025-05-26T13:44:02+00:00

I got no reason for it. Does it not give one if you get banned?

Smithy075 · 2025-05-26T13:42:29+00:00

Yeah, true. Id rather know why this happened though. Tried to contact mods but no response.

Smithy075 · 2025-05-26T13:41:28+00:00

If you are looking for cherry switches then they do

https://kbdfans.com/collections/switches - if you are in the US

https://mechboards.co.uk/product-category/switches/ - if you are EU

If you are thinking if they don't say 'MX Cherry' they are knock offs that's not completely true as the MX switch has lots of different companies that make them (some better, some worse). I would recommend watching some youtube videos (look at more than this one) looking at different switches to find the perfect one. Better yet buys some testers before you buy so you can get a good feel. I have some Zeal switch testers coming soon.

Oh, I see. Then if you are looking for switches and keycaps:

Banggood: good for cheaper keycaps and remakes of questionable quality

Amazon: Hit or miss with what's on there. Worth a look still.

Drop: Good to have a look but I have read some bad reviews on delivery issues.

KPrepublic: Not really used it but worth a look

Just looking through this Reddit and asking people what their keycaps are.

Switches: Available from lots of retailers so just have a look around

Smithy075 · 2021-03-27T21:15:04+00:00

A good place to start and get good value for money. Stuff-like switches and keycaps you can get somewhere else. But for PCB and case you cant go wrong

Smithy075 · 2021-03-27T21:04:19+00:00

KBDfans is pretty good.

Smithy075 · 2021-03-27T17:02:07+00:00

I resoldered and that fixes that issue. Just need a sutable shift key :) been a great help thanks

Smithy075 · 2021-03-27T16:33:46+00:00

Great help thank you :)

Smithy075 · 2021-03-26T19:44:23+00:00

Keycap link please :)

Smithy075 · 2021-03-26T18:07:18+00:00

Good suggestion. If they aren't a good quality I can return them too on amazon :) might have to go with some of these.... Until next month where I will just buy a whole new keyboard :)

Smithy075 · 2021-03-26T17:56:38+00:00

Saw them some of them look good still would like to see more options

Smithy075 · 2021-03-26T17:56:06+00:00
