I want to do a room design in sort of a city scape. But I don't know where to start. All I have right now is a massive grey room. Does anyone have ideas on how to do a city-esque room? Or can you provide links? I've been searching around, and I haven't found anything good, except for a red phone booth idea for the door.

Thanks for the help!
I'm looking for either New York or London. A very grungy city design to be more specific.

Answer
What city..Big difference in England, Paris and NYC. Also what mood....Sexy, Night life, Day time, Romantic, Fun....Artsy...Gothic...Old world...1920's...Modern day.

You want a good city garbage can http://www.globalindustrial.com/g/office/garbage-recycling/containers-outdoor-steel/outdoor-steel-mesh-trash-receptacles This you turn upside down and put an old round table top on painted black and grey.

Find some funky lamps at a thrift store and spray paint them black and silver and rust.

Make a low table from an old pallett. Get 2 ...Lift the top boards and then set them together without a gap. For the legs use old lawn mower wheels http://www.homeaccentstoday.com/articles/blog/1960000396/20090413/986-Furniture_Factory_Cart.1_04-12-2009_K218Q29Q.standalone.prod_affiliate.81.jpg This will work for your TV and stereo.
