Thinking about human living spaces furnished for yinglets in a modern world. Very much a work in progress, but so far, the main differences as I see them:
- Bed on floor (with short box underneath), human Full size mattress, flipped horizontally/pillows placed lengthwise for group sleeping situations
- Posters and TVs positioned to be viewed at yinglet standing height
- Tall shelves need space for stepladders in front of them
- Double-decker couch real (even most of the heavier yinglets are lighter than an adult human of average height, and their legs don't hang off the front)
I only just moved the poster and TV down to yinglet eye level, I think I can justify putting stepladder-accessible shelves on the resulting empty space, but the practicality of such a maneuver has yet to be seen
Version 2: Featuring closet and smaller bathroom (neither of which I'm confident enough in at the moment to show off on their own). Though I need to make the platforms themselves less plain, I'm still embracing the platform meta: the upper media shelves are accessible without moving a stepladder around, and from a yinglet's perspective you can now see things outside the left window that aren't trees and sky.
Aspects still need to be reworked for a complete version (in a version of OvO's house that includes common areas for her housemates I'll probably ditch the bigass TV in favor of a multimonitor computer desk, and the couch in favor of a limited solo seating area) but that's part of this whole exercise, to experiment, figure out my own priorities as a person, and figure out what works/what doesn't
It was pointed out to me -- yes, yinglet legs wouldn't hang out over the edge of the couch, but yinglet tails would if they're pulled forward in a lounging position! Has me wondering how to properly address this in a later version of the couch concept
