Ok, I want to start redecorating my little studio and I need some inspiration.
And yes I already seen workspaces (but most are exactly like mine messy shizzz).I am looking for furniture, walls i.e. interior inspiration. Hoping for a forum where I can post a photo of my studio and people will sketch some furniture, walls etc. (hmm, might be a concept for a website)
regards

it already exists and it's called an interior designer—and they cost money!

@gabe, I beg to differ. Well not the fact that hiring a interior designer cost money.
But as with flash, php. You have forums where you can spar with others how to come to a solution. As for almost everything you have forums and websites. And I am in no need of Martha Stewart.
See it as a creative block ;)

hmm, good luck!
Only forum I know of (I am an architect and occasionally will work on interiors) are www.archinect.com and www.dwellmag.com and www.livemodern.com
It's a little different copying and pasting some old code or writing a quick snippet. Designing and interior is a lot more work (budgets, colors, size, scale, function, etc.).
If I were you, I'd look at:
www.roomandboard.com
www.westelem.com
www.designwithinreach.comand go buy a ton of magazines and start cutting out what you like.
That's just the start, prior to hiring the int. designer.
If money is tight, just use those sites/the mag's images as guidelines.
keep in mind, it's completely different to critique someone's work versus doing it for free. Imagine if someone came on here and said "hey, I need a site and a logo, anyone care to start?"

maybe this place. it's got a discussion section.
http://core77.com/i personally prefer to look at magazines like elle decor, frame, arbitare, etc and trust my designer's instinct. after all, i am a designer.
you should ask around here, be surprised how many architecture grads are here.

Yup, me be one of them.
I love to give critiques, but don't like doing work for free.
Get a start, do your homework and you'll get far. It's a effort=reward thing....or hire a pro.

@mbr, tx for your great post and explanation. And yes I am looking for critiques on interior designwork in general as I think that's a good/nice way to learn. I didn't mean "here's my space - make me an interior - thank you".
Your links sounds promising.
@tkmeister, great link.
