How To Make a Sideways Room:
Step 1. Get an empty room.
Step 2. Paint the entire room white — including the floor.
Step 3. Paint a window on the floor, just for fun. Then let the paint dry overnight. (I used electrical tape to make the window frame and bars.)
Step 4. Bring in a couch, nail up a rug on the wall, and hang a table over it (we used monofilament thread from the hardware store).
Step 5. Add a poster and a light switch on the ceiling for effect. (We also threw in a fake power outlet mounted sideways on the far wall, which you can see in the first picture up top. The other outlet in that picture, which looks much too high to reach, damages the effect — I should have painted it white.)
Step 6. Reinstall the curtain rod and tack up the drapes to make them hang sideways. Stick some stuff to the table in a suggestive manner.
Step 7. Nail a trash bin high up in a corner of the room, and arrange some trash around it. "Lean" a broom against the ceiling (again using monofilament thread).
Step 8. Add a bookshelf and fill it with books. Also add an end table and hang a lamp on it.
Step 9. Suspend a ceiling lamp and its cord so it "hangs" sideways out of the opposite wall into the middle of the room. (Unfortunately, we don't have a good picture of this.)
Step 10. And the coup de grâce — affix a chair high on the wall (using metal L-brackets). This one change suddenly added a whole new level of vertigo. Standing in the room began to feel like floating overhead.
Step 11. Cackle evilly. Or giggle uncontrollably. Or both.
The whole thing took two days (one day for painting, one day for arranging everything else). Hope you enjoyed this as much as we did. This project really made me want to do crazy art installations for a living.

Nice imagination ;) Even though it looks pretty sweet, I don't think I'd try it in my house anytime soon.

you should put the door sideways and leave it closed.
people will feel pulled to see why its sideways.
just looking at the pictures made me dizzy.
if i didnt have to actually use it id do my room like this

this is a cool idea, but who would waste the time and space to make an empty unuseable room. I bet the people who did it in the pictures are already using it for a storage room.

sweet! For version 1.1, you need to make the fake window the same proportions as the real one, that was the big spellbreaker for me.
I've long dreamed of taking a photo of a room, projecting it back onto the room but at a skew angle, then tracing the projection in paint. So when you stand at the door you subconsciously think the room's at a slight angle to what it's really at. I don't think I'll ever do it though, RL keeps intruding!

That looks awesome. I'd love to do this to one of the rooms in my house. Just imagine waking up and walking into a sideways room.
Trippy.

You just have to find a way of placing an LCD TV in place of the window, and have it broadcast from a webcam outside the party - so people can "see" outside...

If you have a party and someone passes out, drag them into that room. They wake up and think they are crazy.
