The easiest thing I can think of that would remind *you* of Middle-Earth without overwhelming your siblings, would be to think the way elves think, and make the room as *natural* as possible. Think of (subtly) turning it into a forest, or a garden. Soft greens, quiet browns, sky-blues up high.

Add some good-sized plants if you can (does it have any windows, enough light for plants? A few potted flowers would be lovely.) Add an indoor fountain if you can.

Your sibs should probably be able to deal with a fwe elvish artifacts, and for you that should complete the effect.

If you have any instruments that could pass as elvish, they'll help--you can always play them

You could also add some Celtic- or Indian-print sarongs.

I'm still renovating my Flet and I found a really cool ELVEN BATHTUB! Look at this, guys!

.



But, you see, the problem is it is a paltry $6000! I thought I'd faint when I heard that! And the corker is, for that $6000 you have no choice of color!

Still trying to make an elven house, dispite the lack of Elven bathtub.

Plants...hmmm...not enough light, but some fake ones might be nice...
My sibs WOULD NOT be able to deal with any elvish artifacts, however subtle.
Instruments...hmmm...now there's a thought!
Sarongs...nice touch! Thanks for your help mark 12_30!

And lovely bath Raefindel! $6000? No prob! !
