Hi guys,
Just a bit of fun with Cycles and texturing. The concept came from a magazine photograph that I saw the other day, I tried to recreate it the best I could - whether I did or not is another thing 
Blender 2.62.0
2 Mesh Emitters
2000 Samples
Slight compositing in blender
Jay.
A very pleasant image - simple and correct! Looks like cool iPhone wallpaper =) good stuff!
Hi Jay, great work, could you share some details about the floor and time of renderingā¦?
nice. a yellow rubber duck placed under the commode would add seriousness to the piece. I like the render.
Soothing image and good lighting and textures!! but I think the lamp shade looks a little bit flat!
Very nice. Where did you get those textures? I want that floor! 
Hi guys, thanks for your comments
Render time on win7 GPU was around 15 minutes (Nvidia GeForce 560 Ti) - 2000 Samples.
A comode? hope you know that is a portable toilet right? Yeah, if I improve it, Iāll add a rubber duck for you juhada 
I created the floor myself from a selection of 5 texture planks - mixed them up a bit in an image editor and change the colour slightly etc. I added geomtry to the boards with a slight bevel edge to catch the light. I think the the planks came from CG-Textures.
The light is actually dimly switched on, this is why it appears a bit flat
looks pretty damn good to me.
nice minimalistic render.i like the composition and mood.
1. A low cabinet or chest of drawers, often elaborately decorated and usually standing on legs or short feet.
2. a. A movable stand or cupboard containing a washbowl.
b. A chair enclosing a chamber pot.
c. A toilet.
3. A womanās ornate headdress, fashionable around 1700.
Both of us were right, so now you owe me a rubber duck version of this piece. I still like the render!
cheers,
Well researched juhada, now I have to understand the need for the rubber duck - or maybe not
Nice scene. Itās a pity that the image is so small. Is the magazine Skona Hem (or whatever they spell it in Sweden)?
Ok, hereās a little fun update 
Added ducks for juhada, havenāt got a clue why, but why not?
ā¦ and to test out a night scene with just the lamp and very small ambient lighting from the mesh emitters:
Youāll notice that bright Mesh Emitters in scenes suffer from dodgey Anti-alaising, so a bit of post work is required to help tidy them up. I used a Bloom node setup as in the original and just tidied up a bit extra in an image editor as I didnāt want to over do the Bloom.
Zander Nicolic, I would upload a larger image, Iām just not sure what the rules are on resolution and file size on Blender Artists forum.
The Image came from a UK Homeware magazine āElle Decorationā, it was an advertisement for Ercol Barton. If you manage to track the image down, youāll see that the photograph was actually shot in a studio with heavy side diffused lighting, not very realistc - Although I couldnāt match the ambience in Cycles, I think weāre still a long way off to getting such a shot - hopefully little tests like this will get us closer though.

Wow Jay! Respect! I wasnāt actually joking about those ducks, but adding a row of ducks makes this even better than I imagined it could be. My initial point was that your image was so
disciplined in the first version,that i almost wanted to see a bit of āvisual noiseā if you will, just for the sake of contrast: your ultimately clean and perfect setup vs some playful, out of place element. Now that you added a bunch of them this image tells a story. Donāt get me wrong here though, I like your original image just as much as before, but I really like how you went and actually gave the ducks a shot. Raising my hat here! And yes, I like the ducked up version even better! Bravo
Weāre all crazy here, glad it gave you a smile
