The Rare Values Desk had a revamp this week to make it more Habboweenish, i no it's early but it's fun :P
This is what it used to look like if you never saw it:

I'm obviously going to say it's great. It's not a major change which makes it good, so well done :D. Maybe for Christmas (if you do one) you could do like move the desk for a month and it would change a bit, then go back to normal.
But yes, very good!

FROM ANONYMOUS- ROOM REVIEW COMMENT
giving this room and the habbox help desk 9/10 is absolutely disgraceful. this
room is so ugly its almost unbearable. The lack of petals makes it look like
someone died while making the room.
Lodge corners look tacky, especially with
white pillows, and in this room they look absolutely mortifying.
The dragons
look okay, but it feels like you are copying nvrspks help desk with them, which
looks terrible, so horrible judgement call on your part.
The windows look good,
but that has nothing to do with your design.
The tele looks terrible with the
trophy, and as for
"has stuck to the same colours throughout."
and
"The good use of lodge corners make the room look sophisticated and very
neat. "
You should honestly be fired immediately if you believe that.
I agree with this person 100% in some areas.
First, you OBVIOUSLY know how to stick to a theme, because your rooms do it well...
However, the lodge corners look really really, did I say "really" yet? bad.
The visible black floor looks terrible (once again, no offense, it really does).
This room doesnt at all need to be blacked out. A dark purple wall and floor would look cool in this kind of room.
Area bars over lodge corners would look 10x better, and not realizing that makes me think that whoever designed the room might need to work a bit in the taste department.
some thumbs up points include the cauldrins and pumpkins, but you havent really done anything in specific with the room layout to make it look much different.
The old think help seating arrangement is always nice, and I like the torches, but when I read the name of this thread I was expecting something unique.
The main problem though, as I said before is the black floor showing. It looks just so terrible, that it takes away from the goodness of the room. My suggestion: Habbowood tiles, doormats, or Greek seats. The greek seats actually look great under pillows and pines.
And the lodge corners can easily be replaced with area.
Someone please agree with me here, im tired of always looking like the villain :S

To some extent, I agree with billyk for the normal theme. Having Pillows floating in the air and revealing the black space underneath looks very strange. I don't like it at all. Either put more Petals in and then stack it or just have it on the floor without Petals. The same goes for the Pine and Pumpkin stack.
There is an overuse in Dragons, in my opinion. 15 Jade Dragons in a space of 104 tiles. 14.4% of the floor is occupied by the Dragons. Do you really need that many? Not to mention that the Jade Dragon itself is horrendous.
Instead of the trophies, maybe use Ice Cream Machines or Birdbaths? Perhaps those will look better.
Moving onto the Habboween theme...
Pumpkins don't look good stacked on Pines. They're way too big. Put with the Lodge Corners and it looks as if they're about to engulf them.
Same comment as the Petals with the Jungle Patches.
I don't like the Cauldrons at all. I would much prefer you just have two of them and stack either a Skull Candle or Pumpkin on it.

and get rid of the lodge corners !!
And please remember, this isn't necessarily a place where people will be as kind as your employees. The room does need improvement, and even after that, it will look like just another help desk.

Not sure about changing Lodge Corners, but they definitely don't fit with White Pillows. Either switch Corners or Pillows.

Why would you post it then? It kinda defeats the point of this forum :S
You wanted to show us, but didnt want us to say anything about it?!11

You can say stuff about it like "i don't like it" or "i like it" but i'm not really looking to improve it in anyway so no need for all the reasons why :P

Heh I guess im the opposite.
When someone tells me "I dont like it" I get really upset, because either they are lying to make you upset, are willing enough to say they hate it, but too lazy to post why they hate it.
People with taste will tell you why they dislike something and tell you what they don't like about it so that you can improve it.
Its whats called constructive criticism, rather than trolling by saying ME NO LEIKY SOZ

Completely, totally and utterly agree with you. I posted my Habbox Live Party Room in this forum (click here (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=520378)) and I just absolutely hate it when people just go "it's not that great". Unless you can back up why you do/don't like it, your comment means nothing to me.

You get upset if someone says "I dont like it" billyk? Sounds a little bit stupid to me. If people just say that it normally means they dont have a proper opinion on something. I get it a lot from articles.

Tbh i love it, and the comment about overuseing dragons...
Have you EVER looked in pitchs or immensemans or vienese's etc casinos? Do they over use rares?
No.

No.
The difference between Immenseman's casino designs and/or Viennese's casino designs with this -Danube- design is that both Immenseman and Viennese use their rares appropriately in a suitable fashion such that it doesn't look weird. Their rares are actually laid out nicely in a distinctive pattern. And they don't have any decorative rares placed down that cover over 10% of the total flooring in the room.
If you look at the Rare Values Desk, the Dragons just seem to be randomly placed. That could be caused by the initial design of the staff area. Why would you make the boundary shaped like a thunderbolt? It would probably be a lot better if the staff area was rectangular.

I dont know what this means. You think it sounds stupid that I dont like it.... but you agree it means that the people who say it are dumb and completely indifferent to room taste and sharing their thoughts.
I dont get is :s

I mean, I think its stupid when people say that. I wouldn't get upset though.
Normally people who say things like "I dont like it" don't have a proper opinion on it.
Sorry I worded it wrong.
