Beige or checkered?

Would love suggestions on making my living room feel more cozy and cohesive. I have lots of green and can’t decide if I like either of these terracotta curtains or if I should go with a different color. I’m thinking I could add something to the far wall and maybe something colorful to the coffee table?

I snagged this absolute BEAUTY off the side of the road today. This is the shelf of my dreams! But now suddenly I can’t figure out how to decorate it LOL.

WHAT should I put on it?!? I'm definitely going to put a Sonny Angel on one of the smaller spots, but l'd love some ideas for the other sections

Me and my fiancé are moving into an apartment and have this wall thing that we want to make more functional. It is a small apartment so we plan on utilizing all the space possible. We also rent so we cannot make any holes. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Hey guys,

I recently moved into a 5x5m (25 sq meters) bedroom with an attached bathroom. It's a lot of space, but I’m having a hard time figuring out the layout. Every arrangement I think of either feels awkward or leaves a massive empty space in the middle of the room.
Here is what I’m working with (floor plan attached):
• Window on the top wall.
• AC unit on the left wall.
• The top-left corner has a 50cm angled wall.
What I need to fit:

1. A bed.

2. A TV and a couch. Here is the catch: I'm broke right now, so I have to keep the big-ass sectional couch you see in the pics for the meantime. I plan to buy a smaller one eventually, but for now, the layout needs to accommodate the big one. Either way, the couch needs to directly face the TV so I can lie down and watch comfortably.

3. A desk setup. I have a dual-monitor PC and need a decent amount of desk space for building hardware/electronics projects.
I've attached the floor plan, the new room (showing the bed and current big couch),
and my old room so you can see the desk setup I need to move.
If anyone has a good eye for zoning a room like this, I'd really appreciate some ideas or rough sketches.

Thanks!

How can we turn this room into a more warm, inviting and cohesive area? Could a rug help? I like the chair rail. Would it be better to bring it all the way around the other two walls? The faux brick panels are uneven.

Any ideas are welcome. TYIA!

FYI- the white cabinet is a detached pantry. We've thought about building a permanent one.

Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool in Afghanistan. Maimana Kilims are known for their happy colors and geometric designs. Exactly size is 3’4 x 5’1

I want to get a head board but with the desk i dont think that it would look ideal, and im also looking for some stuff to put on my wall

This is a cabinet I just bought and I really liked the finish. That burl texture holding this cabinet is really insane. In certain light it practically looks gold-leafed. I like it, but my family thinks it looks too raw; like untreated wood.

Maybe it’s not the piece itself but the styling around it. So Im thinking maybe a few thoughtful accents like warmer lighting, one or two decorative objects would help the cabinet look less haphazard and more intentional while allowing that wood texture to take center stage.

I quickly made an AI image to show what I had in mind. Would appreciate hearing if anybody has recommendations. Does it work for this corner?

The marble-look walls are doing exactly what they should — making the whole space feel larger and more expensive than it is.

Only thing I'd change: brushed nickel is fine but matte black hardware would've made those veining patterns pop harder. Small thing.

The plant and wood tray are doing a lot of heavy lifting styling-wise. Don't underestimate accessories in a shower — most people skip them entirely and wonder why it still feels unfinished.

I'm in need of help picking a wall color that goes with my fun bird chair (and also the couch)! My couch grabs the navy blue that lives in it, which is great. But I'm at a loss for a wall color that will work with both.

At first glance the chair seems to have warm colors -- browns, oranges, cream. But if you step back it actually has a very cool palette. I'm looking for something midtone to darker, open to neutrals and also capital C Colors!

Paint or wood?

Would love you all’s advice on how to make the space better, in particular our living room. A few things:

1. I think we need a bigger rug but I’m afraid it will get into the dining room space

2. we need to change our white couch, I like the color. Ideas on shape? Brand?

3. how do you feel about the different chairs in the living room?

4. What else would you change or add/remove?

Moving into a place that’s very ‘modern farmhouse,’ but our taste is more ‘whimsical cottage.’ We don’t plan to renovate, how can we make this space reflect our preferred aesthetic using decor only?

Is this painting too big for this space in my bathroom? Havent hung it yet so it will be higher

Edit: i recently moved into this apartment and the towel rack came like that. That was the first thing I complaines about when i got here. They never came to fix it and I honestly hate the placement since as some of you mentioned the towels touch the toilet. I will admit I need to fold them to avoid that but I get lazy sometimes

Edit 2: didnt expect so many comments. Im moving the towel rack. Will post a pt2 because I have no idea where to put it cause of the bathroom layout. This is my M22 first post grad apartment so bare with me
