I picked the sofa and main light. What should I do next?

Now I’m planning the table, rug, and extra lighting.

What would you do first? Rug, table, lamps, or something else?

I’d love suggestions for making the room feel warmer and more lived-in while still keeping it simple.

Rate my living room setup from 1-10?

Finally finished this little corner of the living room. I was going for something clean and cozy, with a little bit of contrast. What do you think? Be honest, what would you rate it out of 10?

How to fill this corner?

Almost finished decorating our new house but stumped on how to use this corner. We’ve thought of a reading corner situation but aren’t completely sure on this idea. Any recommendations would be super helpful!

Added pics of the rest of the room for reference.

Edit: also in the process of getting new blinds if they’re looking crazy.

Rug recommendation?

I finally found this ottoman that I really like, and this is the credenza I’ll be using. Now I’m stuck on the rug.

I’ve looked through what feels like hundreds of rugs, but nothing feels quite right. Most recommendations lean toward plain neutral rugs, but I don’t think that’s the direction I want to go. I’d like the room to have a little pop of color without feeling too busy.

One thing I’m also second-guessing is the ottoman itself. Do you think I should keep this brown one, or would a lighter neutral-colored ottoman work better with the space?

What rug style or design would you pair with these pieces? Would you go with:

  • Vintage-inspired?
  • Modern abstract?
  • Geometric?
  • Organic pattern?
  • Something with subtle color?

I’m trying to avoid a plain beige or ivory rug. I’d love something with a little personality that still feels cohesive.

Here are the photos in order:

  1. An AI rendering of how I envision the room.
  2. The original photo of the ottoman.
  3. The original photo of the credenza.
  4. Photos of the actual space.

I’d really appreciate any suggestions or specific rug recommendations. Thanks!

Advice for Dining Chairs

Hello lovely community. I am about to buy new dining chairs and looking for some advice on the design and colour. What I already have in place is the natural oak table and the walnut/travertine pendant lamps. In the same greater area I have both natural oak and walnut elements. I am including in the post some photos of the chairs as well as some genai projections of them in my place (which dont completely match the actual chairs).

Total distance between tables legs is 112cm.

Width of chair with armrest: 55cm

Width of chair without armrest: 53cm

How to decorate a plain rental apartment with the vibe of this cookbook

I have a tagine cookbook that not only has amazing recipes but is beautiful! I want to decorate my apartment but don’t even know where or how to start looking for colored items without it looking like a crayon box. I can’t paint or put up wallpaper so that feels limiting. My current vibe is more earthy rustic with a lot of jute rugs/browns/forest green/burnt orange. Mostly looking for advice on where to shop, or how to slowly transform a room into something that is tasteful and colorful, or advice on what the big items to start with would be.

What would you change?

I feel like something is off in my living room. What would you change, if anything? Because the room is long and skinny, I did the couch area and then a “reading nook / conversation area” by the windows

Which posters go best together for my dorm room?

Hello everyone! Which set of print go together best? I added gold frames or white. My dorm theme is pink, white, and maybe gold if the prints go. These would hang on the wall by my bed on my side of the dorm room. (I love Audrey Hepburn lol)

Roommate is moving out and I need to replace items but not sure what “vibe” I want.

TLDR at the bottom.

That’s my living room, I apologize for the mess, we have two cats.
Anyways, my roommate is taking her three tier floor lamp (that I love) and her tv stand. Basically I need help on deciding a color scheme. She’s taking all of the throw pillows so I will have to replace those and I may be getting a new gray sectional couch soon. I really like the three-tier lamp, but I’m not sure if that’s the vibe that I want. I want more plants fake or not and lighting in my living room. I have a white modern TV stand with LEDs in my Amazon cart right now but I’m not really sure if that’s the move/vibe. My living room is very small so I have a limited space and I’m not really sure if I’m even going to get the sectional couch.

Basically, I just need to color scheme ideas for the pillows. I’m going to have lots of greenery and potentially some vines around. Colors that I would prefer/Love are white, pink, green, brown, gray, and black. I also want some more shapes if that makes sense? I want the room to not look so plain and have more dimension. Also, my cat tree is pink.

TLDR; roommate is moving out and taking her lamp, TV stand, and throw pillows. I need a new color scheme and furniture replacement ideas to match.

How would you decorate this corner?

Hi my wife and i are looking to make our kitchen/dining space a bit homier. We feel like we did a pretty good job with the shelves, but we don’t know what to do with the corner space (we know we want to get rid of those prints, and we also can’t paint the place). how would y’all decorate?

How would you decorate this space?

Virtually staged this new couch in our existing space. If the tv was immovable how would you decorate this space?

How would you decorate this wall?

Hey y’all!

Just got home from a work trip n decided this Living room’s gotta be fixed.

Got some orange sheer curtains on the way- but this narrow space over the tv is killing me. Any ideas on what to do with it? It’s a two foot-ish gap.
