I am unsure of what furniture to put in this room. It is large, but mostly unusable space. There is a bar behind the brown chairs (no chairs)
I have taped off a 124”x124” sectional and 56” square table. Thinking a swivel chair where the white chair is and add a rug. What do you think? The entire room is off centered which drives me crazy.

Thanks!

I would love rug suggestions and decor - like pillows or throws. I’m happy to add some other colors too.

Hey there! I would love to make this entry room a cozy area to read, crochet, and craft. This is an actual living room farther in so I don’t need another one. It’s just such a large area that I’m not sure how to set it up and what kind of furniture to use. The angle of the camera is shot from the front door, and the door in the middle of the wall goes into the actual house. I do have a large table I could put in here but no other furniture yet. Thank you!

Just put together my hybrid home office and lounge space; how would you rate it from 1 to 10?

Open to any suggestions on layout, lighting, or wall decor to elevate the setup.

Drop your honest rating and let me know what you would tweak or add next!

I’m in a redo mood!! I’m changing the style I want for my living room but I get overwhelmed with the size of my walls so I always end up doing nothing.
I’d love any input or ideas anyone may have!
I’m open to a new couch,tv stand, rug, all of the things!
I’d love for my couch to not be on the window but open to any suggestions! Even a projector tv if it means my space will look cool lol

I’m really struggling trying to elevate my living room. I have a good bones and a beautiful fireplace, but it’s so ordinary and drab. The sectional has to stay as well as the other furniture pieces. I really need to figure out how to choose pictures for the walls and a new rug or even rearrange the furniture. I just have so many doorways and. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have no idea how to do this. If anyone has thoughts let me know! The second pic is what I came up with.

Hi all! I'm decorating our cozy townhome slowly. We just picked up a compact, lighter-toned dining table, and have a big to do list but dont know where to start.

my big todos:
Finding matching dining chairs and a bench

Paint the dining area and hallway. aiming for soft, airy greens/blues or pink with Modern Indian & Oaxaca-inspired warm accents like terracotta

swap the lighting.

out up art

Where should I start? Is it better to paint first, buy furniture first, or tackle lighting/art? How do you organize a multi-step design project without feeling overwhelmed?

This is my living room and i was thinking something simple modern like feel attached in the next picture. But it also now doesn’t look like WOW.

Please help decorate and give ideas that could be diy

I’m open to replacing the couch and chairs. I love bold colors like green and burnt orange, and I’m open to wallpaper too. I’d like the space to feel warm, cozy, and cohesive without being too cluttered. Definitely looking for DIY/budget-friendly ideas!

I need some help with decorating this dining room area! We currently have a wooden table and bench. We’re trying to do a modern organic theme since the house is very millennial grey. It’s just such a big area I don’t know what to do! The floor plan says 10’1”x 13’3” for dining room

Help me work out the best layout for my teardrop trailer

I’m currently rebuilding my trailer and I’m at the point where I’m trying to work out the interior layout. I’ve got a good amount of space to work with, but I’m struggling to figure out the best way to arrange everything around the doors while maximising storage and keeping it practical to use.

The space

Interior height: 1380mm
Interior length: 2750mm
Interior width: 1800mm

The height is probably my biggest challenge. 1380mm obviously isn’t enough to stand, but it is enough to comfortably sit on a couch/bed, so I’m trying to design around that rather than fight it.

My must-haves

Foldable/sliding bed to maximise the available space.

Plenty of furniture that can double as storage.

No kitchen/cooking inside. I don’t want to be hunched over trying to cook inside.

A table and proper seating inside so I can sit inside on a rainy day, have a coffee with a friend, or use it as a small workspace/office.

I want the main living area to still feel usable when the bed is folded away.

The bed

My main idea at the moment is a sliding/unfolding Help me work out the best layout for my teardrop trailer bed or a bed that converts into a couch.
The reason I want this rather than a permanent bed is that I want to be able to use the trailer during the day without feeling like I’m just sitting around on a bed. If it’s raining, I want to be able to sit inside with a friend, have a coffee, work on something, etc.

Originally I was planning to have the bed across the back of the trailer on a raised frame. This would give me storage underneath and allow a large drawer to pull out the back, which could become an outdoor kitchen/benchtop.

Another option I’m considering now is building a bench seat along one entire side of the trailer.

The rear section of that bench could have an opening through the back of the trailer, with the outdoor kitchen pulling out from underneath the bench. That could give me the storage I want while keeping the area around the door more open and usable.
I’m wondering if this might actually work better than having the bed across the back, especially if the bench can convert into the bed when needed.

Kitchen

The kitchen will be outside, not inside.
I’m currently thinking about having the outdoor kitchen pull out from underneath the side bench and exit through the rear of the trailer. That would keep the cooking area hidden when not being used and avoid taking up valuable interior floor space.
I’m not completely locked into this though, and I’d be interested to hear if anyone sees a better way of incorporating the outdoor kitchen.

What I’m struggling with

The biggest problem is working around the doors and access while still making the inside feel like a useful space.

There are a lot of possible combinations and pros/cons to everything, so I’m trying not to get too attached to any one idea.
I’m mainly looking for people who have experience with small trailers/teardrops and can see something I’m missing.

What layout would you go with in this space?

Especially interested in ideas for positioning the bench/bed, table and seating, storage and the rear outdoor kitchen.

I’ll add photos showing the project from the start to where it is now, along with a grid/layout drawing of the interior dimensions so you can see exactly what I’m working with.
I’m open to changing the layout completely if there’s a better way of using the space.

I've recently moved into my first home. It's an apartment with the living area combining dining and sitting room. The kitchen is small so the fridge also has to be in this main space. How do I decorate so the fridge doesn't look so odd and lonely here. The dining area is to the right and my POV is from the couch in the corner, I intend to either flip the couch so it sections off the seated area or get an armchair for the space between me and the fridge, but what else do you think would be good? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m furnishing my living/dining room and I’d really appreciate some input from people with interior design experience.

I’ve attached a floor plan with three layouts I’ve been considering (A, B and C). I’m absolutely open to completely different solutions as well.

The main pieces I would like to use are:

- armchair

- sofa (ideally the 2-seater + chaise longue configuration, alternatively a large 2-seater + separate ottoman)

- Tulip-like dining table

The main room is roughly 5.07 m wide, and the sofa/dining area is approximately 3.58 m deep in the direction shown on the drawing.

My main problem is storage around the dining area.

I would really like to add a sideboard/cabinet behind the dining table for plates, glasses, serving pieces, etc. However, once I add a cabinet there, the space between the dining table/chairs and the sofa becomes quite tight.

With the chaise-longue sofa, I also can’t move the sofa much further forward because the chaise would start overlapping/blocking the window area.

The 2-seater + ottoman version gives me more flexibility: I could move the sofa forward and gain more room around the dining table. But then I create another problem: a long, narrow strip of space behind the sofa, accessible mainly from one short end. I’m struggling to see how that space could actually be used without turning it into an awkward dead zone.

So I’m trying to solve three things at the same time:
- keep comfortable circulation around the dining table, especially when chairs are pulled out.
- add meaningful storage for dining-related items.
- avoid wasting the area behind the sofa.

I’m particularly interested in hearing what you would do if you were designing the room from scratch, rather than simply choosing between A, B and C.

Would you prioritize the chaise-longue layout and find another solution for storage, or would you choose the more flexible sofa + ottoman configuration?

And if the sofa is pulled forward, is there a smart way to make a narrow strip behind it genuinely useful, or is that usually a sign that the layout itself is wrong?

Any suggestions, sketches or alternative layouts would be very welcome.

Thanks!

Please can I ask for some ideas on how to make this space better, what kind of things I can buy for storage or what someone else would do with the space. The drying rack sits on top of the washing machine at present Thank you

This is the first room of my two bedroom apartment. It is what you see when you enter. Trying to figure out a good use for the space. The measurements are 10ft by 10ft, with a four foot diagonal cutout. The French doors lead to the kitchen and bathroom, other door to the living room. There is a hallway outside for shoes and storage.
We put up the wave print wallpaper thinking fun beach theme to work around the surfboard, with a desk and reading area. But unsure now and haven’t been able to find the right furniture, so it’s been stalled. Happy for any ideas!!! Help us make progress on finishing our space, please!

The plan is to have the furniture be a black or grayscale color and have decorations and accessories that are colorful to make them pop. As for furniture I’m thinking of getting an entertainment center and stand for the TV, an ikea desk setup, a bed with a headboard, and a clothing rack most likely. Right now I think I really like where the bed and desk are positioned it’s mainly the rest of the furniture. The closet I’ll likely turn into a storage room or mini room I don’t really know honestly. For the vibe I’m kinda going for a chill bedroom with the main idea of it being an entertainment room that just happens to have a bed in it.
