I live in a beautiful loft style apartment. This is my bedroom. It’s quite large so there’s basically two parts, the wall my bed is on and then this in the photo. I’m so torn about how to properly hang curtains / make it blackout on that window!!!!! (Custom made would be too $$) I also don’t know what to put in that little area? Ideas? Please help. My place has so much potential and I feel like it’s going to waste
I just bought a new console table, lamp and shade for my wee hall. My wife isn't sure about the lampshade...
Should I move the couch in the center and just put nothing in the corner or should I find something to put in the corner ?
We just got a minisplit installed in our living room. The house is a 1925 Colonial and my husband and I try to keep to a classic look for the interior that matches the age of the house and the molding.
The minisplit is a necessary eyesore (the window AC unit will be gone permanently). We will be purchasing a cover for it, but this is where my husband and I can't agree. I know that nothing is going to make this thing visually disappear, but what color should we go with?
White, same as molding
Blue, same as walls
A bronze, non-shiny metallic
A completely different color entirely!
Other photos in the comments. Also excuse the sad cut and paste of the cover. I didn't want to use AI.
I have two days to return it, I think I’ve been staring at the room too long and really can’t tell. Also going to fill up the bookshelves and add stuff to walls. Need advice!
Thinking of putting in some shelves for cookbooks or plants, but would appreciate any ideas! I’m planning to replace the counters and add a backsplash, and would love something that creates an end cap so the tile has a more natural stopping point.
Hey guys I’ve been working on my space and would love any and all helpful feedback and suggestions. Furniture placement, colors or shapes I should add, etc. Also if anyone knows what type of design style this is skewing I would love to know.
My sofa is a modular sectional that I broke apart recently to make the living room more conversational and lounge-y over comfort and tv vegging (I was falling asleep on the sofa too often). Console is dark espresso brown, coffee table is travertine, sofa is a muddy green, and rug is olive.
Planning on adding curtains for the balcony and potentially adding some table situation against the empty wall behind the sofa to hold my record player but not sure. I feel a bit stuck on where to go next, so appreciate the help
I just moved into a new rental and need to furnish it. Im struggling to figure out where I should place the couch and tv due to a large sliding glass door and a fireplace that will most likely go unused. If anyone could offer any suggestions id really appreciate the help.
Hi all, I'm doing interiors for my 3BHK in Hyderabad and have my first quote (image attached, details hidden). It covers a TV unit, 3 wardrobes, a modular kitchen and some misc works.
I'd really appreciate advice on:
What questions should I ask the designer before finalizing?
What should I keep in mind while reading a quote like this?
What hidden costs or add-ons do people usually get hit with later?
What should be written into the contract?
How do I make sure the materials I'm promised are what actually gets installed?
Any red flags or negotiation tips from your own experience?
Also happy to hear any mistakes you made on your own projects so I can avoid them.
Thanks a lot!
Hi everyone!
I’m teaching a high school interior design course for the first time here in Canada, and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by the software options and apps available.
We don't have access to paid professional CAD programs like AutoCAD, so I'm looking for tried-and-true free, web-based options that let students easily switch between 2D floor planning and 3D walkthroughs.
Since both my students and I are fairly new to this, I need something with a gentle learning curve that runs smoothly in a standard web browser.
A few quick questions:
What free tools have actually worked well in your practice (or classroom) or beginner projects?
Are there any free programs you'd recommend avoiding due to paywalls/export limits?
Thanks so much in advance for your help and recommendations!
I'm moving into this cute apartment in about 2 weeks, and now I have to plan my interior and guys I'm overwhelmed. So please if you have any advice please help a girl out!
This is just an idea how I thought about placing my interior, not sure about the sofa though. I need space for my bed (140x200cm) and my desk as well as a dresser in my bedroom (the dresser shown is probably bigger as it will be). In my living room I need my rowing erg and ofc some storage space as well as a wardrobe in the corridor (obv not crashing with the door as in the sketch). The kitchen is not exactly as shown, but that doesn't matter because there is simply no space for really rearranging anything. So don't focus on the kitchen area. I would like some kind of small dining table, 2 chairs would be enough, the sofa isn't necessary, as well as I don't need a TV.
My problem is that my ADHD craves an easy but organised space and I'm not sure how I can achieve that with little space. Therefore I struggle with simply picking out anything from Pinterest and realising it. Also I need ideas for wall colours. I like this "average" aesthetic clean girl interior with touches of colour and personality.
And as my current dorm room lacks organisation, color, warmth or any kind of really a personal touch and just doesn't feel like home, I now ask you for help. Thanks in advance for every kind soul trying to help me! ;)
Hi guys,
I just painted my whole room studio green. I am doubting to also paint this white wall to studio green.
Attached a photo of the room in the night.
It looks a bit dull with the white, but it does make the room a little bit lighter.
What do you think.
