I chose the desk and bookcases together because this is one long wall and I wanted the whole thing to feel intentional.

My sister came over, took one look and said the matching wood is why the room feels flat, and that I need to replace one of the bookcases with something darker.

I almost agreed, but now I keep wondering if the cool gray wall is washing out all the wood and making everything look more matchy than it actually is.

If you're changing one thing first, would you repaint the wall or break up the set?

Saw this vanity on fb marketplace for $200 and I didn’t buy it in time and it is actually haunting me daily because it’s the most beautiful vanity I have ever seen. I wish I could find the person who bought it and offer them all my money.

Am I overthinking it or is it too much green? Should I add a more neutral rug or just paint the walls warm white ? I want it to feel cozy since it’s cold where I live.

edit: the bedding is usually a maroon duvet from quince. Idk how to update the post with that pic.

I am thinking about a statement patterned upholstered headboard but they are all sooo expensive ($1k+) and I’m having a hard time finding anything in the $300-500 range that doesn’t look like a scam. Besides making my own, does anyone have any good sites or stores that have fun headboards? TY!

P.S. Its a small 3 by 4 metre space. Any suggestions to improve it further?

We're building our house, and this is our office, which is currently being painted. I've gone with Woodland Willow by Colourtrend on the walls and ceiling, and I'm hoping to create a retro, colourful, but masculine space.

I'm having a bit of a wobble now that I can see the green throughout the room, so I'm looking for some reassurance that it will all come together once the furniture and finishing touches are in!

My plan is to incorporate a walnut or teak desk, a cognac or tobacco brown leather office chair, retro artwork with rust, burnt orange, mustard and cream tones, a vintage-style patterned rug, warm brass lighting and a few vintage accessories. I'm also considering a walnut bookcase or sideboard for storage and display.

I'd love the room to feel warm, characterful, and a little bit 1970s, rather than like a standard home office. I want it to be colourful without looking too busy and masculine without being too dark or overly industrial.

What do you think of the green? Would you stick with this palette, and do you think the walnut, cognac leather, and warmer accents will work with it? Is there anything you'd change or add?

I'd really appreciate honest opinions and ideas before I start buying furniture! 😊

Edited to add: this is a southwest facing room.

I feel like I hate the striped pls make me feel better😩 or the curtains

Hello y’all !
I’ve recently moved out to my new flat and I’m working on it.
I really love Japan minimalist vibe ( yeah I know vinyl collecting and minimalism are not good friend but you know..)
Do you have any advice for improve this space.
Thank y’all !

My wife and I just bought this place. I’m looking for creative thoughts on how to set up the living area and kitchen. Thanks!

Thrifted a lot to keep depression away, now it’s time to actually work on the hard stuff and bring my room to normal.

I have a lot of clutter. I am just lost.
I don’t know how to decorate anymore ?
Overwhelmed. Very much.
Any advice,
What to get rid of, what to keep,
How to decorate / organize

I’m very obsessed with maximizing my possibilities which ultimately paralyzes me, and I feel like if I don’t get my room right it will be a very long time until I have the energy again to change it.

I took a picture of my bathroom, and outside of my room, because I have a bunch more clutter/decor that I cleared out of my room. Now you can see everything that I have accumulated.

Help !!

I initially hung them at this height and width because I didn’t wanna take away from the tray ceilings and other decorative pieces of this dining room, but I keep seeing people that hang their curtain super high to the ceiling and very far out so now I’m having second thoughts.

Hi all,

I'm stumped with this tiny house space. I want everything to flow together well, but it's difficult because the sitting area, kitchen, and exercise area are all in the same 11x12 room. I'm open to removing/replacing anything except for the exercise bike. I would also like to keep the dark wood door if there's a way to make it work stylistically. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated! How would you decorate this tiny house?

After my last two posts, I’ve narrowed it down to 5 options. The overwhelming feedback was that the original beige/neutral rug was a bit too boring, so I’ve been trying to find something with a little more colour and personality while still working with the room.

The room has:

* Cognac/tan leather sofa

* Polished concrete flooring

* Warm oak kitchen

* Olive green stools at the island

* Lots of greenery/views outside

I’m conscious I don’t want the rug to compete with the view or make the room feel too busy.

Which would you choose: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5? And is there a clear winner?

How can I improve my living room?
Suggestions please
Thankyou

Moved into a 1920s house and in the midst of a renovation involving a first floor bathroom. This bathroom will be the main bathroom for most visitors since it’s on first floor as well as shower for guest room next door. I came up w some more modern designs but this one feels more authentic for the time period. My husbands worried about grout w the hexagon floor. What do you guys think?

EDIT second pic is showing same tile but bigger but that’s just ChatGPT. I’m not considering larger hexagons if I go this route

Hi so the kitchen is open to the dining area and on the other side are chrome chairs. Does the lamp go here? I think I need different coffee table books or a tray but other than that is it ok?

I just bought a new console table, lamp and shade for my wee hall. My wife isn't sure about the lampshade...

What do we think? Green? Or what would you do with this space?

Hey guys,
I could use your advice again. How would you improve the bedroom? Where would you put the bed?

Putting it against the wall by the entrance would have the downside of being right next to the door, and putting it between the windows would mean that the nightstand might get in the way when opening the balcony door (though I should mention that I only open the door to air out the room and not to go out onto the balcony.
And yes, that means the nightstands would have to be placed in front of the windows, so to speak.

Otherwise, I’d really appreciate any further tips and ideas! :)
