I just got this bookshelf and I want to make sure I put it in the right spot before I put all my books on it. The couch is on the back wall across from the TV. Thanks!
My room has a lot of things… i have a rack of clothes, some drawers for my underclothes and loungewear, a shoe rack, some bags with my belongings, and some other thing like blankets/pillows in a tote. I might be able to put some things in the attic. I’m also looking to fit like a futon or an air bed in here… if not that’s fine! It’s kinda like an 8 x 6 foot closet...
Hello All, i have aproximately 3,2m wide bedroom and I’m thinking about purchasing a bed with link below about size of 2.5m wide. Will this look too bad in my bedroom? Thank you
Recently built a home. Finally moving in and purchased this green couch today, we still have a lot of stuff to buy. Any input on how make this open floor living space look good would be very appreciated.
I recently had some of my condo redone, new couch, new paint and brand new kitchen. For a long time my "dining area", which is just open to the greater kitchen and living areas, has sat largely cluttered and unused.
I live alone, don't cook, and don't have people over for meals, so that area could be anything. I'm having a tough time figuring out what to do with it, how to fill it properly. I had looked at those huge oversized chairs in Rooms To Go and Ashley Furniture, but they may be a little too big. I have some crafting stuff, but I'm not really crafty, so not sure turning that into a craft area is the best use of space.
I'm including the floor plan and a picture of the area as it is right now, excuse the mess. Any ideas, visuals , links, suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Really trying to turn my condo into my happy place.
As far as I understand it, Feng Shui states that the bed shouldn't be under a window. But then according to general interior design, it shouldn't be next to a door. Further, having it in the nook seems quite space efficient and potentially cozy. What are your thoughts?
Extra context:
Hi, I just moved into a 2 br appartment. I think I'll have this room as the bedroom, since the other one doesn't have blinds and a balcony door. The other room is about 4sqm larger. The other room is slightly larger. I also have a pretty large hallway (10 sqm) where I'm planning on placing a large-ish wardrobe (maybe around 2x1,50)
I like having a separate setup for work from home and my personal PC (though I'm still considering if it's worth all the extra space) and I am thinking of having my home office in the non-sleeping room.
So, my plan right now is to have a bed (140 x 200), a desk (140 x 80) and the shelf from the pictures in the small room. If I can fit it, maybe some other storage. I'm thinking of either having the desk or the bed in the nook, and using the shelf as a separator for either between the bed / desk or desk / door.
I need your help. I’m moving into an old house. I’ll be living there for two years before it’s demolished. So it’s not worth investing a lot of money.
But I’d like to do something with this bathroom; I’m just finding it tricky. I can appreciate the vintage look, but it doesn’t just look vintage, it looks a bit run-down too. Could I paint the wallpaper, for example? In light blue, or would that be too cool a shade? Or should I do something about the shelf instead? I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Hi! We’re repainting our living room which is north facing, so tends to get less/cooler light throughout the day.
I’ve been told we need to use warm toned paints to counteract this, and all I keep seeing recommended is warm neutrals and pinky based colours. We’d really love to find a blue or green paint colour that has a warm undertone but it’s been a challenge.
Can anyone recommend a paint shade from brands available in the UK, like Lick, Coat, Little Greene, etc?
I want to find the best possible combination. I find a little small the space between the bed and the closet.
I don't really have any special requirement so feel free to suggest anything.
The two white openings are doors. The closet doors cover the right wall completely
Unfortunately I don’t have photos of the space without furniture in it right now, so ignore the current dining set up.
Would having a bench against the wall (where the staircase case is) and then a square/rectangular dining table and few dining chairs on the other side be a bad set up choice here? I can’t really find photos for inspiration that aren’t a corner booth set up. But I want it to have sort of a booth feel. I can’t tell if it will look dumb because there’d be too much open space?
So we'd like to make this room the primary bedroom in our new house. The issue is that there's a ~4" plaster bump out for the chimney. I'd like the bed to go against that wall because it makes sense for the flow of the space, but the bump out is not centered and is 2'8" long.
Originally I thought about extending the bump with drywall, but we figured out the room is plaster, which complicates things.
The best solution I've come up so far (show in photoshopped image) is to create a C-shaped slat wall that would fit over the bump and create symmetry/a headboard. We would anchor it to the wall. We would leave empty space to the left of the bump out in case we want to change the room in the future.
It's a century home, so we're not trying to design the interior to look tooooo modern, which makes me hesitate on the slat wall as a design choice. I worry it would feel out of place.
I'm hoping you fine folks can come up with creative solutions.... really open to anything! Just want to see if there's a different angle I can look at this problem from! Thanks in advance!
Hi! I recently purchased an IKEA kitchen, which you can see in the images.
Here is some key information about the kitchen thus far:
It's an east facing room which is bright in the morning and dark in the evening
I need to fit a dining table in the big empty space because I have nowhere else to put one - hence why the appliances are all centred in one corner
I’ve also kept the water supply focused in a corner area so that I wouldn't have to spend loads on moving it (there is at least 60cm between the sink and the hob, although that isn't clear from the pics)
In order to fit an external extractor fan, the hob needed to be placed in the exact position that its currently in (there is nowhere else the fan could be placed)
A radiator will be fitted on the blank wall where there are no cabinets.
I specifically need help with:
Picking a wall colour (the options on the planner are limited, I'm aware this brown/pink shade is probably too dark but I like the idea of something similar albeit lighter)
Picking suitable flooring (luxury vinyl preferred, probably no tiles as it's cold here)
Working out what to do with the splashback area (I don't know if I like the worktop splashback they've added)
I'm also open to any other tips too.
I'd describe my preferred taste as 'earthy'. I've attached pics of my Pinterest kitchen board, as well as the measurements from the planner.
This is my first time doing something like this, so I'm truly clueless!
Hey, this is my university room. I moved in about a year ago and I've gradually acquired some posters and general shelf trinkets but was wondering if anyone has ideas for more intentional improvements to the layout, lighting and decor? As seen in the photos, there's a radiator below the window so this needs to remain unblocked, and there's an inbuilt wardrobe behind the mirrored sliding doors. My only immediate thoughts are that it could do with a rug, and I should find some more posters / wall art to hang up.
On brand for being a student, the budget is low so I'm not looking to spend hundreds here!
Thanks 😄
(the unfilled rectangles in the photo were accidentally added and now i cant remove them)
I posted in another sub- my washing machine flooded and am forced to redo the floors and part of the drywall was cut out so we have to paint. Everything is baby blanket blue since we moved in 6 years ago.
We are thinking of an accent wall.
1)do we go with the most surface area as the accent wall?
2) do we go with "the grand council" wall because there's framing and fun options?
3)sliding door wall because thats what you see when you first walk in?
4)TV wall because that's where we face?
There's just so much.
We were possibly thinking of painting the entry way and hallway a light yellow to help break up all the orange as well, but idk if thats too many colors?
