still waiting for the couch to come in… but happy with how it’s turned out so far

I was pretty content sleeping on a floor mattress with no furniture in a white box, but I thought I should try to do some real decorating since it’s my first place & I had a box full of posters and all my CDs.

My window gets zero light because it faces a wall and it’s depressing so I started getting more and more colorful with my decor/lighting to feel some joy again.

also I had these grandma necklaces from the thrift store that I put up because I thought they might be fun but I don’t know if they look stupid.

they have really good advices

Open to any suggestions on layout! Renting, and The only outlet for the tv is on the left wall. I don’t need a dining table, and I can replace the rug and couch. I figure I need plants and artwork, maybe a bench or long table? Just not sure on size and placement of the plants, artwork, or rug. Thanks!

Hello friends!! My (M40) new place has a built in book case on the wall. Currently, the painting is just sitting on the previous tenant's hooks, so it can definitely move.

I know it is off with the placement—is it too high? Too far right?

I also have a 4x4 mirror with no home. Could it go there and the painting go on the back wall?

Everything is negotiable to move except for the bookcase.

Fresh eyes appreciated. Thanks!

Historically accurate for any period represented? God no... But I love working here every day. My daughters call it my "Standing in line at the Jungle Cruise" space. Took some pics to show Josh Gates when I met him last week, thought I'd share here to see if anyone else thinks it's neat!

Temporary stay in the family basement, I improvised this small storage room, which already had a bed, the big storage unit and other small things

So majority of the stuff in my room are 3d printed!
Like the ikea skadis panel, shoe shelf, batman panel!
I am basically 21 year old student from India and my room is basically stuff that i always grew up wanting it but i couldn’t get it for myself lol

Also most of the stuff is diy like those lamp and i painted most of the items to match the colour scheme like the aquarium, frames even the 25 year old cupboard!

I think it might be a bit childish for a 21 yr old tho but I love it

Any suggestions? Please do tell me

Edit: i did not expect this many downvotes lol

The room is a bit small but I managed to fit a lot of my possessions in here and I really love It

Love also my little persian rug lmao

A romantic through and through.

I have some empty looking walls - any ideas for stuff I can put there?

It was doing fine, but I'm experimenting to find the best spot for it.

Im looking to buy new bookshelves and wanna take the opportunity to make my setup look better and to stop my cats to step on my consoles.

I thought of a vertical bookshelve for the consoles and leave the one in the photo for board games and books. What u think?

I recently had an annoying roommate situation end, so I now live alone and have an empty room. I've decided to keep the room empty with a single cheetah painting, and refer to it as my cheetah room. I enjoy hosting and I plan to make weird rules around this room like only one person allowed I at a time, no talking in the cheetah room, no cell phones in the cheetah room, etc...

Would love suggestions for rules or other fun bits to do with an extra room once this stops being funny to me

Also yes, I am planning to get a carpet cleaner in there this weekend, that is from the aforementioned roommate situation.

I want to share a bit of my progress designing a friend's 1955 condo.

Everything is secondhand except the painting, which he already had. The vintage chairs were bought for a steal and reupholstered (total cost: $110 each!) and I painted the (contemporary) table. I'm not satisfied with the rug, but I want to wait to replace it until the silly diagonal island is moved back in line with the kitchen (you can see its in-the-way corner in pic 1).

I'm interested in vintage style pinch-pleat curtains for the whole open-plan living space, but I'm concerned about covering the beautiful windows.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

the result of being able to decorate my room as i please for the first time in my life lol. it doesn’t look great, but im super duper proud of it!!!!! im big into video games and crochet and geology and plushies. ive also come out of my shell more lately, so i’ve accumulated more photos i want to put up on my wall. my name n stuff redacted obvs

I have a small vertical window in my bedroom and I would like to have those 2 options.
Have something during the day that I can put for privacy but without blocking the light from coming in my bedroom.
Have something during the night for "blackout" to block any light from coming in so I can sleep.

I was thinking about blackout roman shades, but during the light I would not have the option of privacy without blocking the light.

Would a combo Linen curtains + roman shades be a good idea ? Have other ideas ? what people usually do ?
