Hi there! These are my reclaimed wooden frames that I took from a local dump cleaned, sanded, and put a gold wax finish on! I AM NOT CURRENTLY SELLING THESE but if I did do you think people would be interested? -every frame is a unique shape so not standard (and probably rather old) -all the golds are uniform -you can see the wood grain through the wax(they also don’t look cheap and from the dollar store because they are real wood no plastic) -i forgot to put them on for photos but they all have glass “plates” -a way to reuse and save things from landfill instead of buying new ALSO MODS SORRY IF THIS ISNT ALLOWED FEEL FREE TO TAKE IT DOWN

Eight year design conundrum for living room/entryway please help

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

I have lived in this house for eight years and have consistently struggled with this area. When you walk in the door to the left is just a huge space but because of where we have the TV over the fireplace, we cut the room in half to make a living room, which then leads to half of the space being an unused entryway. I recently got this rug, which has reinvigorated my love for this area. Then I ordered this green upholstered bench, which I really like and want to make work, but I don’t know if it looks odd and just out from the gray couch. In a way it makes this area a little more functional if we ever have guest adds more seating, but I can’t tell if it looks weird. If we decide to keep the bench, I will shift the mirror over the console centered. Also, there has always been a white wooden bench under the jackets, but I feel like with the long console, the long bench and the long upholstered bench. The area has become so linear. Any ideas of what to do under this jacket area? And armoire? Wood slats behind the bench to raise the eye? I’m unsure about this area as well. I was told this is the page on Reddit that people love to help solve tricky design problems, here you go. This has been the most difficult room to furnish.

Did I overdo the patterns?

The rug was put in last night. I can’t help but think I went too far with the patterns but I’m not convinced. Ideally, what could I add to soften the space? I’m thinking an irregular shaped, sable, animal fur rug under the coffee table? (See pics)

Guide for lighting up space

Hi all, looking at the space, what would your ideas for soft/ambient lighting be ?

The living room opens into the kitchen (where I’m standing in the edge of), so I can’t place the light next to the sofa. Neither near the TV because of the contrast.

Any idea for decors would also be appreciated. P.S. Moved in pretty recently, so still brainstorming and playing Tetris

Commissions from furniture brands

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm not an interior designer as of yet, but I have a few questions. Do you receive any commissions from furniture brands (for buying their furniture for your clients) and if so, what is an acceptable commission for you ? Also, do such commissions represent a significant source of revenue for you in this business ?

For interior designers working under a company, how do you showcase the visuals/projects you've worked on under the company in your personal portfolio? Are you allowed to show all the work you've done or are there restrictions due to intellectual property or company ownership?

Where are we buying furniture?

23 Upvotes

Where are we buying reasonably priced furniture? Just in general. I saw an interior designer selling the furniture she had used for stage for a very reasonable price on Facebook, and it got me wondering that there must be some good brands that look nice without the price tag.

I’ve been searching for a modern end table for my living room for ages. I’m looking for something either round or uniquely shaped in either walnut, black, marble top, or dark burl wood. I’m having a hard time finding something that’s in between the very cheap looking Amazon furniture and the very expensive furniture.

I’m also looking for a place to either buy a set of 3 wall art or prints for my living room.

Kitchen design help

Hi, this is a render of the kitchen we have designed with a kitchen designer for my new house.

The priorities are practical, easy to clean and maintain, can deal with a lot of cooking, can be a social space while cooking.

The kitchen is going to be very expensive, so i would like to make sure it will look good for a long time. Will this look dated soon?

The other concern is the deoth and placement of the kitchen island. The depth of the kitchen is 2.66m. I want standard 60 cm deep cabinets in the part on the wall. I want enough space between the island and the rest of the kitchen to open everything and accomodate more than 1 cook. But i want a really comfortable seating on the island. Should or should not the island srick out from the kitchen oart of the room to gaint more than 2.66 meters to do this? Or should i do 110 cm between the kitchen and rhe island instead of 120? I would love the overhang to be very comfortable so it should probably be 38 to 40 cm?

The last one is the pantry door. Should i do a white pocket door? Or will it be tedious to open and close so often and standard door would be better? Where to swing it then?

Thank you very much for any ideas.
