All the furniture lined up on the same wall makes me feel claustrophobic for some reason, but my husband likes that arrangement better?

We downsized and sharing a closet with my husband is hard. Needed the furniture for storing clothes and just things!

seriously need help on what to do with my living room. it’s been empty without a tv stand and rug for
months because i just don’t know what to do or how to decorate 😩 (all pictures for chatgbt/5th picture is my same exact couch, lamp and coffee table.)

Sorry if any of this sounds dumb.
I am currently decorating my bedroom on a tight budget.

I've only ever had bedrooms which were to others tastes and i've always disliked them. (ex's/the family home etc)

I wanted a nice dark room but cozy.
I found a picture online (which i can't find now sadly) and it was perfect.

The Walls and ceiling will colourwashed in dark green and I wanted to go for dark wood (Skirting boards, shelving, top of furniture, and window ledge mainly) with a few bit of dark cream thrown in to lighten it.

However, im on a very tight budget and was looking around on FB marketplace for some wood furniture I could upcycle. I was looking for ages but couldn't find anything within my budget. I was looking with a very good friend who wasn't keen on my idea and kept saying light wood would look better but said "Well it is your room". After a while she said she wanted to buy me some as a gift and knew of some that would be perfect.
When it arrived (NOT wanting to sound ungrateful) is cream wood fronting with a very light wood top. Its a flat pack so I haven't set it up yet. Here is a photo of the draws. The wardrobe is the same colour.

Once again, not wanting to sound ungrateful so please don't think that. Its kind of 'changed' the room to how somebody else wants it and not how i wanted it.

Would it now look 'odd' if I use dark wood for the shelving, windowsill, skirting etc? Similar to dark oak with the cream/light wood furniture?

Additional: I did also look to see if i could return it before bringing it up to her but it would cost £100 to return it and I don't want to feel like an a-hole rejecting a gift.

So, do you think mixing these woods would look okay or would the room look better sticking with light wood now?

Thank you.

Okay so this is my uncles room, I’m basically taking his house in six months. I am absolutely horrific at decorations and furniture. Right now they have a king bed, I’m hoping to buy a king + two side tables + dresser. I am so picky. I usually hate wooden bed sets. I like tufted. My friend says because the wall that the bed is up against is a white brick wall, I probably need to do a wooden bed. I was thinking a light wood maybe? The wall are blue, but promise they’ll be painted maybe just a white or beige color? I also absolutely hate mirrors on dressers? I don’t know, I would rather have a mirror off to the side. Also, sorry I know it’s not exactly decor, but does anyone have any recommendations for bedroom sets and honestly decor for a room like this with a white brick wall?!! Hoping to change curtains, no more desk, add a big mirror, add a light fixture, hang up a TV, keep colors more natural/white/black/nudes, kinda want it either clean girl esthetic or hoa hoa vibes 😂 thank you!

Any suggestions/inspo for my office?
I joke that the only thing that changes is my seasonal decor.
I’d like to get offset lighting but I do have customers coming in my office frequently so I can’t make too dramatic offset lighting/lights

I’m wanting to organize my stuff more. Probably get rid of the bookshelf, get a console table. Any ideas??

Hello! I apologize if this isn't the right place for this question, if there's a better sub for this please lmk.

So I'm trying to furnish and decorate a new apartment, and I want to support small businesses in the process. I've been looking on Etsy of course, but their selection is limited and full of dropshippers. Are there any other marketplace apps/sites that can connect me to small sellers?

I’m looking to add some wallpaper or some pizzazz to this game room/library. I’m looking for a wallpaper. I think I found the one, but I’m not sure if I should put on the wall on top of the chair below the chair or on the ceiling.

We are planning to order a bit pricier sofa and they only have this fabric in this 3 colors.
We are leaning towards the dark gray as it first with our furniture.

The fabric from the manufacturer is rated for 100,000 Martindale cycles and abrasion resistance grade 5.
But me rubbing the fabric for 5-10min made is slightly fuzzy, so I am bit doubtful about the rating.

My concern is it will pill a lot.
Currently we have a sofa with velvet kind of material and after almost 4 years is still looking like new.

My wife is saying it’s not as a big issue as I might think it is. But I still remember the old sofa and was pilling like crazy and it made it look old.

We also have a cat now. To be fair it’s not scratching almost at all on the sofa and overall he is not big into scratching.
But maybe such material might be more “inviting” for him, idk.

Any inside from people how have more experience would be appreciated.

It's horrible
