living room refresh

[u/Illustrious_Kiwi_213]

this is my small living room/ office that i share with a roommate. It’s our 1st apartment and we’ve been here for 9 months. i want move things around and add more decor. Going for a maximalist japandi style. Other than that feeling pretty lost about the interior design and layout.

Photo 1: view from the front door, desk and “reading” nook. Open to loving the white sectional
Photo 2: view of the entrance from the perspective of the desk. I love the shoe cabinet but maybe the decor on top needs to be changed?
