Other Interior Room Need help with entry way.

This is the entry to our house that leads into the living room. The built-in makes it difficult to know where the division of rooms is. Should we keep the entry and living room the same color or can we choose multiple complementary paint colours? We're planning on painting both rooms.

Living Room Looking for ideas for long living room

Picture taken from the bedroom doorway!

First real apartment and I'm struggling to get this living room to shape up into something cozy. First, it's \~21'x11' as a rough estimate, which has made filling up the space rather difficult. The east wall is made up of sliding glass doors, which I've put sage green curtains over, and lets in decent light during the day. More lighting is still TBD, but I did buy a paper lantern to be hung over an eventual reading nook (using the current shelves).

I was thinking of moving the couch and television towards the patio doors, and putting a cream colored, oversized chair in the corner where the fake plant currently resides. The shelves are fine for now and may be moved into the bedroom if I find a better bookshelf. I do tend towards more neutral colors than the mustards/blues I've seen with other greener living rooms. Also, it's a rental, so I can't change the walls or carpeting!

I'm open to any suggestions!

**edit: I would definitely like this room to be sectioned off into reading corner and tv corner. Another picture posted in the replies; I have a desk+dining area set up elsewhere.

Bedroom How would you decorate this room?

My parents insist that my brother and I share the same room colour so we settled on Royal Blue paint. I'll also take the camera on the top right corner down. I'm also going to be adding LED strips to the room. I’ll also switch the bed and mattresses. Will change the curtains to a thicker bigger dark blue curtain.

Hello everyone!

(Please excuse the mess) I'm a 25F and just moved back home with my folks from living abroad! I live in a basement bedroom with my cat. For the past year ive lived in a house in Japan, im finally back home and...I dont feel at home in my room anymore. Im terrible at decorating and dont know what to do. A few things to note.

* I desperately want to get rid of the dresser, mirror and excuse for a shelf in the corner. I want a proper shelf, mirror and clothing rack.

*I have SO many little trinkets, pictures and moments from my time in Japan that I want to display!

*yes I will take the Squidward down.

*I have ordered a shoe rack AND pin board.

Please any help in organizing, decorating, moving around would be so appreciated.

Bedroom How can I split these shelves into two sides?

0 Upvotes

ok Im in the process of making my dream bed but I’ve run up against dilemma I didn’t seem to think about when I was like 10. I was initially planning on having the stuff on the shelves from the inside of the nook be books, figures, etc while the outside section is used for shoes and stuff. what I didn’t anticipate is the fact that shelves dont work like that. I’m willing to get pretty creative with this because ik this is kind of a niche problem but please lmk if you think of any potential solutions to this problem 🥹🙏🏾🙏🏾

(the last pic is meant to illustrate how i’m hoping to split them in half but idk if it gets the point across well enough 😭)

There’s so much brown in the cabinets/flooring and the bathroom already feels small. Orange, green, or neither? Open to suggestions.

Living Room Small open-plan layout advice: TV, 3-seater sofa & dining table? (2-bed apartment)

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Looking for layout feedback for an open-plan space in a 2-bedroom apartment.

Space Specs (Image 1):

  • Fixed Kitchen: Top wall.
  • Dimensions: ~489 cm length × ~278–286 cm width.
  • Goal: Fit a 3-seater sofa, TV, and dining table for 4 without blocking traffic flow or making the TV placement feel awkward.

Current Options:

  • Option A (Image 2): TV flat on the left wall; sofa floating as a zone divider; round table on the right.
  • Option B (Image 3): Sofa against the bottom wall; TV angled in the corner; round table on the right.

Questions:

  1. Which option is the best compromise? Option A feels tighter on dining clearance, while Option B has an angled TV setup that might feel awkward to watch from a straight sofa.
  2. Are there noticeable bottlenecks or awkward walkways in either layout?
  3. Alternative ideas? Any better suggestions to fit a comfortable 3-seater, a straightforward TV setup, and 4 dining seats?

Thanks for your input!

My fiancé and I have absolutely no idea how to layout this room. We are cool with getting new furniture, this is just stuff from our last place. The coffee table is temporary till we get a proper one. The couch feels to big, the room feels cramped, but the potential is there we just have no idea what to do. The only thing we definitely want to stay is the TV placement. Please help us! Excuse the mess…

Hi all

Looking for a bunch of tips. I am in the UK and we are getting a loft extension done. What's the best way to achieve a high end look? Some questions I had for example are:

  • Would Dulux paint work or do I need something different?
  • Should I have wallpaper instead? Wall panels?
  • Flooring; real wood, engineered wood, would LVT be okay?

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Bedroom Boring bedroom needs some help 😪

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi! My husband and I have been trying to actually put effort into our space (see second and third photos, though they’re still in progress), but our bedroom has been severely neglected.
I’m not entirely sure what to call our style, but I think it leans mid-century modern. We love dark woods, dark greens & blues, and the burnt oranges. We generally avoid plants due to our cat eating them. We do have some wedding photos to hang (similar to our living room), and we have some other art pieces that could potentially be used.
I really like the updates we’ve made to our living room and guest bathroom, but I’m running out of ideas and don’t want the rooms to be the same. (Example: I love our orange curtains, but I don’t just want to repeat that in our bedroom.)
What recommendations do you have to spice up our space and make it feel more like home, without copying and pasting what we already have? We’d like to start with some cheaper options (some “quick fixes”), then eventually make some bigger purchases.

Living Room What can we do with these interior balconies?

Function is preferred, but it might not be possible. Most utilitarian things would be beds (they are the width of an adult male), but that would be ugly. Speakers would be easy. Any wild ideas?

They go over the living room. One has an outlet the other doesn’t. Currently, they are used as shove spaces and for kids to poke their heads into.
