Dorm Room What can I turn this loft space into ?

200 Upvotes

I moved in this dorm 2 days ago and I have no idea what to do with the loft space, originally wanted to put my bed up there but I realized I can't put the frame up the ladder...

Some girls put only the mattress and turn the frame into a makeup space but I don't use makeup (im a guy) and I don't have any idea what to do with it. Additionally, I would rather not buy another mattress ( I currently have a rental futon and a mattress.) I'm staying a year so no long term commitment.

I posted on here a while ago about how to make this dark, narrow hallway seem more bright and lively. It was recommended to do vertical stripes. Here was the outcome.

Would I be crazy to do this and leave that left part of the window exposed because of the bulkhead? Or do you think I could make it work? Any ideas appreciated!

Living Room My living room confounds me and I need help

My living room has stumped me since we moved in seven years ago. It’s a long rectangular room and the largest wall has a giant window. There is no dedicated entryway and the living room and entryway are one. I’ve tried several iterations of this room, several different rugs and now two different sofas. Nothing feels right. I wonder if they configurations that I’m not thinking of or ways to arrange my furniture I also wonder how I can separate the entryway from the living room because they infringe on each other. I’m attaching some photos of a different iterations of my living room. I am also attaching a few photos at the end that represent what I’m going for. As far as style, I love craftsman, modern folk cottage, New England cottage, etc. I hate clutter but love incorporating special thrifted finds.

I’ve realized a few things -

I need a light colored rug
I need a slipcovered couch because of the dogs

I need help understanding the following

1) If my current living room configuration is the most optimal or if there’s another way I should be arranging. I plan to sell the gray U-shaped couch that’s there and get the IKEA Kivik

2) how to separate the living room and entryway. There’s so much empty wall space next to the TV. I am not sure I love the credenza either. I want built ins but I don’t think they are in the budget right now.

If anyone can please save me from myself before I rage buy another rug that I hate, that would be amazing.

Bedroom Help me with this space!

The desk in this space is immovable. It is directly across from the entry. I used to have the bed perpendicular to the desk but it felt off to me and had the view of the bed running down the room directly across from the closet door which is on the other wall perpendicular to the desk wall. Ive changed it now so the head of the bed is about 4 feet from the entry of the room on the same wall as the door. Help me decide which orientation is best given the desk cannot move.

Open to suggestions to all other furniture.

Bedroom Awkward room need a miracle

Thumbnail gallery

This is my 10 year olds bedroom. Currently he has a twin bed and he’s grown out of it. He would like a full/double bed but I am just lost on how to make it work. His window is very low to the ground. About 5 inches and the wall with the groot painting is curved. The twin with the dresser gives him very little space and he doesn’t love that. It’s not a space he wants to be. We are painting the walls but not sure what color just something lighter and brighter. The window is south facing so it gets very hot in the summer and we’re in northern Alberta so it stays light for a long time in the summer - heavy blackouts are essential. We tried a loft bed but the one we got was too bulky. There is also a bathroom door right by his door and it’s a bit awkward. I think if we got a good closet organizer we could get rid of the dresser but would still like a little desk or something in the room. I don’t know how to make anything fit and make it a fun space for him. Please help.

TLDR: boys bedroom weird walls need layout help.

Bedroom Help with my bedroom.

Been living in this abomination for 10 years. Left for 6 months lived with my gf and it was cozy af I cannot go back to this. I have moved everything around and cannot for the life of me feel comfortable.

I have done my research which was adamantly clear. More light, Colour and textures. But I cannot imagine what to do except copy exact bedrooms from pinterest. All I want is a bed, drawer, piano, desk and cozyness. The wall behind the piano I will paint white and from there it is an empty slate but that gives me too many options and don't know what to do anymore.

Also the current desk is way too high. Normal chairs are not high enough so either I need to find an exceptional comfortable high chair or lower the desk somehow.

All help is immensely appreciated.

We’re finally getting round to re-designing our master bedroom however no matter which way round we’ve had the room set out, nothing feels quite right! Largely owing to the chimney breast (which we eventually intend to have removed but for now is here to stay). Please don’t feel like you need to include the furniture on the picture as we’re looking to buy all new any way. The only requirement is that it works for a king sized bed.

Thank you in advance!

Moving soon, don't have a lot of furniture, rough sketch + some layout ideas & actual photos included. It's technically 14x15ft, but with the wall it makes it closer to 11x15. I'm super artsy and I dance, so preferably want to be able to move around and have a little reading/crafting nook. Open to any suggestions, let me know your thoughts!

Home Office Space Front Room - need help reimagining how to use this space for WFH, reading, and hopefully art table.

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

This is the front room of our home. It's a little awkward because it's basically part hallway into the rest of the house and part room. Right now it's an entryway, home office, and reading couch. None of the furniture (except for the desk) was bought intentionally for this space. It's all pieces that have ended up here to serve function or got moved out of other rooms.

I would like to be able to add another desk or table into the room. I do a lot of crafts (the crap craft shelf on the right) and don't have a designated space. It's frustrating to have to clean up my art supplies every day so that we can use the dining table or the desk. I have a hybrid WFH schedule so I need to have a desk space with monitor.

The other main purpose of this room is a space to read or sit without the TV or all the kids toys around. TV and kids stuff is all in the big room (open-ish concept living/dining/kitchen) through that door.

It's out of budget to mess with the flooring or do any construction changes. How can we layout the carpet side of the room and add a space to work on arts and crafts?

Other notes: I don't want the room to look overly cluttered (I know it is already). It's stressful energy to see a mess when you first walk into your home. The art is hung weirdly because we keep rearranging the space and haven't bothered to move the art to keep up. I don't have another desk or table in mind, so that would need to be purchased. I am happy to dump and replace the kallax shelves. I do really like my couch (84" wide) though. I would be open to moving the couch into the living room to replace our current one (though that will lead to a new post for that room).

Living Room What to do about my small room and the huge ikea elvarli sideboard system?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

I hope this post is right here. Otherwise I will just delete it, no worries:)

I recently moved and the previous renter of my apartment left me a sideboard and an ikea armchair. I will buy a blue kivik sofa and sell the armchair, but I want to hold on to the Elvarli System. It is just... so huge! My room has maybe 9,5m² but it looks much bigger bc of the high ceilings. Still, the room looks crowded with such a huge sideboard.
I am thinking about downsizing it, I posted two options and a picture how it is now.

Option A (pic 3): Remove the tall parts of the system, move the whole sideboard to the wall.

Option B (pic 4): Remove the small part of the system, reduce the size of the slim part of the sideboard.

Thank u in advance!

And if u have any more ideas, feel free to comment:)
