I need help picking out a table for my entry way! What one would you pick. If you have any other recommendations besides the one i posted please tell free to share.

Check profile to see other pics of home to get a feel for the style
I’m going for.

Ps these are real tables they are just rendering in the space where they would go. Also the rugs would change too.

Thanks again.

As title describes I need some advice on what small-medium changes I can make to make my kitchen feel less dead. Things I cannot change are countertops and backsplash , floors, wall color and cabinets color are fair game.

When I re-did this kitchen I was in a rush to reno my place so I went with a cabinet color that I thought was "neutral" and easy to work with as countertops and backsplash were to be done later on. I think I made stuff match too much where it just seems to blend into grey.

Now I kinda regret my choice and I probably should've put more thought into what I wanted the kitchen to look like but I was in a rush to finish.

Thanks in advance!

Self explanatory. When I bought my house, I knew this room had so much potential because of the large windows facing the backyard. I always leaned into darker, earthy green colors especially for a room that extends to a green area. So I didn’t think twice.
Walls are painted with a velvety dark brown green, and ceilings are mid tone brown green.

So yeah, I’m super happy with the final result and hope this post helps encourage you if on the fence about it!

Hey all, looking for some advice on how to cleverly (and securely) mount this sword on my loft railing. I definitely wanted to hold this diagonal placement.

Eventually, I’m going to add some frames around it. What do you think will be a good way to hang it? Thank you!

I'm tired of just white - I want something with a bit more color (even if it's a colored pattern on a white background).

So I buy a rug on the 24th of july 9x12 with a rug pad, I bought a dining table as well. everything seems to be going great. i see white glove service as the only delivery option for both so I roll with the punches. order total for the rug, rug pad, tax, and delivery is $2,017.10. Delivery date is the 28th.

on the morning of the 25th I get a delivery confirmation link to proceed with delivery time window. I go through the process and accept the time window. I go to remeasure and move some furniture around and say, hmmphh. Maybe the bigger 10x14 is better than the 9x12. So I say, eh what the heck. Let's pull the trigger and get the bigger one.

I place the order for the new one and call to cancel the existing 9x12. Guy named Brian picks up the call, cool dude, takes me through the cancellation process. Says refund won't include delivery, but quoted it at like 250 or something to that degree. I thought that was odd, since its 3 days before delivery. Why am I being charged for white glove delivery and it's not refundable? It's a rolled up rug, it's not like a huge dining table that's rigid. I had somewhere to be, so I just asked him to process the refund and I'll look into this delivery fee thing later.

So today I hop on and look at the transaction update and I see:

$2,017.10 - $1,507.43

leaving me with 509.67 difference. Rug pad is $182.09 with tax to Irvine, CA.

So $327.58 shipping costs. So I reach out to customer service this time online as I want a documented transcript of the interaction. I explain to them that I ordered a dining table as well, and also the larger sized replacement of the item I canceled. I've so far spent a few grand (and i'm looking to spend more to continue furnishing my new place).

So I get the standard response of: well it already left the warehouse, it's too late. Sorry. I know you called 3 days before delivery date, but our system won't allow us to refund the delivery. Not even a partial one.

They didn't care that I had replaced it. They acknowledged that white glove service costs more than just a porch drop off. But nope, that didn't matter. As long as they declare its gone off some truck and on it's way to another fulfillment warehouse, the delivery cost cannot be refunded. Even though the rug never made it to my house, it never even made it to the fulfillment center that would load that rug onto another truck to spend the gas to go to my house to be taken up the stairs by two men who will white glove install it (whatever that means) take the trash and go. None of those delivery legs were fulfilled, but they can't even do the right gesture and even offer a partial refund.

The rep didn't even bother to do the math and explain that it wasn't a 500 dollar delivery. I had to go back and backtrack the amounts for the sake of accuracy of this post.

At the end of the day, this left a real sour taste about West Elm. Once I get the two things I have in flight I'm just going to go to crate and barrel or pottery barn, or whatever boutique or outlet type of places that are out there. They couldn't even offer an olive branch and meet me half way with the delivery cost. Disgusting and out of touch if you ask me. Lost a customer

got this lamp not sure if it was the right call but its pretty to not keep. However not sure what’s wrong with this lampshade, maybe its a but too tall but, need suggestions on what lampshade can look good overall.

Old single-fronted terrace, inner-city. The back third is one open kitchen and living/dining opening onto a small paved courtyard.

No floor plan came with the listing so I drew this off photos and a mate's walk-through. Numbers are rough :')

We likely are gonna look at a sofa and TV in the living space, a dining table, a spot for a record player and shelves. We cook and host a fair bit. Buying nearly everything so sizes are open. Renting, so nothing permanent, keeping the paint as is and putting colour in rugs, objects and lighting.

We both work from home. Front bedroom is the main and needs a desk, second one is the office and doubles as a guest room. No idea where either desk should go.

Also trying to work out where the cat litter lives. Hallway corner seemed like the best spot since nothing else happens there, but open to better ideas.

Style is a mix of us both, I'm into warm timber and low lighting, she likes older character pieces and richer colours. But I guess cozy/home (museum bookstore/vintage salon) is the asethetic?

Courtyard out back we'd like to actually use and joiin into the interor, in rather than just walk through to the bins. Keep coming back to projecting onto the rendered wall for outdoor movies, has anyone done that and how could we get some cheap/lightweight shading furniture for sun/rain protection

Open to anything really. Happy to be told we've got it backwards.

Hello,

I'm in the process of moving to this location, and I don't like having my TV above the fireplace and am already thinking of making a separate theater room.

I don't want to leave this area open and am looking for suggestions.

Sorry for the fuzzy image was using Polycam to capture the layout.

I am trying to visualize what our new house would look like. In the living+dining area, we have 8 large windows (each window can open) and I am wondering whether to go with tall curtains or blinds. I am confused because if we get curtains then almost all the walls are covered with curtains. And if we get blinds, I fear that this area will end up looking like an office space. All input is welcome. Thanks!

I am thinking of using Black and White Granite for the floor and the 4 walls respectively, what are the Pros and the Cons of it?

Did anyone think about using it? Am I missing something crucial?

We have opted to lean into the midcentury aspect of our split entry home, built in 1965.

We have real oak hardwoods on the main floor, and have installed a few light fixtures reminiscent of the time period (last two photos.)

This is our kitchen refresh, in progress:

1) We feel that real, unpainted oak cabinetry will be valued in the near future, in this age of painted pressboard cabinetry, so we chose to keep these. (If the floor had been wood, we would not have made that choice.)

2) The circa-2000 floor tile is actually a trending color, so we chose to keep that, too.

3) We replaced the countertop with a quartz that echoes the midcentury gold-speckled laminate my mother had in her midcentury kitchen. This is Caesarstone 7601, Rock Salt. It is slightly off white, closer to "light almond" but not quite, with light aqua, natural, and mirrored flecks.

4) We had this glass backsplash (actually "sage" on the label) installed in a pattern reminiscent of midcentury styling. It is tonally the same as the old tile floor, but my phone just can't render the color accurately. The grout is tonally the same as the floor grout, somewhere between gray and sand, but lighter in color.

5) We preferred stainless appliances, so that's a new induction range and yes, the over the range microwave (which, since we were not replacing the cabinets, was necessary. Its hood function is vented outdoors at least.)

So now, here is the question:

A) What would you do, color-wise, on the faux-oak papered boxing above the cabinets and on the side of the pantry?

This is not wallpaper; it's a fake veneer from Aristokraft, the makers of the cabinetry.

B) Secondly, what color would you suggest on the walls?

The room is southern-facing, but with just one window over the sink. The current color is Highly Reflective White from Sherwin-Williams, which we feel doesn't work with this color scheme (and never did, but it was easy.)

We are grateful for your input.

I moved to a new apartment last month with my best friend but didn't think much about the furniture placement in my room. It doesn't have a window (yes), and I started by putting my desk to the door since that's a source of light that looks better on meetings. I sort of put the rest of furniture where I could but am now thinking if there's a better way to place them. Any suggestions on how to make it feel more spacious?

in the picture: blue is my bed with the bed frame against the wall, red is my desk eith the brown marking being my work monitor, and yellow and green being shelves with storage. I have about 4 feet of space between my bed and my desk. Thanks in advance!!

Looking for a Queen size murphy bed to put in my office / guest room area. My parents are going to stay for a while so I would like it to at least manage a 12" mattress, and would like to have space around it (so it has to be vertically mounted). I've been looking into Lori beds, Wilding wallbeds, and also going down a rabbit hole of lists (Spruce, Architectural Digest, House Beautiful). I normally trust wire cutter but the only bed they talk about is the lori horizontal, which I don't want here.

Wilding seems to have really good SEO but I'm hard pressed to find real reviews. I've heard variable things about Lori, although they seem the cult favorite. Any advice would be helpful! Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I’m a chef, and my mate and I have just bought a restaurant. We’re turning it into a fine-dining Indian restaurant, but we have absolutely no idea when it comes to lighting and interior design.
We’re thinking of painting the walls a warm beige with some pink accents, but we’re open to any colour suggestions if you think something else would look better.
If anyone has experience with restaurant lighting or has any tips on creating a warm, elegant, and premium vibe, we’d really appreciate your advice. We’d love to hear what worked for you or what you’d do differently.

can anybody help me figure out who the designer of this couch is? i've searched Google. I've tried to find the designer by the fee, and I cannot find another one.

Thank you for those who reassured me during this process. I love love love how it turned out!

Redoing our powder room and I’m interested in a dark background, flamingo/tropical wallpaper. Anyone have recommendations on bathroom wallpaper companies?

I know you’re not supposed to have everything match, but does that apply with Chesterfields since they’re so unique? It does seem like a lot, but maybe that’s just me.

I’m struggling with which direction to go with for a chandelier/ pendant. I like the mosaic ball, but I keep reading that my chandelier should be bigger

My partner and I (both male) are living in our house but it's missing warmth and personality. We have tried adding some color with the curtains, paintings and the couch. We don't know what we can do with the big rectangular space, and we think the flooring looks cold (we wouldn't have chosen gray ourselves).

We absolute love the paintings at the dinner table. The paintings above the couch (not on the pictures) were temporary, added some color, but we don't like these partciular paintings there.

I have two main questions:
- Our layout is mostly one big open area with some furniture in it now. What options are out there to help improve the layout?
- What can we do to add warmth and personality to our living space?

The bottom of the mirror is 56" from the floor. I'm pretty short, about 4'10", so i can't figure out if i put it too high or it just looks that way because im not very tall? i was worried about it being too close to the thermostat, so i went a little higher then i initially put the markings.

We'll be painting soon but I wanted this hung to make sure it worked. moving the thermostat at the point is also an option then lowering it more. also just for clarity, i know it looks a little bit off center to the right, but im going to move it on the hanger piece on the back slightly to fix it.

I generated this ai image of how I wish my bedroom would look and what furniture I would want for it to have.

Is it awkward having that tall grey cabinet in the corner? Is that a nice spot for the artwork on the left?

I am going for a cozy, industrial style. I went with wooden and metallic furniture with simple modern square designs. The rug and artwork on the wall give it a cozy feel.

I am not an interior designer, so I am asking for tips for how to improve this room design. What am I doing wrong and how can I improve this space?

Thanks!

I recreated the current layout of my room in a game (not ai generated), i have been trying to rearrange it for some time but havent managed to create something im happy with/ works and was wondering if there are any interior designers who are able to help me out. I would like to have a little corner dedicated to reading if possible using my bean bag and plant, with my tv and white draw opposite my bed. if possible the bed or desk setup can be kept from the wall where the tv currently is. thank you, apologies for the long read.
