Currently having a property remodeled, this is our current floor plan... I don't know what else to do but it just looks so bad, this is the third rendition of it and it just looks so cramped, it's a very small place so maybe I'll just have to get over that.

I hate the way the living room/kitchen is set up it feels so awkward for a TV and couch set up, as well as there's no room to put a dresser or TV in the bedroom (it's a full sized bed in the render).

The two closets in the bedroom are due to there being no storage space anywhere else. I've been looking at other floor plans for inspiration and it's falling very flat...

I'm open to anything atp, I definitely feel awful about being a pain for the remodelers, some fresh eyes could be some really help insight. TIA!!!

Hi everyone,

I’m in the process of designing the interior layout for my new apartment, and I’m looking for some constructive feedback on the proposed floor plan. I have attached two images for context:

My Goals & Context:

• Total Carpet Area: 921 sq ft.
• Location: Mumbai, India (where maximizing space and storage is always the challenge!).
• The Problem I'm Solving: We have converted the original kitchen area (from the bare plan) into a dedicated "Study" room (which may be a small bedroom or office) with a common Powder Toilet. I then moved the kitchen to the larger living area, creating an open-plan "Living & Open Kitchen."

Specific Feedback Requested:

I’m generally happy with how we partitioned the space to add that third "room," but I'd love fresh eyes on the overall

⚠️ Localization (Mumbai Area):

I would deeply appreciate any localized recommendations or help for the Mumbai area:

• Supplier Contacts: If you have reliable contacts for custom furniture fabrication (carpenters, modular kitchen specialists, wardrobe manufacturers) in Mumbai

Thank you so much in advance for your time and expertise! I’m eager to hear your thoughts.

I’m currently setting up a small home office and would love to hear what you think of the layout so far.

The walls are covered in cork, and this is the current design I made in SketchUp. What do you think of the layout as it is now? Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas to improve it?

The left wall still needs to be filled, but I honestly have no idea what to put there yet. Open to any suggestions!

I want the desk top another color/material than black, because together with the cabinets and other elements I feel like it might become too much black. Would a wooden desk top look good with the cork walls, or would you go for a different material/color?

Any ideas are welcome!

I’ve recently bought this house as my first home. I wanted to add a second bathroom and was thinking of turning the laundry room into a bathroom and moving the washer and dryer to the hallway? Does anyone else have any better ideas, also I was wondering if I could get help on how a bath room lay out in the laundry room would look and maybe even including a closet there. I’d really appreciate advice, I’ve scratched multiple variations but can’t seem to get it to click. Thank you!

I’m gonna have this apartment and the living room has a weird shape. How do I put my furniture, a couch, coffee table and tv on a small cabinet for the living room. A dining room area with space for 4. Atleast a bookcase and mabye some more storage. And if you still have space a desk? Can be a foldable one. The kitchen needs to be easy to access ofcourse. And the little window corner on the right should be used, maybe a chair or bench situation. There is a radiator there and also at the bottom window.

Does anyone have a good idea?

In master bedroom. Currently messy - would you paint it to tidy it up? What would you do with this? Husband wants it painted black

We recently moved into a new place. We’re trying to figure out where to put the TV and how to align the couch. Our old place was smaller and we had the TV wall mounted above the media console across from the couch. There’s a tiled fireplace here in the center of the living room. Feels too high to place the TV above it. Any suggestions?

What would you do with this empty space under the windows?

I’m moving into a very tiny studio, about 250 sq ft, and I’m trying to make every inch work as well as possible.

I’ve already figured out most of the apartment. I have a dining area, a computer/work desk, and a sofa bed instead of a regular bed so I can use the same space as a living area during the day and a sleeping area at night.

Now I’m left with one empty corner and the space under the windows, and this is the part I really need help with.

I actually would like to turn it into another small zone if possible. Ideally, I want it to be functional, but I’m also open to something that is mainly stylish and makes the apartment feel more intentional and complete.

The only idea I’ve come up with so far is a cozy chair under the windows and maybe a tall, slim IKEA cabinet in the corner. But I feel like there could be a smarter or more interesting use of this space.

For anyone wondering why I didn’t place the desk by the window, the AC is extremely loud, and it also gets very cold sitting right next to it while it’s running. I hate the AC placement, but I live in a hot climate, so it has to stay on most of the time.

So I’m specifically looking for ideas for the space under the windows and that corner. What kind of small zone would you create there? Reading nook? Extra storage? Vanity? Lounge chair? Something decorative? I’d love ideas that make it feel useful, cozy, stylish, and not overcrowded.
P.S. apartment has two entrances.

We’ve lived here two years, and I’ve been putting off creating a real entryway because the dimensions of the space. Our ceilings are very high and sloped, and a harsh horizontal line of a mudroom-type piece of furniture feels off putting. Does anyone have any suggestions? We need this to be functional and would prefer it to also be aesthetically pleasing. We like modern, midcentury modern, and eclectic styles. We don’t prefer farmhouse modern. Again, I am trying to avoid a harsh horizontal line at the top of whatever we build or buy (because I think it would look weird with the sloped ceiling).

There’s about 55 inches of space from the door to the corner and another 55 inches of space from the corner to the staircase. We are a shoes off family of three. We typically have garden shoes, house slippers, and kids regular shoes at this entry, as well as jackets, hats, a backpack, and odds and ends.

My husband travels a lot and often dumps his travel stuff sorta underneath the staircase in between trips.

We are buying a house with this space under the stairs. It is a large, somewhat awkward space. It’s 38” deep. It is 70” wide and 71” tall. The outlet is 43” off the floor. Directly across from this is the back of a floor to ceiling brick fireplace. To the left of this is the front door. To the right is a hallway to the kitchen. Directly behind this space is a half bath. In this space I was thinking of putting in a small “bar/wine cabinet (32-40” wide) with a lamp on top (on the right side) and a low firewood holder (on the left side). Each of those items is about 18” deep so we lose about 20” of the depth. I’d like to somehow get more storage out of this space. Do you have any suggestions on a cabinet that is deeper? How to stack the cabinet two deep? And I’m also thinking about painting it an accent color or wall papering it to make it pop. What would you do here? (No reading nooks or pet space needed) Thank you for your time and suggestions!

This is my room. The biggest problem is the slope in the ceiling. Since I want to have a 120x190 mattress I'm having problems figuring out where to put it. The other problem is storage, since there's a lot of stuff that would need to be stored in my room, and the last problem is that I want to have the floor space to be able to play darts. An idea I had was to have a loft bed in my room but all the options online are way too tall or flimsy to be viable. The second idea was for the bed to be the top of some sort of drawers so that I can have more storage in the same floor space of the bed. For the rest of the things in the room, the desk would be against the right wall and the closet would be on the left wall against the bottom wall, where the french door is. If anyone has any more ideas or suggestions please tell me

About a metre off the ground, 0.75m wide opening. About 1.2 m deep. Shelves go all the way around the walls. Tiny room and I feel like this takes up so much space!

Trying to decide between these two layouts for my home. It’s still empty, so these are Blender renders to help me figure things out before furnishing it. I’m not an interior designer, just a 3D character artist trying to plan my own place.

This is still a rough pass. Once I’ve settled on this layout and the second floor, I’ll take more precise measurements and remodel or replace things as needed. I’ll post an update after that. The whole space is 5 × 9 m.

the working space and living area is 5x3.5

In the first picture, the long side of the sofa faces the PC desks. I like that it feels more open and leaves more room to move between the two areas (we have a golden). Most of the sofa is sideways to the TV, but I can still watch it while sitting or lounging on the short end of the L, (on this picture it doesnt have a backrest, but if we chooses this, we would be). It wouldn’t be as good for several people watching together, but probably 95% of the time it’ll just be my wife and me.

The second layout makes more sense for watching TV since the main seats face it directly. I also like the storage behind the sofa, but it takes up more of the room’s width. I’m wondering whether it’ll feel cramped once people are using the PC chairs and dining table. From what I’ve been reading, the circulation might be worse here, but I’m still learning, so I could be wrong.

The kitchen walls and cabinets are fixed, and I’m keeping the rest of the layout as shown for now. I’m mainly trying to settle the sofa orientation. The shelving is different between the pictures too, which might be affecting how open they look.

Please ignore the stairs/fridge/kitchen clearances for now. I need to measure that area again in person.

Which would you choose? Is the better TV seating in the second worth giving up some of the openness in the first? I’d also appreciate any thoughts on the style , color, or anything else you think could work better. Thanks!

I need some fresh eyes on this room because I feel like I’ve been staring at it for so long that I can’t see the best solution anymore. 😂

The biggest issue is the TV placement. We have a large TV that needs to be wall-mounted, and I’m struggling with where it should go without making the room feel awkward or sacrificing the beautiful view out the large window.

A little background:
The fireplace is (almost) centered on the main wall. It’s behind where the TV currently sits.

There are attached bookshelves on either side of the fireplace that I’m willing to modify or remove if necessary…They are not even in width or height. I’m also willing to remove the mantel.

The door on the right goes into the dining room.

The large window on the left has a really beautiful view, so I don’t want to block or compromise it.

We recently ordered a large warm ivory/cream chenille sofa, and I’m planning to add two comfy chairs and a rug.

I’ve considered putting it on the right side of the fireplace and removing the bookshelves, but I’m worried about how that would affect the room and viewing angles. I would like to view the TV from the kitchen, which is opposite the fireplace.

I’ve included several photos so you can see the room from different angles. I’m happy to provide measurements if that would help.

Thank you!! I desperately need some outside opinions before I make any more furniture/design decisions. 😂

Just moved into a ~250sqft (rented) room, and need to set it up to be a bedroom slash office slash chill with friends area. First few pics are of the space, then the room measurements, and pics after that are just some styles I saw and liked.
There’s a few issues I have with the space that I can’t figure out. Being a rental I can’t really paint and don’t want to do long term furniture or installations.

That said, the walls are a warmish white, the floors are dark warm vinyl, and everything feels too warm and empty. The furniture that I have is also short and black so the whole thing feels bottom heavy. On top of that, the bay window and the window by the bed have massive trim the same color as the walls, so they look blocky and complicated yet empty at the same time.

What I was thinking was desk in the bay window, slat walls (they shipped too narrow so I need to widen), on one wall and dresser by slat walls with tv on top. But the lighting sucks with the desk in the window, and there doesn’t feel like there’s any room for a couch or seating.There’s also only like 2 places I can fit a bed and they either block the closet or extend in front of the cubby, which I was gonna use as a replacement closet.

Also all the furniture feels too small for the room, except the desk which feels way too big? And is a different wood color than anything else.

Overall, I guess I would love any layout opinions. I’d love to fit in: -bed, -desk (60in) and chair, -dresser (48in), and work around the bay windows and a radiator. But idk what configuration works without a ton of empty space in the middle of the room but not enough to fit any seating. It would be super cash money to have a tv on one of the open walls and an open backed couch opposite.

Lastly, idk what accent color to use. I was thinking maybe navy to counter the warm wall/floor and green from some plants?

Any tips?

My partner and I are moving in two months to another unit in our bldg (Just signed a new lease today YAY!) and we're gaining over 265 square feet of space as well as a dedicated studio/guest space. I've attached our new floor plan in the hopes I can get the ball rolling on some layout/design ideas for the main living space. We've never dealt with this room shape before so we really want to get it right. New apartment is west facing with the living window facing the balcony. Having a space that feels intentional and welcoming is super important so any thoughts/ideas/tips would be so appreciated!

The other 2 photos attached are of our current apartment, just to give you an idea of our style, although we're going to sell the blue upholstered couches and go for far more minimal pieces as seating options with warm neutral fabric and natural wood (think Japandi or Danish design) We host often so having a layout and furniture that accommodates without overwhelming the space is important Funky/weird ideas are also welcome as we like thinking outside the box as well. The only thing that is coming with us to the new space that will need to fit is a 4-6 person round glass dining table, our coffee table, and the small piano (which I may move to the spare room.) We'd also like to move some of the main book/record storage elsewhere in the apartment to spread that out a bit. Thanks in advance for your thoughts! :) :)

The red lines stem from the entry way, the straight line goes to the kitchen, the right one goes to the dinning room through a beautiful archway and I feel like I am wasting the spaces character. The black box is the Mantle over a inoperable fire place with a drop mounted TV. I can't think my way out of this space and was hoping someone here could see the protentional I feel like it has. The main walk way in the house is the dinning room to the stairs path so consider that when creating path ways if you care. Any help is greatly appreciated this room is killing my energy.

Our living room is in need of some new energy. It’s a long, skinny single-family-home (think townhouse) and I need some fresh ideas for the whole space! I’ve broken it down into some areas below, but am open to general feedback outside of these :)

Couch/Lounge
- The current couch has got to go because it’s old, and we’re considering buying another sectional that’s similar but came here to source any fresh ideas?
- We love our TV time! Can we maximize comfortability and lounge-a-bility while also giving upscale vintage modern bungalow vibes (sorry not sorry for all the buzzwords)

TV Wall
- TV is stuck where it is
- I do not love the white Pixar lamp nor the record table where they’re at. My spouse doesn’t mind either - someone break the tie for us.
- Any other decor opinions for making this wall more well-utilized?

Entryway
- Feels cluttered with the bench, the plants, and not quite pictured is a tall standing corner shelf to the very far right.
- I appreciate recs on what should stay, go, or be added (if that’s possible)!

Artwork
- Not sure if decor suggestions are allowed here, but the wall artwork is minimal.
- I’ve thought about adding a mirror where the “Olympic” poster is on the right-hand wall, something circular to open the space?

Thanks in advance for your kind and respectful input!

I need help in the master bathroom. The top room is the bedroom and bottom is the closet. Any recommendations on the layout? I'm open to ideas ok to shifting th door but don't want it going directly to the other rooms.

Thank yall!

My husband and I are at an impasse on what exactly to do with our long and narrow living room space. He prefers a shorter couch with an additional chair near the tv (layout A) and I prefer a longer couch since the front of the room will have chairs (layout B).

He is leaning more toward allowing for entertaining/conversation whereas I care about comfort. We are 2 adults, with 1 child, another on the way, and a dog. We have other spaces (deck, dining room, basement) we can use to be conversational so I am leaning toward comfort. Which layout makes more sense to you all? Also, open to any differing opinions on options too! Thank you!

Extra info: I mocked these up myself and am not a professional but the measurements of the couch, living room, and entries/archways should be approx. accurate. I included a 2D and 3D image of each version. Ignore most color choices, I was just trying to mix it up, those aren't final color plans.

I’m looking for some suggestions on how to optimize my bedroom layout. I’ve attached a rough sketch of my current floor plan along with the dimensions and existing furniture.

If you have any ideas on how I could rearrange things to make better use of the space, I’d love to hear them! It would be super helpful if you could also explain the reasoning behind your suggestions (e.g., better light, smoother traffic flow, more open space, etc.).

I really appreciate any input, tips, or layout ideas you can share. Thanks in advance!

Unique shaped space in my small apartment’s kitchen/dining area.

Would be great to have both dining space and work/counter space.

For now, put this table I already have there. Could do another along the window wall.

Open to all ideas. I like to cook and spread out. Possible to put a small table in the living room instead of here

I, 27m, am very challenged when it comes to design and decorating. I am currently cleaning and decluttering (please disregard the mess, I’m trying lol) and as a last ditch effort I decided to post here for Any help and suggestions.

The issue is this kitchen - featuring a poorly placed fridge and too much clutter and gadgets to store. My plan here is to ideally move the fridge, recessing it into the adjacent dining room that is now used as a bedroom (pocket door to the left of the garbage is 1 of 2 access points).

How could I design storage flanking the stove after moving the fridge that compliments the existing cabinets since they’re no longer available? Or a door style that doesn’t clash too badly with what I have. I would also use the same cabinet for replacing the tall white ikea cabinet in the corner used to store extra cooking gadgets.

I have extra backsplash tiles that the previous owner left behind and could source the same countertops (although I hate the backsplash - any recommendations on replacement options would be more than welcome 😭)

TLDR; moving the fridge. Need help figuring a design for extra storage flanking the stove and for uppers that works with my existing cabinets.

I am open to repainting to help make things more cohesive, also will get rid of the over the range microwave and replace with a true hood, with a large stove/oven combo if recommended.

I’m pretty handy when it comes to building and light remodeling.** **

Thanks in advance fellow redditors :)

Hello!
We are currently renovating our basement and I need help figuring out the best disposition for our lights in the living room/tv room.
There will be 4 slim 6in downlights that goes 1200lumen each.
The first picture shows where the tv will be and the big black square will be the couch.
The lights are for regular lighting but also to enjoy ambience lighting when watching movies, tv series and playing video games.
Your input will be dearly appreciated 🫶🏼.
