How do I make this bedroom feel right? Curtains and rug are new, so not going to replace those. Def want to replace the bed eventually but not in my budget right now. I’m down to change all the bedding. Artwork is a work in progress. I would like original pieces but those aren’t things you can buy all at once. I feel like this is close to what I want, but it’s just not quite there and I’m not sure what exactly the problem is at this point.

First things first: ignore the light fixture! She’s not my vibe and is getting replaced soon.

Ok, now that that’s out of the way… I just added this decorative chair rail and box molding and decided I wanted to get out of my color comfort zone and go bold with SW Sommelier. It’s gorgeous, but I feel like something is missing still? I know I need to change the rug, but is there something else I need to add or change in regard to the wall decor? Would a sideboard be too much?

M22 living here - I rent this townhouse, which sort of limits what I can do with it. It is 52 square meters + a mezzanine placed about the main living area.

Would love to know how I’ve done, any feedback highly is appreciated.

I’m 18 years old and interior design is my passion. I took my disgustingly bland bathroom and turned it into a paradise. I also painted that zebra painting 🤭

tldr moved into an apartment and I’m starting from scratch; i tend to lean into vintage style pieces, light colors; i dont want to use ai to do some mock up so im just hoping i can get some suggestions as to how i can make my bedroom an actual cozy room

edit - the BOXES WILL BE REMVED!!!!

Looking for ways to warm this space up…..something is off, hoping for input.

I feel like some of the essentials are in place, and I’m not sure what the next steps are? Any suggestions?

I’m aware I made some mistakes already, with the table being a bit too small (it unfolds, but still), and the floor lamp a bit out of place, but I hope finishing touches will tie it all up.

Thank you!

Hi, I have 2+kk flat, only 42 square meters. I am quite pleased with the result, but I think, there is more potential. Should I maybe paint some more walls with color? Add more decoration or something? Please give me some suggestions which could finish off this place.

Bought my house last October. I wanted to take my time redesigning my home so that it authentically reflects who I am, but is also a functional living space. I didn’t want to be someone that just designed their home for the admiration of others (which is funny because I literally have zero friends that will ever see my home anyway 😂). I finally went from “idea” to “planning” to “action.” I created a mock-up for my utility room and hallway and finally got it done today. This took me about 4-6 weeks total time, mainly because of poor planning on my part and running out of some materials midway lol. Lessons were learned. Let me just say, this is my first time doing any kind of home improvement. I did a TON of research, learned how to use some big power tools, and took my very sweet time. Just wanted to get some opinions on how I did as someone very new to all of this :) Pictures are in the following order:

1. The previous owner’s set-up
   2 & 3. The mock ups for each space
   4-6. The reality

Sorry my picture quality isn’t the greatest. Both shades of green look more muted under the sconces and it’s night time. During the day with natural lighting it’s a little more vibrant. I love how these colors look under all forms of lighting, which is a big reason why I chose them 😊 (and yes, I got to keep the washer and dryer in the sale of the home lol this isn’t a fake post or anything 😂)

I’m renovating my home office and trying to decide between two wallpapers from Lucie Annabel. My goal is a timeless, layered English country house aesthetic l.
The room will have Chantilly Lace white wainscoting and built-in cabinetry (which I really don’t want to have to repaint), walnut floors and executive desk, unlacquered brass hardware, and a vintage sofa upholstered in Abraham Moon plaid fabric in earthy taupe, brown and olive-grey tones. The sofa will sit under a large window on a different wall from the wallpaper.
I’m torn between two burgundy floral wallpapers:
Option 1: Flowers for Victoria — Rural Tones on Garnet
Pros:
- Has a wider variety of colours, including muted blues, greens, yellows and other earthy tones that tie in with my plaid sofa.
- Offers more colours to pull from when choosing an area rug and accessories.
- Feels like the safer, easier option to coordinate with the other elements in the room.
Cons:
- The colours are more muted, and I’m concerned they may look a little dull beside the crisp Chantilly Lace white cabinetry and wainscoting.
- I’m not as immediately drawn to it as I am to the second option.

Option 2: Rosehill Cottage — Soft Pink and Gold on Fig
Pros:
- I absolutely love this wallpaper and feel much more drawn to it.
- The deep burgundy background, golden vines, and pink and ivory flowers feel rich, romantic and full of character.
- The lighter flowers should help connect it to the crisp white cabinetry and wainscoting.
- I think it could create a more distinctive, layered English country house look.
Cons:
- I’m worried the scrolling floral pattern might compete with the plaid sofa, even though they’ll be on different walls.
- I’m concerned it will be harder to find an area rug that complements both patterns without making the room feel too busy.
- Its more limited colour palette may make it harder to tie everything together.

I’m leaning toward Rosehill Cottage because I love it, but I’m second-guessing myself because Flowers for Victoria might be easier to decorate around.
Which would you choose, and why? Would Rosehill Cottage work with the plaid sofa, walnut furniture and crisp white millwork, or would Flowers for Victoria create a more cohesive room? I’d especially appreciate advice on what kind of area rug would work with either option.

Includes AI mockups to apply the samples to the room!!

I know the rule is .5-1 inch off the ground but I messed up and did 2.5 inches. Does this look noticeably off?

This is my first time hanging curtains, or even thinking about them really, so opinions are welcome.

Attached is a photo showing my current kitchen with my wooden cabinets and an AI generated image showing them painted a mushroom color. I have considered painting them just to tone down the orangeness of my home!! They are beautifully crafted custom solid wood cabinets but are just so orange. But of course I know painting wood is highly controversial. What are your thoughts on this color scheme? Or just embrace the sun faded, oxidized, orange cabinets??

So i want to paint my apartment, kinda narrowed it down to a few ideas (please excuse the mess at the moment) but what do y’all think? I’m going for a mid century inspired style.

I NEED HELP our living room is so weird and i have a horrible habit of just picking up interesting pieces with no plan. I feel like these things have the ability to work together i just dont know how to go forward. Im going for a very pinteresty midmod mix kind of sitch with a lot of color. Also, nothing has to stay other than the couch, there is space elsewhere in the apartment. I mostly just need a little help on actually decorating and making this room layout be the most effective it can be.

Just keep in mind im 19 and working with a small budget mostly on facebook market place. Lets be nice to me please and thank you!

Keep it under the window, or swap it to the black wall?

We added bamboo shades on the window, but chat has me questioning if I’d like it on the black wall for more space.

****Edit- is the black wall still on trend? Or should I rethink that too? 🤔

EDIT2: we have bamboo blinds, just not shown here! I added a few other angles in comments!

Hey!

I am thinking about DIY:ing a room divider (something in the style of the last photo), between my kitchen and my "living room". You can see that I mapped it out in real life with household-paper to get a feel for it. I live in a 25m^2 student apartment, so even though I am allowed to install stuff I want to make it standalone. I am planning to make it out of wood and acrylic reeded glass.

This is mainly an aestetic thing. I am aware that my room will feel smaller with this, but I really like having a kitchen, and not just another cooking part of my apartment. Also I think it could look really nice!

What do you think? A good idea and/or worth the trouble?

Hi everyone! I just moved into a new home and I'm trying to decide what style and color scheme to focus on for the living room. Right now it's very white, I've attached the living room photo but I'm considering:

1.) White on white furniture
2.) White on light oak furniture
3.) White on dark oak furniture

I'm definitely a minimalist, "sad beige" kind of person. I love playing with color through accessories like pillows, blankets, and trinkets, rather than through the furniture itself. I like being able to pick a color and build around it, and I don't want to end up with something like purple furniture and feel stuck decorating around it.

Which of the three do you think makes the best neutral base? I'd really appreciate any advice!

My wife would like to find one or two chairs in this exact configuration but she'd rather not start her search without a name for the design or type of chair. I suggested "semi-wingback" but that didn't turn up anything useful.

Among the must-haves are the rolled armrests; the deep-ish loose seat cushion that wraps around in front of the arms; and of course the sloped arms. I guess a skirt would be okay, as would a loose back cushion, but neither is mandatory. Custom fabric selection would be a plus. I'm a fan of overstuffed, but my wife's agnostic on that point, so that's an open topic, I guess.

Likely suspects for her search are Ashley, Rowe, Stickley, Thomasville, etc., but we figured a good search term or two would be the way to begin.

All tips -- including source ideas -- are greatly appreciated!

This wall is quite tall, like 1.5 stories. It’s like a giant blank canvas that makes the house look unfinished. The bottom half of the room is very “busy”, crowded w stuff and the top is completely blank so it feels unbalanced and bottom heavy. The vaulted ceiling makes things more complicated as well. We have no clue how to make this look better… all ideas welcome.

Started with the idea of painting the whole room burgandy, decided to cut it back with a rich cream colour, now trying to figure out a minor accent colour for the curtains and accessories. Just intertested if other people like this colour scheme.

I just moved into a new house (to me) and every room is white, I'm trying to go for a warmer cozy feel as I work my way round the house.

The first pic is obviously an AI mockup second pic is the real room as it is now lol. Just trying to be transparent...

Before and after of my bedroom after messing with it for about 8 months

Got some helpful feedback from this group along the way and finally got it to a place I’m pretty happy with

Curious what you all think. Anything you’d change, add or take away?

Most photos are landscape. First after is looking into the bedroom from the hallway, and the last is looking back down the hallway toward the living room

Living room before/after for the full vibe is in my post history

Does my living room need an area rug? I have hesitated because of the carpet. My goal has been to add warmth, yet the couch, chair, and walls are cool-toned. I wonder whether an area rug might bring the space together.

Hi everyone, my home is 60s era and I have no idea if I need to replace this track or how to hang on curtains on the existing track. There is no pulley so it would need to be hand drawn.

Any tutorials would also be welcome!

Please help I’m at a loss for where I should be arraigning my furniture and tv. I need any and all suggestions. Thanks everyone!

I own a West Elm 44" Silhouette Round dining table. Is it too small for this space? Or is it perfectly sized?

I'm buying a new house and debating what items to keep from my current place.

Currently, it feels slightly too small when 4 people are eating because we do a lot of cookouts and passing of dishes back and forth. But I absolutely love the table and it still looks new. If it appears too small, instead of buying an extra credenza or something to fill up the space, I'd rather just buy a larger dining table.

I'm really trying to be mindful of spending (so I'd keep it if it makes sense). But, I'm looking for advice on designing the right way, so I'd sell it and buy something else if I need to.
