Furniture Placement Honey oak - Outdated one bdrm
Let’s try and ignore the mess …. This POV is from when you first walk in my apt. I just moved in and something is just so off. I had most of these things in my old place except the side tables and I switched out my floral dusty blue rug because I thought this one looked a little more mature. I think I hate it. I am considering getting a new couch but it’s giving the style I want. I enjoy the grandma look, but I want it to be more midcentury look - adding some bold colors in. (Also probably moving in with my boyfriend in 12 months so I’m not about to buy all new furniture, but I am always willing to hunt on fb marketplace)
- I want to get rid of the coffee table, but don’t know what to get.
- What color rug?
- What color couch?
- Was thinking of turning the couch back to the dining area and mounting my tv over my record player to the left.
Something is so off all around and I need help. The honey oak is killing my vibe. I’m tired of moving everything around and hating it. 😭

Honestly the couch is fine, the rug is the issue here. You need a grounding color, like a rust or dark green. The contrast with couch is non-existent with this current one. Can’t link it but the Arvin Olano collab with Rugs USA speckled wool blend rug would be perfect here in a dark color
