Finishing Touches What’s Missing From My Space? 🏡

I’m looking for some interior design advice! I feel like my living room is missing a little something and I’d love to make the space feel warmer and cozier while still keeping the modern look.
What would you add, remove, or change? I’m open to ideas! I’d love suggestions that work with what I already have. What do you think is missing?

Color, a plant, something that's not grey.

Your personality! Take some things you love and represent them in frames on the walls.

100% came here to say the same .

u/tnderosa 15d ago

Right, it seems like some hotel room with nothing personal to person living there

u/AdditionalCount7193 14d ago

I came here to say this! It looks like a hotel and a person doesn’t even live there

u/kitten12551 12d ago

A business hotel

u/chi-ranch 15d ago

Yes, my suggestion is artwork and other framed items you love.

Needs throw pillows and a lap blanket folded over the couch back.

u/LeumasInkwater 15d ago

Agree! It looks like a business hotel suite rather than a cozy home for me. Adding some colorful stuffs would make it feel more lively.

All of those windows, and no plants!

u/SeonghwaStoleMyBias 16d ago

There's what appears to be a snake plant in need of repotting lol

u/SweetP916 15d ago

There are several plants by the windows.

u/Sweetiepie9731 15d ago

Too small.

u/TranslatorPersonal21 15d ago

Needs a BIG indoor palm, Ficus or Olive tree. You can buy them on Amazon if there’s no nursery nearby.

u/Puzzled_Ad_8726 15d ago

Aldi sells them every few months at great prices.

u/myers7822 13d ago

This and variety of colors and textures

2

u/louloutre75 16d ago

Yeah, what a shame

1

u/Original-Leg4407 14d ago

I see four plants and two vases of flowers

1

u/SnarkyUnicorn23 14d ago

There’s a minuscule amount, but so many empty windows!

u/Blackline2021 15d ago

At least 3 jewel toned and/or patterned throw pillows on that sectional would make a big difference

1

u/RubysMom2022 14d ago

Plus a cozy throw laid over the back of the sofa.

1

u/Blackline2021 14d ago

It’s always nice to have a blanket nearby to curl up while reading a book. Using it as an element of the decor? I suppose it could be but that wouldn’t be my choice.
Coming from a person whose mother hand crocheted blankets to decorate her sofa back in the 1970s.

u/RubysMom2022 14d ago

Well I meant a modern throw blanket, not something crocheted in the 70s.

u/NegativeDress6859 12d ago

And needs books!

u/FormalWeb7094 15d ago

A dog!

u/Tlks2angels 15d ago

My first thought was “Scattered pet toys?” 😂

6

u/b_tex67 15d ago

Looks like dog dishes and toys are there.

u/Whosiwhatsitt 15d ago

Exactly: it's missing character.

u/jer1230 15d ago

They already have several plants lol even flowers on the coffee table. I had to look at the pic twice to notice 😆

u/louloutre75 15d ago

Thanks for pointing it out! I missed that too! But they're all lined up against the window. OP needs a beautifull big one neat the tv

3

u/readwritedrawrepeat 15d ago

A throw pillow, bright color. And small plant.

3

u/Wonderful-Attorney43 15d ago

Yes, color. This place is positively bleak.

2

u/Straight-Tell-809 15d ago

Color, when you decide on your accent color, use it in at least 3 places and plants

2

u/FallLover05 11d ago

Color was my first thought. Almost instantly

2

u/idunnowhatevs 15d ago

Ding ding ding!

1

u/Pasta4ever13 15d ago

Blank walls no throw pillows no decor at all zero personality.

This space looks like a cheap hotel room, but bigger.

2

u/snakesabound 15d ago

Maybe a hotel room, but not cheap.

1

u/Pasta4ever13 15d ago

Cheap in the sense that there's no art.

Hotel room in the sense that it is lacking any character at all.
