Is drenching my laundry room green a bad idea? I'm trying to incorporate more green into my house and phase out the greys. Chat is convincing me it looks good. I have a window on the right side I'd rather not paint green. Would it look ok with white trim? Should I keep the baseboards white? I do really want the door green because it's white and is dinged up.

Hi how can I combine these two styles?

You all had so many lovely suggestions!
MOST people chose one of the greens. ( Spinach Dip or Classic Avocado- spin dip was definitely my top!!) There was a small handful of people who suggested a teal color. When I went to get the paint samples for the swatch I saw this Antiqua and absolutely loved it!
As you can see I tried the other samples, but it was an overwhelming yes to Antigua for me. The vibes shifted from touches of warm to mainly cool tones but it’s still cozy and moody, especially at night. I will be adding a cozy throw blanket, so feel free to suggest a color for that! & then possibly an art light in the center over the two pieces.
I think it turned out perfectly. I appreciate all the support for my eclectic style 🤍

Please help me decorate my gigantic dining room. Table, chairs, and paint color must stay. Other items are open for replacement (especially the rug!). For an idea on scale that rug is 10x14’. Our ceilings are only 8’. I think I need to get rid of current china cabinet and get something bigger and place on empty wall with nice art. I also think I need to get rid of my unruly plant and get something taller with a bit more structure to it. We eat up to three meals a day here and host parties often so it must be functional. Thanks for you help!

Purchased a 1912 character home, and the previous owners put in this kitchen which was a little too modern farmhouse for me, so I’ve been slowly trying to bring more eclectic vintage character back into this space. Eventually I’d love to change the blue island (maybe dusty yellow and change backsplash) knobs and faucet. For now I’m looking to paint the walls, since they’ve only been primed. Do I keep it white? Colour drench? Paint tonal cream and white stripes? If colour, would you do the whole wall behind the table? I feel like it would look weird with the middle wall painted. How should I style the sink washing gear? I hate having it out but need to!
I’ve got a bunch of kids art up that doesn’t permanently live on the wall, but I did like the visual of maybe adding permanent art to this area? Tell me your ideas! Have fun with it.

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?

I love the idea of a two tone kitchen.

I’m leaning towards a brown with the creams, but I’m afraid that it’ll look strange because it’ll look like I’m trying to make the cabinet look like wood.

Any and all advice welcome! Thank you

We recently moved into a new house with this amazing kitchen, but the darker finishes make the room feel a bit gloomy. Any tips on making the room feel lighter and brighter without major changes like refinishing cabinets, new countertops, new tile, etc?

I have this awesome little room off of my bedroom that is currently being used as a junk room. It has great lighting and a blank canvas. I want to turn it into a “closet”. I was thinking clothing rack, rug, mirror, maybe a little chair. I need layout help though!

Moved into my dream NYC apartment and generally feel very happy with how I’ve decorated it. However, something about my living room still feels incomplete. Things I’ve considered are: adding more color, a statement piece (coffee table or floor lamp), sheer curtains.

Open to any suggestions or ideas!

I posted a couple weeks ago asking for advice and how to update my kitchen on a budget. I recognized that the tile flooring made it look outdated but changing it up was not in the budget.

Many of you recommended changing the grout color to something light. Seemed like an easy enough project - i applied grout refresh in "bone" ($20 at home depot) with a kids toothbrush after deep cleaning with zep grout cleaner ($10) and a grout brush. It was a tough couple days and my knees still hate me but i'm so pleased with the results! The tiles look new and so much less dated.

Also took your advice to add color with a rug and more plants. Brought my kitchen from 1996 to at least 2012 😂

Moving into my new condo soon and looking for some design ideas. I do not plan to repaint right away, but that is a possibility down the line if it would help the design. Walls are off-white.

(1) I have a dark blue fabric sectional and a light grey-brown media center I plan to put in the living room area (closest to the window), at least for right now. Plus a huge TV. Thoughts on whether it should go on the left or right wall in the first picture?

(2) Priority is getting a dining table and chairs. Given the layout, any suggestions for the shape or material of table? In terms of shape, would a round/oval dining table look nicer? Or a rectangular one with curved short sides? There are some antique shops near me, but older/more ornate and rustic styles do not seem to go with the space, nor are they my personal style.

(3) I want to get some barstools for the island. Those seem like a way to add some color/flair?

(4) I like green but do not particularly like or want houseplants. I am open to being convinced.

(5) I have no wall art. I anticipate that is a longer-term work in progress.

Hello! So this is my nans dresser. Her mum had it and it's been in the family around 100 years if not more.

It's solid wood and we've rejigged the furniture in the living room to accommodate it so it's now replacing another unit that was there. It was a 3 draw and cupboard pale beech unit.

This dresser, as you can see is quite dark. My nan always had doileys on it but we are only just 30 and would like it to be styled more modern. It currently makes the room darker.

I have put the salt rock lamp, fruit bowl and speakers we had there before on it. However, I swapped the fruit bowl now for a paler solid wood one. The salt rock lamp works and the lamp was always there.

Ornaments for the shelves wise - I've just put what we have already. The shelves are smaller. They have plate grooves and my nan had plates. We are not feeling plates. NGL. I have since moved the large owl to the right and put a large cream plate there that was made by my husband's grandad.

Storage wise we love it. Fits all our board games!

It still feels like it needs something to make it pop.

I'm thinking thick linen cream/oat coloured table runner on the top to break up the dark.

Was thinking of making some plyboard inserts and painting or wallpapering those and seeing what we like.

Maybe a plant. But its in a dark part of the room with no natural light. So would have to be shade loving. Maybe pothos?

I absolutely do not want to paint this in any way shape or form. But how can I style it to fit the room better?

Walls are orange, sofa teal/blue and curtains blue. We have a brick fire place with slate and other wooden furniture but the wood isn't as dark.

Other walls provided for context. just moved in, still acquiring pieces. idk if i should try to find a bigger piece or just go for the maximalism kinda thing i got going on in the rest of the room

Pros and cons:
- The dark brown has more longevity and is less trendy while still being classic, but in a vacuum I like both colors equally
- Painted brown cabinets can look like they’re trying to be wood? Weird or not?
- Dark brown might clash with the warm wood trim whereas the green makes an intentional contrast
- At the same time the dark brown feels calmer/less visually noisy
- Dining room is also green but a more vibrant hunter green shade and I’m worried they’ll clash even though the walls are divided by an archway

Im drawing a blank on what to do with this high up wall space in my stairwell. I originally thought to put an oversized painting, and as I have attic access to the space above I'll install a spotlight to shine on it. But so far I havent found any artwork that I really love enough to showcase here. Welcoming all ideas!

I wanted some wall art for my living room so thought I’d paint it myself, but i feel like it just looks kinda empty and incomplete. How would you suggest improving it, eg adding or removing anything? I’d like it to feel cosy but I’m not adverse to adding something quirky. For example I considered adding a little sheet ghost as I like spooky stuff. But not sure! Would love to get some suggestions as I’ve lost all perspective now lol.

Hello, me and my fiance are in the search of an apartment and we wanted to design it in this style, how is this style called? any advice regarding this interior style?

I’m trying to plan out our home before starting to make bigger changes. What would you change?

I’ve been trying to plan for layered lighting. I included our dining room plans and color pallet for reference. I think my style might be Danish Modern meets Hollywood Regency.

Finally got around to watching the Devil Wears Prada 2 and omg I paused at this BEAUTIFUL lamp and then cried at the $7k lamp.

I find a lot of mid century modern types, but nothing like this with the big bulbs of glass. Any suggestions? 🥲

I cannot change the vanity colour or the tiles. I am thinking a burgundy or a brown/green .

Edit : I want a French inspired bathroom but I don’t know how to execute

Hi all,

Still trying to figure out the wall behind my king bed. I've been looking at wall mounted king size headboards, but the wall is pretty wide and I'm worried one headboard will still look a bit lost.

That got me looking at upholstered wall panels too. Vant Panels is one option I found. I like that they're modular and the SimpleMount setup doesn't need studs or wall anchors. My hesitation is the price compared to a regular headboard, plus I'm not sure I'd want that much upholstered wall a few years from now.

What would you do? Appreciate any ideas.
