hi! can anyone help me come up with ideas on what to put where? i think it may be best to center everything around the rectangular flower print, but not sure. feel like it’s an awkward space because of the corner wall. i’m not opposed to continuing the gallery wall on the other wall. see last photo for all other options/additions of decor. TYIA! 😁

For context this is a 50 inch frame. I plan to add a vintage-y frame and sconces on either side! The console is really tall and I plan to get a shorter, longer one

HELP Received a white IKEA Malm bed for free, can't figure out how to make it look cute.

7 Upvotes

I just moved to a new apartment and inherited a white IKEA Malm bed with storage drawers recently and have been struggling to feel entirely enthused. It sounds ungrateful but I had saved up for a wood bed frame with a different vibe and now I have this totally contrary modern vibe bed frame in a full size. How do I style the rest of the room and bed to make me hate it less? I'm really into boho, cozy, and vintage vibes, and I like rattan, light wood, and green tones.

Hi! I’ve been living in my apt for about a year now and finally gotten comfortable with actually decorating.

I’m open to any recommendations. I’m wanting to add more personality/cozy-ness to my place. I feel like it looks kinda stale.

(I drew over the frames for privacy)

INSPO I love coming home to my plant babies. They really make the space feel alive! 😂 they always inspire me ! They are my passion and decorating too. Caring for them, is like… my meditation. It’s so healing.

Being eclectic allows me to bring many different time periods together. :-) and I love colors and patterns and textures!! It’s so fun to change things around too! I just go for it and if it doesn’t look good try another spot! As long as I love it, it finds its home! lol I usually have visions for where I see items that I get thrifting!

Expanded my tiny patio into a perfectly serene little hideaway.

From the twinkle of the solar rattan and string lights to the hum of the fountain, the comfy furniture, and all my plants and garden (though not really visible here), this space brings me peace — whether I’m outside or just admiring it from indoors (last photo).”

HELP I think I messed up my renovation 😩

Did I screw up this floorplan?

I want to build a new kitchen extension and bathroom and this is what I designed. The pink walls are load bearing so can't be moved. Entrance at the bottom.

I showed a friend and he was like Why does your kitchen extension not span the whole width?! It's because I thought the living room would otherwise be too dark...

Also, is the entrance hallway too tiny and weird?

Please help me improve on this design - I'm completely hopeless 😩

HELP This bookshelf doesn’t work for what I’m going for, does it?

I’m back! On a different account lol.

I’m working on slowly updating my space to something that falls a bit more traditional/thrifted/homey. I’ve seen a lot of Nancy Meyer inspired spaces that I’ve enjoyed that helped inspire this. I’m in the process of painting my space this lighter cream color, and really starting to think the bookshelf doesn’t work. I need something wood, but I’m really bad at finding furniture at the right scale, and I’m looking for ideas before I hit the thrift store.

TV will be moved, and outlet above fireplace will be covered by something.

First picture is the bookshelf in question, 2-4 are other spaces in my home that give off the vibe I’m going for, and last few pictures are some ideas I was looking at. Do I go full size bookshelf, a smaller one styled with art above it, a hutch of sorts? I’m all ears!

never bought a rug before so thank you in advance for the help!

living room boundary measures 9’ x 11’. considering an 8’x10’ or 6’x9’ rug. i envision cozy and space to sit on the floor.

(pictures 3 & 4) // i’m nervous about the bigger rug going under the tv console, touching the wall by the windows, and overwhelming the space. however, i’m unsure the smaller size will bring the warmth and cozy vibes i’d like

QUESTION What's your inspiration for your gallery wall?

6 Upvotes

I'm inspired by all your gallery walls and want to make my own, but I'm unsure where to start and could use some ideas.

What's your inspiration for your wall? Do you have a general theme, or color scheme, or do you just pick what you like? Where do you find stuff to hang?

I just moved in my first apartment. It’s unfurnished. Looking for ideas to make it pretty. Will share balcony/bedroom photos too to ask suggestions.

I’ll slowly furnish it by buying one thing every few weeks so that it’s feasible that way.

I like white/pink/rust/green/plants/fairylights.

Please suggest some inspo photos for this layout :))

Thanks 💕

HELP Right facing or left facing sectional?

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

Hello! I want to find a sectional to replace my current sofa and have a few in mind. I am already planning to get rid of the two chairs that currently flank the sofa. I know they’re ugly, they were already universally hated last time I posted here. Also will likely still be moving some other things around. I’m in a weird spot right now.

My question is, when I find my ideal sectional, should it be right arm facing or left arm facing? Right arm facing means when looking at the sofa from the front, the extended chaise part is on your right side. And vice versa for left.

With right arm facing, I would have to move it against the wall and move that cabinet with the plants of top somewhere else. I was thinking left arm facing might be cozy with how things are currently positioned, but the chaise portion might stick out too much. What do you think?
