I posted a few shots of this place when I first moved in a couple of years back and you guys seemed to like it so here’s a little update now I’ve filled it with a bit more stuff.

I really like the cozy vibe in here, but on cloudy days or at night it gets pretty dark, like in this pic. I don't feel these floor and wall lamps doing enough.

I've been wondering if I should try brighter bulbs or just add a ceiling light. I still want it to feel cozy, just not this dim all the time lol. What would you even do with this room?

Moved in with the wife and I did all the decorating. What do yall think?

What should I change to make it better?

I did get a bigger TV had to go to four store to get peppermint oil to get the spiders out

unfortunately having to move after 4 years here. i only really started getting it looking nice around 2 years ago, so it sucks that i have to leave. ignore the photos that are falling inside their frames lol

Hey zusammen, meine Partnerin und ich sind vor ein paar Monaten in diese Penthouse Wohnung gezogen. Vorher haben mir in einer gemütlichen Dachgeschosswohnung mit Balken, niedrigen Decken und Holzboden gewohnt. Wir waren Anfangs auch von dieser Wohnung begeistert, jedoch gestaltet sich die Einrichtung doch schwerer als gedacht und uns fehlen die Ideen. Vorallem muss es gemütlicher und wärmer werden. Der Balkon ist auch tot und ungenutzte m2. Wir zahlen 1400€ warm in einer mittelgroßen Stadt in Deutschland für 90m2 Wohnfläche und 50m2 Balkon.
Danke für eure Ideen!

My 40-square-meter apartment. I still remember my first thought when I walked in: this place is bleak. So I painted the walls, collected art, and filled it with plants. Now, it's everything I need.

Still have lots more to do… but it’s a start. How’s it looking?

What can I do to make this room look less like a prison?

I have this wall in my living room and I don't really know what to do with it. It is about 3.69 meters in length, so there's plenty of space to use but I don't know for what. That's why I thought that one of guys might have a good idea and I could gather a few suggestions in this thread that might lead to something.

So what would you do with that wall?

Additional information:

• That mirror belongs to my sister and will not stay there forever. It's only a temporary solution.
• I added a picture of the rest of the room for some context. I know that this part still needs some work as well, but at least I have some ideas for that and I'm currently looking into that (this includes plants and pictures).

The key is seating and things to distract people from why they are mad at other people.

Finally managed to buy a house and been slowly trying to make it a home. Excuse the smudged windows but it’s our dog’s favourite observation spot!

I know my living room setup is super nerdy, but I am a super nerd. Any advice? I’m thinking I need a rug for the main sitting area, but not sure what color

Hey everyone, looking for some honest opinions on finishing up the kitchen counter area.

I'm trying to keep the overall aesthetic clean, modern, and cohesive without feeling too clinical.

Here is a quick breakdown of the tones and materials already in the space:
Kitchen: Matte grey cabinetry paired with crisp white countertops and a black induction hob. 
Flooring: Warm oak-coloured wood flooring. 
Accents & Furniture: There are touches of walnut-coloured furniture in the broader room/open layout, plus some natural stone and warm ambient lighting.

I'm in love with this cordless marble-base cylinder lamp for the counter by the window (as seen in the mockup options), but I'm torn on whether White, Black, or Red (burgundy) marble would look best against the grey and white. I feel the red lamp would need accents to tie it in otherwise it will stand out in a bad way. The black is safe but might look too boring. And the white might look too clinical. I want the space to feel warm.

Its a rental so there is limited options to play with the structure of the space. I could upgrade the kitchen towels to something more pleasing. And also some quality wood chopping board.

Would love to hear what you guys think would tie the room together best!

Started from literally nothing 13 months ago still feels kinda empty .

Me (M25) and my gf (F25) moved in together a few months ago but it took us awhile to get it furnished cause everything is expensive and this is now the first time in my life where id rather be home. Ever since I moved out of my childhood home ive felt like ive existed in a space that wasnt mine. Now that ive moved away from troublesome spaces and people and live with the loml in a space that we have curated, I love being here. My job takes me away from home for sometimes days at a time and when I think about going home I get so excited! Not only to see my gf but to just exist in a space where I feel like I can be myself. Many thanks to my gf for finding the apartment and all the furniture and for helping create this space that im proud to call home.

TLDR: Feels like home for the first time.

Since I resigned from Emirates, I had to move out of my flat as well.
That’s the last pictures I have on my phone. No pictures of my flat mates room or bathroom and also non of the living room anymore.

The dark brown furniture and bed was given by emirates and couldn’t be replaced.
