Hi.
I’m looking for some advice on how to elevate my living room, which also includes my dining area. I feel like the space might have potential?? But I’m not quite sure what’s missing or what I could change to make it look and feel more put together. Let me know your thoughts❤️ J

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

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).

What should I change to make it better?

(REPOST FOR​ PERSONAL REASONS)

I swear all of ​my friends tell me my room looks bad. Are they exaggerating or is it actually bad bad

The pictures aren't the best​​ (also you can see my tiny thumb in the first picture XD that's cool)

Give me your opinions!

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.

​

So, I am rooming with three other people in this house and I have my own room to keep my stuff in. (We share a kitchen and common area). The issue is that I have not found a good way to layout this room because of it's weird construction. (Door placement and how the closet isn't recessed into a wall but protruding out into the space.

So I guess I am asking for advice for what other people have done. Also what should I do about lighting. I'm on an north facing room with an easy window but is mostly blocked by another house

Thanks.

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

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.

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!

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?

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 .

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

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

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

A while back I started WFH a lot more, so I threw together a little home office in the bedroom( just placed them in an empty area).

BUT I think I picked a pretty good spot 😂 I get plenty of light, I'm comfortable here, and after using it for months I've gotten completely used to the setup.

Now my wife has realized this whole WFH thing doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon, so for the past few days she's been telling me it's time to move the desk against the wall. So we can get the walkway back and make the room look more organized.

And yes, I understand her point. But moving a desk is never just moving a desk. I need to unplug everything, sort cables, clear the desktop, and rebuild a setup.

Judging by my wife's tone, I'm probably moving it sooner or later whether I like it or not 😭 But before that happens, I need at least a little support from the husbands here. Maybe I'll go ahead and get a new desk while I'm at this stage?
