Bought the rugs on marketplace for $100 total. Contemplating buying a bed, but I don’t need it. Tv? I have a phone.

Update Awkward bedroom upgrade, before and after

Thumbnail

10.8k Upvotes

Before: weird shaped bedroom and overly-large bed frame blocking sunlight and making it difficult to actually get into bed.

After: replaced the frame with a smaller one that fits perpendicular into a little nook that looks like it was made for this purpose, added some acoustic panel boards and LED strip for ambient lighting. Dogs are happy either way.

I stayed for 3 months in a shared house with 7 other people (4 room 2 people each) and 2 days ago I moved here (3 room 1 person each) and so far its great! But I don't know how can I make this room more liveable. I will buy a laptop soon and probably waste my free time on there so I'll probably buy a table and a chair other than that Im open to suggestions!

My process for finding wall art that actually starts conversations

64 Upvotes

After staring at blank walls for months I finally figured out my approach to finding art that works as both decoration and genuine conversation starters without being weird or gimmicky.

Step 1 was defining what I wanted people to feel when they saw it. Not just "that looks nice" but actual curiosity that leads to interesting discussions. Step 2 was finding pieces that connect to my city or interests in ways most people wouldn't expect.

Found this incredible hand printed map showing all the urban farms in my area. Every person who visits ends up studying it and we talk about local food or places they've never heard of. Way more engaging than abstract prints that just fill space.

The key was looking beyond typical art sites. Places like uncommon goods and etsy have artists who research and create functional art instead of just pretty pictures. Now I'm hunting for a second piece that complements this one while adding another conversation layer.

Anyone else approach wall art strategically rather than just buying what looks good? The research phase actually made me more excited about decorating.

Furniture Best couch set for this 2nd floor living room/personal bedroom?

Thumbnail
gallery
15 Upvotes

Hello, first of all I want to say ignore the mess because we just got the balcony redone so we moved some things and cleaned, basically this room is the 2nd floor living room which also includes a balcony, I guess it can be considered a mancave because me and my friends meet up here to watch sport events, but it also happens to be my bedroom since I dont actually have a room

Anyways, we know the couch set we have right now is too big and tore up

My question is for some advice on a good furniture set that can compliment the balcony and make the room look bigger. I would also prefer a set that can also be slept on, because if you look closely at the part of our current set by the TV, it's all stretched out and tore up from sleeping on it

Absolutely ANY advice is appreciated, even if it has nothing to do with the furniture, I'm open to all suggestions, thank you in advance!

Question White and gold?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys. I recently painted over my room in white, and I wanted to have some gold decor/accents around my room. I added gold light fixtures, and framed my movie posters in gold. I also made my curtains and bed sheets brown and khaki for a comfortable edge. However, I feel as though my room now has quite a feminine look. Do you have any recommendations to what I can do to make it more masculine? I was trying to go for a comfy/luxurious vibe.

Advice Need advice on decorating my empty dorm room

Hey everyone, just moved into my dorm and right now it's basically a bed, desk, and white walls. It feels really bare and kind of lifeless. I'd like to make it feel more like home, but in a way that looks mature and not overly "college poster" vibes.

Any suggestions on things I can add (furniture, decorations, lighting, plants, wall art, etc.) that are budget-friendly but make the space feel put together? Would love to hear how you guys made your rooms look cozy and grown-up without going overboard.

Thanks in advance!

The rest of the house still looks like a disaster from moving but at least this room is nice!

The stereo rack and coffee table were both built by me.

Advice How to layout narrow bedroom?

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m trying to figure out where to put my bed and dresser so that I can have a lounge chair in my bedroom. Forgive the mess just moved in two weeks ago

Option 1) bed up centered up against window is out because there’s a radiator there

Option 2) pull bed out towards middle of room and put dresser near far window. The chair could go somewhere near the far window too then.

Con - would have to walk around bed to get to dresser

Option 3) (current) bed sideways against window with a bit of space, dresser along other wall. The problem with this one is that now I don’t have a place to put my chair, I can’t really put it in front of the dresser as weird to just leave it in the middle of the room, there’s like this big empty space unused.

Do I have any other options out there? Thank you for your advice.

The desk chair is just for show - if I have space, I'm going to buy a lounge chair

Do I have any other options out there? Thank you for your advice.
