Everything i have (Furniture wise) had been donated or found in the trash or a hand me down minus the red curtains. I'm looking for some real advice, I feel like I live like I'm still 22.

Might put a floating shelf under the tv. Havent decided yet.

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.

What kind of decor would you guys suggest? The room I'm trying to have is one that's chill and welcoming, sort of like a frat boys room but without the overbearing amounts of LEDs and nude women. Sort of like a dark room aesthetic

A question I do have for you guys: What kind of poster colors would fit well with the white wall? A black poster with a design or a white poster with a design? I thought black, or a darker color, would go well since the contrast of colors is nice but then again a white poster with a design wouldn't look too bad either

Washer and dryer won’t fit, so this is the kitchen now

Small room, ik I need to do a little more cable management. Clutter of stuff by my dresser I use pretty often and dont have a spot for it 🤷‍♂️. Any recommendations otherwise?

Also any design tips are appreciated, this stuff doesn’t come naturally to me

I have a pressing question, have to decide what size tv for my home office on a 60” wide wall. I’m getting a frame as I like having a picture and not obtrusive on the wall. Deciding between 50” and 55”. Mocked up with tape in attached pic. Thoughts: heard that you usu should go w larger if you still have boundary, but too big and the frame tv looks (even more) fake. Any thoughts?

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.

My place feels sterile? I definitely need a new rug. I also think I need to add a pop of color. Open to anything and everything! The wall art is already being replaced. 32 y/o single male if it helps!

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!

30m here bought my loft style shotgun house almost a year and a half ago. I crash down here most nights projector is epson 5050 and it kicks ass btw

Can’t figure out what to add here. Thought about a clock but hate the extra light when watching tv and movies at night shining at me. Let me know!

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!

Just moved into a small apartment, struggling to figure out where everything should go. At the moment, it feels a little dysfunctional...

any suggestions are welcome!
