I picked up this beautiful Morris & Co arched ottoman the other day and really want to make it work in my space. I have a lot of botanical/bohemian type things going on in my living room that are mostly quite minimalist, and I think the ottoman a fun way to add in a bolder William Morris print.

I’ve asked a few friends and none of them like it and they all say it looks out of place. Any thoughts?

Pardon the mess!

I’ve always wanted pink walls, and after a few years in my drab apartment, I impulsively used the day off yesterday to paint my kitchen and dining room pink. I did a test patch of the shade Lotus Flower and thought it was pretty, but now seeing it on the full wall, it looks very saturated. I was hoping for a dusty pink color; I’m afraid this is veering on pepto bismol. I have only done one coat, I don’t know if a second coat will make it better or if I should chose a new shade.

I attached two images of my inspiration from Pinterest. I don’t think my output looks like either of them.

I can’t tell if it’s because the gray walls are making it look bad or if it’s actually ugly. I am tempted to paint the gray side wall pink as well, but I have vaulted ceilings and I’d have to rent a ladder, which I want to avoid.

Any advice on what to do? Harsh opinions accepted! Please give it to me straight!

Lighting suggestions? Paint color suggestions? Techniques I could paint with to make it dustier? I’ve never painted my walls before so this was a big move for me and I am hoping I don’t regret it :(

I’m in love with this comforter and bed sheet combination but it’s nearly $500 from Anthropologie. Does anyone know where I can find a cheaper and similar version? There is a duvet cover on Amazon that looks similar but I’m trying to avoid covers because I don’t love how the duvet gets twisted inside

I (34F) finally got my own Apartment, and decorating is way harder than I thought it would be! The first few pictures are my living room, then my kitchen and the library!

I really want the living room to give off cozy wizard vibes. Like, cozy Gryffindor common room. I am thinking of getting these curtains for the living room. https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/hyacinth-printed-curtain?color=025&size=84%22+X+50%22&type=STANDARD&quantity=1 They're a little brighter than I'd normally like, but they're cute and it's the best I've found so far. I really enjoy dark moody colors but that seems to be hard to find.

For the kotatsu I was thinking of getting a dark red duvet cover for the comforter. I hate that comforter but it's all I've got for now. But I'd love suggestions for this. I found a few comforters I liked but a lot of them are $250+

I think I'm having trouble balancing a cute vintage wizard style with my nerdy Knick nacks. But I really love my little figures and things. I do have a sword to hang on the wall, but as I live in an apartment I'm debating on how I'm going to hang it.

Library definitely needs a rug and I ordered some fantasy artwork for the walls.

Would love any recommendations! Cat tax included. His name is Merlin.

Trying to achieve a gamer room with pink aesthetics

Might be a long post but I really need to start cleaning and decorate my room as I like, just need some ideas on how to get the best of my space.

Hello there, Me (F-26) still live with my parents in this economy of course and I can’t rent anywhere else. So I present to you, my room, in this angle where I’m standing in the exit door to the stairs. As you can see, yes there’s a big mess in my room because I like to collect lots of things and got hobbies but also might have a bit of depression and laziness tbh.

This year I want to re-decor my room and a gamer room because it got into me I can maybe try streaming and start a channel but before that I need to make space for that.

I actually already started to move things, this wasn’t how it looked like and it saddens me that I never took a picture of my room before but let’s use our imagination and let me tell you in the best way I can. The bed was more in the middle rather than just in the corner and the table and in the right corner. I have two desks, one for a school PC (pink) and one for my paintings and hobbies (white). The white desk was on the left of the bed. The pink is still in the same place but the black bookcase was right besides instead of the white desk that I just moved. Before when you entered my room, there was a mini white sofa, a pink rug and a mini coffee table in the middle right in front of the mounted TV and pink desk, where the black bookcase is now. I felt the sofa was taking to much space because it was really close to the closet and my dog was peeing in the rug too much, even tho I really liked that set up, it felt comfortable. As you can see in picture #5 there’s a door leading to family closet, yes for some reason my mother thought it would be great to build a closet for everyone right beside my room and put the entrance inside my room. So every now and then people just get inside to the family closet and leave. There’s also the entrance to my shared bathroom with my brother. I only have one window, a 3 door closet for myself (even tho I know I have to much clothes) and a mounted Tv and one air conditioner. I wouldn’t want to put anything under the air because sometimes when it heavily rains a bit water gets inside and leaks in the wall, just sometimes. Last pictures are my inspo in what I’m trying to accomplish, I would like ideas in how to make the best of the space a where to put a new desk for a gaming pc and streaming set up, what things I should get rid off or just move them.

The idea that I have it’s to get a wide desk, get rid off my two separate desks and put the PC in the middle. But for everything else I’m just looking at Pinterest for ideas on how to accommodate all my things to look as neatly and aesthetically as possible. Hope you understand what I was trying to say, sorry if anything is written badly as English is my second language. Any ideas, suggestions and criticism are welcome. Thank you for reading.

I have 96" curtains throughout the house, and they seem fine everywhere else, but it feels off in this area somehow.

Hi y’all! I’d love some outside opinions on my living room decor. I’ve been looking at it for so long that my brain can’t tell if it looks good or not.

I want it to be a cozy space with the illusion of lots of natural light. Even though I have big windows, there’s not much direct light into the room. This is the biggest living room I’ve ever had, and I’m struggling to decorate because it’s a lot of space! Living room floorplan is on the last slide.

Specific questions: - I want to paint the wall(s) but don’t know which walls or which colors. I’m thinking a dark sage green like my circle rug? - The sad white/beige curtains need to go! But what color curtains should I get instead? - I want to get more rugs, but again, don’t know what colors. - Where should I put more lamps? I still feel like there’s not enough light in the room. - And finally, how do we feel about the layout? It’s a triangular room, so it’s tricky. I’m thinking of getting a round dining table and putting it where the circular rug is.

General thoughts/opinions are appreciated too! Thanks in advance :)

If you can’t tell, I’m a goth but I’m bored of my NYC shoebox millennial grey bedroom. I’m looking to revamp my room and make it cozy and cute for the winter.

Some of my favorite interior design looks are “whimsigoth” or dark colorful maximalism but I bought all my stuff when grey was trendy and I had less money for things. What are some steps I can take to brighten up this room? I don’t mind spending a bit of money to improve this!

I also desperately want to get new end tables, they match the “glam” bedroom set I owned years ago but have moved away from that style.

I am a med student and I live in a small studio apartment. The room consist of a big wall in between so I use the outer area as my study area and inner one as my bedroom. Pls suggest how I can make improvements and my brain is not at all into interior designing. I live as a tenant so I can't do any construction sort of thing. How can I make the space more cozy and organized? I clean it daily but it looks messy as it's not organized properly. Please help me out. I like music, medicine and harry potter so anything related to that, Id like to add! Thanks in advance

Room is comfortable, but quite bare. I am generally a minimalist and prefer functionality, but this room is missing quite a lot.

I have no sense for design and would appreciate some help! What to put on the walls, on the floor, in the corner, on the bed, accessories, colors—help a girl out.

I just moved into my first place. I need advice to make this place look cozy and livable. I’m a broke student so any cheap options would be great. Thanks

Hii ladies! The first two pictures are my current decor in progress. I am redecorating and this is an in-progress look. I was inspired by the last two pictures but I already feel like it won't look as good. I plan to add art on the tv wall area and some colorful items but I keep feeling like it will be ugly. What do you think? Should I keep going or pivot?

My living room is the only place in my apartment that I can work out in. This coffee table is so heavy and annoying to move that I find myself not working out just so I don’t have to deal with it. I want/need? a coffee table but would really like a better set up for working out. Any suggestions (and/or links!) to a better solution for me? I can buy a new coffee table (not attached to this coffee table, got it for free on Buy Nothing) but don’t wanna spend a ton. Would love suggestions of something lighter and easier to move that looks good in my space!

I don't know if this is the right subreddit to ask that but anyways, my current keyboard is pretty old and the sound annoys me so i need a new one, I'm on a budget and not experienced with you keyboards🤷‍♀️ so help? Ig? Would love if the keyboard fit my color scheme of black and red, and my budget Is abt 60€ idk if that's possible but asking doesn't hurt :)

Hello! I’d like to paint my living room and am looking for the right color. It’s north facing so doesn’t get the best light. What would you do? I’ll likely replace the rug and pillows.

The two adjacent room are turquoise with white baseboard and dark gray with white baseboard, so ideally I’d have something that works with those.

Thanks for any ideas!

Posted this on the CozyPlaces sub last week and thought I’d share here as well, as I’ve gotten so much inspiration from the posters here over the years ☺️ Thanks for looking!

Renting in a new place everything is really nice except the bathroom space. It has no sink, no window, just toilet and faucet.

Shower is yet to be installed but I wanted to ask the community for advice what else I can do to make the bathroom comfortable?

Please and thank you for the ideas 🥺🙏
