Took almost one year from design and order to delivery and install. If I’d try to do it myself it would have been a mess.

How’s it looking? I think everything is coming together with the exception of the tatami room.. I really don’t know how to decorate that damn room.

I really appreciate all of your criticisms and advice; it really helps me out since I'm new to interior decorating.

The front speakers and stands are going to stay, unfortunately. They are positioned for critical listening, and subwoofers will soon fill the spaces behind them. I'm kind of an audio nerd.

Now for the TV stand... It's really growing on me. I want to make it clear that I do have money for a lehit stand. I just thought I'd try something bold and unique. However, I'm thinking about wall mounting the TV just a tad lower than it sits now, and getting a different rustic/industrial looking stand. I'll just set the reciever and center channel on top of that stand.

Thanks again, you all rock. 🤘

Any suggestions?

a few things:

1. looking at getting a second smaller TV to put on top of my dresser in my bedroom

2. want to get a “manlier” comforter, thinking about a solid color with some texture maybe a navy or dark olive green

3. thinking about getting either a larger/deeper couch or L shape sectional that would extend out in the open area near my desk

appreciate all recommendations!!

23M, first time living alone and want to make the apartment more lively before calling my friends and or potential girlfriend. What can I improve?

need help to make my dorm a bit more “aesthetic”. (girl came over and called it a crackden) near the end of the semester so probably cant do anything too drastic.

So, it's been 3 months or so since this https://www.reddit.com/r/malelivingspace/s/riKStC1Nnq post.

I gave my daughter the login for my Amazon account with the design prompt "peace and quiet" and this is where she took it. More wall decor is inbound when I get my next bonus in a month.

Also, I took the opportunity to swap the scrap lumber bedframe I built for my daughter a decade ago for the bedframe I was using, and redesigned her room as well.

So, internet... how did we do on our bedroom makeovers?

P.S. I DID buy new pillows and I DID buy pillowcases. And I got better, warmer, dimmer lighting, it just doesn't light the place enough for good photos, as you can see in pic#1

P.P.S. the daughter hasn't decided on curtains yet, so yes, she's using an old blanket.

Thinking of adding something to the wall on the right of my desk. Not sure what. Any help is welcome!

This headboard was attached to the wall when I arrived but my furniture is all teak wood. Would like to have warmth (but not darken) and wouldn’t mind something unusual. The rugs are changeable so not worried about clashing there. Thanks boys

I've been moving a lot in the last decade and even though it's been 2 years living here as a tenant in a context of housing crisis in Montréal, I struggle to really commit to make a place home. Anyway, this might not be looking sexy, but for the first time in a long while, I kinda feel home right there.

This has been my home for 10 years. Growing up poor and in a broken home, this is the longest I have resided in one spot. It brings me much peace to be here. I know the curtains shouuuuullllllddd be altered but during the winter when it’s dark, I can close them and it’s nothing but floor to ceiling bright color. It helps SAD a lot. A few things need to be fixed like that foggy window but I’m doing my best to fix or maintain things one after the other.

Bonus: Dog tax at the end/Impuesto pa’ perro al fin.

So I took y’all’s advice and did a little shopping, how did I do? I know I still need to change the end tables and add more plants but it’s a work in progress. Or should I just burn the house down, get the insurance check, and start over fresh?

Do you want to see how things change and what the other side of the room looks like?

The bedroom especially feels like it’s missing something! That bare wall in front of the bed just needs… idk what.

Will take any and all suggestions!

I really like this sub reddit and wanted to share my little home :D

Getting rid of the guest bed to make space and turn the room into an office, but want a just in case option for guests. We like the look of the Togo couches, of which there are plenty of dupes, but anyone have any feedback or sources for one that also converts into a sleeper? So far I've found this one from UO and also this one from PB Teen. Or should we just go for the Togo dupe itself and just get an air mattress?

On my to do list is finish painting, curtains, replace the overhead light in the middle of the ceiling (not my swag lamp. The swag lamp stays), and get a plant 🪴 38 yo dude

i’ve looked what i thought was everywhere and all i can find is overpriced wall art that i don’t really like
