Update Wow! You guys are great! Took some of your advice and love it even more!

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. 🤘

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.

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!!

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.

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 MontrĂŠal, 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.

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?

Just moved into a new place and I need some tips and help for my bedroom. Layout is a tad awkward; bathroom across the bed and walk in closet beside the bedroom door, and since y'all have great taste and ideas figured I'd post on here. Curtains are being put up over the big massive fuck off window but any help about what I could add to the space or change would be much appreciated !
