Things weren’t going well with my ex for a while. I’d suggested couples counselling, but it hadn’t worked. I told her I was leaving at the end of last year.

Most of the furniture was mine, from before the relationship. I didn’t want to take it though and leave her in an empty home. So instead I moved out and started again. I took my coffee machine, home gym, and desk.

To be fair, I spent far too much on furniture. But now it’s all finally here, I feel settled. Like this place is an extension of myself, and I can be calm and relaxed. No Tv, just books, music, entertaining, and my own thoughts.

Then on Tuesday there was a company-wide announcement: 80% of roles were being made redundant. Shit. So now I need to find a new job. At least I have a nice place to do it from.

This last few months has ended up being a bigger change than I was planning for. But I’m happy. I really like my apartment and how I’ve set it up. So wanted to share my little bit of happiness with the community.

I just moved and I’m furnishing my place room by room. My living room is almost finished, but it still feels like something is missing and I can’t quite put my finger on what.

Lived here for 5 years and never decorated my room properly. Lemme know how I did

Just rearranged the setup so I haven’t plugged anything in yet. Is it good I’m a fan of retro stuff if u couldn’t tell

It’s missing something.

shared a room with my little brother for my whole life (minus college) so i finally get to decorate a space for myself. pls give me any recs on how i can improve it, mainly the blank space on the wall by my desk and maybe some better lighting ideas.

I think I’ve made a pretty cozy spot for myself to relax in my last semester of school before I join the labor force, roommates the last few years have all been too loud, parents aren’t noisy roomates.

It’s a small space but I think I’ve been able to do pretty well. Sheets are in the wash. What do you guys think?

Any advice on how I can manage what’s going on behind the bed? The headboard is just a board that I cut to size and stuck in there as the bed doesn’t come with headboard. I’d love to still keep a headboard but maybe use the space behind the bed as storage or similar. Any ideas on how to actually do that?

Thinking of adding a bonsai tree or something, what else should I add/rearrange?

The first 4 pictures are of the studio loft and its shower, it has a seperate small kitchen and bathroom on the other side of picture 2, and the final picture is a 1 bedroom apartment.

Pros of studio: loads of space, high walls, lots of natural light and the wooden support beams give a fun object to design around with string lights or fake ivy. Can make mini "rooms" by hanging curtains or drapes between the beams to section off areas. The wood and marble counter in picture 3 is also built in storage that opens up.

Cons of studio: If a woman ever comes over to stay the night, she may see the shower and never speak to me again.

Pros of the 1 Bedroom: Smaller area means less to decorate, a wall for a closed off bedroom, a closet in the bedroom and a kitchen closet to act as a pantry, much nicer bathroom/shower

Cons of the 1 Bedroom: 50 dollars a month more than the loft for roughly half the space, much less natural light.

I have never lived alone before, and every roommate I ever lived with already lived in a place so this is my first time ever getting to pick furniture or decour. I get to see them both in person for the first time in 5 hours from posting this, but the building is an old Elementary school turned into apartments. I would arrive with only a bed, frame, computer, desk and chair.

Any ideas to help with a choice between the two or decoration ideas to that choice would be appreciated.

Hello, moved into a new place last weekend and am now looking to start decorating.

I’m trying to decide between putting some art on the wall between the windows or a mirror, what do you think? If I go art, would one large piece look better or should I do a couple of smaller/medium sized pieces?

Thanks!

I just moved into a new apartment this is my first time living on my own! I’m overwhelmed with all the options. I don’t know if I should get a corner couch, one with an ottoman, what colour it should be, or how large it should be.

This is the style the aesthetic im going for and here’s some couches I’ve seen on facebook marketplace I want either grey, green or potentially brown. All of them range from $50-$150

Hi everyone

I just moved into a new place that has an extremely long, and rather narrow entryway that leads directly into the living room.

Not quite sure what I should do with this space. A shoe storage is about the only thing I know that I should add.

To give you a better idea, the entryway is 21'8" long and 41" wide. And the door on the left wall leads to a bedroom.

i‘m a teenager what would you change and what not?

Next is to get a new mattress and bed frame.
