Comments (3)If you can't repaint, buy neural color furnishings. In addition, the neutral furniture will work in the future if you move again....See MoreI just moved into apartment and need help with living room.
Comments (5)Please move your painting down so that the bottom edge is about 8 inches above the top edge of the sofa. Find a console for the TV that is quite a bit longer than the TV and rather low, with doors behind which you can hide the messy stuff. Google TV consoles and you'll find hundreds of styles in every price range. Put up a long curtain rod, long enough so the curtains clear the window when they're pulled back, below the narrow window and put up curtains that are fairly light in color so the room doesn't look smaller. I suggest a carpet that is fairly colorful, and it would be great to use your painting as a color inspiration. You need warm colors to offset the gray of the wall and couch. Definitely a few pillows in colors taken from the rug. Move that gray bench thingie, perhaps to your bedroom, and find a small but comfortable armchair for added seating. Forget about the horrible overhead lights and get at least one table lamp (two would be better) for warmer lighting that doesn't turn people a ghastly color. A few pillows in happy colors so your furry friend will have something to cuddle against....See MoreMoving into a new apartment... please help!
Comments (0)Hoping for some advice... I'm moving into a new bachelor apartment soon, and am absolutely terrible with interior design. All I will be bringing in terms of furniture is: A bed, frame is 220cm x 157cm A desk, 155cm x 75cm An area rug, 200cm x 200cm I also have a floor lamp, and an electric guitar with amp. I've attached the floorplan - if anyone has any advice on how to best use the space, I would be very grateful! I'm open to suggestions with regards to different purchases, however my budget is unfortunately very, very low; as a student I can't afford much. I realize this is somewhat vague, I'm very new to this and don't really know where to start!...See MoreRita / Bring Back Sophie 4 Real
