How can I make my doors look better?
Comments (2)I would clean the door well, and apply a scratch cover touch up in the color of the doors. The scratches are not that bad, and wont even be noticable. The black hardware should look good, if it matches in with other black hardware in your home....See MoreHow could I make my closet look better?
Comments (7)Try to focus on coordinating materials and colors. Right now you have plastic storage in different colors, some black fabric storage, brown hanging fabric storage, etc. I would consider moving the hanging “shelves” to a different area or using the built-in cubes for sweater storage, or whatever you have there now. I would get all the same color fabric cube storage or baskets if you want to invest in that, and put your cleaners and other small things in those along the top shelf. I would also consider adding more shelves to the cubes, either diy or with some type of insert since I don’t see those being very useful without that, it seems like too much vertical space. I’m not a fan of the look of the hanging shoe bags but they’re useful so I wouldn’t get rid of it. Hanging from shelves will look neater than using hooks for colorful clothes, and also just in general for such a small space. It’s a great size for a closet, hopefully some of those suggestions help....See Morehelp upgrading a collegey budget bedroom

Comments (17)Here's a floor plan and some inspiration pics. If the dimensions are off, I can adjust easily. The major problem with this room as so much going on and your eyes jumps up and down. There is no continuity. Your need to create some sort of order. Move the tv to the wall right of the fireplace (the outside common wall). It's important to line something up, like the bottom of the tv and the bottom or line of fireplace (not the mantel), and line up shelves with the same line. This way you can create a horizontal level. Paint the fireplace wall and the tv wall and the wall to the left of the fireplace the same color as the fireplace surround- an off white. Consider painting the staircase wall a color. See pics. This will make your room appear wider. Place the seating facing the tv and ignore the fireplace. It will blend in. Consider a game table or desk near the kitchen railing. The rug is 8x10. Hope this helps. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask....See MoreSharon Chen
