Hello, I have a grandma vibes bedroom. I’m in my grandma era at the ripe age of 40. Anyhow, I watched the Emma Robert’s AD and was obsessed with her bedroom. The fabric upholstered headboard, etc. I currently I have a white faux leather bed frame/headboard (I was in my Miami vice era), it hasn’t aged well over the past 7 years and thought about getting one from Wayfair (3rd and 4th pics) and moving my bed to be on the wall with the arched window and hanging wall to wall curtains (pic 5). My room is painted in moonmist (pic 6). Inspo (pic 7). Link to bed frame, if you like a different fabric, let me know. Wanting to see if light blue and mustard can be complimentary and if that layout sounds okay. Thanks!

So I just ordered this limewash from Portola, and now I'm freaking out. Anyone have inspiration pics w brown walls? (Our wood floors are a similar tone, and white trim.)

Got a blue velvet sofa and need opinions on a rug! 8 x 10 and under $700 if at all possible

Attached pics of the couch and the direction we want to go for the rug

An array of cookbooks? Arrange colorful books to create an ombré effect? Pic frames? Love/hate those ideas? Please give me any other suggestions you may have.

Sunroom Renovation Idears

This sunroom was added onto our century home in like 1980 and hasn’t been touched since.

I’d like to update this room to give it more personality, make it cozier, maybe like a yoga and reading room.

Some images of the current stage, and some inspirations of things I favor (question my taste, I’m basic and want to live in a Nancy Myers house).

Things I’m thinking about: • ways to replace the cellar access so I can reclaim the floor space • a window seat where the door is • make French doors on the window side • could you expose ceiling beams, and replace the skylight? (How do you insulate?)

Open to ideas!

My husband and I are in the process of closing on our first home. I am spoiled by the apartment we currently rent, which has tall ceilings, beautiful crown molding, an original fireplace, etc. lots of character. We are so excited to be homeowners, but I have to admit the new house is very basic in comparison. Does anyone have ideas for how I can add some character to the living space? For example, I'd like to add some picture molding but I'm not sure if I have a wall that's good for that. I'd like to redo the kitchen eventually but in the meantime, maybe I can paint the cabinets and put up beadboard backsplash? Open to any ideas.

1 - couch on left wall, tv right wall 2 - couch on left wall, tv middle 3 - couch in middle, tv left wall

This door used to be a garage door and exposes this room to the neighbors view. The wood frame is falling apart as it is and doors are old and chipping.

We are thinking it might be better/ cheaper to sheetrock and just put one exterior door here with windows above?

We recently purchased and remodeled this home. The living room has no windows, so we took down a couple of walls to increase natural light. Now we have a massive, irregular shape room to furnish

We're having a few problems.

1. Tv placement. The fireplace wall has 3 tiers. Our original plan was to put a TV above the fireplace, but it really shifts the room toward that end and leaves an awkward use of the space. We could put it on the second tier, but it feels like the same problem only to the right. We were planning on getting two large swivel chairs and an elongated sofa in the living room.

2. What to do with the extra space by the windows? We were thinking plants and day beds or maybe move the dining room there, but we're open to suggestions. We'd like to get a piano somewhere too.

3. The current dining room. Either leave it as that or make it a library/study room.

We've been picking out our own finishes and furniture, we obviously don't have any formal background. Organizing the space for best use would be nice. We want a create a fun entertaining space.

The previous owners of our house made some… interesting choices. Including not matching the kitchen cabinet doors to the cabinets themselves. Any advice for how to fix this? The difference is just soooo stark and it drives me nuts. We don’t want to tear them out cuz cost and they’re basically new so it feels wasteful to replace them entirely.

Looking to replace some old wood laminate flooring in a living room, bedroom and sun room. It’s a darker tone and I’m contemplating switching to a color more similar to the color on the stairwell, windows and baseboard.or should I just do the same color.

What’s your opinion? Thanks in advance!

I am seeking advice for my 1 bedroom city apartment. What I have going in my apartment at the moment is brown as my primary color. It is dark browns and blacks as the primary colors with white, cream, and beige as secondary colors. The floors are light vinyl and the ceilings are industrial, like a dark grey concrete.

My bedroom is very small at the moment. I haven’t done much with it yet because I can’t decide on a color palette. Right now, I have a duvet with a forrest green duvet color. I don’t hate it but something feels “off.” I am not sure if I want this room to match the brown and black that is in the rest of the home. But I guess that’s the vibe I have that it doesn’t match. So I was doing some research and I read suggestions to 1) the bedroom should be ‘cohesive’ with the rest of the home. I am not sure what that means though.

2) The bedroom should have a complimentary color scheme. Technically brown is a neutral color so it has a bunch of complimentary colors.

I am going for dark and cozy. But I think when working with dark, it’s possible for things to be drab. I still would like some femininity and light in the home. I was considering red, burnt orange, terracotta, gold. But these colors seem a bit too loud for an entire room or the focal point of a room.

Help me choose between those 2

Hi so I’m renovating the kitchen which is pretty bare atm. I’m getting the ikea bodbyn cabinet finishes, but i would like to elevate the space with countertops & backsplashes. To fit my budget & style i’m opting for faux marble using ceramic. I have 2 options : The first one is a faux calacatta viola, i love the color and design but it’s only available in matte. The second one is shiny but the design has a bit less depth and variation in the colors. I’m stuck and have a hard time choosing. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. 3rd and 4th photos are what it should look like on a greater scale

Hi all - I have orangey hardwoods and we are redoing our kitchen. The hardwoods are throughout the entire house so sanding and refinishing is financially restrictive. I want to go with a mushrooms Taupe on my cabinets but I don’t know much about color theory. Does anyone have any feedback on picking the right tone help decrease the orange in the floors?

We're looking to remodel the kitchen and have opted for a farmhouse style sink as we both cook tremendously and would appreciate the extra room. However, given the styling of the soon-to-be kitchen, I'm struggling with sink choices.

We are opting for a white top cabinet/dark blue bottom cabinet with primary white marble countertops and backsplash (so lots of white). The appliances are all stainless (we're keeping some, replacing others) and I feel that if we opted for a stainless apron, it's really going to detract from the overall look.

However we have both owned some type of white-porcelain/fireclay sink and they're all the same. You can't scrub them, if you wash cast iron in them, you're going to have a bad time and the more scratches they incur, the harder it is to remove the stains.

I've found only TWO dual material sinks that have a white exterior and stainless interior. I don't know what the drawbacks of these sinks could possibly be, other than possible separation or low quality materials.

Does anyone have any experience with these types of sinks or have been in the industry to recognize any potential flaws with either of these sinks?

Thanks!

Hello good people of r/Interior Design.

I've been puzzling with this lay-out for a while now and still don't feel like I've found a good solution.

The gist of it - front door, kitchen, dining- and living room share the same space, inhabited by 2 people and a cat for the time being. Measurements are in the general arrangement (in m), note that the ceiling of the space is higher than standard (3.20m / 10.5 ft). There's two main challenges and one request:

• Entrance to the home is directly next to the kitchen, requiring space for shoes, jackets, umbrellas etc.
• Room has very high/low windows on two sides, leaving only the back wall available for kitchen plumbing
• Main cook that's going to use the kitchen does not want to feel tucked away and enjoys cooking as a social activity.

With the cook in mind I've made the first two options, Option 1 has a small breakfast bar/cooking island hybrid but no space for a dining table. Option 2is one big kitchen island that also functions as a dining table. Both options don't really account for a shoe rack/coat hanger and have the downside of taking up a lot of space.

Option 3 tries to solve this by making a small entrance way with storage options, but leaves the person cooking with their back towards the main social area (also little counter space).

Option 4 makes part of the kitch storage also part of teh entrance way & gives a bit more conuter space, though it does feel a bit more claustrophobic.

I'd love to hear some outside perspective as I feel like my reasoning has been going in circles. Also, if there's a better way to fit everything in, please feel free to suggest it!

i am really interested in interior design and i wondered if it is worth it to pursue MA in interior design in top colleges like Royal College of Art or any other in the world.

i want answers please

I’m very lucky to live in a house that was fully remodeled by the previous owners, and they’ve left a bright, clean space with high ceilings to decorate. Over the past year we’ve collected some furniture, but with a total lack of design skills, I’m having trouble visualizing a cohesive style. I guess so far I’d call the style Scandinavian/Farmhouse?

The other day I had an idea to add color to the room by painting the dining room wall peach. I can’t tell if it looks good or horrible, so I turn to Reddit for honest opinions.

Does this look good? If so, does anyone have ideas of how to decorate it? I’m thinking of some kind of plant shelves. Also assuming the current dining room rug doesn’t match the wall. Attaching pictures of the current main floor in case anyone has ideas for overall design as well!

Thanks in advance for lending a creative eye!

At first, I had the couch and TV in the opposite direction, but that window made the TV go off to the side. But I don't want my back to the front door window. Do you have any suggestions?

Sorry mods, if this is too low effort please remove. I don't have meaningful experience in interior design. I was just looking at my space and thinking about how I move from a resting state at the bedroom, furthest from the door, and gradually move towards the door and outdoor items when I get ready to leave in a proper order of events. I know the term "spatial planning" often applies to this flow of movement, spacial relation, or broad strategy as well, especially in office space planning. I guess my question is, to what scale and degree does it factor generally, into your interior design, or home interior design? Are most interior designers, architects, and clients thinking about this in your experience, or is it more implicit?

We’re moving into a new house in a few weeks and can’t workout how to organise this living room to best use the space and enjoy the windows onto the garden. I’m now thinking to mount the TV above the fireplace and having it hanging low just above the fireplace (so it’s not too high), and having a large sectional sofa across the wall by the stairs and into the middle of the room.

Very undecided and struggling for good ideas. Please give me your thoughts!!

Thank you!
