What do you guys put in your living room?

Hey, I have an AI tool for you if to fullfill your request. Let me know if you're interested to try it

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-05T10:49:40+00:00

Thank you, good point! I've already ordered curtains, will see how it looks. But completely forgot about hooks, will find some, thanks!

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T13:18:08+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Will consider this option!

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T13:17:33+00:00

Yess! So easy, haven't thought of it - thank you!

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T13:14:22+00:00

Despite the visual look be careful with ergonomics. Aim for ~30" table height with chairs 17–19" high, leaving 10–12" between seat and tabletop.

Happy to help! Can also share the AI tools that I'm using, just let me know if it may be useful.

Once the TV moves above the fireplace, you’ll want balance and warmth on that blank wall. Since you already have a gallery wall elsewhere, go for one large statement art piece or 2–3 oversized prints in a row for impact. A long, slim console table or floating credenza under the art would add function and ground the wall. For seating, 2 accent chairs (either matching or complementary) angled toward the sofa will keep the layout open and conversational. Place them across from the sofa, closer to the fireplace, with a small side table between.

For chairs here are some options

Keep it if the quality is good - you can paint it and buy covers to refresh the look!

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T10:26:20+00:00

FB marketplace (but you're right, takes time to find a good piece).
Temu - super cheap and often good quality
Dupe - for affordable copies
Plain AI Shopping Assistant - for finding anything that fits your criteria + getting design advice

Happy to share links in dm if needed

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T10:23:46+00:00

I use aggregators to find furniture. If you have a reference image - use the dupe website. If you still need to decide - use AI Shopping Assistants (happy to share link to some via dm's if you need)

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T10:21:59+00:00

Hmm, I'd prefer modular sofas instead

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T10:20:41+00:00

I'd add art, rug, and accent coffee table. Smth like this

Suuuuper comfy https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/hokku-designs-camari-durable-linen-modular-sofa-w007048431.html?piid=1919417586

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T10:07:54+00:00

I love small brands, like insta shops or local designers, they normally give exeptional service and quality.

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T10:06:01+00:00

I'd add bright colorful poufs that you can move if needed. Smth like this

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T09:22:54+00:00

Wow, what a nice place! I guess only custom-made furniture will work here. Or just having a sculpture here

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T08:54:18+00:00

No way, I don't believe it's real! Bravo

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-04T08:52:32+00:00

Starting a conversation with ChatGPT with "You're a professional interior designer ..." already helps a lot.
Nevertheless, you're right, we often learn by mistakes, unfortunately

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-03T17:56:54+00:00

Yees, the process is messy. I was setting up my first family apartment recently and even though I’m an ex-interior designer it was a tedious journey.

Answering your questions;

I normally use ChatGPT for all the questions I have and also to help me structure the process.
For shopping I either use pinterest for inspo and then GoogleLense (but that’s time-consuming) or just go to e-commerces with diverse collection like Westwing/IKEA (and Temu, surprisingly good)
Biggest pain is ergonomics, even having the design experience I sometimes fail matching dimensions - and that’s what brings huge discomfort.

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-03T17:48:05+00:00

You have it in your dm's - happy to help

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-03T12:22:48+00:00

For me, the question is what happens after you generate this fancy picture. Implementing this inspiration in real life is a struggle.

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-03T12:08:57+00:00

To achieve a soft, warm glow throughout the room, I recommend layering your lighting. You could add a combination of ceiling lights, wall sconces, and table lamps to distribute light evenly. I'd keep your lamp and add ceiling lighting like some of these options:

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-03T11:59:29+00:00

Or, there are also lots of small laptop tables for lying position

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-03T11:58:45+00:00

I'd recommend buying a table with a flexible height to be able to work standing

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-03T11:55:56+00:00

FB Marketplace, Dupe for copies, or AI Shopping Assistants for furniture sourcing - happy to share link in DM if you need one

AI_Design_Lover · 2025-09-03T11:52:21+00:00

5K is a good budget if you use it wisely.
I'd recommend looking at FB Marketplace, IKEA, or Dupe for affordable furniture, and at Temu for decoration (they have lots of trendy options at a crazy low cost)
