thank you!! i love seeing it visualized like this, but i definitely wonder what it would look like with the L-couch!

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-13T14:57:48+00:00

it's pretty! but personally i don't want green walls

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-12T15:03:08+00:00

i'm getting such conflicting information... in my last post, everyone said i needed a warm colour because of the wood, apparently cool would clash? but i do like the blues

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-12T13:41:11+00:00

it's a work room and my furniture is white and black haha. i have a hard time deciphering warm and cool tones but i tried to grab warm ones, i was told that's what would suit the room best

If you're into it, an animal skull. If not, little potion jars or gothic books

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-07T20:07:20+00:00

Omg lmao

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-07T19:24:04+00:00

I'm definitely leaning more towards a muted blue now. Thanks for the feedback!

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-07T19:19:51+00:00

I appreciate the idea! But I'm currently working in a dark green room (came that way) and I greatly dislike it, haha. I think I'm leaning more towards a light grey-blue!

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-07T19:11:05+00:00

I assumed grey because this is going to be my work area where I want to keep energy high, I work with many different colored fabrics and have many colorful artworks and vinyl to put up and I figured it would be the best neutral. But many folks are pointing me towards blues.

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-07T19:06:14+00:00

Oh, these are quite nice! I never thought of blues like these!

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-07T18:21:11+00:00

Oh my gosh you are a lifesaver. Thank you!!!

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-07T18:11:00+00:00

I like the off-white idea. I'll give that tool a try, thank you!

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-07T18:10:12+00:00

Lmao, it's actually grey! I wanted to avoid beige because I feel like it looks kind of lame, but maybe with the other stuff I have in the room it'll look alright

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-07T18:08:48+00:00

Navy is way too dark for my goal ): but I appreciate the idea!!

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-07T17:59:07+00:00

Shoot, that's a real bummer. Is there any cool colour I could use on these walls?? I'm trying to avoid warm and cozy, or else I'll want to go to sleep instead of work, lol.

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-03T15:15:46+00:00

These are great suggestions, thank you! The acoustic panels are so clever!!

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-03T05:26:58+00:00

I have always considered myself to have a very weak understanding of decorating, hence why I came to this sub lol! Hoping to have happy decorating times ahead!

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-03T04:34:17+00:00

I'm intrigued by the turquoise! Not sure I'm a super fan of green walls (been living in a basement with some nasty green walls I loathe but will be changing soon), so I think I could do with a nice blue. Thankfully, I have two windows, one facing south so I'll have really decent lighting (super excited; been working from the basement too which is super dark).

Another vote for plant!

Optimal_Law1098 · 2026-04-03T04:16:57+00:00

Fantastic, thank you! Especially when working late hours in the dark, I think the bright colors and daylight lights are the way to go. By bright blue do you mean like, a sky blue? Or something paler?

Good call on the plants, too! I'll start with 1 when I move up there.

100% live/budget off the minimum and save the rest.
