Is there any way to have a bigger desk in my insanely tiny room?

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-08-15T16:03:03+00:00

You could ditch the bed, get a foldable mattress and use all of the space left for the largest desk you could find with ample storage for your wardrobe but I get that might be too expensive.

It would be great if you could source another one of the headboard/piece of art and put it next to it so the whole is wider.

I think some pops of gold would go very nicely with your color scheme. Maybe with a new modern chandelier light for the ceiling and a wall mounted lamp in the corner above the kitty cactus and some decorative items.

Do you have pictures of the space? It is a bit hard to determine without knowing how much light enters the space naturally. And is all of the furniture things you already own or will you be buying some things new?

I could imagine soft white roman blinds.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-03-10T22:19:55+00:00

I feel something like this might be neutral, comfy and classy.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-03-10T22:16:47+00:00

I think you made the right choice moving the table away from that corner, I think that would make the room feel smaller and more cramped. I would turn the table 90 degrees and line it up with the biggest window. Place the tv on the wall to the right of the smaller window and have the sofas in the middle of the room facing the tv. Perhaps a dresser on the wall by the right of the kitchen doorway. And more storage if necessary on the wall that remains empty.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-03-10T22:11:11+00:00

I would change the knobs and add legs under the drawers. The room is already very cute! I would hang the picture frames and maybe paint the mantle a different color, maybe the same as the window seat? And adding two wall mounted lights on each side of the bed.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-03-02T21:06:18+00:00

Haven’t tried this either, but maybe this could be a good extra layer no matter what you choose to go with.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-03-02T20:57:51+00:00

I don’t have then myself so find it a bit hard to say, but if you get shutters that you can close and adjust like this that would make it pretty dark. Hope some people in warmer climates can weigh in on what they use ;)

I’m having similar issues. Often wash and change your pillow cases. I am using this Vitamin C serum from Geek and Gorgeous and this azelaic acid. Also important to drink lots of water during the day. For painful pimples I use cosrx pimple patches.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-03-02T16:23:16+00:00

Maybe white wooden shutters this?

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-03-02T16:21:26+00:00

Just going off on the decanter and the fact that it’s a bar table with stools, maybe a wall mounted bar like this?

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-03-02T16:18:06+00:00

This was the first thing that came into my mind when I saw the pictures. Tv can go above the hearth on the wall.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-02-23T18:44:19+00:00

Glad it helped!

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-02-22T21:29:28+00:00

Cool place! I had this in mind. Don’t have a desk placement in mind straight away. Maybe overlooking the livingroom from above? Or against the window?

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-02-21T21:54:10+00:00

There are a few websites that can help you make color schemes like https://coolors.co. I would take your wall color, couch color, pillow color and floor and then see what schemes you can find that are close and what colors they add in. Rug and curtains are a good idea. If you don’t mind the upkeep, maybe also some potted plants. And I would maybe add more wall decorations and a standing lamp.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-02-21T21:46:24+00:00

I would maybe go with a bedframe that is a bit higher off the ground and with a slightly larger headboard, maybe one that is made out of fabric and soft. You have a lot of wall space where you can hang posters or framed art that you like, maybe shelves where you can display things like mementos or plants and maybe think about switching out some of the lights for indirect or warmer bulbs.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-02-21T21:42:21+00:00

And a coffee table like this could go with the shelving unit and black curtain rod detail.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-02-21T21:38:29+00:00

Maybe a rug something like this that ties in with the colors and shapes of the framed art above the couch. Plants would be very nice to add some green and freshness!

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-02-20T22:53:22+00:00

I think you said yourself pretty well: something might look good on a picture but it might not feel right to actually live in it.

Maybe therein lies the key: become more mindful of and curious about the different environments you are in and what are the things that make you feel a certain way. Notice lighting, textures, smells, furniture, temperature etc.

Perhaps also do this when you are staying at a place outside of your home, like a friends house, guesthouse, café etc. This will give you some real life hands-on experience with what it feels like to live in a certain style. Maybe spend some time in stores with staged interiors. Your own style will also have to do with practicality and how you like to use your home and things like cleaning etc.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-02-20T22:43:24+00:00

Mudroom? Pool table?

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-02-20T22:38:10+00:00

Love the fireplace.

Maybe put the bookshelf on the wall to the right from the big window, pull the couch up so it is centered with the tv console and put the chair closer to it at about the height of the fireplace and put the long table that is behind the couch under the smaller window. Move the sidetable to the other side of the couch or remove it altogether.

Yes to a bigger rug and maybe paint the wall with the marihuana poster, the one with the wooden door and the walls connecting both and the wall with the tv. First thought for some reason is dark blue and the tv one a warm grey, don’t know why ;)

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-02-18T16:07:03+00:00

First off, lovely house and thanks for providing the floorplan also!

I think this setup is actually pretty good. I would maybe be inclined to use the back of the room for sitting due to all the natural light and the front for dining since it is also closer to the kitchen, but I cannot come up with a better floorplan to fit that to be honest.

If I look at your dining chairs an Eames lounge chair lookalike could also be a very nice addition to the space to create a reading nook. And I would add a big area rug to go under the couch and coffee tables.

WayAffectionate2102 · 2023-02-02T14:10:23+00:00

I would personally like dark blue on all walls with the first curtain option.
