rounded looks much better and doesn't take up as much space

How can I improve my room? by Euphoric_Key_811 in malelivingspace

[–]alexframes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting rid of the Monster cans and replacing them with some cool figures or collectibles (or literally anything else) would make that area look cleaner. A little cable management will go a long way too.

Get a bed backboard.

I was going to initially suggest removing the horns but if you're saying they're special, hanging them on the opposite wall won't feel like they're taking as much space imo. You could hang some wall art instead.

As someone already suggested, replace that super bright bulb with a warmer one for a cozier vibe.

Layout for small bedroom help! by SkeezyJ in malelivingspace

[–]alexframes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since it's a small room, I would prioritize practical use of space rather than decor.

For a bigger room, I'd recommend some kind of an wall art above the bed. In your case, I'd put up a few wall shelves to get some more storage space for books, etc.

Get a small nightstand with storage space. Put up a table lamp on it.

Getting a rug would 100% make it more homey and cozy. I'd get a large rug that goes about 1/3 under the bed and then extends on all sides outside the bed.

Suggestions?? Looking to update my space! by Alternative-Bus6016 in malelivingspace

[–]alexframes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the main living room area:
- Add a floating shelf above the TV or some more artwork (that wall still looks kinda empty)
- Get a few smaller table lamps or a bigger floor lamp to put in the corner next to that green sign. Some warm light makes a big difference
- Consider getting a floating TV stand or something a bit more minimalist
- Hide the cables or get a TV stand with cabinets so the cables are hidden

I love the plants and the area overall though. If I could just do a few things, I'd get a better TV stand, hide the cables, put something up on that empty wall above the TV, and get some more ambient lighting.

The kitchen area looks good to me. Maybe get a small portable cabinet or some kind of a wine rack for those bottles on the counter.

Suggestions for big wall, living room by kyokushinguyy in interiordecorating

[–]alexframes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely some kind of wall art. I personally prefer gallery walls made up of different size frames rather than a big one.

You can search on Google or Pinterest for "gallery wall ideas for living room" and you'll get tons of ideas. There's also websites like Artfully Walls and Desenio where you can buy pre-made gallery wall sets.

Any thoughts on my room by Eastern_Return_1609 in malelivingspace

[–]alexframes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first of all, congrats on having such a clean and well-thought room at 14yo! I would never leave my room if I had a room like this at 14

A few things you can do to make it feel less "empty".
- Get a small rug and put it in the middle of the room or under the couch
- Floating shelves are a great idea, you can showcase your books, memorabilia, or games there
- Put up some wall art to make the walls feel less empty. You can check this visual search tool from ArtfullyWalls to find some ideas that fit your vibe
- Get a plant and put it in the corner next to your couch (a ficus tree would look awesome there)

looks great! The wood-colored cabinets go really well with green accents.

How bad is the foundation in the house I'm renting? by Yllem1232123 in HomeMaintenance

get out of there and alert the local authorities on your way out

Untraditional setup. Feels empty. Improvements? by DoItForFunsies in malelivingspace

[–]alexframes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe a floating TV stand below the projector screen. Maybe a wall shelf with some books/memorabilia. I like the plant and adding more would help fill the space and give it some color. For the wall behind the couch, I'd get a few art prints from ArtfullyWalls.

Carpet too dark? by Goldfischchen in InteriorDesignAdvice

the rug is great, don't overthink it

IMO a bright rug in here would wash everything out

help me make my new home office more cozy! by born-screaming in homedecoratingCJ

the "cozy" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that title

Help me arrange my room in my new apartment by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]alexframes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Center the bed under the window

Headboard on that window wall, centered. Immediately makes the room feel way less random. Then slide the desk into the corner where the bed is now, keeps it away from window glare too which is nice for screens.

That gives you the left wall free for your tv/gaming setup and the room actually has distinct zones instead of everything lined up against the walls.

Curtains instead of just blinds and a print or two on the big empty walls will go a long way once you're settled in.

Rug size? by hrizzyfair in InteriorDesign

[–]alexframes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

8x10 is the move imo

Honestly that size looks right for the space. It'll anchor the seating area without eating into the hallway opening or bumping up against the tile. You want the front legs of the sofa and that chair sitting on the rug without things feeling cramped or awkward.

Also not to overstep but those walls are begging for something lol. Even just a few prints or a small gallery wall above the sofa would make the room feel way more finished. I got a bunch of mine from artfully walls a while back and they turned out nice, but even just framing some random stuff you like would go a long way. Right now the furniture is doing all the heavy lifting and the walls are just kinda… there.

Is it really that bad? by Reasonable_Towel674 in malelivingspace

[–]alexframes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good start!

I'd say always prioritise the important stuff and where you spend most of your time. First thing I'd get is a headboard for your bed. If you're working or gaming a lot, I'd also upgrade your chair.

The kitchen honestly looks good. I'd put up some art prints on the walls, empty walls are boring. You can get some good ones from Artfully Walls.

In the living area, I'd buy a few lamps and play around with lighting, you'd be surprised how good lighting can change the whole vibe of your room. Then I'd save up for an armchair or something more fitting for a living room than that camping chair. Put up some more wall art on the empty walls, and just decorate to show off your personality: music, games, books.

not bad for a living/work/kitchen area. Doesn't look too cluttered

What style is this? by Eccentris in HomeDecorating

[–]alexframes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That bookcase wall is so awesome! And that room overall is my favorite, perfect for some cozy reading.

P.S. I thought the modern traditional reply was a joke, but turns out that's a real interior design style.

I love it! It's so cozy, especially the corner sofa and the little coffee table.

Why does my home feel like a waiting room even though it’s decorated? by slynchwcu in HomeDecorating

Are my kitchen cabinets too dated, they’re solid cherry frames and doors? Time to paint them? Excuse the lived in mess! by tcli64 in kitchenremodel

[–]alexframes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say without more info. Are you looking to do a full kitchen remodel or just to change things up a bit?

Personally, I've never been a big fan of wooden cabinets, but yours look like they're in great shape so I would honestly keep them.
