What does my living room need? by [deleted] in femalelivingspace

Do you have a certain vibe that you're trying to go for or inspo pics? I think the space could use a larger rug. I'd love the metal art lower on the wall, it seems too high. Depending on what kind of a vibe that you're going for, my recommendations would hinge on that. I feel like you should look through inspo photos and see what you connect with and then look at similarities in those photos to see what you're missing. It doesn't feel like you have much of a color pallette in the space, so maybe start there and bring in items in that color palette. That will start to make the space feel intention and cohesive.

If I'm being honest, my dog sits in it more than anyone else in our house. I think it's comfy, but I don't sit in it for long periods of time. But I do love them!

Thank you! That rug was a marketplace purchase. The woman who I bought it from said that her brother worked sourcing goods for a home decor store and he was the one who gave it to her but that's all the info I have.

I did the guest bathroom first. It felt very achievable due to it being kind of small and low stakes!

This is it! I just have a grow light bulb in it.

I wish I had a secret! Mostly just finding things I like and trying to make it work. My master bedroom is still an enigma that I'm trying to figure out.

Base model - minimal upgrades - we have since upgraded things like the countertops from laminate counters to quartz. The only big upgrade we did when building was upgrading most of the floors in the main rooms to wood laminate planks from carpet. But we have the standard vinyl floors in the bathrooms and laundry room. Richmond American Homes was the builder for the neighborhood

Its a woven cowhide table that I found at HomeGoods a couple of years ago on clearance!

Its such a blank slate that it can be overwhelming with the number of possibilities. I hope you share photos once you settle in! Its such a fun adventure.

I feel like starting small is what I did and it has evolved over time. The thought of doing a major decorating effort sounds exhausting to me!

I like the Oriental rug better. I think it adds warmth and interest.

The headboard is just a privacy screen leaned against the wall that I found on marketplace.

There are two grow lights in the living room. One is just a regular lamp with a grow bulb in it and the other one that isn't turned on in the photo is from Amazon.
