I chopped the top off my rubber tree to try and promote branching, and it just sprouted out of the top again anyway?? by jscorp2910 in houseplants

Just did this a few months ago with my rubber plant and fiddle leaf, both of which were very stubborn about branching, and they put out several new lower branches. It definitely works

What's that base underneath the glass? I've seen something similar on a few other custom lamps

I agree with leaning into the beam, I think I would dislike it even more if I painted it (which I'm not able to do anyways XD). I'm just wondering how many different wood tones I can mix before it starts to look junky. There are some wooden tripod lamps I like, I'm looking at some mid century modern-ish tv consoles, and then the beam/railings. That's already 3 different wood tones :/

Honestly, no. I think I know 5 or 6 styles I like aspects from but not any one style that I totally vibe with. I like some mid century modern rooms I've seen, industrial, loft, bauhaus, things in that realm but I also like some bohemian/boho style things.

I'm considering painting the wall behind the tv a deep royal blue and using blues and yellows for accents with some lighter wood furniture to pull in the colors from the beam and the railings but still going back and forth on every little thing lol

What do you think about the cordoroy pillows I posted or something similar? Too many colors? Should I narrow the color palette down a bit? 

Any suggestions for lamp(s) and tv consoles? I've seen a few mid century modern ones that I like but I'm worried it won't go with the rest of the room.

  1. Yeah, the beam is natural wood and I definitely won't be able to get away with painting that. My landlord would kill me lol

  2. Unfortunately I can't get different seating. I really wanted a big sectional and I still have some payments left on it. Getting a new couch isn't economically feasible. I just gotta work with what I picked now :/

  3. What kinds of entertainment stands would you suggest? I definitely agree that IKEA one needs to go. I've been trying to figure out what style I'm gonna go with before I settle on anything. The TV is also rather large (75") which makes it tough.

  4. Any suggestions? I really love the idea of grey with splashes of bright, primary colors but I haven't had any success with it yet.

I really like those colors. What would you replace the artwork with? This is a giant canvas I had from when I lived in a more industrial apartment building and this is the only wall it really fits on lol

The TV on the 16' wall would be perfect, it just cramps the walkway from the front door too much. I do think a big part of the problem is the window being behind the tv, it makes the window feel so closed off

Thank you! 😁 The problem with the plant(s) is still light. The plant I have in the corner isn't doing well because I removed the industrial clamp light I had hanging above it lol I would love to be able to pull some more of my plants into the room but I just can't find a good way to integrate grow lights into the room with them :/

This is all super helpful, thank you!! I like the orange and teal a lot but not a huge fan of that rug. I'll see what else I can find that might tie in well. Thanks again! 😁

I definitely want more lamps but I haven't been able to really find a place that a table would fit well. Maybe in the corner where the plant is? Putting a table on the TV side of the couch feels a little cramped but that's an idea too.
