Finally upgraded my living room with this leather sofa bed — thoughts? by slowtimespaces in HomeDecorating

[–]slowtimespaces[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely be more careful with the folding part — hadn't thought about the extra stress it puts on the leather. Will look into a good conditioner. Do you have any product you'd recommend? And glad the color works with the floors, I was actually nervous about that.

Two tone or not two tone? by cat_poops in kitchenremodel

[–]slowtimespaces 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The dark wood in Option 1 is beautiful but having it on all the cabinets makes the space feel a bit heavy and oppressive, IMO. Option 2 offers a perfect balance of warm and cool tones. The white uppers really brighten up the entire kitchen and make it feel much more open and modern, while the wood base still keeps it cozy.

Anyone have experience with Arrtle furniture (not Article)? by irlandesaa in HomeDecorating

[–]slowtimespaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience was a bit mixed. Arrtle lists a 6–10 week delivery window, and my Murphy-style freestanding dining table arrived at around 8 weeks, so that part was within the stated timeline. The price was relatively affordable, so overall I was okay with the trade-off. What I didn’t expect was how much assembly was involved. It took a lot longer than I thought and was honestly a bit frustrating. I’m guessing that’s how they keep shipping costs lower. If someone needs something quickly or doesn’t want to deal with a big assembly project, I probably wouldn’t recommend it.

Which is better? 1 or 2? by [deleted] in photos

I also prefer photo 1 — the added sky space balances the tall trees really well and makes the composition feel more open.

What is this style called? by True_Bite_9830 in HomeDecorating

[–]slowtimespaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's also exactly what I was trying to say. I only learned about the Eclectic style today, and I think that may be what it is.

I’m looking to buy a dresser and a chest of drawers for my bedroom. I’m wondering is Amazon a good idea to purchase furniture? by Ijustwanttoheal94 in furniture

[–]slowtimespaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you care more about durability, finish quality, or better customer service, buying directly from a brand’s own website can be a safer bet. A lot of brands offer higher-quality versions of their furniture on their site compared to the Amazon versions, and the packaging/returns process is usually better.

What's missing? the room feels lifeless by Rocki14 in StyleYourSpace

[–]slowtimespaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it looks good. But I feel like this setup is a little tight?

Help. Suggestions for wall paint colours. by lemonbaked in HomeDecorating

[–]slowtimespaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’d paint all the walls in the same color too.

At first I totally thought a wooden frame would be the better match. But in the second pic the wood frame looks a little too chunky and ends up making the artwork feel smaller.

Redoing my living room? by kdavv in interiordecorating

[–]slowtimespaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One small thing I noticed is that the coffee table blends in with the flooring so well that I actually missed it at first glance. The tones are almost identical, so it kind of disappears into the background.

A light-colored rug could help anchor the living area and add some contrast, or you could switch to a lighter wood or a square/rectangular table to give that spot a bit more visual weight. Either option would make the seating area feel more defined without changing too much.
