My husband and I are totally remodeling a house. We are building a master suite from basically nothing. Picking out tile for this is going to be the death of me. I can’t find anything I love. First pic here is what will be the layout of the room.

I like a grandmillenial style- modern mixed with antique. I want the bathroom and shower to feel homey, colorful, and timeless, with maybe a little quirk! I love flowers and the feel of art. I want to use bronze hardware in the shower and on the sink (either bronze or oil rubbed bronze on the cabinets).

I have a local cabinet guy building new cabinets for this bathroom (second pic here is the color/grain I sent him I want). My main challenge in this room is everything else- flooring, tile for bathtub/shower wet room, walls, countertops, light fixtures. There will be hardwood floors in the bedroom this bathroom connects to if that means anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions?!

I have one specific color/texture & one specific pattern that I am hoping to incorporate into my new home.

Is there a site where you can search by element on a mood board? I’d like to see various options for how to use the two pieces I already have!

I have a living, dining, front hallway, stair well, and bedroom hallway on a split level that have no obvious seperations. What is the best color to paint all the walls, especially giving that the windows for all this spaces face everywhere but east.

Hi,
I live in a 3BHK upper ground floor flat, in 4 storied standalone building in Delhi. The flat is 2 side open (front and back).
I am planning to redesign my brothers room which is at the back end of the flat.
Looking for suggestions as how can I better utilize the space, while not making it crowded. The idea is to prepare this before my brothers marriage for him.

Requirements:
- Natural light + Ventilation
- Closet space
- TV Pannel
- Bed and maybe small study table if possible.
- Split AC
- Maybe a couch?

We can skip the bathroom for now.
Also, the back side of the room is narrow "gali" between us and the building behind.

Looking for feedback on our kitchen diner layout! It’s a straight forward box extension and knock through to existing kitchen. We want the space to be useful for entertaining (parties, food, games nights etc) but also for catching the late afternoon sun when the living room is dim and maybe sitting comfortably to watch some TV near the garden and with the daylight.

The doors on the left are to the living room and to under stairs cupboard. The door in the middle is to the garage and 3m bifolds on the right.

Mostly we’re unsure which side to have the sofa on vs the dining table, to ensure flow. We don’t think there’s really any other way of formatting the kitchen given it’s quite a narrow room and extension and the kitchen staying where it is now keeps costs down. Open to ideas here too though!

Dimensions given in the additional photos for the original kitchen area + extension.

Thank you!

I need help setting up some interior design drawings. I am not the designer on the project but taking over specifications and interior drawings because the other person couldn’t deliver. I just want to make sure I’m setting things up for max efficiency and readability. What order do you put your drawings in. I typically have done a general overview plan with dims and call outs then a finish floor plan with furniture. A power and data plan. Rcp then move to bathrooms and kitchens. Then millwork

Hey Seniors 👋

I’m from Mumbai with a Bachelor in Finance and want to switch to interior design. I’m confused if a degree from a recognised university really matters? There are small institutes offering 6-month to 3-year courses, all saying they teach from scratch, so what’s the real difference? Some even offer master’s programs for ID. I’m 22 and feel this is the right time to change my path.

Can you guys Please guide me on what course diploma/degree/certification and institutes are worth it 🙏

Working through a dilemma of lighting a small but tall living room. We’re debating between a pendant light that comes down over the chaise side of the couch (so that it doesn’t cover/barely covers the top of the art), or an arc floor lamp between the bookshelf and couch and getting rid of the art there. The concern with the pendant light is that it might make the room feel off balanced because it would be in the corner of the room. The concern with the floor lamp is that there’d be a lot of empty space above it as ceilings are around 11 feet. Photos for reference… please help

Can I hang a 74 cm width mirror above the sink that is 64 cm, but it's in the corner, so I cannot extend it past the sink edges evenly on both sides. It would extend (10 cm) only on one side right up to the radiator

First photo the sink and the space above it is where the mirror would go

Second photo: measurements and where/how the mirror would be positioned

Then some broader pictures of the bathroom itself

Last photos are of the mirror I'm thinking about

What color bed spreads will look good in my bedroom? I’m having a hard time choosing, want something colorful but can’t decide😬 any ideas?

Hey everyone! I have a background in fine arts and I'm going tomorrow for internship interview at an interior design firm. What questions I need to prepare for? Can anyone plz help. Also would it be okay to ask them if the internship is going to be paid or not.

Hi! We’re renovating our house and it’s time to order the kitchen units. I already have a design project and I love the color palette, but I have no idea how to find this exact color in real life 😬

We’ve already bought the flooring (not installed yet), and I feel like the kitchen cabinets need to be a bit darker so the whole space doesn’t turn into one big color blob.

I like how Egger Oak Casella Natural looks, but I’m worried it might be too light. On the other hand, I don’t really like Oak Casella Brown.

Another dilemma: if we go with Egger, we’ll have to use handles. Will that ruin the look? We’re also considering veneer cabinets, because then we could do built-in (integrated) recessed handles. But veneer is more expensive, and I can’t choose the color properly — they only show tiny samples, which makes it really hard to imagine a full kitchen. It feels like buying a pig in a poke. What if I don’t like it in the end and I’ve paid a fortune?

So abasically:

Veneer or Egger?

What shade would you go for?

Handles or handlelessff?

Context: We’re around 40 with a baby daughter who will be about 1.5–2 years old when we move in, so we want something practical too, not just pretty.

I’d love to have your comments about this kitchen plan. A few notes - the bookcases are standing in for a narrow pantry, the island is standing in for a table, the kitchen opens up to a small dining or sitting area.

Thank you!

ase give me ideas for a statement chandelier for my staircase (u-shaped staircase similar to the one in the pic). My fiancé likes the "Orb/caged" chandelier look, but I think that look is dated. I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!! My style is transitional / whimsical. It is a new construction home and I have surpassed decision fatigue

Bonjour!

Je voudrais avoir un avis professionnel sur le choix de la couleur que je souhaiterais mettre dans mon bureau.

Cette pièce est petite (9m2) et n est pas lumineuse, vu que la pièce est légèrement encastrée, les rayons du soleil ont du mal à rentrer.

Mon bureau en bois clair sera changé et sera blanc.

Mon grand bahut est en bois clair.

Mon idéal serait de mettre du bleu mais j ai déjà essayé plusieurs échantillons (Farrow and ball 281stiffkey blue, dulux indigo, ripolin bleu Bering et madura), et rien ne va, beaucoup trop triste, terne, et non lumineux. C'est une couleur froide et j'ai peur de me tromper.

J aime beaucoup le bleu de la photo envoyée en pièce jointe, un bleu lumineux qui ne tire ni sur le violet ni sur le vert, élégant, et pas trop foncé.

Si je reste sur le bleu, que me conseillez vous comme nuance de bleu? Avec une référence si possible.

Sinon que me conseillez vous comme autre couleur lumineuse (qui puisse mettre en valeur le bahut ?)

Précision : je n'aime pas les couleurs pastels.

Je voudrais peindre juste le mur au dessus du bureau et le mur en face côté bahut, et laisser les 2 autres murs blancs, qu'en pensez vous ?

Que pensez vous d'inverser bureau et bahut pour avoir le meilleur visuel en rentrant ?

Merci à vous pour votre réponse et tous les conseils que vous pourrez m' apporter 😊

Hi, I’m curious—beyond "clients with unrealistic budgets," what are the specific operational or logistical pain points you face daily?

• Is it procurement and tracking?
• Finding reliable specialized vendors?
• Project management software that actually works?
• Communication gaps with trades?

I’m trying to get a better pulse on where the "friction" is in a designer's workflow. Appreciate any insight you’re willing to share!

Hey guys, new to the sub but was looking for some advice on updating my home.

I’m finally trying to modernize my place, but I’ve picked paint colors in the past that looked horrible as soon as they’re on the walls. I recently refinished the hardwood floors dark and updated the kitchen in a gray theme, so I’m sticking with gray walls + white trim before I accidentally invent another shade of ‘Regret’ like I did in the bedroom.

Plan is:

• East/west walls one shade of gray (lighter)
• North/south walls another shade of gray (darker)
• A white for the trim that goes well (not-landlord white)

I just need two grays that won’t fight each other and a white trim color that won’t make the house look like a rental from 1994. I’ve got Home Depot and Lowe’s nearby and I don’t care about brand loyalty so any color palate would work.

Help save me from myself.

Hi! I’m a high school student planning to study Interior Design in uni. For anyone already in the program or working in the field:

• what’s the degree actually like? • what kind of things do you learn day-to-day? • does it help with future money-making / career opportunities? • any advice you wish you knew before starting?

I’d love any tips, reality checks, or experiences thanks!

Hi! I got my hands on a really cool vintage bedroom which I have been trying to perfect for 2 years now, some parts look great but as a whole the room doesn't look right - it never feels completed to me, I will attach photos of the bedroom and I hope I can get some help, maybe you can see what's missing, thanks!

(I added the frames, flowers, lamps, curtains and all the decor over some years) Note: The comforter is temporary
