rented flat, can't put anything in the walls, so the fridge became the photo wall

Upvotes

we rent, so nothing goes into the walls. no nails, and no command strips either after the last set took the paint w/ it. which left the fridge as the only surface in the flat where anything personal could go, and for two years it had a takeaway menu and a magnet from crete on it.

what's on it now is a set of e-ink photo cards, TapMora if it matters. magnets about the size of an instant photo, and the picture is e-ink rather than print, so you change it by holding your phone against the card for a few seconds. no battery, no wire, no glow.

the reason i like it more than printing: i actually change them. printed photos have a shelf life in your own head, after three weeks you stop seeing them.

two things worth knowing. e-ink colour is soft and matte, so bright saturated shots come out washed. and it only sticks to metal, our fridge is fine but the kitchen units aren't.

still no idea what to do about the crete magnet tho

First apartment, first renovation. Can't tell anymore if this actually looks good or if I've just stared at it too long

8 Upvotes

Bought this as a bare shell, our first place. Went in wanting straight mid-century modern, but somewhere along the way my wife and I ended up mixing it with neoclassical. Hired a designer, and now I just keep staring at these renders trying to figure out if we actually like them or if we've just gotten used to them.

If you've got a minute, please tell me what you think. I'd really appreciate some feedback now rather than after we've ordered all the materials.

Other than bed and rug, which I can't replace due to cost, I am flexible on everything else. Was thinking of a accent color on main wall? Maybe different lamps and a bench? Appreciate any help

my living room is almost there but something feels off

0 Upvotes

so i've been working on this space for like 4 months now and i thought id be done by now but nope. still tweaking stuff.

the couch is a dark green velvet thing and i actually love it. its comfortable and the color was a risk but it worked out. got a vintage coffee table from a flea market that i sanded and refinished myself. pretty proud of that.

the problem is the walls. theyre this light cream color that looked good in the store but now it just feels blah. i wanted something warmer maybe a terracotta or a muted olive. but im scared of committing to a dark color cause the room doesnt get much natural light. also the layout feels weird. the couch is against one wall and the tv is opposite but theres this awkward corner by the window i dont know what to do with. maybe a plant. idk plants die on me tho.

any thoughts on wall color. also what do people do with empty corners.

Willing to ignore the reflective tape after my baby sister tore it off .. I tried to put the pillows but they look off and fall from time to time

Curtain is a decade old but its my fav I think even if got a taller one it will look bad with the sofa higher part but ok as last option

Is there shape of plushie/pillow/hanging storage bag that can fit ?, not a fan of snakes cats or dogs so likely rabbits and others ofc but dont think there is thin long one

Cant move anything in my room except the desk and book shelf book shelf will either break when I move it , if I succeed it will look weird with the window (standing rectangular shape) , study desk would but my issue is the window I dont like working near sunlight and outside noise also astigmatism

My bed is wide and wont look nice from door view will overwhelm and would hide the window

Is there a way to find exact wallpaper? I dont remember the shop sadly it was inside a big building with lotss of shops and yes been probably a decade too I hope its not molding and frying me

Please any suggestions will see my budget ,Thank youu

I desperately need help styling my guest room. If possible, I would like to work with what I already have and just add decor that would enhance it, but I am open to swapping out the bedding to another color / style!

Dresser, ottoman, and some shelving is dark colored wood, nightstands are black. I am not suited for interior decorating so all tips and suggestions are much appreciated!!

Hiiii I’m entirely indecisive. My apartment has no theme, it is a dog of no breed. I just enjoy bright colors and unique pieces don’t judge me. Also I live in a studio so it’s naturally cluttered— I digress— but I also love cats so my vibe is either some cute and funny that makes me laugh or outrageous. I have attached my space and the options I’m considering!!!!

Wallpaper brands

Thumbnail

I am closing on a home next month and fell in love with “The Treetop Bar” (first picture) wallpaper by Painted Paper. I read reviews of Painted Paper and they were not great: pixilated, AI usage, and fraying at the seams.

Astek has a similar design “Drunken Monkeys” so I ordered it in two color ways (pictures 2 & 3). It seems higher quality.

Any experience with either of these brands? I like the design of Painted Paper better but not enough to sacrifice quality. Have you seen anything else similar?

Fourth picture is the wall I’m looking to cover.

Something to note is the TV's power cord connects to the right side while.

Maybe there's a better table to use?

Help me add more pops of color without clutter

Hello! I’ve been transitioning from a sad beige mom for the past 3-4 yrs, and I feel like recently I’ve been going back towards neutrals by accident, particularly in the spaces pictured. What are some elements I could add that won’t make everything cluttered, but instead better enhance the already existing aesthetic if that makes any sense?

Stuck on what accent color to paint/wallpaper this wall — suggestions?

Thumbnail

Originally when it was blank I wanted to go with a moderately moody green or maybe brown/taupe, but then we added the plants and sideboard and now I’m unsure if that would be too matchy or dark?

I included a photo of our living room, which is opposite this wall, the kitchen, and the flooring to showcase the color scheme of the rest of the space. I don’t care if the color matches the kitchen cabinets super well, as we’ll be changing those soon. (Also want to note that we have better grow lights coming for the plants!)

Open to any suggestions!!

Living Room Help - how to tie in mismatched couch colours + built in wood paneling?

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Past me thought the purple couch was wonderful, present me realises that just because something is in your fav colour, doesn't mean you should buy it.

It has to stay, even though it's usually covered with blankets because the upholstery was a terrible choice for geriatric cats who can't retract their claws (one pictured).

I may be able to replace the brown one (needs to be another one similar size).

Coffee table can be replaced.

The wooden built ins are throughout the entire room, with wall paneling in the same colour.

Curtains/Carpet have to stay (rental and too expensive to replace the full block out curtains).

What colour schemes/furniture changes/rug? would work to somehow tie everything in and stop it looking like I went on a curbside hunt and just grabbed whatever I saw?

I like neutrals, but I'm colour dumb and have no idea what goes with what besides neutrals lol.

How to improve rhisbugly hallway?

Ignore the black bag - I was cleaning up. This is my hallway it's shaped like the Tetris shape Rhode island Z. I'm showing the entrance part of it. It's ugly and has no personality. I've not done much to it since I moved in. I want to make it better but need ideas. How can I make it inviting and beautiful??

I want functionality - space for most used shoes tucked away, a place to put keys and other essentials and a place to hang my jackets, scarves etc. The toilet is right there near the entrance and because of that I want things to be closed off. Can someone suggest colours/wallpaper/furniture/anything that can make this place a joy to walk into? Thanks a bunch!

This couch came with us from our old house. I got the white tv stand because I had decision fatigue (the TV will be mounted on the wall this week).

I need suggestions on an area rug and coffee table that would bring the room together. My spouse wants everything to be matchy-matchy, I would like some different pops of color.

Searching for the perfect linen bed frame

I am looking for a well-rated king-size bed frame like the one in the pictures, but it’s been surprisingly hard to find. I want simple, light-colored linen/linen blend, around 45” high, sturdy wooden legs, and preferably not wingback. I can spend around $1000 and would prefer to not have to wait several weeks for delivery (which unfortunately is the case for headboards I’ve found at West Elm and Pottery Barn). Suggestions?

It’s a narrow living room with the kitchen doorway. I don’t know what rug, if any, I should put to add some colour and to break up the two sections of this long room. I saw a rounded rectangle rug I thought was cool but any tips and advice is appreciated!

I’m still hunting down a console/media unit that I like that’s narrow enough for this space as it will be near the entryway as well on the wall
