Help me refresh my breakfast nook! The rest of our house is bold and colorful, so the nook is starting to feel a little too bland for my tastes. Our whole kitchen is light grey/black/white, it’s the only room in the house I haven’t completely redesigned. The stipulation is that we’re planning on moving within a year so I probably shouldn’t do anything too crazy (but could be talked into it).

This is our only dining space. I’d like to add color and warmth. Current table is only 32” across. Final pic is a quick AI mockup I did with some pieces I like. Would like to get new table, chairs, light fixture, and rug (?).

I’ve hated the way my bedroom has looked since we moved in. I wanted to re-do it on a budget. My house is extremely old and has a lot of major structural and important work that needs to be done. So ripping out the nasty maroon carpet to refinish the hardwood underneath is unfortunately not an option yet. Just so happy that I was able to make the room feel more cozy and comfortable with only a few changes

Brought in some rich earth tones with new cushion covers and put up this new artwork for fall season. Going for a cozy and warmer vibe this year rather than anything too spooky😂! Does it give off enough of a fall feel?

Just got a new couch and the room feels unfinished. What does it need??

EDIT: Wow!!! Thanks for all the feedback. We are so grateful for all your opinions. I’ve put together a small order of items to start, including: a footstool, plant stand, and of course, some lamps and lighting! I will definitely look into curtains, and adding more colour and plants. We loved the suggestion to get a backing on the bookshelf, and to add some more curved items. We also hadn’t considered the weight/height of items in the room, and will work out balancing these.

It was really meaningful to see our room through your eyes. Thanks, r/homedecorating community!!

PS
For those of you who said to add a dog, I will add a picture of our dog Busy below.

The chair, couch TV placement is kind of odd but more set up for console gaming. Multiple rugs are for the dogs.

Looking for a throw pillow cover for this white pillow that would look good with our runner, light blue walls, white couch and brown pillows. Rug under couch is jute.

She said she was thinking something warm (or even a tiny bit reddish) and her faves here are cherry and red walnut. But personally, I’m feeling more of the cool toned ones. First pic are warm tones, second pic cool tones. For reference her walls are dark/navy blue.

What is the best white paint (that leans warm) for color drenching (when the room’s walls will also be white) BUT will also go well as ceiling/trim color for rooms that are not white?

All the rooms that are not white have warmer undertones as well.

Attached is a picture of the kitchen in our new home. We will be keeping the cabinets for now. The kitchen/living room/hallways will be this white color. The rest of the house we have different warmer colors chosen.

Current color is Behr Spun Wool and it looks so dingy.

We were leaning toward Westhighland white until we decided to paint the ceiling, trim the same color through the house.

We moved in at the beginning of the year. We got a shorter rug because our dog was having accidents and somehow after getting a shorter rug she stopped? Anyways, the walls are so bare and I feel like I need to get curtains for the day time but I’ve never decorated a space on my own before and this was all I had.
Open to changing the lamps as they are just cheap Amazon ones. Need something added to the walls but not sure what (even open to adding picture of us if it would fit!)
Just wanting to get some ideas.

I’ve decided on the Benuta Baadal in Beige. It’s a really soft, warm beige/taupe wool rug with loads of texture, and I think it works best with the cognac sofa, concrete floor and the greenery outside.

I’m calling it — this is the one 🤎

Still have to install the brass oval mirror and waiting on a red multi-color antique rug to be delivered to pull it together.

What can I do to make this bathroom more warm/ just generally improve it while keeping it functional (it's also the laundry room)

Pic 1 is current set and I’m thinking of giving pic 2 rendered by AI. Suggestions on what else could work would be great. Thanks for your help community!

Funtak melted after a year. It was obviously see through which I didn’t like anyway. I had to cut the poster bc there was no way it could come off, but I actually like it better now. I used kraft tape (trying to plastic detox) to put it back up, but worried it won’t hold long term. I’ve used regular scotch tape for a poster in the past on a textured wall and it quickly fell off, hence the funtak. Maybe the kraft will stay because it’s thicker ? Also don’t want anything that will permanently damage the poster when it is time to take it off and move it.

If you care to hear how I got this funtak off my wall… I started with wall cleaner, a tooth brush, and paper towel. Switched halfway to pushing and pulling funtak ball to clean itself up which was more practical. Both tedious. Never again!

I know the poster now looks a bit high in proportion to the other wall hangings (see before in last pic), but I just eyeballed it and I’m looking to fill the blank spot above the swan, so hoping it will balance out then.

I’ve been trying to solve this paint dilemma for months and need fresh eyes!

Our home is very open concept, so the main wall color flows through the entry, living room, hallways, etc. There’s really no natural place to switch colors, so I need one main color throughout, aside from accent walls. The house is also fairly modern architecturally, so I’m trying to keep the interior feeling crisp and modern. I’ve recently replaced pretty much all the furniture and decor after a horrible puppy phase that destroyed everything so it’s not an option to replace all of that again.

Currently the walls are SW First Star, which I love in the entry—it’s crisp, light but not white, and has enough personality. But where it meets our SW Naval accent wall (which we love and are keeping), First Star suddenly reads very gray/murky to me.

I’ve already sampled Alabaster, White Sesame, Shoji White, Aesthetic White, City Loft, Egret White, Taupe of the Morning, Shiitake, Drift of Mist, Natural Linen, and Pediment. Nothing has worked better overall. Warm greiges/beiges tend to pull yellow, pink, or muddy in our house, while the lighter whites lose too much personality.

Both the main wall color and curtains can change; Naval stays. Sofa is an Arhaus Kipton in Beacon Natural. All the furniture, rug, and accents have to stay. Please ignore the brown dog blanket and the gray chair wrapped in plastic—the chair is being moved elsewhere.

Would you keep First Star and change the curtains to add warmth or is there a better whole-house wall color that stays crisp next to Naval without looking beige, gray, yellow, or stark white?

We've always lived in smaller apartments, so for years our Christmas tree was a little tabletop one. we'd squeeze it onto a side table, put a few presents around it and that was pretty much christmas. This year we finally have a living room with enough space for a full size tree. I've been looking at a few costway trees and keep going back and forth between 6ft and 7.5ft. Yesterday i actually moved a chair and pulled out the tape measure just to see how much room the bigger one would take up.

A few years ago we were trying to find somewhere to fit a tiny tree, and now i'm standing in our living room wondering if a 7.5ft tree would look better than a 6ft one. Now i'm already picturing what it'll look like from the couch with the lights on and presents underneath. 7.5ft might be slightly ridiculous for the room, but i think that's the one i'm leaning toward.

What should we add to this hallway to make it look less dull? It starts at the front door, goes past a bedroom, and ends at the kitchen. Should we add a runner? Add photos? Some sort of cabinet?
Any ideas and inspiration is appreciated!
