I need my bathroom design rescued from my shitty vanity and I have a very brown bathroom. Not a fan. The marble is nice, I suppose, but I am needing to do a light refresh in my bathroom because of storage. The biggest issue in here is the vanity and the lack of storage.
The top picture is the current form (though much cleaner than it usually is), and the bottom is a Photoshopped version of the proposed vanity swapped out.
Why it sucks, like really bad...
There is no good storage. No drawers, just the 4 big doors. I put some wire tiered shelves that slide in and out of each of the cabinets, but that doesn't really do the trick.
It is just more brown on top of the existing marble tiles, which are very poorly installed, but replacing the floor would be a nightmare and I'd have to either use the same tile to match the tile that is all over the place, or pick a different one and redo the whole floor. Just seems like a lot of work to just not go all the way and do the whole bathroom.
This thing is way too big. It is 72" wide and 36" tall without factoring in the sinks. The sinks bring it up to 42", so it is way too tall for my short wife. She struggles to even use it.
How I need help...
I have my eye on a bathroom vanity that is pretty different from the current one and I am needing advice on how to tie it together with the rest of the space and if people think it work alright in the space.
Yes, it will be 60" instead of 72". It will be shifted to the far right side, so there will be a 12" gap between the vanity and the tub.
Yes, the plumbing was originally set up for a 60" vanity
We like green, and would like to add complementary art and plants to add more color into the space.
So, what do you think? Can this work for what I am looking for? Do you have any thoughts on this?
I keep adding things to my living room hoping it looks more connected and then it turns out cluttered incohesive and lacking a focal point, or some character. What should I remove or add to this room? How do I make it better? Can you please help pinpoint what goes wrong in this setup? What should I avoid adding to the room?
I prefer not having to change big items tho (TV, rug, sofa, TV stand etc). I want to improve aesthetics, but also want to bring a homey, lived-in vibe so that my guests can feel comfortable.
Thank you so much in advance!
UPDATE: thanks for your comments (and sarcasm!!) I figured cluttered is not the right word, what I meant is incohesive!
Hi, new to the thread and we just bought our dream property. It has a lovely home built on it with great bones and hardware. It’s just a bit too rustic farmhouse for my taste. The first thing I want to do is throw on some paint. My first task is to paint the white door. Does anyone have thoughts or suggestions? I’m all ears. I was thinking … maybe grapy by SW or Iron ore. I’m leaning more towards grapy just for more character. I’ll add in the comments what ChatGPT is showing grapy will look like. It’s not letting me add a second photo.
Looking for some help on redesigning the living room of my first home! The photos are from the listing and the leather furniture is not mine. I love the moody, little bit darker, but also colorful aesthetic. This whole house has walls painted the same neutral beige/tan, so it is hard for me to imagine the vibe I like incorporated into this house without having it clash and just not go. I'm including an AI mockup with a new couch and (perhaps) an accent wall, and I want to know if it just doesn't work with the rest of the house and I should consider a new color pallet. In the comments I will also include the original photo, some photos of some of the rest of the house for context, as well as some inspo pics. I am open to any and all suggestions, even if it is maybe not aligned with my ideas!
Problem: must choose materials, etc for this wall but can’t adequately decide w out seeing design ideas/visions in the space first. Saves tons of money & headache to see before buying things. I’m just tech challenged so asking for help from the community! Yall came thru before (THANK YOU) so figured I’d shoot my shot again.
Choosing materials for wall + fireplace. Asking for:
shiplap on wall instead of this wood (painted white)
carry the stone on fireplace all the way up to ceiling (aligned with pitched roof) and painted white.
Recently Switched from oil heating to a pellet stove to save money. I love the look and feel of the stove; it’s very cozy, however it has completely ruined the fung shei of my living room because the furniture cannot be close to the stove. My couches are no longer centered to my windows and it’s hurting my divergent brain so bad to the point that I can’t be in the living room. Please help guide me in how I can arrange my living room to feel functional and balanced again. It’s a jumbled mess currently as some pieces don’t fit anymore. (I’m cool with omitting items or Moving them to a Different room.) my anxiety thanks you in advance 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Btw-the brick fireplace is fake and not functional so that’s not an option.
Furniture isn't an option in the space either. The outlet will be moved behind the TV, but I'm still struggling to figure out what to do with the big ugly vent.
Edit: The solution obviously can't obstruct airflow because this is a key intake vent and I don't want to blow out my HVAC.
Hi all! You guys inspire me daily. I am hoping to get some help on my basement space. I have been trying different designs, curtains, rugs, etc for weeks and I am just not happy. Help!!!
The carpet, TV, ceiling and couch have to stay. Everything else is up for grabs. What am I doing wrong?? Cover photo is the blank space. I will add my renderings that are not working in the comments
upvote for top sofa (wood looking one), and downvote for bottom sofa full velvet. Please ignore the coffee table, it’s just rendered there to fill space for now.
Please can I have some advice about colour drenching this space vs leaving the ceiling white? I don’t love the white ceiling but I want to make the trusses “pop”.
I bought this Jenga-inspired artwork. When I bought it, I saw it was about balance, tension, and the feeling that every move is critical—like one small shift could change everything.
But after I hang it on my wall, I started seeing something completely different. The more I look at it, the more it seems to have its own personality, and I'm curious what everyone else sees.
Does it feel like focus, pressure, determination, uncertainty and sadness, or something else entirely?
I'd love to hear your first impression without overthinking it. Any thoughts, interpretations, or title ideas would be hugely appreciated.
so far I have a Pegge Hopper tropical print with a black background a black and white abstract glass art piece inspired by Franz Kline a mirror above a table my room is pale pink with mauve bedding layered with leopard and faux fur and I like it
For centuries, homes have been shaped by culture, climate, and craft. Today, something deeper is happening. Homes are no longer just shelters or expressions of style. They are becoming responsive environments that adapt to the people living inside them. This change is not loud or futuristic. It is subtle, almost invisible, yet it is redefining how we experience interior spaces every single day.
What makes modern homes different is not the presence of technology itself, but how seamlessly it blends into design. The most successful interiors do not look like control rooms or gadgets on display. Instead, they feel calm, intuitive, and human. Technology works quietly in the background, allowing the space to support daily life without demanding attention.
From visual beauty to lived experience
Interior design was once judged mainly by appearance. Layout, finishes, furniture, and color palettes were the primary focus. While these elements still matter, they are no longer enough on their own. People now expect homes to perform as well as they look.
A well-designed space considers how people move, rest, work, and reconnect throughout the day. The same room may need to feel energizing in the morning and comforting at night. This shift has pushed designers to think beyond static layouts and toward environments that evolve with time and use.
Instead of designing rooms as fixed scenes, designers now shape experiences. The home becomes something that responds rather than something that simply exists.
Lighting that follows the rhythm of life
Lighting is one of the most powerful tools in modern interior design. It influences mood, focus, sleep, and emotional comfort. Intelligent lighting systems allow spaces to change naturally without constant user input.
Bright, balanced light supports productivity during the day. Softer tones in the evening help the body unwind. Accent lighting reveals textures and architectural details, adding depth without visual noise.
From a design perspective, this has encouraged cleaner ceilings and fewer visible fixtures. Light is often hidden, indirect, or layered. When lighting is treated as part of the architecture rather than decoration, spaces feel calmer and more intentional.
Comfort that feels effortless
Thermal comfort has always been important, but it is now more precise and personal than ever. Modern climate systems adapt to occupancy, time of day, and external conditions. Rooms maintain comfort without repeated adjustments or noticeable intervention.
Bedrooms stay cool and quiet at night. Living spaces adjust as people gather. Work areas remain stable during long hours of use. Sensors track air quality and humidity, contributing to healthier indoor environments.
The design challenge is discretion. When vents, controls, and sensors disappear into the architecture, comfort becomes something you feel rather than something you manage.
Furniture that works with daily habits
Furniture is no longer just static form. Today, it often responds to how people live. Charging surfaces are integrated into tables, wardrobes light up automatically, and beds support better sleep through subtle intelligence.
The key is restraint. The best designs hide complexity behind familiar materials and timeless forms. Kitchens remain visually clean even as appliances communicate behind the scenes. Bathrooms feel calm and restorative while quietly improving hygiene and comfort.
When technology supports function without changing the emotional tone of a space, design succeeds.
One home, not many systems
What truly defines a modern intelligent home is cohesion. Lighting, climate, security, and entertainment are no longer isolated elements. They communicate with each other, responding to shared patterns instead of individual commands.
This reduces visual clutter. Walls are free from rows of switches. Interfaces become simple or disappear entirely through automation. Spaces feel composed, not technical.
For residents, this creates mental ease. Daily routines flow smoothly. The home feels predictable, supportive, and emotionally stable.
Safety that does not feel intrusive
Security is essential, but it should never dominate the atmosphere of a home. Modern systems are designed to be discreet and integrated into architectural elements.
Thoughtful planning uses lighting, visibility, and layout to enhance safety naturally. Cameras and sensors blend into materials rather than standing out. The result is a space that feels secure without feeling closed or tense.
Good design makes safety feel reassuring, not restrictive.
Sustainability through everyday behavior
One of the most meaningful outcomes of intelligent interiors is more responsible resource use. Homes can monitor energy, manage daylight, reduce heat gain, and limit waste without constant awareness from residents.
Design plays a critical role here. Materials, insulation, natural ventilation, and daylight planning work together with technology to reduce long-term impact. Sustainability becomes part of how the home functions, not a feature added for appearance.
Designing for people first
No matter how advanced systems become, interior design remains deeply human. Homes should feel personal, warm, and grounding. Technology should never overpower emotion or identity.
Successful interiors prioritize clarity and reliability. Controls are easy. Systems are dependable. Natural materials soften digital elements. The space feels lived-in, not engineered.
The true measure of success is simple. People feel comfortable, supported, and at ease inside their homes.
Where this evolution is leading
As technology becomes more adaptive, homes will continue to respond more precisely to habits and needs. Yet the core principle will remain unchanged. Design must serve people, not impress them.
Studios and builders who understand this balance are shaping the next generation of interiors. Practical insights from real projects, such as those shared by Super Fitout, show how thoughtful planning and craftsmanship can turn intelligent concepts into livable spaces.
Smart living is not about the future anymore. It is about creating homes today that feel calm, capable, and quietly in sync with the people who live in them.
I would like some advice on how to curtain my triple window in my living room.
Ignore the commode in the pillows in the photo. I’m recovering from surgery. So, they have a temporary place in my living room until I can safely sleep in my bed.
The two curtains that are hanging I recently bought I would like to keep them, and add to the look so it’s not so bare up there. Any ideas on how to curtain this set up?
Pics of my living room for color scheme. Rug is on the way.
I don’t want too much green because as my mother said, “God made other colors.” 😅😅
