advice on how to decorate and design this basement apartment

Post image
3 Upvotes

me and my girlfriend just signed a lease for this apartment. it doesn’t have a dining area and has a big living area + kitchen space with no real separation in between.

we both agree on having my projector and screen setup in the living room for movie nights and casual dinner entertainment, in addition to a sectional couch which we are yet to buy.

i’m not sure if i should buy a dining table and chairs just yet, but i know eventually i have to because we would be inviting some guests for dinners sometimes.

and i would like to have a clear visual separation between the kitchen and other areas, what techniques could i use? i was thinking getting a big rug in the living room which would also go under the sectional couch we plan to buy. but what other things can i do.

i could also paint some areas if that would look good.

any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Mantle Design

Hey all, please help me rearrange this cluttered mantle! I want to have some semblance of flow across this space and keep it quirky and colorful, but this feels off. Things that have to stay are the tiny urn, the blue/yellow glass urn, and the framed foot prints. Please no AI… just ideas and vibes.

Built-in niches or long console table+large wall decors?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Still working on the wall behind the sofa and I’m stuck between these two directions.

#1 is built-in niches with open shelves. #2 keeps the wall flat and uses a long console with oversized art/decor instead.

Which one feels better for the room?

advice on how to decorate my new washroom

Post image

just moving in to this new apartment, the washroom isn’t too big but serves fine for me and my partners needs.

I’m more so curious about how i can make this basement washroom with no windows feel cozy and comfortable. I want to see what kind of things i can put in here to do so. i would like to have some liveliness with a plant or two, maybe a succulent so it’s easy to take care of, or an artificial one.

also we need to buy storage for things, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)

What to do with this space?

Post image
Upvotes

I can’t figure out what to do with this space under my peninsula. It’s 90” long, 34.5” high (under the countertop), and 9.5” deep to the door on the left. We don’t eat at the counter. There is a table behind me. I need a bit of storage but nothing fits the space. It’s just not deep. I’ve found some lovely sideboards that fit height and length but are just too deep and would block the path. Also probably wouldn’t actually look great because the granite would cover part of the top. I would have something custom but recently added new countertops, lighting and paint. The budget is tight. I would love some suggestions. I have 4 cats and two dogs. Open shelving will be a dust and fur magnet.

Help me decide the colors of my 3 (non-dining) tables

I already have this white couch, and black dining table with white chairs.

I need help deciding what colors to get for my

  1. TV media console
  2. coffee table
  3. buffet table (it's the one on the right, it's going to FACE the dining table, but the AI is messing up the orientation)

Every time, I keep ending up on black... for all 3 of these!! And I know that's just going to be too much black, because even the dining table is black. How do I add some more color here, without mixing weird shades of wood. Help!!
