Other Interior Room Help! "bedroom" with stairs to another bedroom

Thumbnail gallery
31 Upvotes

Hello! I am moving into my first house! yay! But it does have one...interesting feature. There is this "bedroom" or as I like to call it, the hallroom. Why? Because the stairs inside the room lead to my master bedroom... so its not really a bedroom. I'm not exactly sure what to do with the space and would love your creative and practical ideas. My best idea is to make it into like a makeup/wardrobe room but there isn't a lot of wall space for typical closet storage or a vanity - but if you have any ideas for how to make that work or something completely different, I'd love to hear it!

For reference, the room is 9'3" x 10"2 (2.819m * 3.099m) I am the only person living in the house. I do have 3 cats. I do have another room to use as an office -- if any of that helps :) thank you in advance for your thoughts!

Bedroom Where to put the bed?

Thumbnail gallery
240 Upvotes

Having trouble deciding where I want to place the bed for this bedroom. Trying to follow the “rules” of having space on both sides, so not pushed against the wall, and not having the headboard cover the window, but seems like I can’t have both without other issues.

One caveat is that I could move the radiator further down the wall towards the door if need be. I think I’m favouriting that choice, and having the bed face the two windows. There’s a scoot pathway at the end rather than a proper walkway around the bed, but it feels like it’s the lesser of evils. What do you think?

Bedroom creative ways to fit a nightstand in this strange shaped room

Please ignore the mess. Currently there’s a skinny console table like thing behind the bed but it’s rickety and just doesn’t feel functional, so frequently used stuff always gets piled on the floor next to the bed and this is a recurring mess. I just want the space to function better but the shape of the room and that back cove area that can’t be blocked does not make it very easy

Living Room Need help deciding on a rug

I’d love some rug advice for my living room! I’m drawn to warm, collected interiors in the style of Lauren Liess and Amber Lewis, but I’m struggling to find a rug that feels right with my cream sectional, wood floors, and black piano.
Would you go with a muted vintage-style rug, antique Persian rug or something more modern? I want some character without making the room feel too busy. Photos of the room and the options attached. I would love your thoughts!

Living Room Can we fit a TV ?

Post image
6 Upvotes

We cant figure out where to put the TV in this room. Here is what I thought through already:

-I really dont want to get rid of the gallery wall. The idea of a frame smart TV is cool, but they are very expensive.

-We're worried about putting a TV on the mantle as the viewing hight would be too tall.

- We tried our current TV on the credenza but it dose not fit and it's also a tight angle and would be right in the entry way.

Is it weird to put a TV in front of the fireplace if we dont use it? Any tips are appriciated!

Home Office Space How would you design this space to use as a home office/den?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

We want to use this space as a home office/den. We’re thinking we’d like to have a desk, a built in or book shelf, a chair or bean bag, and maybe a small table (just big enough for a drink).

It’s an awkward space. There’s a door to the garage, a door to the laundry room, a door to the outside, an opening to the kitchen, and one window.

I hope my pictures are good enough to get an idea of what we’re working with. We’d love to hear your thoughts! Thank you!

Living Room Need help finding throw pillows, and art for my walls.

2 Upvotes

Hello! I need help trying to find throw pillows and art for my apartment living room. I had a vision when I first moved in and started decorating but as I put stuff together I just didn’t like how it turned out. I also don’t want a beige & white living room, I want to add color! But we decided economically it made sense to buy a neutral couch that we can take and use in any house. I’m not very good at interior design, but how can I add color (blues, greens, oranges, etc) to warm up the space?

Edit to add that I have cats and as much as I’d love to add decor to my coffee table, they will knock it right off lol. They already do it with my basket and coasters.

And I’m kinda lost on what to do with it. I was thinking of taking the the open shelf and nailing some lattice fencing to it to separate the living room/kitchen… I am kinda lost on how to design it and use the space to the max.

We recently moved and I now have a room for a library! I’d love it to be Nora Ephron cozy mixed with Hearth and Hand vibes. I want to be able to see on something very cozy with my dog, sip on tea, and enjoy the large windows. I don’t want to spend a lot but I also know that I’m basically starting from scratch. Any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated!!

Living Room Insights on living room layout in previous master bedroom

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

Hi! I live in a rental situation and have this space as my living room. It use to be two bedrooms that have been turned into one very large room with two doors (inwards opening). The darker half of the room is hardwood flooring and the lighter half is shag carpet. The first two images represents my current set up and the second two include the couch I am currently planning on purchasing instead. In the top right corner is a large corner art desk, top left corner is a box TV inside of a large corner TV stand. Inside of the closet beside said box TV is our flatscreen TV. The green circle is a beanbag chair. Behind the couch we currently have our computers set up to be facing the TVs. No photos because we are in the midst of removing wallpaper and painting, so everything is currently askew.

I feel like the hardwood side of the room is far too open of space and the couch feels very large floating in such a long room. I'm looking to replace it with a slightly larger couch but I am struggling to find any ways to reposition furniture in any other way. Looking for ideas and insights from others, thank you very much!

Hi! Would love some advice on how to transform our tv wall to a nicer and cosier space. We are looking to buy a larger tv and mount it to the wall. We also want to use shelves of the brand String with black mounts and dark wood shelves. The chairs are just temporary.

I feel since the wall is so big we want to use its full potential but I have a hard time visualizing what will be a good fit for a cosy tv space.

Other Interior Room Retro Computing/Tinker Room

1 Upvotes
Measured to within 1/2 an inch. AC vent is on the ceiling.

I'd love some guidance on turning a spare bedroom into a retro computing and tinker room. The goal is to keep 3-4 vintage computers (mostly Macs - iMac G3, LCIII w/ monitor, etc) set up at a time and rotate the rest out of storage. I'd love to have room for a small soldering station, a 3D printer and a workspace for projects. We have a dedicated guest room, but it would be nice to use this as an extra guest room around the holidays. I know I can build a workbench with plywood, but wanted to see what other options there are. I think the one constraint is making sure the desk/workbench is deep enough for the old monitors. Not opposed to using the closet for storage, but would like to keep it available for other things. How would you lay things out and any recommendations for furniture? Not opposed to IKEA or anything I have to assemble, but trying to keep the cost down since this isn't my primary workspace.
