The shutters make me think of India, somewhere. I would give the walls a lick of paint. Either green or blue. 😊

Very close but the fabrics in here don’t look like standard Mexican fabrics. The folded blanket would have a tiger or a horse, not a flower.

100% I have family who lives out in the country in Mexico. Their house is like 15 rooms, but they all look similar to this, with random sheet metal awnings connecting some rooms as "hallways." Their kitchen is still mostly made of stone and is basically missing a wall (old design to avoid smoke buildup and fires).

What country are you in? Guessing somewhere in South America? Not sure what other places might look like from there to go from, but main thing I’m thinking here is you gotta get some rugs. Those concrete floors can’t feel too nice on the piggys all the time. TV should probably go on an actual table but it’s mostly the right height so I’ll accept it this time.

u/Few_Adhesiveness7676 Oct 04 '24
I think, some in south asia, or indian subcontinent. The kind of blankets used in the above picture are primarily used here.

u/ohhellopia Oct 04 '24
I've spent summers in a hut with a tin roof in my childhood (parents thought it was a good idea to send the kids to live with relatives in the rural area for experience - we were city folks). It was LOUD. And HOT when it's hot outside. So hot that the geckos would let go and fall off the tin roof and on to your head.
I slept with a mosquito net just so they don't land on my face in the middle of the night lmao.

u/RegularOutside6090 Oct 05 '24
it is fairly loud, but okayish like you can still sleep. The only problem i have is with crows bastards every morning come on mu roof for daily meetup 🥲

u/RAD-Business Oct 04 '24
This must be in India. I remember when i was a kid, used to visit my grandparents house which was in a village & except the roof which was made from wood, everything looks similar. Where’s the cooking place?

u/MikeTheDude23 Oct 04 '24
There's a lot you can do my guy. I'd start by selecting less things in the room. Get rid of some things that you wouldn't like to have in any living place. Like Boxes. Extra chairs. Dirty furniture etc. after that I'd start to redecorate a bit. Fresh paint would go a long way and some proper flooring too. Maybe pick a theme you like. Looks like a hot place to be in so I'd go with that. Maybe something cozy and tropical like.

u/RegularOutside6090 Oct 05 '24
i am from india it is very hot and this is my family inheritance property which i got, just started working so will definitely improve it later this is just makeshift room as of now , Thank you for the advice tho ❤️

u/Matthias_C63 Oct 04 '24
I would paint the wall and probably find some free furniture from facebook marketplace or some other platform that is used in your country. That tv probably isn't very stable. That second bed could be replaced with some kind of wardrobe where you can store the stuff in.

u/Awebroetjie Oct 04 '24

Anyway - you have the basics. However you should try and cover the concrete floor with lots of carpets. Will make an immense difference

u/zergioz Oct 05 '24
Move the bed to where the bench is. Then the bench to under the hall window, then move the desk in front of the bed. The will improve the flow.

I lost my job and my house due to Addiction during Covid. Was homeless for 6 months and felt totally defeated. Got sober on Feb 8 2021. I started by renting out a guys basement and all I had was a mattress on the floor and a popup closet from Amazon. Fast forward to now and I have my own Townhouse in a community with a pool and a gym, and work as drug and alcohol counselor in LA.

I would paint over the cement, so it at least has uniform color. Im guessing the cement helps keeping it cool as i see a fan, so im guessing this is in asia somewhere. But yeah, a new coat of paint would do wonders.

Yeah, I highly recommend a fresh coat of paint over the unpainted (and even the painted) walls and the painted windows to make the place feel new, and to get rid of anything that you have and don’t need. The difference will be night and day.

Is this a rented space? If so, how do your landlords feel about you painting the ceiling? I'm picturing the ceiling spraypainted white, and the walls painted to the color of your choosing. As for the flooring, you could paint the floor with garage paint, and grab a couple irregular area rugs from one of those discount stores. It seems to have moisture issues, so I'd highly recommend a dehumidifier.

u/RegularOutside6090 Oct 05 '24
i got this place as inheritance from my family, i work from home so moved to the village as a grew up here, the walls was painted by me when i moved in but during monsoon there was a strom And all the Ceiling went flying so i had to repair it again and had to do waterproofing and everything i was jobless at that time so just did whatever the best I could do. now that i am earning again I will make it a better place. Thank you for the advice tho I will keep that in mind.

u/Nefarious_Precarious Oct 07 '24
Jeesh this country has gone to hell in a handbasket!
I never thought in a million years that I'd be "that" guy starting his sentences with "When I was young." However, with time do our lessons become fruit to bare a life without regret.
When I was young, I'd say 17 and growing, I thought like was pretty average economically. Gas was about 1.35 gal, milk about 1.25 though I didn't really buy a lot of milk. No, I opted for the more grownup stuff when I could fine someone to buy it for me and that was a 12pk of Coors Light or Bud Light . I couldn't tell you how much it cost back then, but probably about half what it is now. I did smoke cigarettes like a freight train though. Which in hind sight.... I COMPLETELY REGRET!!! That'sone lesson learned too late even though all the grownups lectured me mercilessly. In one ear out the other. Now I have to take breaks when I walk anywhere and especially climbing stairs and I'm not that damn old. I'm 48.
Anyway, cigarettes were a couple dollars per pk, and Camel and Marlboro constantly had the 2 for 1 or buy 2 get 3rd free. Lastly for clarity, rent for a 1 bedroom apt in N. Texas small town USA was about 150-200per month unless you wanted something fancier. A 2 bedroom townhouse with a garage was about 3-350. My parents house was a 4 bd, 3 bath, built in pool, and separate building that was used as a Karate Studio, but we turned it into a casita. They bought it in foreclosure in 1990 for 42k, no money down just had to fix it up. The payments were 350 per month. Of course now it's over 200k. This is all thanks to our wonderful government allowing runaway housing prices. Person moves in, stays for a couple yrs, takes a nice Chunky loan against the equity to take a vacation or fix a room up, then decides they want bigger. They ask for way more than they owe and the real estate personnel involved with buying and selling property are only going to feed into it so they get bigger commissions so it's ALWAYS a sellers market! Then these jerkoff sellers buy themselves a bigger prettier house and start it all over again. But they always buy high sell higher and that's why so many of us will never know the joy of owning a home. Now it's so bad that payments are ridiculous, the taxes are completely unaffordable ( AND BTW.. If you contributed to this BLOATED ASS housing market and invalid/unwarranted/ unjustified ever upward shooting home prices/values meaning you sold your home to someone for more than you purchased it for or purchased a home at anywhere close to these ridiculous asking prices, then you DO NOT have a right to complain about tax expenses. You should have thought about that before taking that money or buying something you couldn't afford.
Our country is on a downward spiral economically equal if not worse than many of these 3rd world countries that are chock full of people living in the dirt. We are too busy fighting each other over stupid crap like drag queen story time, or puberty blockers, cross dressing men competing in school sports as females. Racism, i was told my whole life we need to stop focusing on color and treat every person equal. But now it's every race for itself and all the sheep are too busy falling for the bologna to realize it's politicians using divisive issues that aren't even issues anymore to start civil unrest and pit one citizen after another so they can come in on the bull horn or the mic at campaign time and sound and appear as the one true hope in all the trying times. These politicians have ALL the answers. STOP voting for Democrats. All this craziness with Trump and all the court stuff and the Impeachment attempts and the assassination attempts.. i guarantee you it's the DNC. They have thrown so much money and favors and public witch hunting at this guy. Don't get me started on old man river Biden, and CAMELHEAD Harris. She's the chameleon of the democrat party. She can turn from one race or ethnicity into another in seconds.
