We're decorating our new home, and I bought two matching Hulala sofas because I liked the idea of a living room where people could sit and talk.

My husband saw them facing each other and said, "This looks less like ‘come over for a chat' and more like 'sit down, we need to talk.'" Now I can't unsee it lol. I sat down and felt like I owed him an explanation.

I still like the sofas individually. I just cannot explain why I decided we needed two identical ones staring each other down. It made sense in my head.

I'm leaning toward keeping just one, but there's nowhere else in the house for the other. what should I do?

Hi Reddit. I dont post much, but i am super proud of my niece's new bedroom at my mother's house. We are a bit housepoor, so we have a big house, lots of antiques and little liquid cash, so a lot if her room is repurposed items from around the house, cheap walmart/Amazon bookshelves and desk, and a lot of thrifting/clearance/trash finds (curtains, bedding, knickknacks). Enjoy!

Some notes:

The nighstands were an antique vanity from the trahs in really bad shape. I cut the drawer segments off and sanded and hand painted the beachy frogs on top.

The crystal ball lamp base is from $5 clearance hobby lobby and i replaced the missing top with a boob light dome i painted and added fringe to from my sewing stash.

The internet zebra was thrifted and painted.

The metal ved was an old hospital ved from like 1920s that we had in the fam forever. I painted it copper.

I made the bohemian pillows stashed on the shelf and the blue flower pillow. The other throw pillows were from the thrift store.

The purple desk chair was thrifted for $20.

I painted the larger piece of art on the desk, bought the frog watercolor from an art fair and the bordello art is a print. More art is coming, but my niece wants to hang her own art too.

How do you feel about it? I really love the coastal style, but I live over 4 hours away from the seaside 🫠 Do you think it would look out of place, since you usually see this style in houses near the beach?

Currently redecorating living room. Kind of regretting not getting a white curtain track? But does black look ok? I kind of like the architectural lines and the definition and compliments the dark elements in the room. Thoughts?

Actual bathroom pics first, inspiration pics at the end. I'm wanting to put navy board and batten around my small half bath. Pretty much the same color and height as the sink and just extend it around the room, with maybe a light colored wallpaper on top or just paint. My mom is convinced the room is to small or any kind of dark colors and it will look terrible and even smaller. If it is a bad idea what alternatives do you guys think.

To the left is the kitchen and behind is the dining area. Directly behind the camera is the living room. This small space is too small for a breakfast nook (also no need given dinging table is right there anyways). It does serve well to store high chair, but would be nice to do something more intentional with this space. Maybe slim wine fridge under countertop overhang?

I would be willing to cut countertop to remove that strange overhang, but don’t want to redo kitchen or any major renovations

Had my living room painted dried thyme by Sherwin Williams a few days ago & I am having second thoughts. Does it look terrible? It was previously gray/beige color & I didn’t like it. I like dark & moody but I feel like this is looking like grandpas lake cabin 😩😵‍💫 should I have it re painted??

What type of mirror, size, color, style? This space is at the top of the stairs between the master and 3 other rooms. I'll shop at Wayfair for it.

THanks!

A big furniture store near me went out of business a few months ago and during the final days of the liquidation day they started blowing things out at 90% off. They we're coming out of the back room with furniture on carts and I was tagging things as sold right on the cart since I am just restoring my house after a fire.

For example this this heavy solid wood slice black coffee table I believe was about $2000 and I got it for $180. I would've never purchased it otherwise because I didn't like the shape but thought if it didn't work, I could sell it and maybe even make a little bit of money. Everything in the room is from the liquidation sale including the lights. The tchotchke's are from HomeGoods with tags still on. Just trying to pull it together the eclectic furniture. Any tips are appreciated

This is an area in my home that used to be an unused small dining room. During the pandemic, a new type of room for socializing in the UK sprang up called a Snug. Its literally jamming furniture in a room that's too small to create a kind of intimate setting. I liked that concept. I my case I would bring my guests in here for drinks and appetizers... kind of a snug / moody VIP lounge that can be a bit over the top so it surprises a little when you see it when you round the corner. The rug is from my mom but it can be used elsewhere.

BTW, those doors go to an unused walkway with a giant wall just 42" away from my house running the length. No problem blocking them entirely as there is another way in if necessary. What works, anything? What should I swap out, or just sell?

We had new wooden blinds installed. They block out a lot of the sunlight when needed.

I had curtains at one point but wondered if I should put them back up.

Any suggestions?

I came across a bunch of antique prints like this and decided to frame them! The first one is a 1908 reprint of Braun's 1530 map of Paris and the second is an advertising page from an 1880 edition of the St. Alban's Weekly Messenger. I could have matted them, but I wanted to show off their age and I think the frayed edges give a nice antique look. I think these would look good as decor pieces but I wanted to get some thoughts and feedback!

Hi guys, this is currently my Cafe on the right side. There is a container kitchen and The Blank space will be used to keep sitting area. I have already ordered some IKEA chairs, white colour, but I want some decor ideas. I am planning of plant like Bird of Paradise. So what do you think can be done to make this place look better as this is inside a Sports Arena. Just thought of asking humans instead of AI suggestions 😊
