Hii ! I got a first rug and thought it was a bit small so I returned it but now the new one feels a bit overwhelming for the room. Is it because Im not used to it or is it really too big ? What would you do ?

Also, is this specific rug (jute) okay or should I go for something lighter / less noisy ?
Thank you ! :)

This generative AI nonsense has completely ruined this sub. When are we going to do something about it?

The installers put up this wallpaper in our Wetbar area but seem to have trimmed it a bit oddly.
Background info- Wetbar was painted black before. We just bought the house.
Question is-
Should I say something or just add gimp/trim to the edges and call it a day?
Thanks for your help!

Wallpaper is Empress by Milton & King.

*Updated to add- the company says it just needs to be caulked.

ETA- the company gave me a sizable discount on the job and I appreciate all of the helpful comments!

I’m thinking about using this ocean-inspired bath mat in a small guest bathroom. I like the sea-glass green colors and textured waves, but I’m worried the shells and starfish might make the room feel too themed.

Would you pair it with white and sand-colored towels, bring out the rust-orange accent, or skip it altogether?

Does it read as coastal and cheerful, childish, or simply too busy? Honest opinions welcome.

Hey y’all! So I started a mural in my guest room in December of 2023 and haven’t been able to finish it because I drew the pattern smaller than intended. It’s been painful on my arthritis bc of how intricate it is, so I’ve decided to paint over it and do something more simple for the sake of my hand!
I have seen some gorgeous large buffalo plaid/check walls and decided that would be pretty and easy enough for me to handle! I also want to use the paint I have rather than getting anything else (except for maybe white for the base).
I’m having a hard time visualizing which colors would look good together and don’t want to use Ai. I am open to using any and all of the colors, my husband doesn’t care if it’s pink and purple or rainbow, as long as I’m happy and the wall is finished lol
I would only be painting 1 small wall so I think I have enough of each color, even if only 2-3 colors were used.

Please let me know your thoughts on color combos!!
(Bedding is grey, but also have white)
Also attaching a pic of the current status of the original mural - was filling in the background navy, that was the hardest part…
And a bland idea, I need color in my life!!!

I want a dark and moody room. Likely going to do half height black slats on the wall

For my daughters room. She’s 3, loves pink but I feel the white flowers is very timeless and very classic?

Very English cottage vibes for both.

We tried to steer away from a pink princess themed room.

This is my hall. I wanted to make it bright and to put some colorful pictures and a mirror.

The second picture is an AI suggestion, but I'm not sure if I like it.

Can you please suggest the best color for a dado rail, or any other suggestions to make it bright and joyful?

Thank you ❤️

I do live in an apartment. I ideally want to have the wall filled with bookshelves but idk if that’s the right style for a dining room. I’m loving this green theme. I’m unsure if I need a rug or not. The closet is not usable.

Just moved in, how can we make this room (which will be our guest room and hobby room maybe) inviting and cute! The bed was placed there because of the view :) the location is in portugal if that makes a difference

I wanna add this decor fan to this living room. Suggest a spot please.

Any other suggestions are welcome too but mainly please help to place this thing.

Thank you

We just moved into a new house (excuse the boxes) and looking for what to do with the wall space on the right side (highlighted orange) .
This is the living room so behind me (not shown) is our sectional and TV/TV stand.
From left to right: Front door (not pictured), bookcase, window & vinyls, and then empty until you go through to the kitchen on the right.

A sitting area seems like a good idea but ultimately would be a waste. No one would sit there.

Any other ideas? Old owners had a dining table there but who wants to eat on the carpet in front of the front door?

How much should I expect to spend on bedroom furniture?

Specifically:
-a decent upholstered king bed (like the thuma)

-A dresser big enough for two people

I don’t need furniture that’s going to last a lifetime, but at the same time I don’t want it to feel or look like absolute poor quality (squeaking bed, stuck drawers, etc)

Does anyone have some recommendations for beds or dressers without breaking the bank?

I don’t have a dead set budget, im planning on $2k for those two items, but I’m willing and able to spend more if necessary to get what I want.

As an interior designer I'm always looking for coolest, newest, most unique, most innovative new furniture pieces for my clients.

If you've come across anything unique and beautiful recently (tables, chairs, rugs etc.) please share them so we can all be inspired!

I’m exhausted! I’ve been trying to pick a paint color for my living room kitchen area and we have like an orangey type of woodwork. I tried two samples, one of Shoji white and one of natural linen, and I’m not really a fan of either natural linen looks way too yellow for me thinking of maybe doing accessible beige? Does anyone have the same type of woodwork and have any recommendations?

Hi! I have some pieces I’d like to hang in the bathroom , however I am concerned I’d get mold or moisture trapped behind the frame against the wall. Any tips?

I know the macrame is too small for the couch, violating the 2/3 rule. Thing is, we LOVE this piece and want it showcased. How do I balance it with other pieces? I have a few frames already sitting on the couch (as you can see from the picture ) that I'm considering. Thank you!!

We’re ready to give our kitchen a refresh and I’ve spent months trying to decide on a paint color. I need something that will complement our terracotta colored countertops, as we can’t switch them out. Thinking in the realm of a natural green, but then my interest is piqued by cream or terracotta as well.
As far as other changes go, I’m definitely open to changing out the backsplash as whoever installed it didn’t execute the job very well. We’ll also be changing the light fixtures to something else, possibly rattan. Painting the walls a warm creamy color to match the living area. Any advice is appreciated as I’m just over the decision fatigue and ready to jump in.

I’ve been looking everywhere trying to find these chairs 🫩 almost given up at this point

We’d like to keep the cubby shelf for the kids and the bench for them to sit and get ready. But I don’t know how to make it look nicer/less plain.
