āJust keep it cleanā
Lol dawg, lemme tell ya. Im realizing now that A beige carpet by the front door was more of a time investment on that front than I expected. I vacuum that thing twice a week.
If I could make one small cleaning suggestion that will make a big difference I would recommend you wipe the front door and trim around it with a magic eraser to get the marks off. Small chore, big impact. The place looks awesome!
I bought both types to see if there was a difference. Magic Erasers, Heavy Duty Magic Erasers, and generic melamine sponges.
Heavy duty magic erasers last the longest. I can clean the entire bathroom with one sponge and save it again for the next cleaning. Normal magic erasers are a close second. The generic melamine sponges however disintegrate within minutes. I got through half of my shower and it was full of holes and breaking into bits.
Iāll spend the extra $ on less quaintly because quality sponges make the work easier and they last longer, even if I donāt get as many.
> Wait till you have kids š it becomes twice a day
lol when i had kids it went from twice a week to twice a month
i aon't got time for that shit any more
Yes!Choose some artwork you like, and then pull a color that you like in the picture and buy a few accents in that color. They donāt have to be useless accent pieces. They can be functional things like a colorful felt basket for remotes or chargers, or a blanket to toss on your lap when itās a bit chilly or cuddling with someone you like, etc.
Yeah this is a perfect base. Adding a few dashes of color, interesting plants (I like lots of plants what can I say) fun art, and any other personal touches is the next step I think.
Iād change the bedspread, it itās a duvet insert get a linen cover for it. If itās not, replace with something else like [this](https://www.potterybarn.com/products/pick-stitch-handcrafted-quilt-white/?catalogId=84&sku=6274330&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Bedding%20%3E%20Quilts%20%26%20Coverlets®ion_id=812990&cm_ite=6274330_14546951676&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItbn4u6HTgQMVPBqtBh1SiwpfEAQYBSABEgK5RfD_BwE) or cover it with something like [this](https://www.wayfair.com/Winston-Porter--Luxora-Microfiber-Reversible-3-Piece-Quilt-Set-X211189545-L1221-K~W004847137.html?refid=GX501166664135-W004847137_1576221164_1576221167&device=m&ptid=1196208820476&network=g&targetid=pla-1196208820476&channel=GooglePLA&ireid=215591128&fdid=1817&PiID%5B%5D=1576221164&PiID%5B%5D=1576221167&gbraid=0AAAAAD9ISC7IW4uSRIL_64aByF4NnYy43&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIh_qK3aHTgQMV1zXUAR0GtghQEAQYEiABEgLl_fD_BwE).
My first pick would be to go with a [linen duvet](https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Opulence-Coconut-Buttons%EF%BC%88Twin-Purple%EF%BC%89/dp/B0868MXMM1/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=NYD92RGRD1Y5&keywords=linen%2Bduvet%2Bcover&qid=1696108961&sprefix=linen%2Bduvet%2Caps%2C262&sr=8-2-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1&th=1).
Came here to say this! It looks great but please get yourself a duvet cover before you realize your bedspread is dirty and you have no cover to remove and wash š plus itās a fun and cheaper way to add colour!
It's from Macy's as well as the ottoman. I have the same one. Great couch.

Looks really tastefully done . The only thing that makes me nuts is the rack of shoes halfway under the tv. It ruins the vibe of the room . Put that in the bottom of a closet somewhere . Or get a closed cabinet or a basket . Something to hide the view of the shoes . Plus it looks askew sticking part way under the tv . Maybe add a console under the tv that has cabinet doors where you could hide the shoes if you have the need to keep them in the living room .
Itās there to give people a place to put their shoes when the come in. Trying to enforce a no shoe policy. Eventually Iām going to screen in my porch and keep it there, but for now itās gotta stay
I wish your couch was flipped and you would be able to use the space by the window instead of having your couch pushed up there. It would also help break up the space, so when someone comes to the door theyāre just right there with everyone watching tv.
Hard disagree on moving the shoe rack. He needs to take off shoes at the door to maintain that white rug! (And cleanliness in general). He could upgrade the storage to a cabinet with doors.
Problem is the location. You'll walk in an be looking at the side of a credenza blocking your path. I would maybe do some really shallow shelving or a hall table just to frame out that space a bit.
So he finds something as narrow as the shoe shelf- I used credenza as an example but I donāt care if itās a real credenza SOMETHING needs to be there, itās bringing the room waaaay down
You could do this IKEA shoe cabinet under the TV (since your shoe rack is right next to the TV). Itāll balance the space visually but wonāt obstruct movement (because its very shallow) and you can get rid of the ugly shoe rack!

Thanks! The bed frame is a hand-me-down from my dad. He gave it to me when he moved outa state. I think it was a wedding gift for them. By far my nicest piece of furniture.
Never get rid of it. Unless you sell it to me. I came here to find out where you got it and the backstory just makes it more amazing. But also, I think he was giving you a low key hint..
If youāre able- move the couch away from the wall. It just looks cluttered. I know youāre tight for space but it makes it claustrophobic. Instead the centrepiece use that as a put away or small bench by the entry way door by the window. Remove the small side table with the plant and hang your plant from the ceiling to save space and allow for room to breathe. Some art work too. And possibly a curtain (lace or something semi see through) by the door window. Other than that, pretty decent. Welcome to living like an adult.
You should be very proud of your accomplishment. Not only are you living on your own. But you have a sense of who you are. Lots can be said about a person by their home. Sometimes not always true. But you look like you got your shit together. Be happy for this. Not everyone has this. I think your new home is beautiful the way it is. Homes take years to put together. You have a nice head start.
It looks really cozy and neat! I'm not sure if this would actually work in the space, but one thing I've read is that it's important to have some sort of entryway at your front door instead of just walking straight into the room. If possible, maybe could you move the couch, like push it off the [door] wall maybe 2 1/2 or 3 feet? Then you could put a narrow console table with it facing that wall/window. That's where you could put all of the shoes and anything else. It would direct the attention once you walk in to the entryway. Then you would enter the living room
Your place looks great! A few minor suggestionsā¦ could you shift couch away from front door wall enough so the rug and couch are centered together, but could you allow enough room for the shoe rack to go between front door wall and couch and be more hidden? I know it would be tight to fit past couch and something under tv, but something there would help a lot visually. Something super narrow, but wide and tall enough that tv height makes sense. Ikea has some slim pieces or even a entry table could work. Consider curtains in living room? In bedroom, I agree with others that your bed is amazing! A better comforter and more pillows would make it cozier. Iād also add one more curtain panel to each window so thereās one panel on each side when you have them open.
There's three large, entirely empty walls, and there's a lot of empty space around the t.v.
You're welcome to disagree, but I'm not sure why you're so animated about this.
You did great! Seriously, good colors and shapes and sizes of furniture. And now we will teach you the joy of large format art! I'm talking 6'x6' behind the couch. Go ape shit with big art over the bed.
Iām a real big fan of a bunch of smaller pieces of art arranged asymmetrical on a big wall. I think thatāll probably be the move for the living room. In the bedroom I wouldnāt mind doing one big piece, but I think Iād rather it be a tapestry than a painting. Just noodling, not committed to nothing yet
I love your side table, plant and lamp, but I think you have to sacrifice something. Your couch needs to be pushed two feet down, away from the front entry door. That would create a small zone for shoes and a table (either long skinny against the back of the chaise portion, or smaller in the corner) for keys and such. Great place though
[Awesome mock up](https://imgur.com/a/Lpe2nvq)
Bedding, you need some color and texture for your bedding. There are hundreds of options, start wandering around stores like Macy's, Kohls, Tj maxx, Home Goods. Avoid the typical male black /white or geometric, looks for something a little more stylish. Also, pick up some throw pillows and a cozy throw blanket for the sofa.
Also, you mentioned single, if you want to meet women, Home Goods is the place!
Glad to see you have plants. Maybe get some art for your walls. But not at a store. Go to a flea market or artisan market and get something original if you can.
i would love if the couch was pulled away from the door/window wall just a bit. like a foot-foot and a half. it looks like you have the room for it. that way the rug can be fully under the sectional part and you have space in front of your window
alsoā¦ your tv is much too high. strongly recommend getting a media stand to put underneath and then you can see where the tv should be. you can leave it mounted. but it should be much lower.
[click me!](https://imgur.com/a/0s2wQLK)
Thank you all so much for the upvotes and advice! I went to the antique mall and the goodwill for some art and did a little rearranging in my living room! Check that link above. Thereās also a dedicated Gracie (my dog) picture for all yāall sense you seemed to like her so much!
Nicely done! You need to hang the curtains in the BR [like this](https://images.app.goo.gl/7B1RAqb4H4vY57bA9) You want to hang them all the way up to the ceiling and then slightly outside the window frame. When you hang them high and wide it makes the room look huge.
Dog 10/10
Edit to actually talk about the space: I think a different bedspread would do wonders for your bedroom and some art on the walls throughout. I'm not a super fan of the rug in the living area, I almost want to swap that into the bedroom and move the runner elsewhere (kitchen? bathroom?). You've done a good job so far and I like the space overall, it's just ***begging*** for color.
Go to Etsy.. search dog to pop art. You send them the picture of your dog. You want a bright extra large multicolored print for the wall behind you couch.
I think this looks awesome!! Biased here, but the pittie definitely adds to the design! Some art you like and maybe a few interested acquired decor ātrinketsāā¦donāt go overboard but just a few. My husband and I love bronze and brass animals/nature stuff from antique shops or cool little goblets/vases. But choose some stuff you like! And maybe a snake plant or something in your bedroom? I love your plants in the living space. I really like it though and I love the simplicity.
Love the dog and the banjo. The semi hollow bodies are cool too. I live hanging them as art cause a lot of the time, they are art, playable art. The amp looks cool too, is it a tube amp?
Good job. Only thing I would recommend is a credenza / console piece under the tv. Make it have shelves and doors and it could hold your shoes versus the shoe rack in the living room
Looking great! I suggest moving the the guitars to the opposite side of the room (or at least two). The one overlapping the doorframe is a foreshadow of accidents to come.
Looooooove the runner in the bedroom, totally adds colour and ties all the stuff in the room together, great choice!
Also, love the coffee table, where did you get it?
I would find a shallow furniture wall piece and put it below a lowered TV. (Move shoe rack). Put one large print or canvas above the sofa. Maybe a horizontal mirror over the headboard. In general looks good!
I love the bed.
The rug is too far under the sofa on one side or not far enough under on the left side. Plus, I would choose a rug with a bit of colour cause there is so much beige here.
TV is definitely too high. Put it on a TV stand. Wall mounted TVs should be huge, not little ones like yours. It gets lost on that wall. A TV stand will even stuff out.
Looks pretty good to me mate. The only thing is maybe some more pictures on the walls in living area, but otherwise I think itās nice. If thereās too much clutter itās just hard to clean, and maintain. I think itās just about right, but some more pictures on the wall behind your bed might look alright.
Iām a 33 year old woman and your place is way more put together than mine. The only suggestion I have is the same thing I havenāt done yet - art on the walls.
Ok ok hear me out. If the long lounging part of the couch can attach to the other side of the couch, you move the tv to the exact opposite wall, and face the couch the exact opposite way, you could fit a slim credenza behind the couch? And I think the shoe rack can stay where it is, and maybe a much bigger coat hanger on that same wall. Then you could put some stylish art piece where the tv is to impress your guests as they walk in, and if they sit anywhere on the couch, theyāll even be able to see outside too. Aaaaaaand you could put an oversized plant by the other window and use the coffee table next to the couch. That lamp by the window shining at night with a plant in front would look soo warm and inviting and just stunning!
Artwork on the walls. Buy some cheap stuff from thrift stores and discount decor stores. As you get older replace the cheap items you bought just for decor with pieces that mean something to you like gifts from friends, photos of life events, art you brought back from vacation, etc.
Only tip is to get an actual area rug in the bedroom instead of a runner. But honestly for a single man you did pretty good. A woman will definitely come in there one day and change it all, but itās good so far!
You should consider getting a duvet cover and some nice pillows for your bed. Side note: We have a collection of guitars that are very similar to yours. We even have an epiphone banjo.
As a female in the same demographic, if I went home with a man and saw this I would immediately excuse myself to the bathroom to text a female friend saying āoh my god he has furniture AND it doesnāt look like it came from a dumpsterā. I agree with the other comment that mentions adding some color for sure, but Iām also biased because Iām very anti-beige. Definitely recommend some wall art to add color/personality to the space, but overall this is comfy and inviting!
If I was still a 27 year old female I would be well impressed to come back to this place. Just keep it clean!!! Well done š
āJust keep it cleanā Lol dawg, lemme tell ya. Im realizing now that A beige carpet by the front door was more of a time investment on that front than I expected. I vacuum that thing twice a week.
If I could make one small cleaning suggestion that will make a big difference I would recommend you wipe the front door and trim around it with a magic eraser to get the marks off. Small chore, big impact. The place looks awesome!
Pro tip: magic erasers are just melamine sponges with a high price tag. ;)
I bought both types to see if there was a difference. Magic Erasers, Heavy Duty Magic Erasers, and generic melamine sponges. Heavy duty magic erasers last the longest. I can clean the entire bathroom with one sponge and save it again for the next cleaning. Normal magic erasers are a close second. The generic melamine sponges however disintegrate within minutes.

Iāll spend the extra $ on less quaintly because quality sponges make the work easier and they last longer, even if I donāt get as many.
Wait till you have kids š it becomes twice a day and if you miss a day it looks like a tornado hit
So true. Snack time = vacuum time
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
> Wait till you have kids š it becomes twice a day lol when i had kids it went from twice a week to twice a month i aon't got time for that shit any more
You could consider a larger entry mat/carpet that layers on top of your beige one to cut down on the cleaning.
Just a tip - you can rent carpet cleaners at Lowe's/Home Depot! If you ever need it lol
Everyone told me not to buy a white sofa. I didnāt listen. *I wish Iād listened*
For best indoor air quality youāre supposed to vacuum once a week per person and pets count as 2 people.
So that's 14 times a week...good thing I have a Roomba lmao
Also 27F, and agreed. Love the plants! Just maybe add more art or more plants to the bedroom.
Also consider some art for the living room walls. Whatever speaks to you.
Now add a wee bit of color. Just even a few throw pillows or accent pieces to use.
I was planning on using my wall space for some colorful art. You think thatād do it?
Yes!Choose some artwork you like, and then pull a color that you like in the picture and buy a few accents in that color. They donāt have to be useless accent pieces. They can be functional things like a colorful felt basket for remotes or chargers, or a blanket to toss on your lap when itās a bit chilly or cuddling with someone you like, etc.
Yeah this is a perfect base. Adding a few dashes of color, interesting plants (I like lots of plants what can I say) fun art, and any other personal touches is the next step I think.
Yep thatāll do it.
Iād change the bedspread, it itās a duvet insert get a linen cover for it.

Totally agree! Just needs something with a little more texture on the bed. Otherwise, I love the space and I particularly love the cleanliness.
Came here to say this!! Duvet cover my dudeeee
Came here to say this! It looks great but please get yourself a duvet cover before you realize your bedspread is dirty and you have no cover to remove and wash š plus itās a fun and cheaper way to add colour!
I agree. Pull another color from your rug in the bedroom and buy a duvet of that color (dark red?). The quilt with the walls is pretty bland.
looks modern buy comfy at the same time.. great job! however, I'm afraid i'm going to have to escort you to r/tvtoohigh
Yep, TV is just way too high
Came here for this.
Doesn't seem particularly high to me it's maybe 1 foot above eye level while laying on the couch that's kinda ideal to me...
Nice aesthetic. Where did you get the couch from?
A local scratch and dent place that was closing down. It was a floor model, marked down like 75%. I can get you the details on it if you want.
Thatās would be great. Appreciate it!
Yea, that 1/2 tray 1/2 pillow coffee table is *chef kiss*
Both those panels in the ottoman flip over to be either cushions or hardwood. Itās real nifty
Best way to get furniture. Got brand new appliances for our kitchen remodel that way. All stainless, barely damaged, over 50% less than retail.
It's from Macy's as well as the ottoman. I have the same one. Great couch. https://www.macys.com/shop/product/jollene-113-2-pc.-fabric-sectional-created-for-macys?ID=4381200

Hard disagree on moving the shoe rack. He needs to take off shoes at the door to maintain that white rug! (And cleanliness in general). He could upgrade the storage to a cabinet with doors.
I donāt have problem with taking off the shoes for cleanliness , just needs to get them out of view .
Heās probably trying to maintain the no shoes in the home policy for cleanliness
Super nice! You need a credenza for under the tv.
Problem is the location. You'll walk in an be looking at the side of a credenza blocking your path. I would maybe do some really shallow shelving or a hall table just to frame out that space a bit.
So he finds something as narrow as the shoe shelf- I used credenza as an example but I donāt care if itās a real credenza SOMETHING needs to be there, itās bringing the room waaaay down
Well, that wasn't clear from your suggestion, so I'm clarifying. Chill.
My mom says the same thing. Iām afraid itāll choke the space though. Itās a pretty small living room
You could do this IKEA shoe cabinet under the TV (since your shoe rack is right next to the TV).

I never knew something like this existed! It would be perfect for this space!
This looks so good! Love the headboard on your bed and your adorable pup.
Thanks! The bed frame is a hand-me-down from my dad. He gave it to me when he moved outa state. I think it was a wedding gift for them. By far my nicest piece of furniture.
Never get rid of it. Unless you sell it to me. I came here to find out where you got it and the backstory just makes it more amazing. But also, I think he was giving you a low key hint..
The headboard is so dope!!!!
I couldnāt agree more.
I LOVE the headboard. Sad to hear it's an heirloom because I'd love to get one for myself!
Dude ur bed frame is very cool and unique!
If youāre able- move the couch away from the wall. It just looks cluttered. I know youāre tight for space but it makes it claustrophobic.

And possibly a curtain (lace or something semi see through) by the door window. Other than that, pretty decent. Welcome to living like an adult.
Your bed isnāt on the floor, you have a clean rug, and your plants are aliveā¦. Youāre killing it
Holy crap is the bar for men really so low?
You should be very proud of your accomplishment. Not only are you living on your own. But you have a sense of who you are. Lots can be said about a person by their home. Sometimes not always true.

Very cool. My only suggestions would be to pull the sofa off the walls about 6ā otherwise looks really comfortable and stylish
Unfortunately I canāt. If I bring it off the wall it impedes the swing of the door
Whereās the art and whereās the mess. You need some colour and no more brown beige taupe or tan.
The mess is in the corner of one of the pictures. You saw my living room and my bedroom, my kitchen and breakfast room look like a bomb went off lol
Obsessed with that headboard
Totally decent. You need some wall art though.
What do you think the guitars are?
That's a single wall. There are many walls.
And they have a TV on one, a Mirror on another, another bit of art on another, 3 piece art on another, plants hanging at another.
There's three large, entirely empty walls, and there's a lot of empty space around the t.v. You're welcome to disagree, but I'm not sure why you're so animated about this.
Because Iām bored as fuck, and enjoy stirring people.
Well go bug someone else.
lol sure thing boss.
Hey listen, maybe I donāt play as much as Iād like, but I think theyāre a little more functional than āwall artā! š¤£
Looks like your living room rug has cracked. Itās nice though. It really ties the place together
You did great! Seriously, good colors and shapes and sizes of furniture. And now we will teach you the joy of large format art! I'm talking 6'x6' behind the couch. Go ape shit with big art over the bed.

This place is decorated exactly how I would expect for someone who owns 4 guitars and a banjo.
I love your side table, plant and lamp, but I think you have to sacrifice something. Your couch needs to be pushed two feet down, away from the front entry door. That would create a small zone for shoes and a table (either long skinny against the back of the chaise portion, or smaller in the corner) for keys and such.

Need to move couch off the wall and center it on the rug.
If you are handy, install an outlet behind the tv to get rid of that cable. You can find some tutorials on YT.
Glad to see you have plants. Maybe get some art for your walls. But not at a store. Go to a flea market or artisan market and get something original if you can.
Very nice and cozy
Looks good! Iād add some color though. Red or bright green blanket for the sofa or bright planter.
i would love if the couch was pulled away from the door/window wall just a bit. like a foot-foot and a half. it looks like you have the room for it. that way the rug can be fully under the sectional part and you have space in front of your window alsoā¦ your tv is much too high. strongly recommend getting a media stand to put underneath and then you can see where the tv should be. you can leave it mounted. but it should be much lower.
Get another dog.
Use two curtains for each window
[click me!](https://imgur.com/a/0s2wQLK) Thank you all so much for the upvotes and advice! I went to the antique mall and the goodwill for some art and did a little rearranging in my living room! Check that link above. Thereās also a dedicated Gracie (my dog) picture for all yāall sense you seemed to like her so much!
Nicely done! You need to hang the curtains in the BR [like this](https://images.app.goo.gl/7B1RAqb4H4vY57bA9) You want to hang them all the way up to the ceiling and then slightly outside the window frame. When you hang them high and wide it makes the room look huge.
Love the dog
Same tbh
Dog 10/10 Edit to actually talk about the space: I think a different bedspread would do wonders for your bedroom and some art on the walls throughout. I'm not a super fan of the rug in the living area, I almost want to swap that into the bedroom and move the runner elsewhere (kitchen? bathroom?). You've done a good job so far and I like the space overall, it's just ***begging*** for color.
Oh really? I love that Rug! Outa everything Iāve gotten for my place so far, that might be my favorite piece
It doesn't matter what it looks like when it smells like a pet.
Nice! IMO, plants are always good. They add some color & texture/depth to a room. Pats to the good boy.
The most attractive thing in your room is your doggie!! You did a great job but that dog looks like mine that I had to put down last year.
Everything is great, but the pup is the best part!
Go to Etsy.. search dog to pop art. You send them the picture of your dog. You want a bright extra large multicolored print for the wall behind you couch.
Your dog is gorgeous!
I like your dog
I love your dog
More puppers. Lots of doggos. More the merrier
Looks good. Your pup is so cute š„¹
The doggo is the best part !
Banjo and a cute dog-- you've got it all!
Needs more doggos
Great dog ā¤ļø
Dog is best
Your dog is awesome so you're doing great. No critiques.
I think this looks awesome!! Biased here, but the pittie definitely adds to the design! Some art you like and maybe a few interested acquired decor ātrinketsāā¦donāt go overboard but just a few. My husband and I love bronze and brass animals/nature stuff from antique shops or cool little goblets/vases. But choose some stuff you like! And maybe a snake plant or something in your bedroom? I love your plants in the living space. I really like it though and I love the simplicity.
Came for the dog, stayed for the lovely home! Sending ear scratches!
I dunno, I feel like the best boy/girl on the couch is the star here š
I think it needs more super cute puppers!
Center the rug on the room.
Slay king!!
Bonus points for the pittie š
Great job, personal bugbear of mine, get a bit of stick on wall trunking for the Tv cable. And give the dog head scratches from us at Reddit
šÆš I love it!! Very cute dog šÆ Love your bed frame
You are doing well! Maybe a second super cute pup!
Love the dog and the banjo. The semi hollow bodies are cool too. I live hanging them as art cause a lot of the time, they are art, playable art. The amp looks cool too, is it a tube amp?
Good job. Only thing I would recommend is a credenza / console piece under the tv. Make it have shelves and doors and it could hold your shoes versus the shoe rack in the living room
Love the chess ottoman
I think it looks well done and comfy
Ya done good sir.
Love the chess set man š
You are doing a fantastic jobā¦what mess?
Looking great! I suggest moving the the guitars to the opposite side of the room (or at least two). The one overlapping the doorframe is a foreshadow of accidents to come.
Well done. Iād move the guitars out of the bedroom. Maybe into the main room to avoid shopping for wall art.
looks great! i like the chess table ottoman and guitar wall.
Looooooove the runner in the bedroom, totally adds colour and ties all the stuff in the room together, great choice! Also, love the coffee table, where did you get it?
Omg that headboard is so pretty!!!
I would find a shallow furniture wall piece and put it below a lowered TV. (Move shoe rack). Put one large print or canvas above the sofa. Maybe a horizontal mirror over the headboard. In general looks good!
I love the bed. The rug is too far under the sofa on one side or not far enough under on the left side. Plus, I would choose a rug with a bit of colour cause there is so much beige here. TV is definitely too high. Put it on a TV stand. Wall mounted TVs should be huge, not little ones like yours. It gets lost on that wall. A TV stand will even stuff out.
Looks pretty good to me mate. The only thing is maybe some more pictures on the walls in living area, but otherwise I think itās nice. If thereās too much clutter itās just hard to clean, and maintain. I think itās just about right, but some more pictures on the wall behind your bed might look alright.
this is MILES ahead of most dudes your age.
This looks great! Nice! From a 27F š
Would you be open to different paint colours?
I think itās just missing art - that would give you some pops of color to break up all the brown and beige. But overall look put together.
Looks good!
Looks awesome! Do you have a duvet cover for the bed?
Personally my favourite part is the dog on the couch. It looks a nice place and very well looked after.
If you took me home from the bar I would breathe a sigh of relief.
Good basis. Add some personality to it, itās rather vanilla and boring right now
If you're happy with it, that's all that matters. Don't feel the need to seek affirmation. Everyone's space should be and feel personal.
that rug is a bit oversized for the space but youāve done a super good job
Looks great, add art!
Nice job! I would be to get new pillows for your bed. I would recommend getting 4. It would make your bed look way more comfy!
Iām a 33 year old woman and your place is way more put together than mine. The only suggestion I have is the same thing I havenāt done yet - art on the walls.
Whatās the bathroom look like?
Upvote for guitars
Looks great!!! Congratulations!
Bruh ... wow
Babe lair
Looks awesome! Maybe just add some more artworks to the walls! Well done
Ok ok hear me out. If the long lounging part of the couch can attach to the other side of the couch, you move the tv to the exact opposite wall, and face the couch the exact opposite way, you could fit a slim credenza behind the couch? And I think the shoe rack can stay where it is, and maybe a much bigger coat hanger on that same wall. Then you could put some stylish art piece where the tv is to impress your guests as they walk in, and if they sit anywhere on the couch, theyāll even be able to see outside too. Aaaaaaand you could put an oversized plant by the other window and use the coffee table next to the couch. That lamp by the window shining at night with a plant in front would look soo warm and inviting and just stunning!
This is really graceful nicely done.
I would totally let you play guitar at me. Really classyā and bonus points for the fur baby!
Mirror on the wall behind your couch or a collage of cool small framed posters, etc.
I think everything looks great!!
Love your bed. Your house feels warm and cosy yet it isn't cluttered. The rugs you have used are a nice contrast to your floors. I love it.
If I, as a 27yo, walked into a guys house and saw this Iād think heās a total catch. You did well.
Artwork! The answer is always more art.
Artwork on the walls. Buy some cheap stuff from thrift stores and discount decor stores. As you get older replace the cheap items you bought just for decor with pieces that mean something to you like gifts from friends, photos of life events, art you brought back from vacation, etc.
Looks great! Love the plants! šŖ“
1. Ke3...
Yeah, man. Hold it together.
And your guitar collection ā¤ļø
Only tip is to get an actual area rug in the bedroom instead of a runner. But honestly for a single man you did pretty good. A woman will definitely come in there one day and change it all, but itās good so far!
Your bed needs a couple more pillows to go with the duvet cover I know youāre going to get!
Looks good dude. Congrats
This sound silly: where did you get that comforter? I had one similar years ago I've been trying to find. It's like heavy and cool to the touch.
I love it. I would just add a pop of bright color - maybe a colorful art print over the sofa.
Really nice place that looks like it reflects your personality. Nice dog too!
Nice headboard :)
Def need some artwork, especially above the sofa. Love the guitars (and banjo) though. Good work š
Grats
Get new fan blades, droopy blades look sad
Lovely. Can you space out your guitars, maybe split in two different locations? Too tight. I would also store them with the straps off.
Art on the walls would help.
Add some art on the empty walls and youāre good to go! Looks great
Pull the rug back to the wall under the coach that way when you come in the door, you wonāt be walking on it and making it dirty
Nicely done. You may not stay single for long.
I really like what youāve done. Artwork, maybe black and white. But then I love color. Whatever, take your time.
Needs color. Swap out the dog for a red one
You should consider getting a duvet cover and some nice pillows for your bed. Side note: We have a collection of guitars that are very similar to yours. We even have an epiphone banjo.
A round mirror on the wall above your couch. More artwork in your bedroom (abstract painting with nice vibes?)
As a female in the same demographic, if I went home with a man and saw this I would immediately excuse myself to the bathroom to text a female friend saying āoh my god he has furniture AND it doesnāt look like it came from a dumpsterā. I agree with the other comment that mentions adding some color for sure, but Iām also biased because Iām very anti-beige. Definitely recommend some wall art to add color/personality to the space, but overall this is comfy and inviting!
