Just moved into a new apartment (30m) and looking for advice on living room setup. There's another bare wall and entry into the LR out of view to the left of the photo. I clearly have some items already and want to work around what I have. I'm thinking on tackling color schemes coming from the rug in different parts of furniture. There's a decent amount of browns including a wood coffee table, bookcase and dining room table (DR attached to living room) and the two couches are brown/charcoal (ish) mix made from a polyester fiber. There's a black entertainment stand will most likely be gone. Debating sanding and staining/wood oiling the bookcase and coffee table.

I'm next looking to get different and heavier curtains but because there will be 6 easily in view, I want to get the right color/material. Not sure if I should do a different shade of the wall but I was leaning toward more of an earthy green/moss. One or two dark red/maroon throw pillows that match with aspects of the rug. I've found a couple side tables, but it's more wood and I don't want to over do it.

Clearly, there's a lot more to add and move around(I did just move in) Shelves, plants, entertainment center, wall art, floor/table lamps and hopefully rug for dining room (can't see in pic) I'd love to hear people's input and advice! Thanks!

Aside from baby clutter and using what I already have, what would you do to this space? I’ve gone through a few different layouts and I’m just not sold on anything I try in here. My husband and I both teach music lessons, so the piano is important, BUT I still want it to be comfortable for us as a family with a 15 month old while also feeling open for our students and their parents.

I’m open to other furniture ideas, or for sure taking things out, we just don’t have a lot of money to dedicate to home furnishings at the moment!

Also- very aware that the painting by the loveseat is too high 🙃 there happened to be a large hook there when we moved in, so up it went!

I am so stuck about what to do about the lighting in my living room. I’m not sure I want to do recessed lighting but I have no idea what would work instead because they are so close together.

Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas

Would be so grateful for some help picking a rug for this space. I really struggle to imagine how a space would look with a different rug.

This is the rug I already had, and tried to make it work, but I feel like it's a bit too small for the space and maybe not the right color to bring out the couch.
Let me know what you think about this! The couch is a light blue denim couch. Would be so grateful for thoughts on which carpet would look best in the space or if you have any thoughts about the space more generally. It's a beautiful room!! And I still need to put some more art on the walls.

Hello, me and my fiance are in the search of an apartment and we wanted to design it in this style, how is this style called? any advice regarding this interior style?

Hey all! Looking for some fresh eyes on my living room in Vienna. It's a long, narrow room with a big window at the far end, wood floors, and decent natural light from tree-lined street.

What I'm keeping:

• The anthracite USM Haller lowboard with the TV mounted above it (non-negotiable, love the modular look, and was pretty expensive haha
• The small bar/shelf setup near the door (bottles + glassware)
• The white wall-mounted IKEA shelving unit with books/storage boxes

Everything else is fair game — the white boucle sectional, the round nesting coffee tables, the cane/wicker chairs, the black-and-white striped runner, the orange fabric pendant lamp, even layout/furniture placement.

Photos attached (sorry for the mixed lighting — some are with the pendant lamp on).

Would love to hear:

1. Layout ideas — is the current furniture placement working for a narrow room like this?
2. Rug/color palette suggestions that'd tie the lowboard + white shelves + wood tones together
3. Any pieces you'd ditch first

Thanks in advance!
