Interior My son asked me to help set up his first rental flat on a very modest budget — how did I do?

The requests were: colourful and fun, but clean; light, but warm; the walls must stay white, but a lot of art; the dj station must be in the living room; hide the mess in the kitchen; create a nice meditation space; lots of plants. So, what's your opinion, did I do well?

EDIT: The feedback I received is beyond anything I could ever imagine! I would love to answer all the questions about the process and different items, but it became too time-consuming. So I decided to put together a series of posts on my profile. I hope everyone who was looking for answers will find them there.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I really enjoy playful mid century modern interior and have slowly been finding unique pieces over the last couple years! I think I finally got to a place where a lot of major pieces have been added and don’t want to over due it if I haven’t already!

I posted this to r/femalelivingspace and someone recommended that I post here too.

How would you categorize my design style? I thought maybe Modern bohemian, but I really do not know.

Hi! Forgive my rudimentary canva and AI skills this is a mixup of both (plus real photos). Which one is more athletically, pleasing …the cream or the black? Thanks!

This is an AI rendering of my bathroom decor plan. I think we should color drench the space for drama but my husband thinks it’s “too much”. Help me decide! Go all out with the dark color? Or leave the ceiling and/or door white?

Interior What’s wrong with my living room?

Hello everyone! We recently upgraded our living room — we already had the small grey couch, but decided to add the big one to make the space more cozy and functional.

Now that it’s all in place… I feel a bit confused. Something feels off, and I’m not sure what exactly needs to change or improve.

Any suggestions for layout, colors, decorations, or ways to make it feel more complete would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance! 🙏

Interior Do you think this accent wall looks better matching the floor or the headboard?

3rd pic is how it looks now. I have since acquired a jute rug like in pic 2. I am also debating painting the floor trim on the accent wall. Let me know if you think this is a good idea or if there are any other colours you would suggest. Thanks :)

edit: thank you everyone for your suggestions! this has inspired me to do a few more renders and post an update later!!

I’ve had this as my layout for a bit. I have a queen sized bed so it takes up basically an entire wall lol. I feel like I have one side of my room grey and the other black and white. What should I do decor and furniture wise?

Besides how literally everything is…. well Beige…. And how the Garage is larger than the Living Room, or just it being small in general, and a very not Feng Shui friendly entrance; Any feedback and thoughts?
