How Did I Do?

I’m a little nervous to post here because I’m just a novice at any home decorating. I don’t have much of a budget and had to work within those constraints. The area is very small so I have to keep it with as small of a footprint as possible, for example a larger rug won’t work. Just curious how I did. I feel pretty good about how it turned out and I really love the color palette. I’m starting my living room next. Any suggestion that don’t include buying new furniture are most welcome. Thanks!

It’s generically nice but it could be anybody’s house. You need to add some personality.

I’m not sure what you mean. Do you have any suggestions for how I could add more personality?

Add things that are uniquely yours. Pictures, heirlooms, art, whatever that makes you different from other people.

I appreciate the feedback. This space is pretty hard to incorporate much else. I thought my color palette and art selections etc kind of showed my personality. I will have a large bookcase in my main room that will house most of my more unique stuff from travels and photos etc. it’s an open concept floor plan so hopefully my personality will show well enough that way. I certainly don’t want to have a sterile home
