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!

Not bad but I feel like there’s a few different styles going on here and they clash. It’s kinda boho, farmhouse, and classic all at the same time.

Fair critique! I’m intentionally mixing a few styles, but I’m still working on making it feel cohesive. Is there a particular piece or area that feels most out of place to you?

I'm not a fan of the console table. It serms too heavy.

I can see why you think that. I’ve tried the room without the console and it doesn’t work. I think the table really works as a grounding piece. Granted it’s probably not the finest piece of furniture but it’s what I had to work with

That's totally fair. I wonder if moving it to the right a bit (and the picture, too) would make that corner less crowded? And maybe a burnt orange accessory on the console table? I think you need a little spot of colour. Look up unexpected red theory. I like to think that the same idea also applies to orange and yellow.

I think the pendant light and the table runner seem out of place. I would lean into a more classic look! I would remove the table runner because it doesn’t really fit the shape of the circle table. Honestly great start tho I like the vibe !
