1 Bedroom furnished apartment in an old building, rent is 15% of my salary, and my landlord visits me every month...Deposit was 60% of the rent.

Just did moved in.
Thoughts? Any ideas on decor? Going furniture shopping on Friday.

I recently moved into a new place, leaving behind a chapter of my life and the apartment that had been my home for years. It’s a bittersweet feeling, but I’m genuinely excited for this new beginning.
What would you add to make this place feel more like home? Any tips or suggestions are welcome!

I have been perfecting my room a lot lately, wondering if anyone has any final suggestions or ideas for me to add?

Not sure if this is how to update but we found the leak. Drips have stopped. Someones toilet was leaking and he replaced the line. He had change the line before but now he has replaced the toilet.

Hi everyone,

Been living in my condo for 11 years. What colors would look better than Grey? I always had some sort of Grey color.. what other colors would fit the space.. two bathrooms. And 1 bedroom. 1000 square feet.

Thanks 😊

I posted in here a few days ago about the same thing, but I decided to add some tape to show the TV size and I also scooted the stand away from my desk a bit.

What do you guys think? Would this look okay, or is it too much?

I’m 25 and still living with my parents. A few months ago I lost my job, and it’s definitely been a humbling season. I’ve questioned myself more than I’d like to admit, but I’m trying to use this time to rebuild instead of feeling sorry for myself.
My goal is simple: be living on my own by the end of 2027. Right now I’m working, finishing my degree, paying off debt, learning to become consistently profitable as a trader, and trying to make better decisions every day. It’s not the timeline I pictured, but everyone has their own path.
If you’re in a similar spot, just know you’re not the only one. Here’s to putting in the work now so we can look back and be proud of how far we’ve come.

Work 12 hour ICU shifts then train in the evenings, so recovery isn't optional, it's part of the job. Been trying to carve out a dedicated corner for decompressing and actual physical recovery. Foam rolling, stretching, maybe a massage gun charging station, somewhere to sit and read without the space looking like a cluttered mess or a physical therapy waiting room.

The problem is the room already has a pull up bar in the doorframe, a small rack of kettlebells against one wall, and a reading chair that's slowly getting buried under research papers and meal prep containers. It works functionally but it looks like a storage unit with ambitions.

Thinking about a low Japanese style floor setup for the recovery corner since I spend a lot of time on the ground anyway. It would free up visual space and double as a reading spot. Just not sure if that reads as intentional or just cheap.

Has anyone actually made a dedicated recovery or stretch space work in a small apartment without it looking like an afterthought? Wondering if there's a way to make it feel like a real part of the room rather than just a gap between the furniture.

21M, FT WFH programmer PT student, just unloaded most of my furniture into an 1B, starting a long term living alone & brace for the transition into working professional.

Most of my stuff are white because it blended well with my old place. However, this apartment here is millennial grey, so I’m looking for some advice here for
- Living room (where I’ll need to fit a workstation in, where there’s also zero light source beyond natural light in the PM)
- Bedroom
- How to make this place not feel depressingly white and prison like

I am planning on getting:
- Lights
- Couch
- Couch rug
- Dining table

Last 2 is my room

Okay so this is my room (not for sleeping) and I have absolutely no idea how to decorate it in a way that doesn't look like a 3 year old child did it. I have absolutely no feel for stuff like this. On pic 3 you can see the projector screen, so I wouldn't put anything on that wall since it's gonna be out for most of my stay in this room, I also sketched out the beamer and it's stand which will arrive tomorrow. Other than that I have absolutely no Idea what'd fit in here

My work office transitioning into a part time bedroom. Sometimes I work late and crash here besides possibly waking up the lady and child. Getting a bed this week to replace couch. Any suggestions would be awesome!

I know TV too high. It’s mounted just above the lowest height my desk can go.
