Just got into a new place, and just trying to get some inspo going on for future designs. Was thinking about pic related for living/dining area. Trying to stick with a Green/brown/white and some pink hues here and there. Definitely growing plants, too.

Also, it depends where you live. In Europe, you can find these kind of apartments (high ceilings, big windows) for cheap.
Because these apartments are not that great to live in (you can hear the neightbors take a shit, you can't heat the place properly and so on).

Guys, I rearranged my desk area to be along the wall instead of against the windows. Did I fuck up? I also finally got this bamboo stand, which I'm digging. But it's not wide enough, so I think I might order one that's wider and allow me to hide some cables better. Then I'll use this one elsewhere.

What do you guys think?

- Against the wall? or
- Against the windows?

You did good moving everything to the wall as opposed to on the windows. A cable sleeve in which you combine all your cables will be helpful.

What's with the tarp on the floor? I agree that the white cabinet looks a bit out of place. Get a better chair when you can and manage those chords.

[Anonymous No.15154876]

>>15154846
Not really digging the placement of the carpet.
Would it work a bit more in the middle of the room? The placement kinda reminds me of these protective fiber mats (?) used to protect the floor when painting walls.

Otherwise, the desk and everything is nice, have you got a pic with night lighting?

>vintage desk and banker's chair

The banker's chair with a seat pad might be dope. Where do you see it being?

>>15154868
Yeah I think it looks better freeing up the window space. Not sure what to do with that space though. A couch kind of makes sense but would like something a bit more informal/loose - maybe a few bean bags or something else on the ground? I did want to get some more shelves to put plants along the window.

I agree about the cables. It's a standing desk so I need to keep them loose enough so they can extend. Need to figure something about.

>>15154869
I just moved in at the beginning of April and haven't had the chance to get a rug - so this is just a canvas paint mat I'm using so I don't scratch the floors.

Yeah, cables look worse when the desk is raised kek

[Anonymous No.15154942]

>>15154893
Haha nice, well it's functional for now. Still, should you decide on some rug, I'd definitely place it differently.

I feel what you mean regarding the lamp, especially since right now the thing looks a bit lost in the space.
If you decide to switch the lamp with the plants, maybe you can use a stand with a lower height, maybe that makes the body to the left of the table "sit" a bit better in the room. Maybe even a larger plant could work.

Some art on the wall could be cool too, might even balance the look of the cables out a bit, I dunno.


The arrangement is much better towards the wall than at the window though! I could see myself chilling on the other side of the room in these bean bags you talked about.

[Anonymous No.15155003]

>>15154942
Hm thanks for the tips. Totally agree about art on the wall!! I need to get on that. I have a couple pieces that I need to frame and get mounted. Thankfully I can drill on these walls (as long as I spackle them when I move out), so no problem!

> arrangement is much better towards the wall than at the window

Ok nice, that's good to hear!

I think I'm gonna replace the existing tall shelf with this one, which should allow me to rest the pc horizontally and move it towards the bottom. Might move that taller shelf to the left of the desk, which would allow me to play with the lamp up top or completely move it elsewhere.
