So I just moved out of my parents place and into a studio apartment. Anything I'm missing here?
So I just moved out of my parents place and into a studio apartment.
Anything I’m missing here? How could I make the place look homier?
Thanks you beautiful /fashion/gs
Art for the walls?
Looks cozy as heck OP
I’ve got to fix any holes in the wall I put in which is what’s stopped me, but it is lacking.
Good idea, I’ll think about it.
Ok, I’ll get wall art.
I added a desk lamp I made, should I put some floor lighting in the empty corner next to my computer? I feel like that’s an unused spot.
>I’ve got to fix any holes in the wall I put in which is what’s stopped me
kek what’s it like being inept?
he won’t be doing this any time soon
there are pastes for that tha cost like 5 bucks and you just smear white paste into the holes and go over it with acredit card done and suted 2mins work tops
otherwise nice place nigga
There are peel-away 3M velcro strips that can hang up to like 10-15 pound paintings. Cheap too. Used them for all the art on my walls in my first apartment.
Then you heck up the wall with Velcro instead.
I’ actually getting those, so good call. I’ll probably have to do something more heavy duty for the ceiling hooks for plants.
You’ve got some points that I’ve followed but I’m not going to make my room super minimal, I like having stuff around that I like. I would get super depressed living in a room with a light, a book, a mattress and little else.
hanging plants might look nice
Wall Art
Lighting, Lighting, Lighting
Get a proper chairmat
Where do people find art to hang up? There is some classical art I enjoy but it would feel pretentious hanging it up in my room
Amazon warehouse art

gross
But real handmade art, not generic printed shit.
In my house i have paintings i’ve made, japanese wood prints from the 1960s, engravings from old books (they are cheap on ebay), two black and white art photos, and only one photo of myself in a cool location.
>one photo of myself in a cool location.
won’t people think i’m narcissistic if i have a pic of myself on my wall?
The one i have is a small photo of me in the Grand Canyon, it’s not a portrait.
It’s cliché but it’s more like a memory of a good time.
If you want to get serious about it, go to local galleries and see if you like anything cheap-ish
Or any number of poster websites of varying quality online
Fair enough, that would probably color anyone’s experience.
I was close to typing "clean the junk up" but then I read you want it to feel "homely" which is just another word for cluttered. thanks.
I want it kind of cluttered, kind of clean.
I have stuff from trips and I like plants so it isn’t ever going to be purely minimalistic.
I live with a hoarder of a family member so when I heard you moved out I thought it was such a waste of a free space to fill it up with "shit" Only it has meaning to you which is what counts. i just wouldn’t be very impressed. coming over. I like Immaculacy. Everyday is hell in this landfill shit hole.
What shit are you talking about? That room looks relatively clean. I hate "minimalist" 3 white ikea piece rooms with no decor or personality
>Junk in a box by the bike
>random ash tray looking object on the right corner table
>rolling pen looking object
>More clutter on the table
>Knife set?
you get the point. It is relatively clean if both measures are something that isn’t very clean.
And I also hate the cookie cutter minimalist room designs. I just like things to be placed on purpose. Although OP lives in a shit box. I can appreciate certain aspects like the bed, rugs, and plants.
It’s a studio apartment. Everyday-use items laying around is perfectly fine. The box by the bike is a valid point, could be stored away somewhere better. But it’s small and in a corner so no big deal
>its no big deal
sure.. no big deal.
maybe I should also just leave my shoes where i take them off huh? it’s a stuido apartment, no big deal. what about about cleaning my glass plate and dishes in the sink? no big deal right, Hey what if I don’t wash my fat stinky ass for 3 days and leave my underwear on the bathroom floor so you can step on them. no big deal.
now we have an obstruction in the walkway, flies in the sink and disgusting bathroom. but hey…no big deal. hecking degenerate.
did I hit a nerve? I’m sorry you’re living around subhumans
>maybe I should also just leave my shoes where i take them off huh?
You say this like its an issue you face alot. Where do you take off your shoes? I just leave them by the door or in my room. Who leaves their shoes anywhere else?
>I just leave them by the door or in my room.
use your brain. Don’t leave your shoes in the walk way or in open space area where people need to walk or you’re cluttered.
I’m still moving in, but the box is now gone.
I’ve got a shelf with my camera gear on it, but besides that I…I am basic. I don’t really have much else going on lol
Schizo
curtains
Looks good but it also looks staged. Like, its cozy but pretty basic. I cant get a beat on your personality or hobbies/interests. All I see is computer, plants and some cooking stuff. Basic human hobbies.
Looks great but also feels like its from a catalogue ad for an apartment. I believe someone lives there but theres no soul to it.
>I cant get a beat
bead
Get your bed out of the cuckcorner and buy a headboard
Otherwise you’re doing alright
get one of these for your bike.
i have two of them, and they work well. just make sure you secure it to the wall properly – and not just into drywall.
wall paint add some color
Plants Plants Plants, including a good couple hanging ones. You have great sunlight for them, take advantage of that.
Rugs look of good quality, maybe you could fit another two.
Get a nice second hand couch or else people will know you dont get many visits. I would recommend you place a two or three seater couch with its back stuck to the left side of your bed ( the one opposite to the wall). this would maximize space and allow you to watch movies on your pc monitor.
Finally, where are your books you hecking ignoramus.
Some seating isn’t a bad idea.
Books are coming second trip, along with a few more plants. Hanging plants though, that’s something.
too much work4me
be sure to remove that spycam from your ceiling fan too
4/10
You don’t really have anywhere for a guest to sit. There’s only your desk chair and bed. Rugs are good and obviously art will help but a small couch/futon with coffee table would probably go a long way. You could maybe put the desk against wall by the end of the bed and that’d free the whole wall up for a mini sitting area. Imo those sorts of modern tiny apartments invite minimalist, high tech, monastic, and orientalist aestetics. Pics of zen monasteries, Islamic seraglios, and high tech modern spaces would be where I’d get inspo to capitalize on what the architecture of the place asks for. I’ll post a few random inspo of what I’m talking about.
And Dont worry about holes in the wall. Just put white toothpaste in ’em. Ive never had a landlord notice.
I’ve heard about the toothpaste tip, I’ll try it and hang some work.
Thanks for the inspiration. I’ll get some kickass indoor plants.
Isn’t owning indoor plants annoying? Having to pay for and maintain all these hecking things?
Some people enjoy taking care of things
Seems more like an art gallery or a room in one of those movies with slow synths in the back.
>overloaded shelf over the bed
uh oh
Darwin Award?
>shoes inside
dirty ho
americans are disgusting
even worse is that she got her nasty shoes on the hecking furniture
Any ID on that giant beanbag thing? I need it so hecking bad
Your place looks very comfy anon, agree about adding a couch or something though
If I was you I’d place the desk in the corner by the window so you’d have the window to the left of you and you’d be looking out into the room when sitting at your desk, this is "feng shui" and what I personally like the best, i hate having a wall infront of my desk.
I’d also get some kind of closet to hide some of the clutter and perhaps a small kitchen table where you can eat at
A thick wide curtain can fill the space in left corner
Make sure to keep surface areas clean. Always put things away when you’re done using them. It makes a huge difference. And as the other anon said, you need a bit of art for the walls. I suggest one or two medium sized framed posters to your liking – tons to choose from, but cheap enough.
Post a few more pics. Where’s the clothes? What does the kitchen area look like? Which tree is your favourite?
I’m running about of space to store stuff, especially in the kitchen. but I’ll try
The coolest plant I own is a Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar, but it needs more sunlight than an apartment can give it.
I moved for graduate school. I’m a four hour drive from where I used to live. I’m paying for it by money I’ve saved up living with the parents.
>I’m running about of space to store stuff, especially in the kitchen.
then do the desk thing,
it will free up more space, seriously. I did it recently in my own studio and my room feels bigger and it just makes so more sense
How is putting a desk in the middle of the room going to free up space? I think that’d look dumb with how big my desk is and how small the room is. Maybe with just a desk it would be the best layout, but having a bed in here changes things I think. Plus I like being able to lay in bed and watch my monitor, I can’t afford/don’t have a full TV
I suggest putting it right by the window so when you sit there you have the wall behind you and can look outisde and into the room. you could then rotate your bed, then you just have to turn around your monitor when you wanna watch a movie or something. consider it if you wanna make the room feel bigger
Ohhh ok I was imagining something else. I may try that. It could look bad with the levels of wires I have running behind my desk.
so you moved out of your room in your parent’s house into another room that costs you like x00+ a month that: A. you don’t even own and B. will set you back on buying an actual house.
How isn’t this a meme?
Is this how american people live? Just hecking stay at your parents’ and save money until you got a down payment for a house, you fool.
What’s the rent for a place like this?
In a city of 250,000 its 1k a month no utilities. It was priced similar to other studios but I had to search for great windows. That was at the top of my wants because of plants
coming from someone who is, he is not.
Can only speak for my own city but between 1200-1600
This post is over 24 hours old and not one anon has mentioned Coving. Which is literally a standard essential.
Why is LULZ full of classless hecks?
so that’s how men live? bleak
If you were a woman you’d know from having been in men’s rooms. But you are a tranny so you have been nowhere outside your coomdungeon
>coom.
have you ever said that word out loud.
coom. lol coom. LMAOO COOM
Why do you like to be mean to people you don’t know? Who hurt you?
Same to you
thanks dude I’m gonna use the toothpaste trick and save some money tho. I already have toothpaste.
Get some plants, make your bed, get some mirrors in there to bounce some light. It’s so dark.
So my parents came to visit and I asked them to bring the only light I had, a studio one. Kind of fitting now that I’m typing it out.
looks alot better anon. less cluttered.
this looks nice, anon. as
said it’s not super ornate or defined in personality or anything but it’s not dreadful in any way. as time goes on you will probably find things to fill it with.
Where is that? How much rent you pay? What do you for a living?
Virginia, USA. Rent is 1150 including everything. Going to grad school now but I worked in a lab with a science degree.
Wall art but nice changes. The light looks just ok. Something that came away from the wall would look better. And hanging plants is smart.
>all that EMF
Disgusting. I feel bad for you.
looks cozy put shit on ur walls
Move back home and save money. Buy property.
Looks like shit. Get an actual computer chair with wheels and get rid of those hideous carpets. Pick up those clothes(?) off the floor and put them away. Get rid of that thing under your desk. Get rid of the shitclutter on the bottom left. Declutter your desk. Get rid of most of the plants and shit on your shelf and weird lamps, add a couple simple paintings or pictures to your walls. Fix your bed.
Also get rid of that little table the plants are on. It serves no real purpose.
wow, what an incredible ikea take. Bought any Kondo-candles lately?
>posts pic showing clear view outside a window
you just doxxed yourself
Put your desk in a separate room. Computer desks are for hecking nerds. Also those carpets are awful and destroy the minimalist look of everything else you have.
>Put your desk in a separate room
You do know what a studio apartment is, right?
