This room is very plain. I'm wanting to add some "manly" decor. FYI whatever i do I must undo when I move out (this is an apt)

Unblanced windows : Please help
Comments (3)Can you not add a pelmet above the windows and extend it to the full length of that wall. Hang a curtain there so when it's closed it becomes a wall of curtain and when it's open, it's pulled all the way to the right thus creating a design feature as well as disguising the unevenness of the windows....See MorePls help, mosaic doesn't match with wall tiles, how can I salvage this
Comments (13)Hi Rubypumps. Unfortunately you have made the common mistake of mixing undertones. I see this a lot as a colour consultant. Mistakes with your hard finishes are the worst kind because they are very costly to change. Right now your walls have a pink undertone and your walls behind the tub and counter are clearly blue grey. Since blue is complementary to pink, it brings out the pink in the tile even more and the clean blue makes the tile look dirty. It may be hard for you to see this, but this is what's happening and this is probably why you don't like your bathroom. Since you chose such a busy mosaic, it has become the boss (and focal point) of the room and I would now keep your other finishes as simple as possible. If you can, down the road, change the beige tile. Because unfortunately, there is no magic colour combination that will make it disappear. Working with what you have, I would most likely go with a more neutral cabinet like Uniboard G21 Viva Walnut. It will help warm up the space. Black is too stark for this bathroom....See MoreClueless on rug color! Help me find my perfect rug!
Comments (27)You already have your accent colour as your sofa pillows (log roll pillows). I would take one of them shopping with me to get a rug that has that colour in it. It doesn't need to be a lot of that colour (I love the idea of burgandy rug here...but it might be too much with your monotone scheme). You can find a large rug that incorporates that red/raspberry in it so that you have a colour that is now your accent....See MoreNeed help to determine where to place my inbuilt oven
Comments (14)Hi Fred, Thanks for the want of the precise measurements. The U shape area in my kitchen is 64" - 104 - 99" (left - centre - right). Height of the kitchen area is 107". The wall with the fridge has total length of 99" Fridge is 32" wide, 29" deep, 73" high (I bought this fridge on a good bargain but realized it was slightly oversized in this kitchen area, but got to live with it now) The wall beside the fridge is 23" deep I know some gap has to be left between this wall, the fridge and the wall mounted/countertop cabinets for ventilation I guess. So I'd say the cabinets on this wall will have a length of only 63"/64"? The microwave is 18.5 wide, 13" deep, 10.5" high The oven is 24" wide, 24" deep, 24" high. The wall next to the fridge which will have this feature cabinet 42" wide, 110" high which is next to the main door. I'm thinking the feature wall is kind of plain, but it covers up where the fridge is sticking out....See MoreUser

9 years agoI think you mean pillow shams, but they call them different things in different parts of the world. European pillow is another word - big square pillows. Here's a photo to start you off (ignore the walls, obviously, but the bed colour is similar).

9 years agoThis is the kind of lamp I mean:You can get them shiny (nickel), matt, colours, vintage, reproduction, etc. but I think the style might be what you are looking for. Or maybe not?

9 years agoThere is no formula. You're in an apartment. There's a limit to what you can do. Find a room that has the style you love and copy it.
BTW, tossing the pillows to the head of the bed and pulling up the duvet is not making the bed. It's okay, because I don't make my bed either, except when I expect someone to see it. This is a made bed:

9 years agoThat ruelala site requires you to join, so I won't be looking there. Made that mistake with Joss and Main.
Your brown duvet looks more yellowy-tan. The whole room is too bright. Cover that back wall with a removable wallpaper or mural if you can't paint.
As for the living room, no to the pallet furniture. It looks like college-apartment leftovers. Futons have come a long way; now they look like regular sofas:

Paint the back wall a deep charcoal. If you can show us the whole wall, I'll tell you if you should hang anything on it.
