Help with home layout Just became a first time homeowner of a single storey house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, and am considering ways of remodeling and laying out my home. I’ve attached a diagram of the current layout, not too scale and with rough measurements. The house is built in the 1940s on a raised foundation meant for a 2 storey home, but ended up being a …

Trying to hide a fuse box, any ideas? We have this fuse box (which due to a reno is now in our living room) that has an ugly door and stands out. The space is about 1.5 feet wide. Any suggestions for how to thoughtfully cover it so that it looks like something is meant to be there? I’m thinking bookshelf on hinges, but wondering if there are better ideas out there? Thank you for any…

SDSU or ASU for interior design degree My child got accepted to both schools, but really wants to attend SDSU. ASU would be significantly cheaper so she would have to pay the difference to attend SDSU. We are under the impression both schools have good interior design/architecture programs. Anyone have any opinions on which school would be better? Anyone quit SDSU? submitted by…

Do interior designers suggest art? (Subject ^ ) + if you do buy or suggest specific artworks to your clients when you design their space, what kind of commission or other incentive would you require if you worked with a gallery where you sourced those artworks?

Living room / lounge layout design I need help designing my living room space. The major issue I have is that I have the entry door right in the middle of one of the longer walls. It will primarily be used by a couple to lounge around and watch TV, but occasionally to entertain guests. We’ll also probably also have our parents living with us for 1-2 months a year so I would ideal…

Is it a crime to cover this fireplace? I’ve wanted to change this fireplace since we moved into our 70’s house. I’ve had several people comment that it’d be a crime to change it, so I’m looking for a few more opinions before I dive in. For context, the bones of the house are Mediterranean with a courtyard, arched doorways, red tile roof, red tile floors being finished, dark beams, e…

Help please, I don’t know if it’s the right choice Hello everyone, I’m in a very strange and stressful period of my life and I’m seeking help wherever I can find it. So, I am an Italian 19 and majoring in painting, which I don’t really like because I feel like I’m wasting my time in something that doesn’t give me future opportunities. Also an important thing, this university is kinda close to my…

What kind of design and trim can I get away with in this house? I’m moving back into a house I own in Southern California and it does not have any charm or character. My dream is having picture frame trim and crown molding and moody paint with vintage ornate vibes mixed with a little bit of modern, last pics for me example, but I am not sure of what I can get away with in this 8 ft ceiling and no character h…

Settle this argument — where is the “middle” of this wall We are placing a shelf and a tv on the wall of this bedroom. At the top of the room are two closets. My friend considers the shelf to be centered even if it’s touching the door frame, but I am arguing that the center of the wall is offset by the presence of the door. submitted by /u/StIvesAcneControl

We have a 1 acre lot with a huge backyard. First off would a 38’x2…

Are any people happy with their Structube couches? I’m looking at couches in the $2000-3000 range (currently on sale). Do these last longer than their cheaper $800-1500 couches? Or do they all suck? Hoping to keep it for 7-10+ years. I’m torn because I like one of them and a friend has been happy with how her structube couch has held up but all I see online are horror stories and how they delete…

Where should I put the small couch? Which way looks better? I’m thinking I’d adding a comfy chair with ottoman to the empty space. I know the coffee table is awkward, but we’re stuck with it. submitted by /u/Helpme1187

Lost on floor plan I tried my best to work on this floor plan to allow for a TV that will hopefully not go over the fireplace. Am I overlooking anything regarding this set up? Does anyone see any pain points I may have overlooked? This room will be used for kids to play, TV watching, and enjoying the fireplace. We do actually have another living room area that wil…

Struggling to work out room layout I apologize for the weird layout in the picture, I have never used a software like this before and it was a little difficult for me to get it lined up. Basically, I have two bedrooms in this house (1, 2 and 3 show one room while 4 and 5 show the other). I am trying to work out the best way to have a master bedroom and an office/spare room laid o…

Looking for Feedback on My Living Room Layout Hi everyone! I’ve been working on living room design in my apartment and wanted to get some feedback. I attached a 3D render of the layout. This post is more about the placement and arrangement of furniture and items, not about the specific colors or pieces. I plan to use different colors and finishes, so feedback on the layout itself is what I’…

Keep these 2 dark bedrooms as green and navy blue when we rent? Or paint neutral? We’ve moving away for a few years and will be renting our house. I’m torn about how or whether to repaint some upstairs bedrooms. Our house is large cape-cod, with the main bedroom, a “nursery/office”, and a guest bedroom all downstairs, and all neutral gray paint on walls. Other rooms are not bland, but they are neutral (greige front room, ligh…
