What size Lime Wash paint to buy for standard 8×12 ft wall? After reading a couple of posts recommending a variety of lime wash paint types, I’m gonna go with Bauwerk. I have a very simple white wall (previously painted, smooth) in my dining area that’s 8×12 feet roughly. Those who have worked with lime wash and of course added the water, what size paint would you recommend? It’s sold by litres. Thanks …

Curtain installation help I am looking to ideally install black out curtains in my bedroom. The roller blinds are outside mount style and are basically on the ceiling! I am a renter and would ideally not drill. Is my only option to have high projection brackets drilled in? I could also do a 115”+ tension rod but I am not confident it would hold curtains well or look good…

Small Bathroom Vanity Struggles My fiance insisted on this white oak floating vanity (pictured second) and it’s completely throwing off my ability to visualize the finished product! Our bathroom is very small (floor space 5ft x ft) not including tub space but does have high ceilings. Finally renovating it to open it up and just give a generally more clean modern look (farmhou…

Laptops for BROKE Interior Design Students Hi, I’m currently in college and am in desperate need of a windows laptop. My laptop stopped working (it was old) I have an IPad Pro. I need a laptop that is less than $500 (honestly less than $300 would be amazing but I doubt there are any). I would use it for softwares such as Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp. Any recommendations? Thanks! 🙂 subm…

I devoted 2 years to my interior design internship under the impression that I would be hired, now I’m jobless and defeated. I don’t necessarily need advice and I realize I’m not entitled to anything, I just wanted to share this tea because it feels shitty. I (30f) decided to make a career change in 2020 to interior design. I have a husband and child, so I was ready to hit the ground running with this new profession. I went back to school for a BA. 2 years in I lande…

Criss Bellini, is it worth it? Hi guys, I started hunting few wall arts and saw Criss Bellini Ads, he has good stuff but somehow I feel the prices are way over rated. For example, Andy okay has similar-ish stuff, with almost half the price. Can someone tell me if Criss is overrated, and if there are other arts I can look at? submitted by /u/Icy-Arugula-5252

How should I design around this in-wall column? Hello! I’ll be moving into a new apartment soon and I’ve never had a situation where I need to design around pillars. I work from home as well, so I need some space to put my desk setup. The biggest obstacle here is the pillar in the wall. Obviously having the couch/tv stand next to the pillar makes the most sense, but it limits the vertical spa…

Wainscotting wall behind sofa? My fiancé and I are working with an ID to re-design our small apartment and initially wanted a feature arch in the living room. However, since our home can only accomodate a depth of 8-10cm for the arch, decorative items will be small. To fill up the entire arch, we run the risk of things getting dusty and the area looking cluttered, which we w…

Is it worth getting this repaired or do we need a new couch? Our puppy decided to taste the couch during the fireworks. We’ve only had the couch around 10 months. We took out the warranty, but apparently we’re covered for almost everything except dog damage. Is it realistic to get this repaired, or will the repair cost just as much as a new couch? Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/arsefeckdrinkgir…

Curtain Help I recently moved and my bedroom doesn’t have blackout curtains. I checked and to get them custom done, they’d be about $1k which is also what the building mgmt said. What would you do in this situation? A or B both would have curtains over an empty wall which seems weird but I also think just putting something on the ceiling over the windows loo…

Would a light green rug work? Our new dining room would look like the first picture ( with white walls). Would the light mint rug go well with this? Wondering if it would look odd 😕 submitted by /u/Lost-Awareness-2294

Is it too bright now? I got a new rug on sale in an effort to brighten up the space a bit, I also swapped my office chairs with the yellow arm chair I originally had in the living room so there’d be more available seating when I’m hosting, but now I feel like it’s a bit too bright? And potentially also too into the more French regency style rather than the more scand…

Studio apartment in open plan warehouse How do I go about heating a place that’s over 60sqm (650sqft)? I was looking into two items, either an electronic fireplace, or infrared radiators, has anyone used either in the past to see how they work in a 3m (10ft) ceiling? Please refer to the images below to where the raditor is located and how it can heat the rest of the space. Blue – Exis…

TV in front of windows or along wall? Moving into this apartment’s layout soon and beginning to plan the living space. Should I put the TV in front of the windows, with the back of my couch to the kitchen, or along the far wall? also, would appreciate some advice on mounting the TV vs leaving it on an entertainment stand. submitted by /u/cowboi_codi

Bedroom/Workspace This is just a quick representation so it’s not very accurate. Things that should be taken into consideration: 1-All windows open to the inside so it should be considered when placing objects close to them. 2- The base of all the windows start at the same height which is about 1.1 m but while the windows on the wall to the right have a standard …

Door trim paint in powder room We’re painting our powder room one dark color (ceiling, trim and door included). How far do we take the paint past the interior of the door? Do we just stay strictly to the confines of the bathroom, with the door closed? The hallway trim and exterior of the door will be white. Thank you for any advice!! submitted by /u/Whatapine …

Do i even need a designer? Hi all Wanted to pick the brains of many designers here! So we purchased our next home, it is a brand new townhome 3,000 sq ft, 3 stories with a full basement suite for our parents to visit, there is also a really sick and spacious den below staircase (with 7-8 feet clearing) that we plan to turn into my wife and i’s work area. At the top floor …
