How do you pin down your interior design style? My husband and I are closing on our first home in a few weeks and I have been eyeballs deep in looking at interior design inspiration. The problem is I feel like a completely different person every time I open up my Pinterest! One day I’m attracted to muted cottage core, the next day I’m wanting colorful mid-century modern, and the next day I’m …

Torn between my two tastes, dark cottagecore and malibu barbie I have spent most of my life with my tastes securely in the dark, medieval leaning, old world gothic vibes and have dreamt of buying a house that would work with this (as opposed to something super modern looking that would feel completely off with that kind of decor). I achieved my dream and just moved in to the cutest old house, built in 1900 …

Bad idea or not? Just finishing our kitchen remodel. I’d like it to mimic the wood beams and wood counter on the built-in on the opposite side of the room. It looks plain otherwise. I added wood trim along the the countertops to see how it’d look and I like it. But the wood trim doesn’t look right. I haven’t found brown tile as one solution. Should I abandon the…

Do you like these interiors? Which one do you like the most? 1-9 submitted by /u/Foreign_Ad4656

Shower doors I stay in a LOT of hotels for work. Both in the US and Europe I’ve noticed the last 5 years or so a pretty steep uptick in showers with no doors/curtain options, or just “half doors” where half of the shower is open to the rest of the bathroom. What’s up with this? It’s both for walk-in and tub options usually in fairly nice hotels. It doesn’t l…

Some potential ide…

Sectional too big? My wife and I are finishing up a remodel of our new home and we’re in the stage of picking out furniture. We found an amazing sectional but with the existing built ins that we’re leaving in place it feels slightly cramped.
