graceful coverup of ceiling tube Hi everyone! I am looking to rent this apartment, but the grey tubing is a large turnoff for me. It is along one wall through the living room, hallway, and bedroom. I cannot do a permanent / altering solution such as painting it. I thought about hanging a blanket to cover it—but the ceiling seems too low to do that. Additionally, I thought about…

Bed frame color clashes with the floor Just got this in and assembled somehow to realize at the end and it clashes with the flooring. Am I being too particular? Thoughts? Open to opinions and if you agree with me, how can it be fixed? Super upset as I just bought a home and I want everything to look nice 🙁 submitted by /u/Every-Position2345

Need advice on mudroom I’m pretty happy with everything except for the mudroom area. It seems too cramped and wastes too much space to keep it presentable to access the powder room. Should I move the entrance to the PR to the other side so it’s not through the mudroom? That seems less practical though (you want easy access to it from outside). Or what about moving the…

Stair help My stairs are surrounded by blank walls. Looking to add something so it’s not so bland. Maybe a chandelier where the current recessed light is? Millwork? The bottom leads to my living room wall (see pics) so I’m not sure where I would stop millwork if so. Any thoughts appreciated! submitted by /u/Southernpanda9

Should I change the color of these black shelves or leave them? This is my basement office/tv room. Sorry about all the clutter. I’m going to be throwing a lot of that stuff away. I’m wondering if the black shelves on my desk and on the walls above my computer should be changed or do you think they look ok the way they are? The trim around the doorways and windows is white as well as the shelves on the other…

Shade advice Hi! I’m new here so sorry if this question has been asked already. But I just moved into my new place and need 6 shades. I’ve chosen the Sandvedel roller blinds from IKEA due to their sleek look, price and reviews. Unfortunately, their sizing sucks (very limited) so my question is if I have a window that’s 29 x61”, can a 27×76” or 30×76” blind f…

Built-in Paint Tips I recently painted a small hallway area, and am stumped with how to handle the built-in. Should the whole thing be treated as trim and painted to match the (yet to be repainted) trim? The top, sides, bottom line up with the trim, I can see those matching. What about the drawers and cabinet? I can see the vertical surface at the base of the cupbo…

Shades Help! Corner Windows, Shallow Depth Hey everyone – got a weird window situation my husband and I are trying to figure out. We have a 1950s home with old window frames that are making it incredibly difficult to find shades for one of the rooms (thankfully just the one).

Interior Design Salary I’m doing some market research on salaries for junior level designers. I’ve been in the field for a year and a half, and my pay right now as a junior interior designer with a bachelors and no certs yet (working on license) is around 55k in the DC Metro area, so high quite a cost of living.

Vertical paneling question. This living room I will make all black. Walls and ceiling. I am thinking of adding vertical paneling where the TV is currently sitting. This is the previous owners layout.

Dining table in dark or light area? Me and my boyfriend recently moved and although our apartment is extremely beautiful we are not really good at decorating the space, haha. Our living room/main area consists of 2 spaces connected by an arc. So we want to put couches + tv in one part and the dining table in the other. But we have a bit difficulty deciding as the smaller area is r…
