Does anyone know where I can find this Dwell Studio duvet or something like it? I can only find the pillows online and I'm in love with large, chunky stripes right now:



If not, does anyone know where I can find a similar rug within a modest budget?

I would love everyone's opinion:

Is it okay to mix dark brown wood and oak wood in one room?

Do you prefer a patterned duvet with solid pillows or a solid duvet with patterned pillows (I LOVE Inhabit's pillows!)

I just moved into a small studio (14.5" x 18") and I'm pretty much working with a clean slate and searching for my inspiration. My goal is to have my studio completed by the end of next week, but I don't have ANY ideas!

What would you do with a space like this? I'm willing to part with anything/everything and re-buy within a modest budget.

I love the console table (or what looks like one) underneath!

Please bear with me! I'm in desperate need of help!

I just moved into a tiny Village studio (18' x 14.5' is the main room) two weeks ago. I have a LOT of closet space a little attic, and a balcony with table and chairs outside one window. It is FLOODED with sun throughout the day, and I get to see the sunset every night out of my window! I have an eclectic style and a low budget. It's a complete work in progress and I don't know where to begin! I'm open to disposing and replacing anything within a modest budget. I have so many concerns that I feel posting some photos and asking for general advice is the best way to go.

Please ignore the numerous floor lamps in the photos - I had a few from my old apartment and the previous tenant left some (PS: anyone in NY need a floor lamp, 25" Sanyo TV?)

Here are some of my main concerns, but if anyone

Dark wood furniture in half of the studio/light wood in the other half

I need curtain panels but have no idea what color scheme might work.

My bedspread needs updating and I need throw pillows for my bed and couch, and I have no idea what to do about rugs!

I need a work station of sorts. Nothing crazy, just a table and chair for a laptop.

The big shelf unit between the windows. The previous tenant left it for me because I thought I wanted it, but I don't need it for the storage and now it's annoying me (does anyone want this?).

ETC. ETC. ETC.

When you enter the studio, there is a hallway with the bathroom and closet on either side. This is the view from the hallway (it bothers me that I "walk into" my bed, but if I put the bed on the other side of the studio, it's near the kitchen. Not sure what to do!)

Any advice in general would be greatly appreciated!
I'm desperate and need inspiration before I can get started! I'm overwhelmed!
