I like the 2 chairs at either side of the fireplace but the 2 couches are too long to put together. I think my only option is a new couch or just leave it as is. I will include several pictures from different places in the living room. We use all even though there’s just 2 of us. First 2 pics are older the last one is…
hello everyone! I need your expertise on what to do with this front yard. As you can see it is not big at all. I have changed to front door paint from off white to blue. Added some plants and stones as well. But right now i feel like it made the space smaller. I am thinking of just cementing the whole front or maybe pavers…
Hi all! Every single closet in my apartment have sliding doors and they are all covered in mirrors. Every.Single.One. Ugh! Replacing them all is not in the budget unfortunately. I am currently redesigning my bedroom and would like to figure out a way to disguise the wall of mirrors opposite my bed. All the mirror doors are…
We live in a tiny 42 sq meter rental in Italy. Our kitchen and living room is one open space. The landlord put in this huge TV very high because outlet and hook ups are also very high. How can we fix this and not make TV the focus point of the space.
hi guys! Im in desperate need of your help. I own a 1930’s home and even though i love the house im lost when it comes to designing the living room. Not sure what i should keep and what i should remove, and also add. The rug for sure need to be tossed, would love to get advice on what kind of sofa (color too) and rug…
If anyone can provide visual cues it would be greatly appreciated. What has me stumped is this cool metal and lets no overlook (I know they’re a blessing but…) all the doors won’t allow for setting up a focused entryway/landing spot. Thank you in advance. P.S. Yes I tried AI and I don’t know what’s worse, my lack of vision…
I need help remodeling my bathroom? Can someone help me with a place to start?
Hello - I am actively designing my studio apartment and having some challenges with the layout - does anyone have any suggestions? In the main living area, I'd like to include a queen bed, sofa, desk and a wardrobe (Only 1 closet off the main entrance).
Hello all! I would love some advice on what to do with an odd living room space. We want seating for at least 4 people, and the only place for the TV is between the two wall openings. The aesthetic of the rest of the house is Scandinavian. Struggling with type of couch and if a sectional is best or a couch and two chairs -…
Hi! This is my first time posting and I just recently became a member, so I hope I’m doing this right This is our main entryway through the back door, and it opens directly into our kitchen. We have two cats and a toddler, so this area gets a ton of traffic/mess I’m trying to figure out the best rug setup here and would…

I've been dealing with carpet moths for the last few months and have spent hours researching/trying to get rid of them. Luckily, I think I've got them under control—it seemed to be one main rug that had them—but I just came across this piece by @LizzyFrancis sharing her experience, and… 1) Lizzy, I feel for you so hard!!!…
https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/nice-smelling-home-spring-37389843 I liked this article! It was helpful and upbeat in tone. Under the section about candles and room sprays it also mentioned simmer pots which I’ve always meant to try. Since I am sensitive to lots of spray fragrances I think I will actually do this one…
Hi All, I just retired and happened to stumble on your amazing site and I also joined the much needed Cure Program. Any one have some thoughts on the best thing/place/people to donate/sell a closet full of really nice clothes that are still in great shape? Much appreciated - Lily
How do I remove acrylic paint from berber carpet that was spilled ?
Decluttering and organising my home especially closet. Any ideas? Even socks
I am not a professional organizer, but those mixed containers of items at the bottom I would move to eye level so easier to look through, and put things that are very easy to grab - potentially the pastas on the lower shelf. You can see them when you are after them. For the paper plates, of which there are several types,…
My current environment has officially hit a breaking point. Between the cable chaos under my desk, stacks of old sketches, and a digital file system that makes no sense, I’ve realized that the visual noise is actually killing my productivity. I’m starting a deep-clean and reorganization phase today, but I don’t want to do…
Just wanted to say I really appreciate the 5/7 decluttering method as described in an article by Shifrah Cornbliths!
three years ago this year, and I started decluttering. I hadn’t thing away for 20 years. So I started my journey of I room to room. I have a three bedroom but the different purposes. During the process I lost a lot of weight I was more active than I was when I was working so I had to go through my clothes I didn’t realize…

I'm getting up the nerve to paint our hallway and our bedroom after that. It's covered in paneling originally put in in the 60's. I'm getting ready to paint it an off-white. Any words of wisdom (do's or don'ts) for a novice panelling painter? All help appreciated!

Miss the original comment section. There's also now no link from each article to this chat forum. No idea how to find comments on this article if there are any.
Hey everyone. I recently bought a new SALTSJÖBADEN sofa from IKEA and put it together, but the back and armrests aren't lining up. I went to the local IKEA and found their floor model and am seeing the same thing. I was wondering if this is normal? I complained about it but they told me they talked to corporate and was…

Hi NY friends! Where do you like to shop for your homes in and around NYC? Any favorite thrift/antique or home goods shops? I live upstate now, but every time I go down to the city I wished I had a list of new (and old) places to shop around because I get overwhelmed by all the options. It would be fun to crowd-source the…
I find it so exhausting decorating and trying to find the time to craft this years cutest catches before it is "too late."
