I’m moving soon and I’ve 0 instinct for that, so looking for help and ideas :)

Bed frame. Nightstand. Plant. Painting. Then you’ll be on the hot train to sex o’clock my friend.
Prioritize having it fit your needs best instead of pleasing other people who don’t even live in your home. Don’t fret if it might look bad to someone else as long as it looks good to you, and don’t forget that functionality should come first. There’s so much BS styling for the sake of styling that make homes more difficult to actually live in and use the amenities of.
Also, I find that you get used to your home to the point where any decorations fade into the background so fast that it’s rarely worth it to spend a ton of effort to make it look pretty. You’re not going to appreciate or even notice it just a month or two after you redecorate.
Ugh. I pity people who have such a lack of self-respect that that can tolerate living in this kind of dump. If the bed was rotated ninety degrees, they could watch TV lying on their side. But I guess whoever lives here is happy to just settle for imperfection.
Have a woman do it, or end up in a man cave like me.
Sick synth setup bro!
Men will see this and go ‘hell yeah’
Joke aside, look into Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing : New Horizons home decor tutorials. They give you great ideas and the most important part: they don’t try to shill some brand/furniture/home decor course
Also, you should put practicality over everything else, function is the most important. You need a big desk for you hobbies but it looks kinda goofy in your small room ? Not a problem it is functional.
For arranging your furniture check out Dear Modern’s videos. The things he says sound kinda like spiritual stuff (idk if you are into that, it doesn’t matter tbh), however the advice is solid and it will prevent you from feeling bad in your room due to the furniture arrangement.
Good luck with creating a room that will fit you !
“guys really live in apartments like this and don’t see any issue”
Nosy people who can’t mind their own damn business really judge people for things as benign as this and don’t have any issue.

2nd person recommending that channel. I know what to watch tonight.
Didn’t expect a stardew valley recommendation, but will give it a try too. Can’t hurt!
Thanks, wise Owl!
You’re welcome ! (I’d say that ACNH is better in this case because of the 3D)
“Single with 3 roommates at a crap job just moved in” style.
Perfection
This looks like the humble beginnings of a sims run
How do I open the console to type motherlode ?
Your setup is absolutely diabolical, I appreciate the commitment to the bare essentials.
Thanks for the compliment. But sadly, this picture isn’t mine, I’m not at that level. I used it as a conversation starter, to get the idea across.
I’d suggest a bed frame and unblocking any vents or outlets.
Yes, a lot of people view the lack of a bed frame as negative. If you’re dating or otherwise having folks in your room besides a single long term partner you may want to get one so people don’t view it as a problem.
Do you feel like your needs are met when you are in your space, or do you find yourself wishing there was something… perhaps a place to set or hang your keys, a table for beverages, or maybe a bedside cabinet for storing nighttime items?
Do you want something sturdier to set the tv on and hide the wires behind? Do you like the height of your bed, or would you want a bedframe with drawers or storage underneath?
Want more color or more to look at? Maybe hang a few framed photos, some artwork, posters, or even a piece of cool or interesting fabric.
Have any projects/hobbies that you might want to dedicate an area to? It could be some drawers with a tabletop work area, cabinets for storing supplies, a wall mounted folding tabletop, etc.
Are you inviting others over? Might want to have somewhere for them to sit; a couch, loveseat, recliner, etc. Ideally something you like and would want to use. It could be nice to have a side table or coffee table next to furniture seating.
Do you have/want to start a collection of anything? Small wall shelves or a little bookcase could display interesting things you feel inspired by, gifts others have given you, souvenirs, photos, etc.
i let the wife do it. She enjoys it, I don’t
TV straight against the wall and a couch on the opposite wall. Matress on a bedframe and in a separate room.
Mattress goes on the floor, dead simple really.
Bed frames are heavy, require assembly, annoying to clean around/under. Cost more money.
Bed frames provide storage space under the mattress, make it more comfortable getting in and out of bed and gives your partner something to hold onto.
exactly as pictured
as the prophecy foretold
The mantra of /r/malelivingspace:
- proper lightsource like a standing lamp
- some potted plant for color and life
- get at least an armchair, dude.
- TV wallmounted at an appropriate height
- separation of living and sleeping (No TV in the bedroom)
- get a rug that that really ties the room together
- a big framed (!) artpiece like a painting or poster
There’s an IKEA couch table that used to cost 15 bucks and looks pretty good. Use rugs to create islands in the room, for example beneath the couch area. Use pillows on the couch as color accents. Maybe paint the walls something different than white.
Look on YouTube and the net, there should be plenty of inspiration.
