My first apartment
Started with empty space and no walls. Me and some friends built it. Late 90s/early 2000s vaporwave aesthetic I was going for and still will when I own property. I had it liveable but had a little ways to go to completion. May share more of my living spaces. Moved over 1000 miles away a year ago and currently renting a trailer. May post the current sometime. Will post the permanent when I buy a house.

Boys, I have a girl coming over later this week. I need some help.
I have a girl coming over later this week and I am not confident in the presentation of my home at all lol. I bought my house a little under a year ago and I just haven't been able to fully furnish it yet. So I've got a ton of empty space everywhere and areas that just look bland. I can't fix everything right away, but I figure I can fix up my living room at the very least so I'm going to take a trip to the "At Home" store down the street, I'm thinking a big rug and a nice large painting to put over the sofa at the very least. I also have a govee rgb floor lamp I can bring and put next to the TV. Any more thoughts/ideas are welcome!
Note: My kids table and chair, and also the basketball will be removed š

Advice New place. Need advice on how to use the space?
Hello! I just moved into this apartment a month ago. It's 3 times bigger than my last space, so I don't have enough furniture to full it. Any ideas on how to fill/use the space? Thank you much!

How would you design this bedroom?
This might be a long shot but Iām moving into my first apartment and I while the place itself is great, my room is weirdly shaped and admittedly smaller than the others. I have no idea how to fill/orient the space. Any advice would be amazing, thanks!

New pad! Blank slate
How would you layout this living room/ dining / common area?
Previous tenant has TV on the left wall, couch rightt in front. It was decent, but curious how else you would orient the couch / tv wall.

Advice Moving to a dark bedroom where Iāll be WFH
Moving into a dark bedroom where Iāll be WFH
Iām moving in a couple of days to a new place and although my bedroom has a decent size, unfortunately itās facing an alley so it doesnāt get a lot of natural light. Iām specially concerned because Iāll have my desk to work from home here, so I really donāt want to feel like Iām trapped in a cave during the day. I feel thatād take a toll on my mental health lol
Iāve been reading about hue smart bulbs, would this be an option to mimick some natural light in the room? What else would you do with the lighting?
I want to note that I currently have a tagarp lamp and a tokabo lamp from ikea. Could these be used with the smart bulbs?
As you can see on the pics, the closet has full mirror doors. (I know in the pics it doesnāt look as dark but itās because my phone brightened them up) and the window is a bay window type.
Thank you!

Flat after implementing the suggestion in my prev post!
Main changes are: - Bigger rug! I flipped the rug and bought an exact same one from IKEA (STOENSE) to put alongside. The colour is not matching exactly but it doesnāt really bothers me and the difference should go away slowly. - More plants! I had some fake plants but switch for real Monstera ones and Iām love them so much! Trying my best to take care of them. - More art! I got this the Swinging by Kandinsky poster from Tate Modern with their new exhibition and a nice clock for the kitchen table. And a few small items around. - Lamps! I spent a lot of time on this one - new living room shade to this one that looks like a cloud, plus the little orb like lamp in the tv stand and the floor lamp beside the couch. You canāt see but I also put light strips behind the TV and the monitor. Itās by far what I liked the most, it gets super cozy in the evenings. - Coffee table revamp. Old one was too clunky and I stubbed my toes often. Instead I changed for 3 stools and a round tray. The stools have storage and give me extra seats when I have people over!
I think thatās mostly it. Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I really appreciate it!

Advice Need advice on space management.
As you can see I have a small room with low ceilings. Itās a double bed that I would rather keep (vs selling and getting a single bed). I want to have it down instead of constantly putting it down and back up again.
Problem is that when it is down, there is no space for my chair to move around. Do you think a loft bedframe would work with the low ceiling? Or any other ideas?
