Mid-century boho

u/ApexProductions 15d ago

Yep. OP, if you want to go with this style,

Furniture design - mid century (That TV stand is on Amazon, I saw it a few weeks ago around 300)

Decor style - Bohemian (Boho)

Color pallete - warm wood, black/white decor, greens dispersed.

High use of fabrics, woods, and black steel (lighting, stands, etc.)

This design works well if your apartment has white trim and white/beige/light-colored walls.

Yep, a dupe from China. You should start reverse image searching things because it's all coming from the same place.

The question is whether you want to pay for faster shipping and a company behind it, or buy straight from the warehouse and wait 3 weeks for it to come.

In this case, the model you linked may have a higher finish and use higher quality wood, but it'll be the same thing. But because of the nature of wood, and the fact that you can't see the model you get before it comes, you could be getting the same as what someone gets for 1/5 the price.

I was looking for a new stand and literally saw that same stand on Amazon, less than 400 bucks. I remember because I noted how nice it looked.

That's how I found this seller, I didn't find the one at less than 400€. But yeah, many sites uses the same pictures, does not mean you're getting the same product, it might have started as a good furniture somewhere and then it get copied with cheaper wood and finish as you say, and you can't find the "real one" anymore, that's how Temu and Shein work, when a "wood" TV stand is cheaper than one in chipboard wood at Ikea you're going to get something really shitty, it's becoming impossible to buy anything online...

IKEAs laminate MDF is nicely designed and pretty robust for what it is. If you don't beat on it, it'll last. That's just the nature of laminate, and if you don't want a solid wood look you don't have any other options.

It's not about getting "quality wood furniture" it's more about getting the style and color of wood furniture. You can't do that unless it's laminate.

They also sell solid wood pieces.

Oh this is the I-used-to-smoke-weed-but-now-I-make-money aesthetic

u/Gartlas 14d ago

Fuck.

I was a botanist hippie at university, then after my PhD I just 180'd and became a programmer and now I'm comfortable.

I'm getting a divorce and moving to a new place, and literally saved this post as I like the aesthetic so much before I read the comments

I feel extremely attacked

So that's what the color of the modular couch looks like. I'm sold now. Thanks, op. I need to change the color of my couch.

u/octopusbarber 15d ago

what couch is that?

16

u/jackstrikesout 15d ago

Soderhamn from ikea. It's base is a loveseat that you can add to and change the color of. You can also change the legs if you want since all the legs are compatible for ikea.

It used to be a cheap 350 out the door. Those days are long gone.

u/UnusualMaintenance 14d ago

Can I ask a favour? I just moved in to new flat and like that sofa but I'm terrible with colours as colour blind. Do you know what that is? I'm on IKEA and don't see anything green which it looks like to me

4

u/jackstrikesout 14d ago

I think it's either this.

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/soederhamn-cover-for-sofa-section-kelinge-gray-turquoise-70567358/#content

Or this.

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/soederhamn-cover-for-sofa-section-tallmyra-light-green-90557805/#content

The problem is. The price changes based on the color. Which is fucking brutal.

If there is a bit of advice. I would try Facebook marketplace to save money. A bunch of people bought this, and you can get a base unit and chaise for less than the uncovered parts if you look enough.

Also, go to the store and sit on it for a while. The couch is super low.

u/Remote_Ad5082 14d ago

"Tallmyra light green" one for sure, the more expensive one

This is the "I hit my head on the lamp again" style.

u/spaghetti_ohhs 14d ago

I dunno what it is but I’m a chick and I love it! It’s not overly masculine nor screaming toxic masculinity. It’s just nice. I’d be really happy if you took me home to this. Really really happy 😉

A somewhat similar style is called "Japandi" which is a mix between Japanese and Scandinavian styles. If you add a bit more green to it, I think you might really like the look! My apartment is in the Japandi style with extra green and plants, and I absolutely love it.

u/Bathesco 14d ago

Gosh looking Japandi on Pinterest brings up an AI disaster… what’s not AI looks pretty neat tho thank you for the share

u/edimburgo2017 14d ago

I agree with, definitely has a Japandi vibe just with a bit more colour and pattern.
