    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.

    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 see any issue.

    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.

    Your setup is absolutely diabolical, I appreciate the commitment to the bare essentials.
