My bedroom is very small, but I’ve managed to stuff it with a lot of furniture

My bedroom is very small, but I’ve managed to stuff it with a lot of furniture.

I have a huge desk from K-Mart. Sure it’s not the classiest place in the world to be buying furniture for the long term, but it was what I could afford at the time. It’s gigantic.

I love it. I wanted a desk I felt like I could live in, and this is definitely it. It was all kinds of special compartments and tons of room for everything I need to store.

I recently got a dresser from IKEA, it also is a little bit too big for the room but I love it. It’s black, but there was a wrong color piece of work included so there’s a regular wood colored stripe that runs along the bottom.

I don’t really care though, because the doors open and close very easily and I finally am storing my clothes somewhere instead of just putting them on the floor.

I also got these really cool mirrors from Ikea in an S shape. There are two of them side by side. They’re a great alternative to a traditional full-length mirror.

Finally there’s the actual bed itself. It’s queen-sized, which again is just a little bit too big for the room. I guess that’s my running decorating theme, but that’s how I wanted it. Read more »

Most of my bedroom furniture is from Ikea

Well most of my bedroom furniture is from Ikea. I have a queen size bed with a memory foam mattress, then there is an Ikea shelf, dresser and lamp.

My father built some drawers into the closet. I’d definitely change my furniture if I could.

One time my lamp fell onto my mattress (lamp was on) and it burnt a big whole out of my mattress and started a fire but my dog smelt the fire so it was easy to put out. Read more »

My living room is furnished around the fact that I have two little pug dogs

My living room, as well as my entire one-bedroom apartment, is furnished around the fact that I have two little pug dogs that shed their beige hair a lot!

In order to camophlage this, I have furnished my entire living room in the color beige! Color can be found in the pillows and the wall hangings. In order to read my morning newspaper in comfort, with one pug dog on either side of me, I purchased a large Bergere chair, with a matching ottoman, in beige leather which I found advertised in a newspaper by the well-known department store, Bloomingdale’s.

I had it shipped about 1500 miles. Alongside it there is a metal floor lamp and a small chest made of rattan that I use as a place to put a phone and the coffee cup.

My living room has two sections, each about ten feet long and ten feet wide. One section has the Bergere chair, lamp and chest, along with two beige “easy” chairs. Although the dogs are not allowed on either of these, they are upholstered in a beige cotton material. Read more »

We chose the living room furniture mainly by price, style, and comfort

Our living room is on the small size for a living room but about average for the duplex style on our block. It has a strange layout that limits how you place the furniture.

One wall has sliding glass doors. Another is long enough to put almost anything against it. The third wall is fairly short due to the doorway leading into the hall to the bedrooms. And the forth “wall” won’t even fit a loveseat.

What I would suggest to anyone with these issues is to find a way to maximize the space you have in the room by using the furniture to define where the room starts and ends. We only rent and brought our furniture in with us, which consists of a love seat and a chair with an ottoman. Read more »
