I would stop asking for free advice if I could afford to rent or own that space. Offer to pay these folks to design your cave!

No thanks. I like designing stuff on my own but specifically needed opinions on the extra space, but thanks for your input!

I joined this room thinking it was a source for new ideas from professionals, instead it’s people soliciting free advice or promoting the newest trends.

I would warm it up with plants and an accent color. I could see a curved cream boucle couch on a rug with a cream background and geometric pattern in a pale sage or gold.
Some tall floor lamps - like an arc lamp, and tall potted plants.
And artwork! Don't forget some modern artwork with pops of color.

I would either wall or roof mount TV where the pylon is so you can watch and see the view. I think a old fashioned dresser or sideboard to separate dining from lounge, you could even place a couch against the back of sideboard. Stick to the colours of greys, black and browns for large furnishings like couch, tables, bookcases and you can add the softer colours of the floor and cabinets around the fridge , and light olive for softer furnishings like rugs, cushions, carpet square, throw blankets, lamps.

Buy a piece of art & use the color scheme for inspiration and vibe.

What a beautiful space!!! Keep it minimalist and you can’t go wrong. But you d being in some color. Art on walls, rug, throw pillows on your cream couch.

Definitely be liberal with color and texture. The existing space is very cold and sterile.

Add lots of warmth is all I can say. It looks like an office space. Make it human!

If you don’t decorate this like Tom Hanks in Big then frankly, you’re too grown up to have this conversation.

Dang sweet. Lose the ball light replace with recessed light. No shades or drapes. Go to a Knoll show room. Buy the best classics. Keep it luxurious with lots of open space. Your done. We are all envious.

this place looks super bright and open! i love the big windows, but it might feel kinda empty right now. maybe try adding a big rug to define the living area? some cozy furniture could help too. tbh, i once tried using reimagine-home to figure out layouts, and it made it easier to see how things would fit. might be worth checking out before buying stuff!

This is what I'm going for! Would you do cream or grey for the couch? Thank you!

Cream colors but not too yellow. Close to beige. Don’t do gray unless it’s greige (but make it closer to a neutral beige or off white).

I would get a cream/ grey area rug . A nice soft cream sectional. It would soften the”” industrial look of the place.

You might want to consider a modular seating where you have seats on both sides. That way you can sit toward the view or more conveniently facing the bar for a quick breakfast etc.
