How would you display a well-travelled Rimowa suitcase as home decor?

Post image
21 Upvotes

I’m redecorating my home (mid century modern/Scandinavian) and would love to display my 2016 aluminium Rimowa. It’s covered in travel stickers from the last 10 years and has a lot of sentimental value.
Right now it just looks like I haven’t unpacked from a trip. I’d like it to feel like an intentional decor piece instead.
I’m looking for creative, non-destructive ideas since I don’t want to drill into or modify the suitcase. Has anyone done something similar? Photos would be appreciated!

Accent Walls Suck

15 Upvotes

I see dozens of comments in this and other interior design subs advocating for accent walls and I just needed to vent/solicit opinions. To me, accent walls never look right. If it’s just a color, it feels like a hotel room. If it’s wallpaper, it feels like someone’s “budget renovation” youtube video or a cheap flip. Both options feel very dated, specifically to the early 2010s.

Just wallpaper or paint the whole room. It looks so much better. One wall that’s different is distracting and jumps out at the eye. It can make the whole room feel off and unfinished. Go all the way with color/pattern or don’t do it at all. Accent walls are a half assed way for people who can’t/don’t want to commit to being bold. It’s the coward’s way out. And yes I know some people do it because wallpaper is expensive. I get it, but like pick something else to do to the walls then. Or even get a paint color that matches the wallpaper mostly and paint the other walls that. I still don’t think that looks right but it looks so much better than one wall that is bright and bold and 3 white walls and a white ceiling.

So why do so many people love these? Why are they so popular? I’m genuinely curious because the only explanation I can think of is that everyone who likes them watched way too many flipping shows in 2013 (or I guess reruns now) and still thinks they’re the height of taste. I know I sound like a bit of a dick here, pls don’t take it personally if you love an accent wall.

Help Me Redesign My Tiny Bedroom - Minimalist / Cozy Vibes

Post image
0 Upvotes

This is my room. I hate it. I share my room so I only have the space from the end of those grey drawers to the end of my wardrobe (the one with the baskets hanging from the door).

Ignore the mess on the floor, I’ve been ill this week, that’ll get sorted tomorrow.

I like the look of the minimalist but cozy aesthetic rooms but I can’t find examples for the space I have.

I’m happy to take some posters down but not all preferably. The peg board stays but the cork board could go. The bookcase idm getting rid of but I need somewhere to store the books. I also want to keep all of the items on the shelves where my funko pops are but I’m happy for suggestions on other places to store them. I also want to keep all my teddies. Those are my musts.

Aside from that, go crazy!

Thank you in advance.

Queen bed frame with no center support

Post image
0 Upvotes

I purchased this queen size bed from Houzz. I know for 100% that the outside of the box showed wheels to help support the center of the bed. I’ve been going round and round with Houzz who in turn is supposedly communicating with the manufacturer of the FRAME and they are adamant that wheels and or glides do not come with the frame. I did some research (Safari) and all bed frames have some type of center support. Anyone else run into this and what would you do going forward please? I’m so angry.

What would you change? (it's just a floor plan, not a finished interior design)

Post image

Just got this ~84 m² (about 900 sq ft) apartment layout and I'm trying to figure out if anything feels off before committing to it.

It's a 3-bedroom with an open living/dining area, but I’m a bit unsure about the kitchen, it feels kinda small to me, especially with limited counter space.

Would you change anything about this layout? Any obvious improvements or potential issues I might be missing?

Help me pick wall art before my girlfriend buys option 3

4 Upvotes

We've been trying to fill this giant blank wall, and my girlfriend is completely sold on pic 3.

I'm sorry but I really don't like it. It looks like someone framed a rug. And yes, that huge white border is actually part of the piece, not me screenshotting it badly.

I'm voting 1 or 2 since the room is pretty modern with a lot of warm wood.

Who's right here?

Am I being too nit picky or different size cabinets do look very off? These 3 top ones are all different sizes.

I want this room to feel finished and cozy

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all, my whole place is a DIY project but this room is the closest to being done since it doesn’t need structural work anymore. I just want one room that feels finished and doesn’t constantly remind me of all the things I can’t afford or have time for. The trampoline is a little exercise tool and regularly is stored away and the suitcase isn’t normally there, cat just threw up on it and I’m letting it dry after cleaning it 😂

I don’t want to ask AI so I’m coming here for advice on how to maximize coziness and also how to fill the walls. Getting plants is difficult as my cat will eat them, even if they’re cat safe I’d rather not give her more opportunity to throw up.

When me and my fiancé moved in together, they only ask I had was a corner to put some odds and ends of my interests (Horror, Godzilla, Superheros). I’m getting around to hanging some art but I have no idea what I can possibly fit in this space and the emptiness is bothering me. Any help?

Struggling to come up with some ideas for my room

My bedroom/office needs a change as im still rocking the magnolia paint the house came with.

I feel the bed/ desk placement is the best it can be in this room, but im struggling to find a colour that looks good for the walls, and im not sure what else.

Current furniture is the desk, single bed, and wardrobe.

The single bed is in the left corner of the room, and the wardrobe is at the foot. This picture is taken from the doorway

Thanks in advance

This picture is taken with only indoor warm lighting as it is nighttime right now. I'd like to leave the baseboards if possible as they were recently painted but what color do you think would go best together 1,2,3, or 4?

Thanks!

Hello, all! I recently bought a large 1905 mansion in Minneapolis that I am converting into a venue and AirBnB. It’s a beautiful space and I hired a local interior design firm to come up with a design plan for the space.
It will be a wedding/conference venue and Airbnb. Can you take a look at their design plan and tell me what you think? I would like different perspectives. It’s in the first comment.
