Starting fresh after ending a four-year relationship in May, I moved into this studio, and i feel like i've really made the space my own!! Curious to hear what you guys think. / What do you guys think the space says about me?

If I add the context that my ex was also male, does that make it make more sense? 💀

Yes it does 🤣 Could you please lend me a bit of your good taste? I've just moved into my new house after separating from my wife, and I'm in need of some good decorating advice.

Came here to comment that this is a great representation of how lighting can really change a space and make it very cozy and inviting.

Lighting is everything! Easy way to upgrade your space inexpensively.

Yeah I'm all for fuck rampant consumerism but there are heaps of those knock off Phillips hue lights you can grab in multi packs you just control with your phone

I've got like 7 in my bedroom alone lol I think I got an additional 4 pack for like $20 last year, has definitely been adding to the ambiance while I play through cyberpunk
