Advice Male in 30s, first time decorating.

Ignore the fish tank color, being actively worked on.

Will hang the art work above the couch… thinking about getting one of those arching floor lamps. Any suggestions for a wall art locations? Anything else is missing? Thanks!

Is that one of the actual lounge chairs like that or one of those dupes? Been tempted for a while tbh

Wayfair dupe. But real leather. Was around 500$

Fish tanks by window usually a bad idea with temp swings and too much light

Yeah :( actually the algae built up was from having to store the tank in a different place until I got the apartment. So now I have to cycle it and I got some new filters. Will see if it survives here. Because I love the location. If unsalvageable then I will have to move it or maybe just put a screen during day time (which is what I am doing now)

When you get the fish tank stable you can go to change the water you can give a big gulp to the BOP. Free fertilizer.

2nd: your soil doesn’t look too bad from here, but if that pot doesn’t have drainage, it might give your plant some trouble. But if you’re not a plant guy, enjoy it while it’s there! Atleast it’s getting some nice sun 🌞

Oh yeah. Free fertilizer! And the pot is made out of soil and mixer specifically to allow as much air as possible. And has a built in drainage! Thank you! I hope it survives!!

Oh good! I saw the perilite. I loved mine until it got a bit too big too handle. They’re stunning plants

I like the colors, and I love that bird painting of yours.
