I know this might land wrong so let me explain what I mean. India has one of the richest craft and decorative traditions in the world — and I think that's actually made it harder for a lot of us to edit. The instinct is to add: more colour, more cushions, more art, more shelf décor. And the result is often beautiful individually but visually exhausting as a whole. I've been in a lot of homes where every single surface is decorated, every wall has something on it, and every shelf is full. These spaces feel like they're working very hard. The ones that feel most impressive — most genuinely luxurious — are often the ones that have made ruthless decisions about what NOT to include. A few principles I've started living by: Every room needs at least one truly empty wall If you can't explain why an object is in a room, it should probably leave One hero piece (a sofa, a chair, a lamp) does more than five "nice" pieces at the same price point Negative space is not emptiness — it's breathing room for the things that matter I think the Indian design aesthetic is genuinely evolving — there's a real appetite for quieter, more intentional spaces. Japandi influences, the trend toward natural materials, the growing interest in bespoke and handcrafted over mass-produced — all of these point toward a more considered approach. submitted by /u/the_flamingolife to r/IndianHomeDecor [link] [comments]

I (37F) am honestly still shaking while typing this. I am currently 6 months pregnant also, and my husband and i went away for a short weekend babymoon trip to relax. He gave a spare key to his younger sister just in case of an emergency with our pets while we were gone. Well, we got back on sunday night, and i walked into a completely different living room. My sister in law decided my colorful, cozy style was too tacky and took it upon herself to give us a surprise room makeover she saw on tikTok. She painted my living room walls a dull beige. She moved all my heavy furniture around and boxed up my decor. I was already exhausted from the trip and just being pregnant, and walking into this chaos made my blood boil. But the worst part? She actually threw away a vintage, handmade rug that belonged to my late mom. I was planning to use it in the babys nursery. She told me it was too faded and did not match her new modern aesthetic, so she just tossed it in the dumpster. By the time we got back, the trash had already been collected. I completely lost it. I literally started crying and yelling. I told her to get out of my house immediately. First thing monday morning, i paid a locksmith to change our front door locks. I also sent her a message demanding she pay for the cost to repaint the walls and the value of my moms rug, though honestly, i cant ever replace it. Now my husband is saying i am taking this way too far. He agrees she should not have done it, but he says her heart was in the right place and she just wanted to do something nice before the baby comes. My mother in law wont stop calling and texting me, saying im being a cruel, ungrateful brat, that im letting my pregnancy hormones make me crazy, and that i need to apologize and give them a new spare key. I refuse to apologize or give them a key. I feel completely violated. Its my safe space, i am trying to nest and prepare for a baby, and she ruined it and threw away my most prized possession. AITJ for reacting this way? TL;DR: My sister in law used an emergency key to get into my home while my husband and i were on a trip. I am 6 months pregnant. She painted my walls beige and threw away a priceless, sentimental rug from my late mom because she did not like my style. I changed the locks and demanded she pay for damages, and now my husband and his family say im overreacting due to my hormones. submitted by /u/Western_Mistake_1981 to r/AmITheJerk [link] [comments]

Pelipper wants a breezy decoration in his office-turned-home, so I had been searching for where I put the damn ceiling fan for three days. Guess what I found, when I was taking a clip of my cozy little home in the Withering Wastelands for my fiancée?

My girlfriend and I are 1 year into our new home. We spent almost a year, with the help of many kind trades ppl, renovating this home.. often times all the way down to the studs (bathroom and kitchen). We have worked to decorate the space while trying to be mindful of letting the home speak to us as we develop our interior design styles. We are hoping to hear your advice on things that can elevate the aesthetic, create a cozy home feeling, and make the space more functional. Please share any criticism or advice as you wish! submitted by /u/Legal_Caterpillar153 to r/interiordecorating [link] [comments]

After the end of quite a controlling marriage and my kids flying the best, I finally realised that I can decorate my home anyway I like 😃, so this year that’s what I’ve been doing, thought I’d share. I’ve never been one for one theme throughout my home, more of like each room being it’s own thing. I love pink and pastels but then I’m also a witch, so love that aesthetic too. submitted by /u/Serious-Article5882 to r/femalelivingspace [link] [comments]

So I took a job earlier this year out of state, but the wife and I wanted to let the kids finish out their schooling at home. It sucks living away from my family, so I try to at least make it comfortable. I'm a big fan of Cassette Futurism as an aesthetic, so there are themes of that guiding the decor and aesthetic of the apartment. I've included a lot of photos, mostly because I really like the way things have turned out. But also because there are guys out there wondering how to start with their decor, or what to focus on when creating a comfortable space that reflects their personalities. I've included some closeups and detail shots more to give an example of what I've aim at. I like to focus on details, and use them to create the larger feel. The key is maintaining a thread of cohesion so that it doesn't feel like a mish-mash of items, colors, or furniture haphazardly thrown together. It also doesn't have to be perfect. It can be ever evolving. Just pick a starting point and a goal and go from there. submitted by /u/r_d_skunk_works to r/malelivingspace [link] [comments]

This is a repost. The original was posted in r/dustythunder by user Ok-Cloud-4742. I'm not the original poster. Status: Ongoing Original December 2, 2025 I just need to vent because I'm losing my mind over this absolute nonsense. My husband and I bought our house two years ago. It's in a neighborhood with an HOA, which we knew going into it, but the rules seemed reasonable at the time. Basic stuff about lawn maintenance and not parking RVs in the driveway. This year I decided to go all out for Christmas. I love Christmas. I put up lights on the house, some yard decorations, a big inflatable snowman, the works. Nothing crazy. I've seen way more elaborate displays. But it looks nice and festive and it makes me happy. Two days after I finished decorating, I got a letter from the HOA. Apparently my Christmas display violates the "seasonal decoration guidelines." Guidelines I didn't even know existed because they're not in the main HOA rules. They're in some supplementary document that was never given to us when we bought the house. The letter says: I can only have white or clear lights (mine are multicolored) Inflatables are not permitted Decorations cannot extend more than 3 feet from the house The display can only be up from December 1st to January 5th (I put mine up the week before Thanksgiving) I have 48 hours to remove the "non-compliant" decorations or I'll be fined $100 per day. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS PER DAY. I called the HOA management company and the woman I spoke to was so condescending. She said "These rules apply to everyone to maintain neighborhood aesthetics." I said I never received these rules and she said "Ignorance of the rules doesn't excuse violation of them." I asked to see the rule document and she emailed me a 47-page PDF of "supplementary guidelines" that include insane things like: Wreaths can only be green or gold No lawn ornaments visible from the street between January 6th and November 30th Holiday decorations must be "tasteful and understated" My decorations are tasteful! They're normal Christmas decorations that thousands of people have! My next-door neighbor has almost the exact same setup as me. I asked if they got a letter. They said no. So apparently the HOA is selectively enforcing this. My husband wants me to just take down the decorations to avoid the fines. But I'm so angry about this. It's Christmas. I want to have Christmas lights. This is my house that I paid for with my own money. I looked up who's on the HOA board. It's run by this woman Diane who lives three streets over. I've never even met her but apparently she has nothing better to do than patrol the neighborhood looking for Christmas decoration violations. I tried to fight it. I sent an email saying I never received these supplementary guidelines and that the rule seems overly restrictive. The response was basically "Rules are rules. Remove the decorations or face daily fines starting December 1st." So now I have to decide if I want to keep my Christmas decorations up and potentially owe thousands of dollars in fines, or take them down and let the HOA win. My mom thinks I should just comply and avoid the stress. My best friend thinks I should leave the decorations up and fight it because the HOA is being ridiculous. My husband is stressed because he thinks if we don't comply they'll put a lien on our house or something. I'm just so tired of this. I can't even enjoy Christmas in my own home because some woman on a power trip has decided my lights are too colorful. Comments by OOP: [that HOA can and will absolutely put a lien on the house] That's what my husband keeps saying, he's terrified they'll actually go through with the lien thing. I hate the idea of moving again but honestly after this I don't know if I can deal with living under Diane's dictatorship for the next 30 years. Honestly at this point joining the board just to vote Diane out is tempting. I wonder how many other people in the neighborhood are sick of her nonsense too. Comply for now but fight. Read every document pertaining to your HOA to see what the rules are about adopting supplementary guidelines, then check the history to make sure everything was done correctly. That is, make sure these guidelines are legally binding on you. Also make sure these HOA is keeping up with everything else it is supposed to do. Document the selectively enforcement too. If you think you have something, hire a lawyer to write them a letter about how they are wrong. If you don’t have anything, you can still rally the neighbors for a rules change or to support you running for the board yourself. [nolaz] This is really good advice, thank you. I'm going to dig through all the paperwork we got at closing and see if these supplementary rules were even mentioned. The selective enforcement thing really gets me because my neighbor has the exact same setup and they got nothing. [OOP] Update December 6, 2025, 3 days later I honestly don't know if I'm looking for advice or just need to scream into the void at this point but here we are. It's been three days since I posted. Things have gotten so much worse. So after I posted, the comments were pretty split. Half of you said take the decorations down and pick my battles. The other half said fight it because the HOA is being ridiculous. I was leaning toward fighting it. My husband was not. We've been arguing about this nonstop for three days. He wants the decorations down. I kept saying no, it's the principle of it. He said principles don't pay the mortgage when they put a lien on our house. I genuinely didn't think they'd follow through on the daily fines. I thought it was a scare tactic. It's not a scare tactic. Yesterday I checked our mailbox and there was a letter from the HOA. An invoice. For $500. Five days of fines. December 1st through December 5th. $100 per day. I stared at it for like ten minutes. My husband came home from work and I showed him. He didn't say anything at first. Just looked at the paper. Then he said "So what are we doing?" I said I don't know. He said we need to decide because every day we wait is another $100. We got into the worst fight we've had in our entire relationship. He said I'm being irrational and stubborn. That I'm going to cost us thousands of dollars over Christmas lights. I said the HOA is bullying us and if we give in now they'll know they can push us around forever. He said "This isn't about bullying, this is about money we don't have. We can't afford this." I knew he was right but I was too angry to admit it. I said I'd go to the board meeting next week and fight to get the fines waived. He said the board meeting isn't until the 10th and by then we'll owe $1,000. That's when it really hit me. We're already at $500. Four more days until the meeting means $900 total. And what if I go to the meeting and they don't waive anything? What if they just tell me to pay up? I didn't sleep last night. I kept running the numbers. $100/day adds up so fast. And I kept thinking about what happens if we don't pay. Can they really put a lien on our house? I googled it at 2am. Yes. They absolutely can. This morning I woke up and my husband was already gone for work. There was a note on the kitchen counter. "I'm taking the decorations down tonight when I get home. I'm sorry. I can't watch us lose everything over this. I love you." I lost it. I called him sobbing. Begged him not to touch my decorations. He said someone has to be the adult here and make the hard choice. I said it's my house too, he can't just make this decision without me. He said "Then YOU take them down. Because I'm not letting us get to $1,000 in fines." I hung up on him. Sat in the kitchen crying. Looking out the window at my Christmas lights. They look so pretty in the daytime even when they're not on. The inflatable snowman looks happy. And I'm going to have to take it all down because I can't afford to keep being stubborn. But then this morning I made a huge mistake. I went on our neighborhood Facebook group. There was a post from two days ago that I somehow missed. From Diane, the HOA president. A "friendly reminder" about holiday decoration guidelines. With a photo attached. Of my fucking house. She posted a picture of MY decorations as an example of what violates the rules. My house. My decorations. For everyone in the neighborhood to see. The comments were brutal. People calling my decorations tacky and gaudy. Someone said I'm "the reason HOAs exist." Another person said I'm bringing down everyone's property values. One comment said "Thank god the board is handling this." I'm being publicly shamed on Facebook by my own neighbors. People I've never even met are trashing my house online. I screenshotted it and sent it to my husband. He called me immediately. He was furious. Not at the HOA - at me. He said "Why are you looking at that? You're just making yourself more upset. This is exactly why we need to end this NOW." I said did you see what they're saying about us? He said "I don't care what they're saying. I care that we owe $500 and counting." He got home from work an hour ago. Didn't say a word to me. Just went straight outside and started taking down the decorations. I'm watching him from the living room window right now as I type this. He's been out there for 45 minutes. It's cold. His hands are probably freezing. The snowman is deflated in a sad pile on the grass. He's pulling down the light strands one by one. Our house is going to look so bare. I should go help him. I know I should. But I can't make myself move. I just keep crying. I feel like I failed. Like I let the HOA win. But more than that I feel like I've damaged my marriage over something so stupid. My husband is right. He's been right this whole time. I was too proud and stubborn to admit it and now we owe $500 (probably $600 by tomorrow) and he's out in the cold cleaning up my mess. Every other house on our street gets to have their white lights and their "tasteful" decorations. Our house is going to look like we hate Christmas. I don't even want to celebrate anymore. The whole thing is ruined. I still have to go to that board meeting on the 10th and beg them to reduce the fines. But I'm not hopeful. I've already proven I won't follow their rules. Why would they help me? I fucking hate this. I'm not the original poster submitted by /u/Schattenspringer to r/BORUpdates [link] [comments]

for context: grew up southern baptist. i now live across the country from my parents. i’ve always had an up/down relationship with my parents, mainly with my mom and my dad just following however she’s feeling. she hates that i have an “alt” / “goth” aesthetic and never ceases to let me know she hates it. i am not satanic or anything. i still believe in a god however i simply love the look of skulls bats ghosts etc. my house is very goth esc with no satanic stuff. it’s all tasteful and i actively get compliments from EVERYONE that comes into my place. just as much as it is goth i have a bunch of lavender in my house. it makes me happy. my mom always says how i dont share things about my life with her but here’s how the convo went when i tried to do that…. aita for not budging how decorate my tree?? it’s literally black ornaments, black garland, and i have cute ghost & bat ornaments. none of it is like “creepy” in fact one of the ornaments is a saw/billy the puppet ornament that my mom gave me. lol. me: i have a tree! picture of undecorated lavender tree mother: Yay!!! I love it! me: it’s so cute! haha mother: It's very pretty as long as you don't put Halloween crap all over it. That would be very anti Christmas me: lol i am but that’s okay. i know you don’t like it but i like it and that’s all that matters. mother: I'm not celebrating Christmas with a Halloween tree. Time you learn that its not all about you! Your grandmother would have a heart attack if she knew how far away from God you have fallen. me: then i guess we’re not celebrating christmas when yall come to visit . i don’t tell you what to put on your tree in your house. oh it’s not like that. don’t even try to do all that i literally went to church w (friends) last weekend. but go off lol mother: Actually I'm not even wanting to come stay with you the way you act. I like it so it's all thar matters. me: i mean it’s my house. i don’t ever tell you to put up or take decorations down in your house so don’t do that with me. if you guys don’t want to stay with me that’s fine. just let me know. obviously you’re more than welcome to stay with me. but if you’re just going to talk negatively about things in my place then that doesn’t really sound fun for anyone either now does it. mother: Not really feeling it. It doesn't sound good staying with you. Because you don't think of anyone but yourself. me: right Decorating my own Christmas tree and home the way I like isn’t me being selfish — it’s just me enjoying my space and making my house my home. This is the first year I’ve ever gotten to decorate a tree exactly how I want, and I’m excited about it. Do not bring grandmother into this to make me feel guilty. You’ve made it more than clear you don’t like my style, and that’s okay. Black ornaments and cute ghost ornaments aren’t “anti-Christmas” — they make me happy and they’re literally the same ornaments i’ve used two years in a row. If you want to bring your own ornaments to add when you visit, you’re absolutely welcome to. These are simply the ones I have right now and like. I don’t think it’s fair to call me selfish or make it a religious issue over how I decorate my own tree. You’re welcome to stay with me, truly, but not if it means I have to change my personality or my space to avoid criticism or judgment from you. If you’d prefer to stay somewhere else, that’s your choice, i’ll respect it, and I won’t keep arguing it. mother: Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your friends and tree. me: you too ! EDIT: here’s my tree! christmas tree submitted by /u/zephyrsola to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Something that’s been bothering/confusing me is how cookie cutter generic all their homes are. Everything is beige and white, there is hardly anything on the walls except for the occasional Jesus painting, no family photos or trinkets or kids artwork anywhere, no clutter from everyday life, a few fake plants sprinkled around but that’s really it. They look like model homes that aren’t lived in. Do none of them have any personal style/design taste? Do they film in their actual homes or are these sets? Or is this white, barebones look just the Mormon aesthetic? submitted by /u/minionbelcher to r/SecretsOfMormonWives [link] [comments]

https://newrepublic.com/post/198679/donald-trump-turning-white-house-mar-a-lago Donald Trump is finally getting his wish to turn the White House into the gaudy resort he calls home by adding a $200 million ballroom. The White House announced that it would begin construction in September on a 90,000 square foot ballroom that can seat 650 people. Yes, Trump is laser focused on the issues that matter most to Americans: Replacing the “large and unsightly” tent that typically hosts guests just 100 yards away from the building. During a press conference Thursday afternoon, Trump confirmed that he wouldn’t spend any taxpayer dollars on the $200 million project. “It’s a private thing yeah, and we’ll probably have some donors,” he said. “They’ve wanted a ballroom at the White House for more than 150 years, but there’s never been a president that’s good at ballrooms,” he added. Trump said the expansion would not “interfere” with the White House. “It’ll be near it but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building,” Trump’s mission to add a gaudy event hall to the White House didn’t come out of nowhere—he claims that he’s pitched it to the last two presidents. During a press conference in February, Trump said he’d asked Joe Biden about building a ballroom in the White House, offering to have it built himself. “I was going to build a beautiful, beautiful ballroom like I’ve done before,” Trump said. “It would cost $100 million. I told them again and again. They didn’t know what to do. They had no idea.” He made a similar claim on the presidential campaign trail in 2016, telling his supporters that he’d offered to have a ballroom built for the Obamas. Trump has already begun a massive decor overhaul at the White House, gilding the Oval Office with gaudy gold detailing and ornate crown molding, plastering a golden Trump crest above the door, and shipping in golden cherub statues straight from Mar-a-Lago, according to The Daily Beast. It’s clear that Trump much prefers the luxury aesthetics of his resort home, and with the dismal report card he’s received in office so far, the president should feel free to pack his bags any time. submitted by /u/ControlCAD to r/BoomersBeingFools [link] [comments]

Where the fuck is everyone's stuff? Do people not have STUFF?? A desk with just a computer, mouse, and keyboard. Maybe a pencil cup. A bookshelf with books and neatly placed curios, but only, like, 5 of them. A coffee table with one book on it. A a credenza with a bowl and vase. I'm losing my mind. I don't know if this is related to ADHD, I'm assuming it is, but I feel like I am surrounded by so much stuff when I look at those photos. And I'm not even someone who buys a lot or hoards, I love to throw things away. But, like, every shelf I have is full of little things. My walls are covered in things. My desk is covered in craft tools. Theres a stuffed animal perched on top of my actual TV. I have so many unnecessary lamps. When I think of my friends who also have ADHD, their living spaces are similar. All surfaces covered with little things. Not necessarily messy, in fact some of them are quite clean, their knickknacks and doodads are expertly placed. I look at these clean and aesthetic photos and it seems so nice; I feel suffocated by my things sometimes. My space can get messy very quickly because there's so many possible things for me to move around at any given time. But, I've tried to purge my space of unnecessary items many times now. I'm at the point where the things I have are things that have made it through 5,6,7 purges and I no longer have much I want to get rid of. But it still feels like so much stuff compared to other peoples houses. I don't understand how people don't have the drive to acquire and collect things and fill their space with items they love. To make it so that everywhere you look there's something interesting and thought provoking. Do any of you also feel this way? Like you don't understand these pictures? But, also, like you both want to emulate them and also hate the idea of it at the same time? It's like I want a calm space but I cringe at the thought of not having my little things. Edit: I want to add that I'm not trying to trash on all of minimalism. I've seen a lot of minimalist set ups that are actually quite fun and colorful. It's very possible to have few items, but the items you do have are whimsical and unique. I just don't think it's enough items in general! submitted by /u/putridtooth to r/adhdwomen [link] [comments]

I (31F) am at my wit's end with my husband's (32M) coworker Sarah (30F), and his complete inability to see what's happening. I'm not usually one for reddit, but I need to know if I'm going crazy here. Where do I even start? Three years ago, my husband Mark started working with Sarah. At first, I tried to be welcoming. I invited her to our BBQs, included her in group outings, and genuinely tried to be friendly. Big mistake. She spent the entire time making backhanded comments about everything from my career ("Oh, you're just a yoga instructor? How... peaceful.") to my cooking ("I guess not everyone can master basic seasoning."). The real problem is that Mark thinks she's "just being funny." Last month, she literally threw away the anniversary mug I gave him because it "clashed with the office aesthetic." When I got upset, Mark said I was being too sensitive and that "Sarah just has high standards for office decor." IT WAS A MUG WITH OUR WEDDING PHOTO ON IT. Some greatest hits from Sarah: - She scheduled a "mandatory" work dinner on our anniversary - She convinced Mark not to take a promotion because it would mean working with a different team - She posts daily photos of them together with hashtags like #WorkPowerCouple and #WorkSpouse - She tells everyone at their office that she "takes better care of him than I do" - She changed his coffee order and now tells everyone she "trained him right" The worst part? My husband is completely blind to all of this. Yesterday, he actually told me about how Sarah said our new house (which we spent months searching for) was "charming, in a starter home kind of way." He repeated this while LAUGHING. I tried talking to him about it, but Sarah has convinced him I'm "just insecure." She's managed to insert herself into every aspect of our lives. They text constantly - even on weekends. She knows his schedule better than I do. She rearranged his entire desk and office wardrobe because his style was "too suburban husband." THAT'S WHAT HE IS! Last week, I suggested marriage counseling. He looked genuinely confused. He of course went and talked to Sarah about it I found out from another coworker that she's been telling people that Mark and I are "going through a rough patch" and that she's "just being a good friend by giving him someone to talk to." We weren't going through anything until she started this nonsense! The breaking point? I stopped by his office to surprise him with lunch (I know, I know, but it was his birthday and Sarah was supposedly out sick). Guess who was there? Sarah. She'd "miraculously recovered" and bought him a cake that said "To my work hubby" with a photo of them from the office holiday party. She saw me and said, "Oh, Amy! You came too... how nice. Mark, you didn't tell me your real wife was coming!" I'm not crazy, right? This woman is trying to destroy my marriage while my husband stands there grinning like it's all some big joke. What do I do? Divorce seems extreme, but I'm running out of options here. TL;DR: My husband's "work wife" is actively trying to sabotage our marriage while he remains completely oblivious to her obvious manipulation. ETA: I should have stated that the promotion wasn't one that would increase his salary but his title. It would give him more leadership experience. It still blows my mind that he turned it down just so he could stay on the same team as her. ETA: I should have told the mug story in its entirety. She "accidentally" broke the mug. I noticed it was gone when I was visiting him one day and I asked him about it. He said she accidentally knocked it over and then later he repeated a "joke"she made about how it didn't fit the office aesthetic. submitted by /u/Honeybellmama to r/TrueOffMyChest [link] [comments]

Decided to pretty up my home office for the holidays and put up some pink decorations! However, I’m struggling with the gallery wall and the loveseat. The loveseat will be centered under the shelf once I take down the tree but it just doesn’t feel right to me anyway! The loveseat is a cheap find ($100 on mega clearance at my local Big Lots, which is closing down!) The cover is practical as well as aesthetic- I have three dogs- but do yall think I should change the color? Stuck on how to make that one wall look better overall! submitted by /u/cmc to r/femalelivingspace [link] [comments]

I've been hanging around on home decoration subs a lot lately because I'm moving. (Get it?! Need to decide things for the new place, so instead of deciding, why not "research" by scrolling multiple home decoration subs for hours daily!) Here's what I realized: Everytime someone posts a pic of a clean aesthetic, they get shat on for not having personality; and everytime someone asks for advice on making their room more appealing, the suggestions are the same: more colour, more fabrics, add plants, add art. White walls are completely unpopular, people will always advise to paint at least one wall a different colour (usually all of the walls though). I cannot relate at all and I know it's because of my ADHD. I rarely see anyone agreeing with me, and if they do, they're ND. 😆 I need white walls, and I prefer a clean aesthetic. My home has so much grey stuff I'd get roasted to death on reddit. And I don't have a lot of fabrics because they're difficult to keep clean. Whenever I see an interesting or "maximalist" room, I think I love looking at it, would like to visit, but need to go home to a more neutral space eventually. It's like visiting a theme park or a museum, sure I enjoy it, but actually living in it would be too overstimulating. And difficult to maintain. I have nothing against "personality" at all. I just think the basics of a room (furniture, walls) should be neutral because you'll end up adding your own stuff anyway! It's unavoidable to have your stuff lying around, put items in your shelfs that won't match colours, and look cluttered sooner than you realize. And don't get me started on lighting. This seems to be a topic in itself, apparently we (ND) have preferences that others can't relate to? Which makes it difficult for me to decide. submitted by /u/Inevitable-While-577 to r/adhdwomen [link] [comments]

This one is pretty simple. Personally, I’ve always liked the design of modern house but it always bothered me how boring a lot of people who have them decorate their spaces. These people for some reason want a monochrome grayscale color scheme but it doesn’t have to be that way. I’ve seen a good amount of modern houses that actually have character and they do that by adding more colorful plants, more creative furniture, and make the space feel lived in while keeping the modern aesthetic. Another thing I’ve seen is how many company’s have turned their stores into monochrome boxes and completely throw away the original design intentions which is very irritating. Especially for someone who would like these designs. One example of this is how McDonald’s used to look versus now. I’m my area at least, they have went from a red and yellow pallet to yellow, brown, and grays which makes it way less fun and removes a lot of character from the restaurant. All of this is because of excess minimalism. I really enjoy the look of minimalism but it needs to have a function. Removing color from designs is not making it easier on the eyes or cleaner. It instead makes the design look like a cleaned out department store More about interior design, I especially hate when modern homes use way too much white. Not only strip the color but also the contrast and it looks terrible. My house, for example has a more modern feel to it but my family decided to have a whole lot of purple. It’s a bold and different color and tells anybody that enters a lot about our family. In conclusion, it is very much possible to have a modern house without it looking boring, but the people who have them aren’t decorating them right submitted by /u/TheMy_World to r/unpopularopinion [link] [comments]

My (42f) and my ex (47m) divorced 1 year ago. Shortly thereafter, his girlfriend (aka affair partner) moved into the home we previously shared. I told him to keep whatever because I went to live abroad and basically just wanted out. I wasn’t even mad at him for cheating. It was a dead marriage and his affair being exposed became the catalyst for our divorce. So we got divorced and she moved in. We hadn’t talked after because there was nothing left to discuss post divorce. Then a week ago I get a message from her. It was really upbeat and “oh I like the style of the house so much. Where did you get this fixture and this pieces of furniture”. I sat with it for a day and finally decided to message her that since she had it all figured out, she could figure it out. She asked what I meant and I told her she obviously had everything my ex could ever want and I was the one he didn’t want, so she shouldn’t try to imitate me. He clearly had a taste for something different. She messaged me back saying she way trying to pay me a compliment. Then my ex text me saying we were amicable before and he didn’t understand why I was causing an issue now. He’s right that we were both over our marriage, but I felt like her trying to take over where I left off aesthetically was too much. My friends and family are divided. AITAH? EDIT: Thanks so much for the responses and kind words! Gave me the clarity I needed and some thoughts about the situation that hadn’t occurred to me. Went ahead and blocked them both. May they live long and lucky in their tastefully decorated home! I’m still reading through responses, so if I need to update or clarify, I will later on. Thanks y’all! submitted by /u/Anon_Yes2222 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

Hi, I’m a writer and mom of three older kids, two of whom are still at home. I’m in my mid-fifties, joyfully married and currently (somewhat randomly) living in the Chicago suburbs. This is my first time enjoying homeownership 🥂 My collection of old stuff has grown over many decades, since I first moved away from home in the late 1980s. I don’t need to buy much of anything for my house anymore (as you can clearly see ha ha), but when I did, it came from any number of sources, including thrift, curbs, generous friends/neighbors/family/strangers, estate sales, flea markets, Craigslist… We enjoy modern conveniences and amenities but just love the aesthetic. Our appliances all function perfectly, the house is fully operational for our busy family, and (bonus!) we’re able to lease out the space for a few hours here and there to folks needing set locations for films, etc. I know it’s not everyone’s taste but that’s the definition of taste, right? Our homes should make our own hearts happy, that’s it. No rules beyond healthy happy and heart-pleasing. Crazy added fact? I have four or five dollhouses decorated similarly! (I’m writing a book about nostalgia-in-miniature) submitted by /u/Global-Bus-8826 to r/HomeDecorating [link] [comments]

Edit: Yes, I tried to apologize. This is also not about if I should apologize or not. Even if I was 100 percent in the right, I would still apologize for hurting her. We don't bully my sister. The only time we make a comment is regarding her son. Like when family and friends gift him something colorfull and she throws it away on donates it. The sad beige baby is not an inside joke about her. It's an inside joke of a tiktok account. BTW, I was informed that Warner Herzog is not a designer. Lol. I had just taken that for granted. Yes, I also call my children sad beige children. Like when they say they want a new toy or something, me or my husband go like " a sad beige toy for a sad beige child" We also call them feral trash baby, stinky man, poopy gremlin, and more. They call us stinky goblin man and gobbo. Also it's my sister not my sister on law. Xxxxxxxxxxx I have two kids (a 2-year-old and a 6-year-old girl), and my sister has a son who is 1.5 years old. She's a mommy blogger and embraces the "white, beige" aesthetic. This preference reflects in every room of her apartment, including seasonal decorations, and she's quite intense about it. I've never said anything to her about it as it brings her joy. Some months ago, I stumbled upon a TikTok channel where a woman adopts a fake German accent to "review" fashion for what she calls "sad beige babies." I think it is really funny. It has become an I side joke at our home. During our recent visit to her apartment with my parents and husband, my nephew was seated on my lap. We were playing. I was wobbling him on my lap and pretended to "eat" his little arms. As I was talking gibberish, I unintentionally slipped into the "sad beige baby" persona. I genuinely didn't anticipate it becoming an issue. However, when I mentioned "sad beige baby," my sister became furious. She expressed frustration, stating she's tired of people critiquing her decorating preferences. When my brother tried to explain that it was meant as a joke and that she is "too anal" about her anesthetic, she angrily spilled her red wine on the white tablecloth, exclaiming, "Are you happy now?" She then asked us to leave and has since inundated me with direct messages on Instagram, sending me numerous mommy accounts sharing the same aesthetic. My mother believes I should apologize for my unintentionally rude comment. I'm utterly taken aback because, in truth, it wasn't even directed at my sister. My nephew happened to be wearing a beige sweater and made an exaggerated sad face, which prompted laughter, thus me calling him a "sad beige baby" submitted by /u/Designer_Detail_865 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I am NOT the Original Poster. That is u/NoMaybe3163. She posted in r/AmItheAsshole. Mood Spoiler: tentative happy ending Original Post: October 21, 2023 I (36F) live with my husband (41M). I have a decent relationship with my MIL, compared to a lot of the horror stories I hear from friends, she’s quite sweet and warm. She is, however, a little… over-controlling? Overprotective? I’m not sure of the exact word, but she has very strong ideas about things and no sense of boundaries. For example, when she stays at our house she takes over the kitchen completely and insists on cooking all our meals. She cooks wonderfully, but she won’t let me help her at all, and puts everything away in the wrong places - and then insists that her way is more logical. She only really comes for holidays, though, and I do like her a lot. So I don’t mind putting up with these mild annoyances. I’m currently pregnant with our little girl, who will be born in a few months. This is a miracle - I really didn’t think it would happen, especially so late, but we got lucky. When my MIL heard, she was super excited and said she would come over to help us get ready for the baby. She offered to stay for the next 6 months or so to help out, because my husband and I both work long hours and it will be hard to handle the baby on top of this. She is also pretty emotionally invested in this, because she truly sees herself as part of our family. She arrived a few days ago and set herself up, then she started with the cleaning. I like collecting things from garage sales and such. Things like little sculptures and books and baskets, stuff a lot of people would consider utter junk. Our house is definitely overstuffed, but it’s reasonably tidy and doesn’t seem like a hoarder’s house or anything. My MIL, on the other hand, likes everything surgically clean. Yesterday I came home from work to find the house like a war zone, she went through my cabinets and cleared out everything she considered junk, and had apparently made several trips to goodwill before I got home. I was really angry and I asked her why she would ever do this. She said the house has to be tidy for the baby, and that it would be “dangerous” for the baby to be in my cluttered house. Then she took the next huge bag of stuff and tried to walk out the door. I kind of lost it, and I told her she could get out right now. She was shocked that I was serious, and she said she doesn’t have anywhere to go and it’s so late. It was about 9:30. I booked her a hotel room and called a taxi. My husband came home an hour later, and when I told him what happened, he was furious with me. He says I disrespected his mom and was ungrateful for everything she’s trying to do for us. AITA? Relevant Comments: She definitely overstepped, but she may have been trying to help if your house is super cluttered "It’s not cluttered. I don’t just have piles of stuff lying around, everything is in cabinets and arranged in a visually pleasing way. It’s sort of a “cluttered aesthetic”, but I’ve had guests over and everyone thinks it’s pretty cool." Due date: "Baby is due in 2 months. She said she’d stay for a bit after the baby was born." As to if OOP is a hoarder: Okay. I’m just going to give y’all a list of all my “junk” and you can decide if I’m a hoarder. a walk in closet with a lot of thrifted clothes, some that I altered myself 4 quilts in said walk in closet an antique wood desk with a typewriter (that is admittedly just taking up space, but it is gorgeous) a LOT of wall art (none of it matches, which my MIL hates. But it’s all hung properly and intentionally.) two shelves of fancy china in the dining room, which I’m never going to use, but again, it’s displayed purposefully a coin collection, in ziplock bags in my closet two “ugly” end tables several rugs from garage sales (that are in use, not just rolled up in a corner) two bookcases of books (you can never have too many books) and fine, books lying around on the coffee table, kitchen table, and couch a few shelves in said bookcases with family memorabilia and such houseplants a lot of throw pillows that also don’t match at all a tree sculpture with Christmas ornaments and pictures hung on it lamps on every table a geode collection a spice rack with a lot of little spice bottles too many dishes (it fits in two kitchen cabinets though) normal house things What she gave away - a bag or two of my clothes that supposedly aren’t practical a box of books a bunch of paintings some pillows dishes a whole drawer of my rocks OOP is voted NTA Update Post: October 25, 2023 (4 days later) Thank you to everyone to replied to my post. Appreciate the advice and wishes for the baby. So I talked to my husband after we both cooled down a bit, and I told him I felt let down that he didn’t support me. He said it was just stuff, and he didn’t think I cared that much. I also asked him if he asked his mom to “declutter”, and if he has a problem with my things. He said no, he literally has zero opinion about my decor or collections. I believe him, because this is the guy who doesn’t know the difference between blue and purple… So he said that’s why he thought I overreacted, because in his mind it’s just stuff and not nearly as important as a person who’s feelings can be hurt. I said that my things matter to me because I’ve put effort into collecting/fixing them and that some hold memories too. He said he understands and he apologized. We went and brought my MIL home from the hotel in the morning, and I said I was sorry for losing my temper, and asked her if we could talk. She was still upset but agreed. I told her I should have said this a long time ago, but I don’t like it when she takes over and doesn’t treat my home like it’s mine. She seemed offended but she said okay. I told her I would be really grateful if she helps with the baby and I want her in my child’s life, but she has to work with me and not just do everything herself. She said but you work, and I said that I know it’s not what she did when she had a child, but I want to make this work - and I think I can have a job and also be in charge of my home. She was definitely annoyed but she agreed to everything and didn’t argue. So I think it will work out okay. I unfortunately couldn’t get my stuff back though… but I have plenty more rocks hidden away. submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

I know it seems like a dumb thing to end my marriage over. But after dealing with this for so long I’m finally done. My wife and I are both in our 30s. We have a daughter. My wife has always been pretty into appearances but it was never that bad. She just wanted things to look nice when people came over. Then she started a Instagram page for moms and got a massive amount of followers, about 400 thousand since our daughter was born. Ever since then I feel like I don’t live in a house I live in an Instagram photo shoot. There can’t be any proof we actually live here. My wife stresses so much about things looking good that she doesn’t actually enjoy the moment. She started a fight with me right after our daughter took her first steps because I had put my drink down on the table behind her and it’s “all she could see” and how she’d need to edit it out of the video. She called me a selfish prick for putting my drink down on a coffee table to watch my daughter take her first steps. Our daughters bedroom is just a mass of beige and cream, there’s barely any toys in it which was fine while our daughter was small but now she’s getting older. My wife refuses to buy her any toys that don’t match her “aesthetic” My mother took my daughter to the store and let her pick out a toy, she picked out this doll house from this show she watches, she got all of the dolls and furniture, and my wife told her she had to keep it at my mothers house because there was “no place for it at home” (she absolutely had room for it). My wife is convinced I’m leaving for another woman, I’m having an affair, etc, but I’m not. I just can’t keep feeling like I live in a museum where I can’t touch or move anything, I can’t even build a blanket fort with my kid without my wife flipping out that they’re “decorative blankets” that she had folded a special way. I’m not going to force my daughter to live in an “aesthetic”. Editing in, i’ve tried to encourage her to seek professional help, she insists this isn’t a problem and she doesn’t need any therapy. submitted by /u/killicicle to r/TrueOffMyChest [link] [comments]

Many people enthusiastically bring home a pretty houseplant for the first time, and proceed to water it every day to keep it happy. While understandable, you're setting yourself for heartbreak and frustration. It is natural to assume that the one thing we know we have to do to plants should be done often, and the more often the better, but root rot is usually not fixable and will slowly kill your lovely plant. Underwatering, on the other hand, can be fixed very easily. As a rule of a thumb, once a week is perfect for most plants. Missing the outdoors and ending up with about 60 houseplants through a year of lockdown, I have learned that majority of them prefer to be left to their own devices. Here is a rather conclusive guide working for vast majority of widely available plants: give them a sunny spot. Seems obvious, but we might be tempted to place them for aesthetics out of sun. There are plants that don't mind (ferns are the best example), but most do. Give them sun or grow light. Remember that more sun makes them dry up more often (so on a sunny window sill, water once every 5 days, in a shadowy corner, once every week) once every 2 weeks, take a soft cloth, slightly wet, and clean the leaves. Dust sets on them as well, and it makes it harder for them to undertake photosynthesis properly. It is also a rather soothing activity. Everyone wins. get a plant food. They are usually cheap and you can also make your own, and they can make your plant grow like crazy. Don't overfertilise tho - about once every 3 months enough. Too much fertiliser is a thing, and it can burn them. Don't fertilise in the winter. ⚠️ on the topic of eating, many houseplants are toxic to pets if ingested. If you have pets, particularly playful ones, make sure to research ahead to avoid trouble! Don't rush to repot. I know you want to put them in these cute pots you got, but keep them in nursery pots for at least a month. Many plants experience environmental change shock between you taking them from the store and bringing them home, so don't make it harder for them, they will thank you with many happy years in those sweet pots of yours. speaking of pots, always have drainage. Try not to put plants straight into a decorative pot without drainage - get a bigger planter and put it in with nursery pot and tray. chop of leaves that go yellow - they won't go green again, and the plant is wasting resources on it. if cactuses or succulents, you still have to water them, albeit rarely. Many people recommend cactuses as the most beginner houseplants, but you can absolutely kill both cactuses and succulents, and not only as a beginner (I'll be the first one to admit I've killed a few). But even if they do not die on you, they will not look as lush as when bought in few months unless quite a lot of care is given. If you really want an unkillable plant, get a pothos or peace lily. They both droop when thirsty (so they give you a clear indication as to when to water them), have a lovely chunky foliage, are quite cheap and very sturdy. Another great ones are snake plants. Most cactuses and succulents would go on 4th and 5th place on the "hardest to kill" list. your plant may experience a bit of a shock after about half a year since you bought it, as the fertiliser given in store usually runs out around that time. Don't panic, it is not dying, just give it a little love and plant food and it will be happy again. Follow these and you should be just fine for the majority of plants. Houseplanrs are awesome decorations that can light up any place, and more than you think are extremely low maintenance. It is a nice hobby for the soul, and don't stress if you kill one, happens to everyone every now and then. Some species are drama queens, and some specimen of no-fuss plants are ungrateful bastards. That being said, most will comply, because they want to be alive just as much as you want them alive. Here is a little guide on what to expect from common low maintenance species. Good luck! 💚 submitted by /u/encouragemintx to r/LifeProTips [link] [comments]
