Interior design

So we’re redoing our mudroom. Wallpaper on top, and dark green/brown paint on the paneling. Giving a little context, the house is older than the country and it’s a cape in the northeast. Do we paint the trim and doors as well? Or leave the trim white? I really don’t know.

For my main gate door i have to choose between these two sheets and personally i want to buy the sheet2 as it has 10yr warranty but from inside it will be just plain grey. Please help me let me know which to choose and mostly which is used in homes these days?

Ignore the horrible mess lol but what size, shape and colour of rug would you suggest in this bedroom?

Hey y'all! This is my first post, but certainly not last in r/InteriorDesign as we embark on a renovation of a 1940s cottage.

We are combining two small rooms and removing a wall to create space for a kitchen. One room has salvageable oak floors, while the other room has no floors at all! We're thinking of choosing a checkboard tile or linoleum to lay down on that section of the floor but I am curious if it actually looks good IRL. I want a seamless transition, is that even possible? I'd love to see pictures of your two-floor kitchens if you have them.

Please help, I liked these two options for dining table, is there anything I need to know about handling ceramic vs marble. Price wise ceramic ones is more. Are these maintained easily? Stains handling ? Hot pots placement etc.

I got accepted to university of texas in austin for masters in interior design and thomas jefferson university for MS in interior architecture. I am very confused which one to go to. Where ut austin has a good reputation it is also a 3 year program, accredited but not stem designated. On the other hand im not sure bout thomas jefersons reputation but it is a 2 year program which is accredited and so stem designated. Thomas jefferson is more expensive per year but the total cost is the same for 2 year n 3 year. Im not sure what factors to consider and what not. Which will give me a beter job oportunity.. plus how is it to live in austin vs philly? Im going crazy over this decision. I would realy like to hear some opinion from the field.

GUYS PLEASE HELP! 🙏

I want to open the window while showeeing but need something blur the vision from the outside, any ideas?

First real apartment and buying grown up furniture. We plan to get a sectional sofa. Is 110” in length the biggest you would recommend? Or would 125” work as well? And is it better to put the chaise against the window/balcony or against the kitchen area? And would the tv be better on the wall closest to the balcony door or opposite?

Any ideas for how to incorporate a desk for wfh as well? Thanks!

Should I rip out the floor tile or paint the walls a better color to go with the floor tile I hate? I actually like the blue but, I hate it with the floor tile.

I’m going to buy a couch for my new place tomorrow. This is the floor plan. If I want the sofa in the spot I drew on the floor plan, is it a R facing chaise or L facing?

Hi all,

My wife has a great knack for design and organization. She has consulted for a few projects as well, but with limited time due to our small children. Next year, though, they will all be in full time school and so she wants to get serious. She has had plenty of friends and acquaintances who have offered to pay her to consult on their homes / remodels, so she clearly has a market.

Any ideas for gifts or software tools for helping her make the jump? My top concerns for her (besides not charging her worth) are about establishing a repeatable and scalable process and to get more efficient / juggle more than one project at a time. I'm sure idea books and design concepts would be great as well. I have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm just trying to be supportive.

Hi all! My 10 year old daughter has been hyper focused on all things design since she could pick up Legos. I would love to sign her up for an online course to learn some principles of design or even drafting. Do you have any suggestions on where I could start? Really just want to continue feeding this passion and don’t know where to start.

i hate these hardwood floors, they’re so loud. but i don’t know if it will look bad when i furnish over it. i was thinking of getting a very soft fluffy dark green shag rug, would wanna cover this entire space completely or if not at least 90-95% since that thing on the right is in the way, but im still debating. i just don’t want to regret spending my money

thoughts?

Is there an app where I can put the layout of my house in and begin to change colors of walls, ceiling, furniture, etc.

TIA

Yes or no
