Looking for some tips on getting going in this space. Home decorating makes me crazy though. I will get analysis paralysis on a single item then continue to research that specific item until I know way more than I should about it and still not be able to make a decision. I want to buy quality items but also can’t spend multiple thousands on a hand knotted rugs(someday).
My wife is less interested in this stuff but when she does try to get involved she just wants to buy things and get them in there without considering dimensions, materials etc. this couch was not initially purchased for this space but it’s what we have for now. Pinterest helps to an extent but it’s flooded with AI. Shopping for art, furniture or rugs becomes difficult because there is so much cheap stuff out there.
I’d say we tend to like transitional, rustic, primitive style and agree on earthy colors too (I know we have a lot of neutrals going). Barbie house is temporary. Open to any and all suggestions!
Things that I know I need to do with this space:
Rug 8×10
Lamps and other light sources(don’t want to use the overhead lighting)
Maybe a different chair in the area by the stairs, thinking of making the a reading area with bookshelves.
Plants- at least a snake plant
Artwork/decor for walls -don’t even know where to start here
