Our home is our castle, and it's where we spend most our time. You may have just a room, bedsit, or mansion... what styles have you done it in?

I call it "I'm tired and don't have a lot of money" chic.

I've definitely had that style in the past. Totally necessary sometimes

My home is really girly I love Cath Kidston and Laura Ashley. If a 5 year old child would like it so will I! I have cuddly toys on display with no shame. My favourite wallpaper in the house is this one with stags on it (one wall only):

Between this and the one you had put in a few weeks ago, your taste in wallpaper is on point!

Almost all our furniture is mismatched hand-me-downs. Likewise the framed art prints on the walls, but we've started adding a bit of levity to the baroque and cubist pieces in the last few years.
Oh, and every horizontal surface is absolutely cluttered because we're a 4-person polycule and all of us are various degrees of ADHD XD

I really like that kind of decor! Plus we neurodiverse people really are the best

It is way easier for me to get along with the neurospicy types. =D

Me too! I find others in the strangest of places

Do we have a word like "gaydar" but for AuADHD? XD
LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al · 3 pts · 1y
We should totally make one up!
knightly@pawb.social · 3 pts · 1y
I mean,, "audar" kinda fits but it feels weird to say aloud. 🤔
LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al · 3 pts · 1y
Neurodar! Sounds like a dinosaur though

I’m all in (or as much as I can afford) on the arts and crafts aesthetic. We have some functional but cheap furniture that we are slowly (slooowly) replacing with quality wood furniture but oof it costs a ton. And we have a few pretty stained glass lamps and light fixtures.

Yes it's really expensive. It's 100% worth it but it's definitely an ongoing project! What's your favourite piece?
proudblond@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y
Ooh tough call. Probably my dining room table. It’s a trestle table and I think it’s Amish made.
LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al · 2 pts · 1y
Oooooh nice!

Bright colors, large puffy furniture, wood, but no clutter. I’m planning to add wall shelves.
How about you?

What came here before and still works
Or can't be moved like the huge ass wooden boxed tv. That fucker is permanent. A focal piece I guess!

Minimalistic, clean lines. I don't like a lot of detailing or filigree on things because it just collects dust and makes it so much more work to keep things clean. No curtains and only a limited amount of tchotchkies for the same reason. Other than that, I like a lot of grey, blues, and greens, with the occasional pop of something bright. Soft, textured fabrics for duvet, throw pillows, and area rugs.

One room ended up Asian, one room ended up Coastal, one room ended up Forest… and the main living area ended up a blend of all of it. Sort of… Hawai’i… ish?
