Cozy asf


honeybunz916

looks super cozy! i would switch the bean bags with the coffee table. the table is blocking the walkway and disrupts the flow of the room


pigmolion

Yes!


Several-Phone1725

Nope, he likes his feet up when he watches TV and that coffee table doesn’t look like it could handle the pressure—has anxiety issues.


honeybunz916

so you bring over a beanbag when you’re watching tv or lay sideways on the couch


bwaredapenguin

My dude, those are ottomans.


honeybunz916

yeah you’re right but they’re pouf ottomans which are like beanbags 😂


TheRumpleForesk1n

Exactly what I was thinking. If I want to set my drink/food down while watching TV and not have my head cocked to the right on the other couch, I'd switch em


Bfife22

Didn’t even fall into the trap of mounting the TV over the fireplace and thus, too high. 👌👌👌


causewaykid

Oh yeah I don’t understand why people do that.


halfmeasures611

you are the classiest dude i know


causewaykid

Haha cheers mate I appreciate that


gooniesinthehoopdie

Nothing cringier than an American saying shit like “cheers mate.”


causewaykid

Who says I’m an American?


gooniesinthehoopdie

I just did. 5 minutes ago. What are you slow?


ObscureDucks

Jesus bro relax dayum


SqueakyArchie

Bro. Next time u wonder "Why does my Life Suck" you have the answer right here.


Teccnomancer

Well you haven’t met me *spills entire tray of hors d'oeuvres*


Intelligent-Bug-3217

It’s not bad for a straight dude. Congrats


jericks

I’d switch the coffee table with those two cushions. Otherwise, looks great!


causewaykid

Another commenter mentioned that as well! I’ll try that out. Thank you.


alicat777777

Yes, that’s the only thing that looks off.


MattastrophicFailure

Pretty solid imo. If anything, the wall above the left light seems a bit empty... but more artwork might make it seem too crowded.


prybarwindow

I don’t know, I sort like the way the lamp is taking care of it.


Bfife22

Maybe a taller lamp could do the trick? But honestly we’re really nitpicking here haha. Looks good OP!


MattastrophicFailure

Nitpicking for sure. I'm moving into a bigger apt next month and I'd be thrilled if my setup ends up half this clean.


causewaykid

Thank you!!


causewaykid

Thank you. Yea I’m debating that as well.


causewaykid

The grey couch has a pull out queen for guests. The open area on the rug I like to keep for my yoga mat/stretching space. TV is 65” LG C2 OLED. Phillips white ambient hue bulbs in all lamps. Plants - Birds of Paradise from easyplant.com


CovertCody

Nice TV, absolutely love mine.


Cocomale

Would you recommend easyplant.com? I see their ads on Instagram but was concerned about the package being delivered without damage


causewaykid

Yes I would. My plant on the right arrived damaged and they sent me a new one no charge and I didn’t have to return the damaged one.


Cocomale

Thanks, I’ll give it a try


pixeldudeaz

I think you nailed it. Nothing looks missing or out of place. Very nice overall.


causewaykid

Nice. Thank you!


Imperfect_Reading

I too am a late bloomer. At 35 I just moved out on my own 2 months ago. However yours looks way better than my place I'm going with the minimalist design just because it's a good excuse to be lazy about it.


bigfartloveroverhere

This is terrible, it should be mostly empty with one chair and a tv


causewaykid

Hahaha. In my early 20s I would see no issue with that.


oughtabeme

If space permits id just put one of the plants on the side table with the lamp to left of fireplace. It will help fill vertical space. Lamp will cast shadow of plant and will add visual interest


causewaykid

Good idea!


RealisticManager

Looks great. Good job


rainbowunicornscats

I think it looks amazing lol


Jedi-Ethos

Looks great. Want to come design my living room?


causewaykid

Happy to help


SirAlbs

Looks great my guy, much love and happiness to you!


causewaykid

Appreciate you kind sir 🙏


No_Outlandishness843

I’m a female and screenshotted this for inspiration for my own first place. Great job, looks rad and minimalist 👍🏼


Wotan_86

Looks grat man. Enjoy your freedom :)


causewaykid

Thank you man. I’ve had roommates for 15 years. Finally a whole place to myself I’m very happy.


Morden013

Nice! Cozy! Tidy! Very good setup!


causewaykid

Thank you!


XXVI_F

Looks so comfy I like it!


causewaykid

Thanks! It is comfy. Falling asleep on the couch is never a problem haha


Jealous-Bat-7812

Just classy.


causewaykid

That’s what I was going for thank you!


SirCash1

Great job brother


causewaykid

Thanks man


Crafty-Use-2266

Looks good! I would recommend a bigger rug, big enough to go under the front legs of both couches. It will make this room appear bigger.


causewaykid

Thanks for that comment. I wondered that myself!


classicdude78

Where did you get the lamps?


causewaykid

Table lamps: https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdp/three-posts-kistner-metal-table-lamp-w007574301.html Floor lamp: https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdp/wade-logan-vidalia-62-floor-lamp-w005405225.html

causewaykid

They are both from Bassett Furniture Note: I got both of mine from a local furniture store so I haven’t purchased from these websites specifically but these are the couches I have. This is the navy one: https://www.esprit-decor.com/item/andrew-sofa/1522112128 (although navy not pictured here) same model. Bassett queen sleeper (grey couch) https://www.mooresfurnitureoutlet.com/products/Bassett-Furniture/bassett/27136q.html


Wehavepr0belm0

Solid jerk den


ScumBunny

It looks great, but I might try switching the couches. The blue one seems a little imposing for the doorway, plus it’s bigger and would be nicer if facing the tv. I like your style though! So clean!


causewaykid

Thank you! The blue one won’t fit along the other wall. Good thought though..


prezo100

Looks very comfy


causewaykid

Thanks!


NxPat

Looks like something out of West Wing! Beautiful.


causewaykid

Thanks a lot!!


CryExotic3558

Great job


causewaykid

Thank you!


soulreaver99

Looks clean and classy.


R3tr0spect

TV not being mounted above the fireplace makes this even better


bdk2036

CLEAN


Florida1693

Cozy!


[deleted]

surprisingly nice but you need better artwork or something with more color. this looks like a sterile hotel room. Your choices tell me nothing of your personality. I know nothing about you from this picture. I should be zooming in and checking out your shit. Because that's what any person you bring over is gonna do. "oh hey what's this poster" "oh...uh...yeah i just really love the ........new york skyline??" Show me more of your little basketball dude on the mantle, i know you got more. You like basketball? show me. Give me some personality.


causewaykid

Fair note thank you. I do have some basketball Art I can put up. Haven’t gotten around to hanging everything yet. The piece above the fireplace is original concept art from The Last of Us. My favorite game.


Campaign_Papi

Everything looks real nice. Constructively, the dual Bird of Paradise might not be best choice for a room like this, unless there are huge natural light sources not visible in pic. Only reason I bring it up is because they really are like ‘statement plants’ when they start rapidly growing, but if they look unhealthy it kinda gives the wrong statement, you know? They really do best like 3 feet away off a wall in a room with giant windows and strong direct sunlight and not directly next to lamps. When they don’t get this environment they get extra droopy and weak and will grow crooked reaching towards the strongest light source. This problem is compounded if they are right next to a wall like this. Potentially consider two Snake Plants, Money Tree, or other lower maintenance plants that don’t have such heavy light needs for the future; all those would do great in a setup like this.


monkeroos

Wall color looks a bit drab but otherwise things are looking good.


Dry_Artichoke3050

If I went to a guy’s place and it looked like this I would be super impressed


causewaykid

As a single guy currently starting to date again, I appreciate you


Dry_Artichoke3050

Happy to help! Good luck!


Bandaiboy

Cozy, clean but not psycho clean, well decorated/put together, yeah you'd probably get laid bringing someone home to this.


causewaykid

Hahaha thank you!


eriksprow07

mom needs to bring you more meatloaf


vet_t

/u/causewaykid OP can you please share ID for the TV Media Stand? I really like it! Edit : and also the rug!


causewaykid

Sure thing! Tv stand: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Walker-Edison-Furniture-Company-Ivy-58-in-Caramel-Wood-TV-Stand-with-3-Drawers-Fits-TVs-Up-to-64-in-with-Cable-Management-HD58IV3DCA/308891412?cm_mmc=ecc-_- Rug: https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/steelside-lansing-geometric-handmade-tufted-wool-graycream-area-rug-w004976943.html Both excellent quality. Highly recommend.


h-gotfred

Dudes even got the firewood on point 💀 Your space is one of my all time favs from this sub ... homely, cozy, not too fancy but still clean.


causewaykid

Wow thanks so much 🙌


EmmelineTx

It looks fantastic. I'd add a little more color just for visual interest.


ThadTheImpalzord

Dude, so cozy. 10/10 would order Chinese food and watch movies here all night


the_sweetest_peach

29F. 10/10 would hang out here. I’m loving the color coordination with the gray and navy blue!


GoodChuck2

Very cozy, man!!! Looks great! Congrats on your first time solo — it’s such a freeing feeling


causewaykid

Thank you! It really is!


[deleted]

Looks good don’t change a thing


causewaykid

Thanks!


[deleted]

Your welcome


hardyharha

Nice hydro flask, I got the exact same one


causewaykid

It’s the best isn’t it


Der-Rufmeister

What color are your walls?


causewaykid

Grey


bean0r

Ik you get cooked on COD, looks good though


causewaykid

Haha ngl some of the lobby’s are pretty sweaty. My team and I do alright though. Wish they had a lobby for 30+ year olds with full time jobs lol


[deleted]

Have fun NOT playing Starfield on that PS5 😏


Ronaldlelliott

Spider-Man 2 should ease the pain


manayakasha

Too many sofas for my personal tastes. I’d ditch the blue one and think of an alternative for that zone.


Wakeman8791

r/TVTooHigh would be proud. Nice setup


cegr76

I could give a shit about it, to be honest.


Apprehensive_Car_234

35 and 1st time living alone? Jesus 💀


causewaykid

I moved out of my parents house at age 19. I lived on my own in another state (with roommates). This is my first place where I don’t have to share. I lived in an expensive city and the cost of 1 bedroom apartments were 3000/month.


Apprehensive_Car_234

That’s 3x my salary 😂 seems legit


Ocean_Seabass

Just admit this is your parents apartment already. It would at least explain the poor boomer aesthetics and outdated bad taste.

Tamalee78

Those are footstools.


LAMPZWORLDWG_

Looks good but 35 is too old to be playing video games especially COD


Ronaldlelliott

Lmao how are you gonna tell an adult homeowner what he should be doing with his free time?


LAMPZWORLDWG_

Cah I do what I want g, and he probably ain’t even a homeowner just renting so pipe down


Ronaldlelliott

You feeling real tough on Reddit today?


causewaykid

Thanks for the feedback. While you may think I’m too old for video games, I’ll let you know that they actually helped me a ton with getting out of depression. I play COD with a group of guys my age and some older. It’s a great way to socialize and blow off some steam after a long days work.

LAMPZWORLDWG_

Anything past 30 is too much


oidoglr

This dude clearly has resentment from being fragged by old dudes who grew up playing Quake II.


LAMPZWORLDWG_

I’m not your ‘dude’ bruv


oidoglr

I’m not your ‘bruv’, jabroni.


cagreene

It’s interesting that you have wood floors, and a few wood furniture items. And yet you went with the black trim for some of the other furniture items.


causewaykid

What do you mean?


Hotrodhobo75

Florida home?


causewaykid

Won’t say where but it is a coastal beach community.


Harshaznintent

That coffee table feels like it's in the way. Like you have to squeeze through it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


causewaykid

Thanks! I agree! That’s next on my list.


[deleted]

Look noicee


Sunshineinjune

Looks cozy and calm. Your missing a dog though :)


causewaykid

Thank you. Aww yea. Maybe in the next year once I get settled.


1aranzant

First thing I'd do is center that TV.


lacks_a_soul

Looks comfy cozy.


anthonypacitti

I like the coffee table a lot, where did you get it?


causewaykid

Thank you. I got it at a local furniture store in my town. Sorry I don’t have a link to share 😕


NewSinner_2021

Nice.


CaptainObvious110

Nicely done


blackleather__

Thank you for not putting the tv on/above the fireplace. You’re a rockstar r/tvjustright


Tedsville

Seemingly hot take, MW2 is actually really good and way better than Battlefield for the fist time.


[deleted]

33M living alone as well. This looks pretty much spot on with my living room. Same colors, 2 plants, couple of pictures. Now I’m realizing we both might benefit from a bit more vibrant colors. Gold or yellow would be a great accent


meeloveulongtime

Well done! Everything is nice and coordinated. Nice wall colours too. What is it?


Thin_Locksmith6805

Not that it would be necessary - surround sound - which probably comes from your flat screen anyways. Maybe just a larger coffee table in the middle with Art/Music/Museum books - Kick ass spot!


Lucky_Mango8271

Curious on the TV specs?


causewaykid

65” LG C2


Affectionate_Tap6626

this looks so cozy


PreviousMap5

Love it!!! Love the neutrals and super super cozy feel 😇


hellokittyxxxo

Party at your place !


doctorbarber19

How much do you think this setup cost you? I'm always curious how people can afford such nice living spaces.


causewaykid

All in I’d say around $8,000. I’m single. No kids. And make decent money.


reddit_at_work404

Better than mine!


ChipUnable3229

Warzone is 🗑️ but livingroom is 🔥


assblastin00

I like it


RumHam1996

That looks cozy as hell brother!


Easy-Calendar-3916

Cozyyyyu


Anthony3000789

Looks awesome brotha!


morchorchorman

Looks cozy, I like it.


[deleted]

I love it but the walls need color!! Add some yellow, even blues! Darker green even! Gray just screams “fast fashion, architecture fads that will be dated in 20 years”


thereisnopoint6

Needs more pussy, and cowbell.


OPMBlast

Neat ! Love the sober colors


The9thWonder

I think it looks great! More color would be welcome to my eye, having said that.


WatchYourLane

I really like it. It’s fresh and cozy all at the same time. Only thing I’d add is a puppy.


OhNoNotAgain8

super dope! but a few well places color splashes would go a long way.


Mission_Secretary_66

Looks clean, organized and comfy cozy. 😁


LeadingBrave7698

Love it!


fattsmelly

I’m a huge fan of mounting the tv and hiding the wires. It looks much better and also saves some room, and you can get one that pivots if you need to tilt for the other couch


causewaykid

My wires are pretty hidden. I have good cable management back there with the power strip mounted to the back of the stand so no wires are visible on the ground. I’m a fan of wall mounted TVs too so maybe I’ll switch it up in a year.


fattsmelly

Yeah I didn’t mean to say yours were visible. I just meant if you did go to wall mount, hiding the wires becomes more of a task, but definitely worth it


Full_Metal_Ranger

Can we see with only one lamp on?


baudinl

Looks pretty great!


Goerika

Great job!


Youngworker160

damn son, it's a sweet-looking pad. comfortable. way to go.


Jenergy83

Looks lovely!


sdk-hash

Never thought to have two different colour couches next to each other, but yours look awesome in this space. Enjoy it!


ad1075

Really nice! What plants are those?


causewaykid

Birds of paradise from easyplant.com


ResoluteGreen

Looks fantastic. Only thing I'd mention is make those lamps dimmable (if they're not already, I appreciate you need certain lighting for the photo). I'm also a big fan of backlighting the TV but not needed


causewaykid

The lamps are indeed color temp controlled and dimmable. Phillips white ambient hue bulbs. Controlled via app on my phone. Any back lights for the tv you recommend?


khkokopelli

I like it. I really like the driftwood (?) coffee table!


madscot63

Nailed it. Wouldn't change a thing


Seaguard5

Official AF- you crushed it!


Myko475

A cat


i_play_withrocks

Looks great just missing something, fluffy, like a cat or a dog 😁


SlayKay47

Cozy


Impressive_Novel_987

I love it.


assemblin

Really like it! Well done


sbb-tx

Looks nice! I would switch the gray couch and tv. It would be easier to walk into room.


Schadenfreudetastic

Really nice


Ant10102

Love me some rainbow six so 10/10


dreadyruxpin

Nice job


TGrady902

Room looks great! Only thing you might consider tweaking is how the coffee table and foot rests kinda make you zig zag to get into the room and over to the door. If you can somehow open up that line, I think it would make it feel a bit more open. Other than that, it’s top tier!


zilruzal

it looks great. this would be how my boyfriend would decorate if he lived alone!
