I can slide a pinky finger under these gaps. Is there a way to make this look better without fully replacing the trim? Any recommended solutions out there - filler, caulk, etc)? Not sure that adding molding would look better than having the gaps. Advice appreciated.

I recently updated my dining room and changed almost everything except the dining table and the light fixture. I’m really happy with how the room is coming together, but I’m starting to wonder if the chandelier is still the right choice for the space.
Would you change the light fixture if this were your dining room? I’m not necessarily looking for something trendy—I’d love to keep the room feeling elegant and classic while making sure the lighting works with the traditional furniture, blue-and-white accents, green walls, artwork, and overall look.
If you would replace the chandelier, what style, finish, or shape would you choose? Would you go with something simpler and more understated, another traditional chandelier, a lantern-style fixture, or something completely different?
I’d love to hear your honest opinions and suggestions. Would you keep the existing light fixture, or do you think changing it would make a noticeable improvement? If you would change it, what would you put here?

Can someone help me figure out how to decorate and finish this bathroom? We recently moved things around, and while I like the new layout, I’m struggling with all of the open space and figuring out how to make the room feel intentional rather than empty.
The bathroom has a long, somewhat narrow layout, with the double vanity on one side and the tub/shower at the far end. I’d really like to make the space feel warmer, more finished, and cohesive without making it feel crowded. I’m especially unsure about what to do with the large open floor area between the vanity and tub.
I’m open to ideas for rugs or runners, artwork, mirrors, lighting, wall décor, storage, accessories, plants, or anything else that would help bring the room together. I’d also love suggestions for colors and finishes that would work with the existing wood vanity, marble-look countertop, gray tile floor, and gray shower tile.
I don’t necessarily want to do a major renovation—I’m mainly looking for decorating ideas that can make a big difference and help the bathroom feel more inviting and pulled together.
How would you decorate this space? Pictures or visual inspiration would be especially helpful! I’d love to see what you would do with all of this open space.

Hello, I need your design help!
This is the furniture I already have, but I’m trying to make my dining room feel more modern farmhouse OR just cozy. The walls will be China White by Benjamin Moore (not changing that) and the chandelier is staying too.
What colors would you pair with it? Any rug, chair, buffet, or decor ideas? If you have inspiration pics, please share!
I am definitely willing to change out all the furniture. I just don’t know what colors to pick and I’m really wanting to do it around the chandelier. Thank you. 🙏

I’ve spent months looking for a living room rug. I’m on the fence about this option. I expected the accent shade to be rust, but it looks more salmon or pink. I’d love to hear your opinions.

My bedroom is pretty much finished, and I’m really happy with how cozy and inviting it feels! I still have a few small things left to do, mainly adding some pictures and artwork to the walls and figuring out how to neatly hide and organize the cords around the TV. Other than those finishing touches, I feel like the room has finally come together.

I love the warm, comfortable feeling of the dark wood, soft bedding, layered pillows, cozy throw, large area rug, and warm lighting. The little details, including the greenery and bedside styling, make it feel much more like a relaxing retreat. There’s still a little bit of tidying and decorating to finish, but overall I’m really pleased with how everything is looking.

It finally feels like a space I can relax and unwind in at the end of the day. Just a few finishing touches and it will be completely done! 😌

Would someone please give me some ideas for what I could do with the back wall of this bedroom? I really want the room to feel a little more cozy and inviting, but I’m worried about making it feel too dark or closed in because the room is only 88 inches wide. It’s a small space, so I need something that adds warmth and personality without overwhelming the room or making it feel even narrower.

The black metal bed frame and the new quilt are staying. I just recently got the quilt, and since we live surrounded by pine trees, I thought the rustic woodland look would fit our home and surroundings perfectly. 🌲🦌 I love the cozy cabin feel, but I’d like to do something with that back wall to make the whole room feel more finished and comfortable.

I’m open to ideas for paint, wallpaper, artwork, wall treatments, or anything else that might work in such a narrow space. I’d especially love suggestions that add some character and coziness while still keeping the room feeling light and open.

What would you do with this wall? I’d really appreciate any ideas or inspiration! Thank you!! ❤️

What would you change in this bedroom? The room is approximately 3 × 3.3 meters, and I’m working with a king-size bed, so space is definitely limited. My biggest concern is the wall-mounted bedside tables. Do they look too cramped or undersized for the space and the width of the bed, or do you think they work well as they are? I’m also wondering if there are any changes you would make to the overall design to improve the balance, proportions, functionality, or visual flow of the room without making it feel overcrowded. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the bed, bedside tables, feature wall, lighting, artwork, colors, and flooring. If this were your room, what would you change, add, remove, or leave exactly as it is?
