ikea, west elm and Homegoods are your friends, get your major things like sofas, dining table and bed from WestElm, get your other essentials from Ikea, and then get all the decor and such from Homegoods

college life should be about school. then after that. you find your own place. but keep cash high and expenses low. its not what you make though. its what u save and what u dont spend. just saying.
times are tough. nothing beats having shelter and a cozy place you can call home.

Consider some wall art above the sofa^cosign. i've been living at those places for the past few weeks. might even make an ikea run today.

your tv is too high.
Eye level at seating position is optimal, at least have it on a tilt.

Too true. And what's the point of that backrest on the front of what looks like is supposed to be a chaise? That whole set up doesn't even look functional or comfortable, even if those cushions are plush as hell.Consider some wall art above the sofa^cosign. i've been living at those places for the past few weeks. might even make an ikea run today.

go look at West Elm, Crate and Restoration...Z Gallerie has nice stuff too...then search CL for what you like at 40-70% off. I got a 400 coffee table for $30 bucks on CL. Bought a $2500 bed for $295 on CL (Frame only) I dont mess with used mattresses.
Just look for deals.

Very true. I agree with everything u said. But at the same time I still try to make my living space as nice as it can be while still living within my means. I probably can't afford half the stuff in this thread but it does inspire me for the future.

I've been living in my studio for about a month. In one to two more months I should have close to where I want it and then I'll take pics

^^ I don't think it's that big of a deal actually. I would prefer eye level or slight elevation upwards.
Anybody customize from west elm. Need more ideas on companies that would ship.
THanks!
