my advice would be - get the big furniture pieces first, because in the end they dictate the general vibe and design of your space, and compliment them with smaller pieces like lamps rugs etc. also, try to think ahead a bit and DONT buy trendy furniture. don’t go overboard with color because you WILL get tired of it. remember, people are most comfortable in spaces and colors resembling nature the most. ahhhh generally take it slow? i understand the excitement about furnishing your space but finding your style take a lot of time. and if you have the resources try to invest in good quality furniture!

🎨So much that goes into this… consider the colors outside that you can see through the windows, the natural colors of your local environment, any particular seasonal colors you find yourself gravitating towards (I love autumnal tones)! And don’t forget about paint finish and textural application techniques 😍
If you live in a particularly sunny/warm or gloomy/rainy environment and want to counteract or enhance those pick colors accordingly. I would also suggest looking into color psychology like if you’re depressed a lot of the time and would like to feel uplifted use bright sunny colors but if you often feel anxious and want to feel more sedated choose something less mentally stimulating.
Pick colors that would look good with the furniture and art you have or want to have… Curtains and rugs can be a beautiful way to add large swaths of color and texture too…. I love light filtered through a pink orange or golden curtain! And you cannot go wrong with deep rich jewel toned walls in different colors for every room if you want something impactful imo.
I’m sick in the head so I always love a good crisp white wall and adding color everywhere else. The walls in my rental house (I am NOT going to paint) are mostly varying shades of blue and gray which I thought I would hate but surprisingly I love them and find them soothing. I have a little sunroom with pale green walls that looks out into a lush verdant backyard with gorgeous trees and I love that combination!
GO CRAZY WITH FREE PAINT CHIPS tape them all up on the walls and see what clicks for you!!

😃Not sure what kinda style you like, but for your bedding, I highly recommend layers!
if you got a duvet, get 2 inserts to make it full and fluffy. Then a soft blanket folded out on top (that can also be a different texture) of the duvet cover.
I have two pillows and a body pillow that are different colors (body pillow is a moss green and the two standards are black).
Maybe some decor pillows?
I’ve seen some Pinterest posts where people get fabrics and they place them around on their walls as decoration. then they hang stuff up on them. It looks so cool. Kind of like the whimsical look.
Again, this all really depends on your style, but if you’re down for it, make each room its own character, but of course with some continuity when needed.
For example, my living room is red and black. I have a few posters up and hand made things decorated around that were given by friends.
My dining room is Forrest green and black. I have a crusades painting up with daggers on the sides. It help that the balcony allows a little light in.
The continuity for both rooms is the black furniture.
Just have fun with it. It’s your space! keep in mind that if it doesn’t work in one room, it can be replaced or repurposed :)

⭐-chopped pillows are fugly. don't chop them thangs
-too matchy matchy is boring. an entire living room with all matching furniture tells me you don't know what looks good so you let a catalog tell you
-nothing wrong with white walls and bland floors, it's what you do with the rest that matters
-you should do literally whatever you need to do with your furniture to make it work for your space and your needs, who gaf about anything else this is YOUR house
-modern farmhouse is fugly i'm sorry. sorry mom.
-hgtv is so boring to watch bc pretty much every designer has the exact same style. if they got some people in there with some interesting, out of the ordinary styles, it would be more fun
-people bitch about minimalism but smooth clean lines are so pleasing to the eye. meanwhile too much going on in a room can just get so overwhelming. it's not for everybody but there's nothing inherently ugly about minimalism, brutalism etc.
-it's way cooler if your house looks full of stuff you've collected with purpose over time rather than random stupid shit you'd find sitting out for "decor" at a furniture store. why tf do you have a giant wooden carved chain on your coffee table instead of a book or something you bought one time because you thought it was cool. or like the bowls full of just giant spheres like what is this it's so boring
-i don't think all your stuff needs to be hidden away in drawers and stuff i don't mind seeing your books and movies and dvds and shoes etc. stored where people can see them. youre a human being and you have stuff that's fine i think people's stuff can often be part of the decor
-if cheap furniture looks good and functions as it's intended, it's fine don't worry about it
-people are too scared of color

⭐i've been seeing tiktoks of people asking their friends to pick them up from the airport/help moving and no one agrees. honestly what kind of a friend are you if you only care about doing fun stuff together and disappearing in the time of need. and honestly same goes for ignoring stuff in public like you see a woman carrying heavy bags and you just walk by? or when people don't offer their seats in transport for the elderly or sick? very strange to me. be kind to others personal boundaries are overrated
