Reddit mentions of Boraam Smuk Adjustable Swivel Stool, White

okay, here we go. i've had some time to come up what i would want if i were you based on our common preferences.

sofa:

i chose not to include a sectional. primarily because i don't think any exist for around $1,000, let alone any worth having.
personally, I've never been a big fan of them anyway. i feel like we can do better with our space; i feel with its sheer size, a sectional compromises that.

for the sofa i wanted to go with a grey, or charcoal. it's a great color to use as a canvas for everything else, as it's pretty neutral and can compliment basically anything and everything.

with the style i chose (mid-century modern) in a gray/charcoal couch, i'm using that as a platform in deciding the look what i want for everything else: clean, modern and minimalistic lines. contemporary atmosphere with minimal distractions. masculine. not-distractingly minimalistic, but warm and practical. something i won't be intimidated by. approachable, even.

most of all, affordable.



moving on. the coffee table.

i like the industrial-esque look a solid board of stained wood has on steel. i was at target one day and happened to see that first coffee table and kind of... loved it. it's so simple. but masculine, and modern.
so i of course bought it (waited about a year though). turns out the MDF doesn't look all that great. so I'm in the process of actually building one myself with real wood to achieve a similar look. gotta say, being able to tell guests that i built the coffee table they're resting their beer on is gonna be kinda cool.

I've got an entire folder full of bookmarked diy plans and tutorials for more modern coffee tables of anyone is interested in going that route.

accent table:

the black and brown in this end table will really compliment the coffee table. because that's what I'm interested in. complementing, not necessarily matching.
(just like in r/mfa, amateurs match. pros complement).

the end table i linked is pretty affordable but one could also build one or two (easily) of their own for the ultimate bragging points.

lol just kidding (i wish).

since we're not millionaires, here are some options would go with your sofa and overall theme:

i like these chairs because they "go" with our selections so far without feeling like i picked out a living room set from a value furniture store during a memorial day sale.


bar stools:

i like these in either black or white:

i'd probably go with black since that's a common color in our selection so far. can be found cheaper in other websites.



rugs/art

oh boy. okay so here are my thoughts on rugs. shopping for these bad boys is a lot like shopping for art. you're told you need something because a floor without a rug is kind of like a wall without some kind of art. which, okay, makes sense.

so in my living room, i would want my rug and art to compliment each other, or at the very least not clash. that way everything comes together and feels intentional.

in my living room, we're using my girlfriend's rug that she loves. it's a flowery-one (of course) but with a nice, deep navy as its background. so on amazon i bought these plain untextured blackout navy curtains so all kinda comes together. as a bonus, no glare when watching maury!
see? so i guess i would want to achieve something similar with the art.

speaking of which: http://us.loveisartkit.com
that is going to be the next piece of art going up in our home.

art is personal. when you see something, and you really really really like it, bring it into your home. or make something yourself!

as far as the "theme" is concerned, since we're going with a contemporary vibe, abstract is king. so either get creative yourself (very easy Bf cheap to do) or go to a few local art student events and support those poor suckers with your money if you discover something that tugs at your heart's strings.

you'll know you made the right decision because it's going to be a reflection of your personality. kind of like.... our selection of furniture. know what i mean? if you're playful, get something playful and full on contrast. if you're a pimp, get something that reflects that.

picking a rug is a similar process. it's a base, or a platform, for everything else to rest on.

i don't know what your vision is for what you want down there. but here are my pics:

it can be trippy and fun, complicated geometrical patterns, simple, whatever. I'm kind of a minimalist so i like simply patterns and textures. just make sure that whatever you pick doesn't clash with everything else you have going on





bonus: lamps.

this is my absolute favorite lamp in the entire world:

target also has some affordable arc-lamp options. i think arc lamps go brilliantly with a modern "vibe" and they're so cool!

another one:

ikea has some pretty neat affordable options, both floor and for tables.


i could go on and on and on for all of the possibilities. let me know if any of this was helpful

This looks almost exact except the back is a little different
