So I just moved out of my parents place and into a studio apartment.

Anything I'm missing here? How could I make the place look homier?

Thanks you beautiful /fa/gs

Looks good but it also looks staged. Like, its cozy but pretty basic. I cant get a beat on your personality or hobbies/interests. All I see is computer, plants and some cooking stuff. Basic human hobbies.

Looks great but also feels like its from a catalogue ad for an apartment. I believe someone lives there but theres no soul to it.

Plants Plants Plants, including a good couple hanging ones. You have great sunlight for them, take advantage of that.

Rugs look of good quality, maybe you could fit another two.

Get a nice second hand couch or else people will know you dont get many visits. I would recommend you place a two or three seater couch with its back stuck to the left side of your bed ( the one opposite to the wall). this would maximize space and allow you to watch movies on your pc monitor.

Finally, where are your books you fucking ignoramus.

You don't really have anywhere for a guest to sit. There's only your desk chair and bed. Rugs are good and obviously art will help but a small couch/futon with coffee table would probably go a long way. You could maybe put the desk against wall by the end of the bed and that'd free the whole wall up for a mini sitting area. Imo those sorts of modern tiny apartments invite minimalist, high tech, monastic, and orientalist aestetics. Pics of zen monasteries, Islamic seraglios, and high tech modern spaces would be where I'd get inspo to capitalize on what the architecture of the place asks for. I'll post a few random inspo of what I'm talking about.

And Dont worry about holes in the wall. Just put white toothpaste in 'em. Ive never had a landlord notice.

Make sure to keep surface areas clean. Always put things away when you're done using them. It makes a huge difference. And as the other anon said, you need a bit of art for the walls. I suggest one or two medium sized framed posters to your liking - tons to choose from, but cheap enough.

How is putting a desk in the middle of the room going to free up space? I think that'd look dumb with how big my desk is and how small the room is.
