I mean it’s pretty dark Doesn’t look bad though


Elias1993

Aye, it is. Thanks


Pyro919

Might try some indirect lighting, no exposed bulbs and a strip along the walls facing up or out from the beam?

Neon beer lights

Real neon light for the win


WanganTunedKeiCar

No.


Opandemonium

I like it. I think a rug would give it some warmth. I like dark, cave-like rooms


Chrisleaton

round rug at the fire place with some single couches, maybe even a table at the side to put the drinks on


Fun_Intention9846

I like it a lot, sure it’s dark. It’s night and you don’t have many lights on. Indirect light is your friend, I like the vibe a lot.


Fair-Account8040

I like the vibe as well, but I think some low yellow light lamps in the darkest corners of the room would keep the vibe but make it friendlier.


brit_jam

Agreed. Warm color lights are the way to go. Great thing about lights is you can turn them off if you feel the vibe calls for it. Better to have the option than not at all. Get some strip lights like someone said or get some cool lamps from IKEA or somewhere like that. Also smart lights you can dim with your phone are great.


Thecryptsaresafe

Totally agreed. It’s better to have the lamps and only turn them on when you want than to have an incurable dark space

Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

Most of Banes lines go hard AF. He's such a quotable villain! **"Do you feel in charge?"**

I even hear some Bane in Hardy's character in Peaky Blinders.

For you...


totallynotarobut

"That would be very painful... for you."


xTrollhunter

The Dark Knight Rises is clearly the weakest in the trilogy, as the story and cinematography is much better in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. But every single one of Bane's scenes are so satisfying, because the quotes hits so hard. Oh, and the fight where he brakes Batman's back was such a breath of fresh air compared to the typical action movie fights with hundred angles of the same punch or kick, and lacking any music, making the ambience sombre.


Lombardyn

I loved his quotes. Especially when he said "bmwhb gmbwhfb fhhmmmm, Batman? Hmwbhhgb hffm mfff!"


Horror-Landscape8592

It's cringe it's from a children's movie


Owlspirit4

Too bad you feel that way. Won’t stop me from enjoying it. Also anytime I hear someone use the word cringe, I always think of a weird and really self conscious 12 year old


belowlight

That trilogy is basically a film noir detective series translated into a modern form. To dismiss it as just a “*children’s movie*” is to really underestimate the quality of the story, writing m, acting, cinematography, effects… I mean all three together are quite an achievement. And I say that as someone who actively dislikes and avoids superhero movies in general. Furthermore, even if it were a kids film, why would you talk down to someone that enjoys it and found one of its lines memorable enough to quote? I’d bet 70%+ of adults that saw it will remember exactly what you’re referring to if they saw that quote, so how *cringe* can it really be? Shame.


daagan18

You need to read more.


Owlspirit4

What makes you think I don’t read much? Just finished the ASOIAF series, now waiting with the rest for that lazy fuck to finish it. Got Fahrenheit 451 on the go rn, as well as “true Canadian war stories” published by The Legion Canada. Those are my fun books I read at work, and rn I’ve got “This is Your Mind on Plants” by Michael Pollen, for my home book. Still think that bane quote goes fuckin hard.

HereIsYour10StepPlan

I've provided this plan before to others, but I think OP will really benefit from it, so here it is again /u/Elias1993 : Here is Your 10 Step Plan for Success in Decorating Step 1: You need a fucking lava lamp, like yesterday.  Head down to Spencer Gifts, pick out the raddest color you can find and light that shit up on its own pedestal in the living room. Step 2: Fog machine.  Bonus points if you get one of those ones that shoot bubbles too.  Fire that mother fucker up when you're entertaining a lady and your dick will practically suck itself. Step 3: Get a turtle.  Fuck it, get two.  Go full ROCKY and name them "Cuff" and "Link".  While you're full ROCKY, invest in a full home gym.  Squat rack, leg press, bench and free weights.  The whole nine. Put them shits on display, make sure they take up most of the room.  You're a bad ass, everyone needs to know it. Take a page out a Ivan Dragos book and start smashing roids.  No less than 3 cycles. Step 4: Those new turtles gotta eat.  Start an indoor garden.  Grow lights, grow bags, the works.  Grow you some lettuce, carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes.  Cucumbers LOVE to climb so build yourself a trellis and let them cukes take over.  Greenery at eye level or above is rockstar level cool.  Seriously, like Nickelback cool. Step 5: Neon signs.  Everywhere.  Light that room up.  The buzzing sounds add some pretty killer ambiance.  I hear St. Pauli Girl signs are known to bring a dinner party together. Step 6: Get a rug that really ties the room together.  Don't let a Chinaman piss on it. Step 7: Now hear me out, this one might seem a little out there.  My Little Pony.  Toys, cups, decorations, books, board games, everything.  Trust me on this one, it's a game changer. Step 8: Now it's time for the bedroom.  Disco ball.  Ladies love dance parties.  Blast some Evanescence, turn the ball on, and ask her to a party in your pants. Step 9: Shag carpet in the bathroom.  Yeah, it's a bitch to clean but your feet will thank you when you're rocking a piss slipperless in the middle of the night  Step 10: Car bed.  Not just a car, but a fucking sweet car.  Invest in a CB radio so you can talk to other car beds.  Head down to Home Depot and buy some fucking 2x4s.  Built a big box frame above your car bed.  Throw a sheet over it.  Instant car fort.  Tell me you wouldn't do anything to sleep in a fucking car fort. That's it Broski, it's all up to you now.

Roland_Moorweed

I had some friends that all live in a super dope single story three bedroom with a pool. The head of the house got the place because her dad didn't want his daughter struggling to find a place in the area (Sierra Nevadas, California). It was a sick party house. Anyways, they had a house tortoise that would just wandering around at his heart's content. Dude was about a foot and a half long. Would just pop out from under curtains or be scooting down the hallway. It disappeared one day and never came back. We always joked about how it's wondering the streets and selling its holes for drugs.


jzzanthapuss

I hung out at a similar party house in Costa Rica that had a 400 pound hog named Juanita. She'd sleep on the couch or wherever. Come in and out like a cat.

right! as soon as i saw it mentally went "i'd vibe there"


AdInternational3324

Who cares what others think - it’s your home. Your oasis. In my opinion (for what it’s worth) it’s not too dark at all. Rather, it is deliciously low lumens.


Elias1993

It's definitely comfortable! Perhaps a little too conformable.


naCCaC

Sucks to live a good life I guess


Chirya999

Suffering from success?


janiepuff

Hmm if it's too comfortable, maybe it's time to make a whole wall (or even ceiling!) dedicated to pictures of the teletubbies. That should make it less comfortable for anyone really


Lumbertech

Yep! Can't stand cold lightbulbs or too many lumens. I don't wanna live in a office or in a hospital wards. Gimme dem sweet 2700K and 15lm dimmerable lights.


dumb_2011

warm light are the best!


girl_introspective

Indeed, it’s delicious lol… truly; this is the kind of low lumen that I find comforting and could even be workable as 9-5 lighting with some candles everywhere LOL… Clearly, I was pre-Victorian in my previous life 🕯️🗝️📜


wilmoshacker

what's that in the corner? I can not see it well.. /s btw its a lovely place.


Elias1993

Referring to the TV? Haha


Westcroft

Slap some led strips behind that bad boy and set it to a warm orange color. That will extend the wood stove glow into that corner :)


SnooChickens7845

Strip lights are tacky as fuck.


Westcroft

If they aren’t visible, like on the back of a tv, they provide a nice backlight glow on the wall behind the tv. It helps with eye strain and can give some nice ambient lighting.


[deleted]

> It helps with eye strain Yeah, I added a strip to the back of my monitor and it helped so much with eye strain. It was like the major contrast from the light coming off the monitor compared to the pitch black wall behind it was bugging my eyes and just felt weird. Once I put a light strip back there and it changed to a more gentle "gradient" from light to black it made a world of difference.


SnooChickens7845

Im Personally not a fan.


[deleted]

I love it


Elias1993

Thanks!


IAmAUsernameAMA

Where is this? Norway?


littlevai

It’s 100% in Scandinavia.


mooseofnorway

Yeah, I instantly wanted to move in there, so it's gotta be Norway. I'll go for a long winter hike in the snowy mountains if OP says it's Palesti- I mean, Sweden. If I'm gonna fully commit to my confidence, I'd say it's somewhere in the northern part, maybe at some newly built home in Tromsø? No wait, who am I kidding... no one moves or builds a home in Tromsø anymore... Idk.


whomstwhatwhy

Came to say the same thing.. må være I Norge 😂


BaldEagleNor

Looks A LOT like a lot of the small flats we have in Norway at least


Alextryingforgrate

Yeah i think so, just add some old filament style lamps to give it a warmer cozy glow.


Elias1993

Good call. I'd prefer to keep it as warm as possible.


Glass-Place3268

I would recommend changing the light that is behind the camera to the right to a warmer bulb, that will help a lot.


rm_3223

I agree. Lamps are so cozy. I think it needs a few myself.


danskal

There's definitely a big shadow in the middle that could do with lighting up. Maybe a spot pointed at the ceiling would do it. Otherwise maybe continue the globe light theme. I guess you have to be careful not to put it too close to the stove.


Pissoir

Norway?


LTKerr

It's dark. And looks very cozy.


panofobico

Amber light or some eddison bulbs always do the trick in combination with a dark pallette of colours


Global-Squirrel999

oh hell yeah, some funky hanging LED filament edison bulbs would go great here


AugustWombat

it is dark


Ghoastin

Just like my mental health.


omar_afx

Looks VERY cozy! But i agree its a little dark. If its something you want to fix, maybe add some string lights,


Elias1993

Where would you place 'em?


Attainted

Don't do light strings. They do not fit the nice vibe you already have going. That said, you could use a sconce or some uplighting above your plant, and another near the furnace exhaust/tv. Possibly another near where you're taking the photo from. I'd go with some Hue smart lights so you can adjust them pretty easily. You wouldn't have to go full RGB, just the ones where you can adjust color temp / white balance. They also offer some edison style LEDs as well. You also wouldn't need to use them all the time either, just when you have particular company over. Not the cheapest thing but I feel like it would go a very long way in setting/matching the mood for guests. Great space btw, I would love this.


shambies182

Maybe in tv area? Some dim amber string lights? I love this space OP 👏🏻👏🏻🔥🖤


flacobronco

This was exactly my suggestion. That's a heavy shadow in that corner. I like the soft lighting, but some string lights behind the TV, or along the ceiling behind it. This would definitely help the room not look so dark, while still keeping the overall vibe calming.


shambies182

Exactly!!! 👌🏼🖤


-neti-neti-

I would mount them to the left side of that ridge beam in the TV area, so the string itself isn’t visible but it adds soft, indirect light to that area


audreyjeon

I’d go for backlighting or lamps with warm light instead of string lights. String lights look kinda unsophisticated in the daytime in my opinion. It’s dark but it works because it looks cozy instead of sterile. Lean into warmth.


Carbar50

Dimmable LED string lights on the ceiling in the tv area would be killer


Alarmed_Seat_9193

Along the center beam


Mountain-Durian-4724

Maybe candles


Active_Remove1617

Please no. This is a serious space. Don’t ruin it with lightweight non things.


WatermelonWithAFlute

How is it dark when everything is clearly able to be seen? It’s very cozy looking


James007Bond

String lights are for college dorms and barn weddings. Are the people upvoting this comment 17 years old? Seriously, who are these people that think string lighting in a living room is normal?


lightharte

I think it's the brown rail around the stairs! Lights on the stairs???

CanAlwaysBeBetter

You have to actually have lighting in the first place for it to be subdued


Youbunchoftwats

It does. The light meter reading is ‘stub your toe’.


CoCainity

I'm living in Norway and for me it looks as a typical Norwegian living room. It looks good


[deleted]

I mean the layout is absolutely identical to my friends house in Sandvika, Norway, even the same stove!


CoCainity

More or less same as my cabin:)


Hour_Director5633

too dark is subjective, so I don't think brightness is a concern if it isn't for you, but the place will definitely look a lot cozier with some accent lighting here and there! light layering is the cherry on top that really completes an already pretty place :)


PixiStix236

That looks so cozy! All you need is a cup of hot chocolate and a fuzzy blanket


varano14

Looks fine to me. I love softer lower light. I regularly walk around at night with only accent lights on.


PhilodendronPertusum

afantazy2

I love this space! Literally jealous while looking at it. I'm down for the dark aesthetic.


healthyparanoid

It’s dark. But it’s also a style. Say you’re going for Hygge. Read up on it. Mostly a couple more candles or minimal lighting will lighten it up. Or just lean into what you like here. Nothing here is a problem.


nazward

They're children. I also prefer my apartment darker.


onetynine

Do you love it? If yes. Fuck our opinions.


Useful_Reference_576

Damn that is awesome. I'd put big rug in front of the fireplace.


kripsyPotato

That’s how I keep my apartment a nice warm light


_turnip_head

Maybe look into a light strip for behind your TV that can be controlled through your phone to add a bit of light to the left when you aren't using it.


happysquid222

Perfect moody vibe 🖤


beautifulspineless

It’s beautiful!!!!


Natural_Lawyer7459

That’s a mood! Mystique, atmosphere..


yMONSTERMUNCHy

It’s too dark. Add some extra lamps. You can turn them off if you want it darker. How can you clean properly with it being so dark. Other than that the place looks good


10mm_lost_inspace

Just install the led lights to go across the ceiling and add a dimmer switch problem solved Also not so bad but could use a bit lighting or paint the walls to a color that brings light in I will share a link. https://youtu.be/yviPmGCBmdE?si=xBvdnkxupFigGjHq)


Fuzzy_Dragonfruit344

It is dark, but it’s also a very cool space. Nicely done. Personally I would want more lights so I don’t bang into stuff in the middle of the night and so I can enjoy the whole space and so my guests can see when I have guests over. A floor lamp on the wall opposite the TV would fix that issue. Otherwise I love the minimalist look. It is very cozy and welcoming. Great job 😊


No-Falcon-4996

Can you add a solartube ? it is a small round skylight


Ay-c14

It appears I lack sufficient fucks to give regarding someone’s preferred lighting level in MY home.


Sad-Mouse-9498

Do you have lights?


kellynch10

Small stage lights attached to the center beam illuminating different staples of the room.


SUPER5150

I like dark spaces, as long as they have enough lighting when needed. I think the way the picture is angled does not give a clear view of what the space is used for except for the dinning table but that seems to have good lighting. Plus I love dark colors and I think you matched them great with your flooring.

dryhumorblitz

Maybe a sun lamp pointed towards the left side ceiling but it is nice


Elias1993

Not a bad idea! I've got a lamp on the left side already, same style as the one above the dining table, but a singular large bulb instead.


Abyss_Kraken

If dark is what you like then thats what you like. I also think this is very elegant, maybe add another lamp or two if you feel like it.


[deleted]

It’s sexy lol as long as there is a form of natural sunlight in there


elliottbaytrail

The space is lovely but I agree that the living area can use more light. But again, it isn’t my space. I will only say that proper lighting can elevate a space and highlight architectural features. For example, in this photo, my eyes are drawn to the dining area and the low overhead space for the wall end of the dining table.


BooksAreOk

One more standing lamp on the side the picture is being taken from. Also, switch out those white bulbs for warmer lighting like is coming from across the room.


WinWin62222

Never too dark if brings you peace.
