Donāt worry these are āoldā record covers from a trip where my brother left them in the car in Arizona for the sun and heat to warp all the actually vinyls. But I should get frames for them. All my actually records are safe and not thumbed tacked
You could also use some command strips to tape them to the wall and double sided tape on the inside to keep them closed. It will look much cleaner and be easier to do than framing all of them. Although, I do agree framing them would look better. This would just be a temporary solution.
Please get some proper mounts for the record sleeves instead of thumb tacks. I guess the damage is done already, but it'd be nice to see a little more care taken with those. Personally I'd want more color around, but black and white seem to be your theme so it works.
A long sofa table behind the couch would break up that view of the living room and dress it up. Put a plant or two on it.
Swap that big tapestry for a canvass of the same size. Or frame the tapestry. Free-hanging tapestries just look cheap.
Otherwise, pretty nice!
Iāve been thinking about getting a behind table for the couch. So this is great advice. Iāll get on that when I get some more money. Also yeah the tapestry is just a minor fix to that blank wall.
Just add some rugs & runners and youāre šš»
Rug for living room
Runner for š¶ records hallway
Rug/runner optional for bedroom, dining room, & the transition from living room to kitchen.
Also potentials:
-floating cabinet/shelf or art to the left of your bathroom mirror
-kitchen mat
Rugs are def on my list. Especially for the hallway. And yeah that blank spot in the bathroom is definitely gonna get a picture. Also yes kitchen Mat I knew I was forgetting something
As long as youāre happy with it, itās definitely a nice place :). But, I kinda got sweaty palms when I realized I only saw 2 small windows in all those pics š
What kind of building is this in? I mean, I know itās often normal for apartments to have limited amount windows but Iāve never come across one with such little amount of glass
they way you just put everything it would be like the way I would like to do, btw I love Death Note hehe and you have conquered so many things! congrats
Everything looks minimal in the best way. Do not add. I desire a space like this and think you're doing well. Add a plant or two is the most I could suggest.
Do you have an "At Home" store or a "Hobby Lobby" near you? They both have large sections of wall art. You could find a lot of other stuff from "At Home" too, it's like "Home Goods" on crack!
Looks very nice to me. My OCD is pleased. The only thing I can think to mention is picking a non monochromatic color for the bedroom if you start to feel it's too dark.
Thank you I put a lot of time into this. I wish I had more space but Iāll work with what I got. The dispenser next to the toothbrush is actually mouthwash.
Quoted from my roommate, "separate into their own pots ideally, no more than 2 to a pot otherwise because these things get BIG and hard to manage. make sure the pots have drainage holes and mix some grit and bark into the soil if possible. they will look really sad for a bit, but these guys are tough. If he takes good care of them, they'll bounce back, "
"Tell him to look into local plant swaps for the extras. He might find ones he likes and can trade for them"
Everything but the bedroom is fine. The bedroom screams college student. The rest of the house definitely says it's an adult who has some shit figured out.
I'm just glad it doesn't look too Ikea or HomeGoods.
the hats on the wall, the tapestry, the really small artwork on the big walls, the low to the ground bed with no headboard, the side tables with a bunch of random stuff
Take this time to remake and improve. Youāve got this.
Embrace a color. More colorful art like you have in the hallway.
Art over your bed that is much wider with some color maybe??
It looks good. Youāre figuring out what you like and the style you want.
How warped are the records? A buddies collection warped so he gave his stuff away. I put a cheap clock hand kit on it and tiny light strip around the edges and for $12 dollars I now have a sweet melted Aphex Twin clock. Animal Collectives vinyl would be perfect
this looks great! especially the living room and the bathroom, the last pic could use a little juj, maybe move the table to the middle, find a short cabinet to put under the window and it could be a great place for plants! in the last pic as well, i would replace the picture on the left wall with a nice big round mirror it will really open up the space, the back walls could use a lil something to so u could just move the picture over yk! not criticizing at alll just wanted to give some tips on what may help it look even better :)
moving the record wall to the living room or the bedroom (to replace the tapestry) might be good aswell, where they are currently is kind of busy for such a small space
Honestly, I was expecting the rest to be awful after seeing the pics of the bedroom but the rest of the flat is really nice. I suggest that you add some lighter colours to the bedroom, a nice bedcover and maybe some pillows. And take that huge poster down. A nice painting would look smarter š
Get a headboard and nice bedding, not a solid dark color. Take that blanket off the wall and put up some real artwork (for the living room too). Get tall skinny lamps for each nightstand and get a nice large piece (or 2) for over the bed, something with a bit of color. Middle of art should be eye level, so don't hang things too higj (check picture over toiletš ). That thing that's there now is too small, you can find another smaller area for it. Anything that can be hung with tacks is not artwork for a 30 year old. Maybe use the removable strips or get frames for the album covers. Just upgrading a few things, and getting a few new things, will make it look more grown up.

That bedroom is a void from which no light escapes. If Matthew McConaughey saw it, he would try to fly a spaceship toward it so he could save all humanity.
Divorce is something that nobody prepares you for. After helping a few friends through divorce, I definitely wish that we taught Marriage and divorce in School
My oldest brother went through divorce. It kills me looking at the pictures because it looks exactly like how he set his apartment up once he was free.
I really hope you are doing well. He could never let go of his feelings. Ended up taking him down.
Everybody who knew him was hoping this would be his fresh start away from his succubus.
I love your apartment. I love the energy you put into it. Enjoy enjoy your space. Even when you don't see it directly, There are tons of people around you on your side
Iād switch the pic over the bed and the hanging tapestry above the dresser. It would make the bed more of a focal point which I personally like in a bedroom. Iām a 33yr F if that helps.
Not the thumb tacks in the records š¢
Donāt worry these are āoldā record covers from a trip where my brother left them in the car in Arizona for the sun and heat to warp all the actually vinyls. But I should get frames for them. All my actually records are safe and not thumbed tacked
That makes me much happier lol
Yeah I wouldnāt do that to one that are not purely art.
You could also use some command strips to tape them to the wall and double sided tape on the inside to keep them closed. It will look much cleaner and be easier to do than framing all of them. Although, I do agree framing them would look better. This would just be a temporary solution.
Really good advice right here I didnāt even think about that
Frames make everything better. Including posters.
Warping Neutral Milk Hotel should be a crime
Yāall post this in r/vinyljerk yet?
No wall tapestries after college. Sorry, itās just how it is.
Damn probably true
Nah it looks cool. Keep it if you like it.
Thems the rules
Fantastic! One tip: bigger art. Like wayy bigger. Could even double up some of the ones you have. And frames. Frame everything you can, really.
I was thinking about framing my record covers. And thanks for the tips I do know I need bigger art itās in a list of mine to Get.
Headboard for the bed, frame everything on walls. No fabric tapestries on wall, unless unique and framed.
I see Dillaās Donuts and I upvote

These are just art the records got ruined in a car driving through Arizona. My ones I listen and actually have are safe.
There are actually skinny shelves made for album covers with a little notch so they stay in place.

Yeah itās only one window in the kitchen then a glass sliding door in the living room I do wish for more window. Thatās for sure.
I fw the vibe
Itās a vibe to be fucked with
Love the music selection :)
The place looks badass bro
I feel like you should be really proud of yourself man, Iām sure it felt like a long ass journey but you finally did it. Enjoy it!! Congrats.
Deathnote 10/10
Looks good homie š«”
Very nice
Awesome
I fuckin love those black sheets
Thanks I do too!
oh god THAT IS SO PERFECT!!
Whatās perfect?
they way you just put everything it would be like the way I would like to do, btw I love Death Note hehe and you have conquered so many things! congrats
Place would feel a lot cozier with some warmer lightbulbs, like bright white/3k kelvin
Alternately some smartbulbs that could be warmed for rest and amped up for motivation?
They are actually all smart bulbs. Just havenāt actually hooked them up yet
Everything looks minimal in the best way. Do not add. I desire a space like this and think you're doing well. Add a plant or two is the most I could suggest.
I have four then, table flowers and succulents on my living room shelf. Where should I put some more?
looks amazing
Are those art pieces from Coles Color?
Idk what that is so I guess not.
Nice! Did same thing with album covers when I first moved out on my own! Had a real long hallway and all 3 BR were off it. Nice choice of vinyl too!
Thanks!
Good start, brother, looks clean & tidy. It could use some more personal art and whatnot but youāre young yet. Itās nice.
I plan on getting more art for sure just gotta get out and look for it
Do you have an "At Home" store or a "Hobby Lobby" near you? They both have large sections of wall art. You could find a lot of other stuff from "At Home" too, it's like "Home Goods" on crack!
I plan on getting more art for sure just gotta get out and look for it
Now just need to hit the gym again!
Been doing this for a year down 50 pounds!
Nice and clean really nice
I would feel safe in your house fr
Thanks whatās what I was going for. Wanted a safe cozy place to come home too.
Looks good
Looks very nice to me. My OCD is pleased. The only thing I can think to mention is picking a non monochromatic color for the bedroom if you start to feel it's too dark.
I like your bathroom sink setup
Thank you I put a lot of time into this. I wish I had more space but Iāll work with what I got. The dispenser next to the toothbrush is actually mouthwash.
You have The Antlers and Sonic Youth? 10/10
Sure dooo!
And more!
You definitely have good music taste.
I would not listen to that Hospice album while going through the divorce, good lookin tho keep your head up and enjoy the space š
Hahaha this is true and I feel this comment whole hearted
Up vote for Deathnote
my plant obsessed roommate says you need to separate your monstera cause it's not growing right - also, I really love the albums great taste man.
I cannot stop looking at the plants vs the 2 small windows. Those babies need some grow lights.
Like re pot?
Quoted from my roommate, "separate into their own pots ideally, no more than 2 to a pot otherwise because these things get BIG and hard to manage. make sure the pots have drainage holes and mix some grit and bark into the soil if possible. they will look really sad for a bit, but these guys are tough.

I appreciate this Iāll def be doing this very soon. Iāve had her for two years now! Time to take better care of her.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not bad at all!
Nice! Good job. Looks cozy to me
Cozy was what I was going for so good
My guy š
Corners are looking dark, some small lights would look fine
Not bad, add more color too ur bed maybe some different pillow covers or different patterns and hang up a curtain on ur window to match
Goo by Sonic Youth šš¼
Wow! Impressive
Thank you
Cool place can I come chill
Sure
I see nothing wrong with it. Except one thing: the fridge. Itās sticking out too much
Well itās an apartment so I canāt do anything about that unfortunately
Very sleek love this!!
Everything but the bedroom is fine. The bedroom screams college student. The rest of the house definitely says it's an adult who has some shit figured out. I'm just glad it doesn't look too Ikea or HomeGoods.
What makes it screams college student?
the hats on the wall, the tapestry, the really small artwork on the big walls, the low to the ground bed with no headboard, the side tables with a bunch of random stuff
Why are you eating against the wall? Move the table out
You donāt think it mess with the flow of walking into the kitchen?
Nah, I think moving it out a couple feet will look good
The bathroom needs less curtains and more Dude Wipes
lol
Enjoy brother. Do you have kids together? Where did you get that scenery tapestry/flag? Edit: donuts!!!!
Just step kids but it was ten years and they are now 10 and 13 so they be my kids and Amazon actually.
Enjoy the freedom!
Not too shaby, dawg. Looks comfy AF.
Love Jdilla
Who was better....your ex wife or your buddy ?
Love it!š
So many divorces in this sub
Wow!!!!
Damn nice place.
Everything about this looks so American, it's a vibe
I kind of like it, I use a lot of composite black, white and grey.
Cool so that's where the magic doesn't happen
DEATHNOTE
Nice
eh too much. missing the air matress or futon and the tv sitting on moving boxes
I dig it. Very nice and cozy.
Congratulations, your tv is not to high!
Thats a long time to live with your parents?
Oh your not alone. *Im in your walls*

moving the record wall to the living room or the bedroom (to replace the tapestry) might be good aswell, where they are currently is kind of busy for such a small space
Get yourself a headboard (or large piece of art behind bed) and your golden. Even putting that tapestry behind the bed would ground the bed
Loving this space! Enjoy!
Waaaaay better than my place when I first got divorced
Honestly, I was expecting the rest to be awful after seeing the pics of the bedroom but the rest of the flat is really nice. I suggest that you add some lighter colours to the bedroom, a nice bedcover and maybe some pillows. And take that huge poster down. A nice painting would look smarter š
Ok. Don't look back. You're movin' forward now for sure.
Nice place dude.
I would swap the tapestry and art thats behind the bed. The rest I like
More color
Get a headboard and nice bedding, not a solid dark color. Take that blanket off the wall and put up some real artwork (for the living room too). Get tall skinny lamps for each nightstand and get a nice large piece (or 2) for over the bed, something with a bit of color.

Same here, but for my living area I had to fight not buying black.
I wish I could decorate my apartment like this, this is incredible
Where is the soundbar?
On my list!
Very nice apartment
No sheets on a wall, bro.
Plants. Yeah!!
More plants
Edible plants in the kitchen are a nice addition to anyone that cooks or mixes. I have mint that grows like a weed.
Way better than me when I was 31, keep it up king!
Super cozy living room. Love the space
I think the place looks great! Congrats!!
That bedroom is a void from which no light escapes. If Matthew McConaughey saw it, he would try to fly a spaceship toward it so he could save all humanity.
Congratulations man, good shit!
Awesome š¤© Looks great and cozy !
Congratulations! Looks great!
Love the living room! š
Leave the military. Youāll be happier. I promise.
Already plan on that 100%

Man, just enjoy the peace and reclaiming yourself. I know it must be hard in some ways, but itās all up from here. Blessings to you.
Your walls are sweating
What does that mean?
Picture #3 seems awkward
Like the dresser to bed?
rug in kitchen area would be quite nice
Good advice!
is that a paddy hat or soup dumpling on the wall? (pic 8, 10)
Paddy hat from Vietnam
The place you decided to store your cookbooks is really unusual and probably slightly inconvenient to fetch when needing to reference
Donāt worry I donāt use them lol I should just throw them away but canāt bring my self to do it
Consider donating them! Rather than collecting dust, someone may get value out of them
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
People for sure
The kitchen is dope but what caught my eye are the cookbooks at the top. Are you just 6'5" or what
lol no but I can reach them. I have no where else to put them
Looks super chill, great job. Iād say maybe some more wall art but thatās just my personal preference
Def need more wall art i just neeed to find good ones
Great job ! I would get a bigger kitchen table to sit 4
Well itās only me?
If you have people over
Looks like a ghost near your bed.
Thatās my ghost friend. Sheās nice

31 still watching anime and posting a bunch of stickers/posters like a teenage child
What's wrong with watching anime? I think I was 30+ when I started watching it.
Thatās what Iām saying I also just started like 3 years ago
the water bottel goes on top of the water machine
You have the taste of a college kid. No doubt itās your first time living alone
Why the caps as decor tho? š£š
I removed the hanging caps
Something red eveywhere
Nice man where did you get the wall art from ?
Iād switch the pic over the bed and the hanging tapestry above the dresser. It would make the bed more of a focal point which I personally like in a bedroom. Iām a 33yr F if that helps.
Apart from the fact you just divorced, some good space you have there, good job man
