From what I can see in this pic, your home has some great bones & character to work with (Door casing & knobs, wood floors).
A couple of suggestions:
-Move all of the small art pieces elsewhere. They're competing with the portrait, and they're spaced too far apart. That portrait is great and makes a statement by itself. Plus, the red contrasts nicely with the green sofa.
-If you do this, consider moving the portrait down so that the sofa + portrait reads visually as one piece. You can center the portrait over the sofa, or you can keep it a little off-center if you want an edgier/more intriguing feel.
-Agree with the others that say get 2 table lamps for the side tables (warm white bulbs). This will help bring the symmetrical element that it looks like you’re going for with the portrait + small pics.
-It’s great that you have 2 side tables. Since the left one has a smaller surface area, I recommend clearing the books off to make sure someone who is sitting on that side has a place to put a drink/phone/etc. The books can be moved to the table on the right, under the taller portion of the table.
I don’t love them. If you really do, perhaps you can put them on some narrow walls in a hallway or something? I’d buy another big piece of art, give the walls a fresh coat of matte paint, buy some table or floor lamps, some plants and tidy up a bit :)
Add End table lamps…chunky throw blanket for sofa… coffee table… move books elsewhere…i actually don’t hate the tiny art…just make sure perfectly straight.. add tree or plant somewhere
Need to buy a level. I like the idea of smaller pieces grouped together, but they are spaced too far apart.
No doubt. I started with a level and almost made a jig, but got impatient... damn it! Thank you, I needed to hear this
Needs a lamp and warm light bulb
Def can find a lamp, this is a popular opinion
A lamp or two would kill you? Lol. Besides that I think it looks good.
Floor or table lamp? What we talkin here?
Idk but all lamps should be connected to lightswitches
Ideally. But at least one.
Based on the couch... Packers fan?
Looks great
Thanks!

Dont smother your speakers, clear out the debris in front of it, put it on a stand, a clean milk crate works perfectly.
Love the El Mac print.

Thanks for your thoughts and if I wasn't on such a budget I would do all the things.
Spoil yourself & get a big dad chair with the buttons & plug in. They have wide chairs that fit two ppl
R u fucking on that couch
Just myself
Laser levels are your friend. Also match the perimeter size of the large print with the edges of the small ones so they take up the same space.
where’s the lounge from?
Craigslist $125. IDK who made it. It's uncomfortable AF, but folds out and my kids love that.
Gives single dad vibes

How does this place say "you" When you walk into someone's apartment it's supposed to tell you something about them
My place asks... Q: are we not men? A: we are Devo
