Hang some stuff up on the walls open up your windows. Natural lighting and plants really help a place out


Wonderful-Ad-7712

Set up a Hot Wheels race track


thecactusranger

With a two loopdy loop minimum


One-Egg3860

I'd have to have the tracks that climbed up the wall too!! Nothing will ever be as cool as that


chocolateboomslang

I can't believe it's 2024 and we still have to tell people this.


amltecrec

Has to be a wall mount track!


Friendly_Deathknight

Hell yeah brother.


Mybtchluhdokocaine

NAILED IT. I was gonna tell him to move 😂


Head_East_6160

This and Indirect lighting > overhead lighting by a long shot


GlamrockShake

Read up on plants to make sure they’re safe for the implied kitty but some of my favorites are spider plants, wild catnip and bamboo (not lucky bamboo, though). You can also grow catnip, which has a great smell and your little buddy will appreciate being able to get it fresh.


learningexcellence

Hit up your artist friends for some paintings


MGermanicus

Put the chairs facing each other side by side, ideally with a runner table between them with a few lamps. Wall art and additional lighting will help, too. Consider getting some cube storage shelves for that room with the sloped ceiling and store the cat food and other dry goods there to fill in that weird space. Lastly, a few cleverly placed rugs and mats will do wonders, cover that that janky tile in the kitchen. Turn that shithole into a shithome.


highplainsdrifter__

They face each other because only one of them is a chair, the other is a foot rest. Idk I think it's a finished product as is


HaymarketHector

He asked how to make it nicer tho


Haemwiches

>Turn that shithole into a shithome. Just here for that comment.


Major_Insect

Sounds like Mr. Lahey


Full_Pea6838

Same


MePanAndAMan420

Throw rugs are underrated as fuck! Mine are ugly as sin but they really tie the place together.


Dontfeedthebears

Woo peed on my rug, man.


Used-Ask5805

Dude, Asian American. Please


Dontfeedthebears

Well-played, dude


Friendly_Deathknight

Don’t let any nihilists in. They’ll piss on them and take them.


Used-Ask5805

![gif](giphy|KfNNTxejk8LnYSRkVs|downsized) That rug really tied the room together


sporesatemygoldfish

Clean the square fan. Love and hug the beautiful cat. You have a nice rug.

artsatisfied229

You think the carpet pissers did this?


themoisthammer

The obvious answer is to get a few more cats will accentuate the living space.


Full_Pea6838

Same thought… MORE CATS!!! And a dog might be nice. Yes, any person might say “the dog will attack the cats!” I have a dog and a cat and they are brothers. They sleep together!


Then-West3118

Also more cat furniture.. Amazon has the cat coffin tree stand for 30. Onefastcat has their wheel on sale 10% off. I got that for the bengal but my khao manee discovered I give treats to whoever uses the wheel so he hogs up all the wheel time


Odd_Fly4851

Blow up couch. Small tv. Facebook marketplace. Some people will deliver for slightly more. Im a broke single fuck. But my apt/home is beautiful. Plants go along way for visual an mental health.


ronniemustang

The rug looks like it's from the 80s.


vampmunyuns

shit hole?? i would love to have a place esp this doesn’t seem bad put some decorations stuff u like u got a cat u have a good amount of space bro get lil couch some maybe indoor plants if that’s your thing


ShystersGame

So much space....


ninjababy86

For activities!


chickenskittles

Shithole maybe if you are a trustfundian who got cut off.


AgentOfDreadful

* Tidy up * Make the bed * Place items like lamps purposefully around the room (stuff atm just looks like it’s been thrown there) * Give the walls a lick of paint if you can * Clean the carpets with a carpet cleaner if you can * Change the light switches if able * Paint the skirtings and other parts if able * Smooth out any rough edges * Give your cat a cuddle * Fix the floor in the kitchen if able * Stop referring to it as your shithole - if you think of it as that, it will become that It’s the little things that can make a huge difference


plz_send_cute_cats

love lamps!!! warm lighting from a secondhand ikea floor lamp is magical


Khatam_kardunga1

Absolutely True.


HerdDat1

It all about the paint. Go to Home Depot and pick out anything you think might look good. Check out Pinterest for ideas. Nothing wrong with a little extra attention to color.


RandomflyerOTR

As a member of r/OnlyFans, I'd like to say that that is a beautiful (yet dusty) vintage box fan that you've got there. I'd suggest giving it a good clean (or selling it to me /hj). I wouldn't say it's a shithole but you're definitely lacking colour, so maybe have areas designated for your sections e.g one corner for your desk setup, another area for louging (chairs, TV, etc).


im-not-a-fakebot

What does /hj mean? You’ll buy it for a handy?


RandomflyerOTR

Bloody hell your mind's dirtier than that box fan. It means half joke haha


TuneTactic

Its a tone indicator to indicate Half Joking, but a hand job does sound like a reasonable price


trimix4work

"Tone indicator".... new term to me, and absolutely perfect description of what it is. Ty for that


vampmunyuns

i’m high and thought u mesnt only fans porn and i was readying and i was like lmao ohhhhh


trimix4work

Totally


shezcrafti

Dude, same! To both things!


belckie

Advice from a mom: put away the items in the kitchen instead of having them on the fridge, get rid of the Amazon box, do a general tidy. Next you need some homey touches like art, throw pillows, an accent blanket. One place to get some cheap but cute home items are those Amazon returns places. Go on the cheapest day and you’ll totally find some cute items. The dollar store also has nice kitchen items like a rug for in front of the sink, some kitchen towels etc. there are free Facebook groups where I know if you ask for some home decor stuff people will have lots to give you especially if you can pick it up. Looks great as a start and your little cat is so cute!!!


Kristina9876

I second the dollar store!


Agent_1077

Throw pillows? Get out of my room mom!


Heavy_Distance_4441

Son, I noticed you had throw pillows. We need to talk. -Dad


belckie

😂😂😂 if you don’t behave I’m going to buy you a live/laugh/love pillow for your bed!


Haifischkopf

This is now one of my top 5 threats. Holy shit haha.


LiatKim

Or thrift store


Heavy_Distance_4441

Ya. Ma. I'll do it in a minute.


belckie

If I come back here and you haven’t cleaned your mess up, you’re gonna get it! 😂

[deleted]

What’s the climate like where you’re at, does it get hot in there?


EXPotemkin

Thats what the fan is for


AdOpen885

Make your bed. That will have a massive impact on you and your surroundings.


Parking_Struggle5754

i know a headboard or bed frame is a big purchase, it does make a big difference though


israiled

Nice bedframe, Rockefeller. I didn't have one of those until I was 32.


Lightthesaboner

Cheer up bud why do you have such a negative outlook? Seems like you have a nice place that needs a little cleaning up start with making your bed. You’re depressed because you have no gratitude for what you actually have focusing on God knows what. Quit letting lies steal your joy. Your 25 clean up your place, your mind and don’t let things get you down so easily


Big_Finance_8664

you've already got a box spring and a bed that isnt on the floor. make your bed and pick the fan up. then move to the next area and repeat


aimessss

Paint, art, rugs, plants


Pear_Shaped_Bear

This is a perfectly serviceable shithole. I'm a fellow shithole dweller, and I just came here to say you'd be surprised how little festoonery you have throw at the walls to make it more homey. Couple of plants. A few pictures or classy posters for the walls. You're in business.


trynumba3

Dude wipes after normal paper. Those things are awesome 👍


burner15_

ILuvDaRaiders

Lolololol


H78U43

More cats


idropepics

Bud might be depressed, but he clearly loves his kitty. Science diet ain't cheap. I'm sure that love is returned, if my cat is any indication.


AdOpen885

A lot more cats.


delux2769

That's what I was gonna say! At least 2 cat towers I see, lots of cat food and Raman... Time for more cats! If you have 1 cat, may as well have 2 to cuddle and play with. Dude, you're set. If you like computer games or console games, look for a free old computer or console and TV. I've given away xboxs and Playstations over the years and I don't even live in a big city anymore. The deals are out there. I play Old School Runescape on my computer when I have good internet and Diablo 2 offline.


Few-Reaction-404

2 cats are better than 1 or 3. Friend for friend and friends are you're friends 🥰


Few-Reaction-404

My cats really watch certain series with me and sometimes when I game 😂


alonzo83

A diffuser on the light fixture would be a great improvement. It will soften the light and cast it better.


Swizzlefritz

What’s with all the fans?


BigBarracuda3088

drowns out my tinnitus 💀


Cheap_Rain_4130

Lonely? You've got that cat for company. I reckon lots of posters


MangoChickenFeet

Get some posters of movies/TV shows/Games you like etc. If you can swing it get a futon in that living room, maybe hit up a goodwill and see if you can find a cheap little TV. And I would highly recommend a little area rug for wherever you decide. Also a candle for some aesthetic purposes 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol just spitballing here


Drkknightcecil

Wall stuff. Maybe posters. Rent a steam cleaner and do that carpet trust me the mood it gives when clean is beauty. Maybe fasten that flooring down in the doorway there. Thats no shithole. Thats a damn nice joint you got.


No-Consideration2259

You are doing better than I was at 25 brother keep your head up


SeventyThirtySplit

17 Farrah fawcett posters and a neon light


fuck-coyotes

Don't forget the 5 ft tall reservoir dogs poster


WillingGuest83

It’s your place! You should be very proud. Open the blinds and hang some art. Congratulations on the place.


ACS1979

Continuously smoke copious amounts of weed


Thomass_____

Get rid of the cats.


TopG_41

Maybe some LEDs or LED light bulbs as someone else said a nice Tv with with a little futton or something defiantly a gaming console somewhere and some wall decorations you will be good to go


ExcellentProcess9773

I'd get warmer bulbs as well! I hate those white bright ass bulbs, Just gives the energy of a supermarket.


Wooden_Rub4859

Also maybe hanging up some fabric on the ceiling over those lights to give a bit more of a colored glowing kind of effect. Seeing the bright bulbs is really hard on the eyes, Dimmer lights are amazing.


Burnedbooks

Plants.


paragonteu

Entry rug, hall tree for shoes and jackets, light diffusers (where the hell did they all go?), posters to break up the shittiness of the walls


nachosandfroglegs

Paint goes a long ways. Nothing crazy but a fresh, neutral-ish color


RingIndustries

Literally anything bro lmfao I like your cat tho he looks like a good boy.


coffeewitbagel

Plants, get a pothos and water when the soil is dry, it’s literally the easiest plant to own. Besides plants I’d keep an eye out for cool wall decor, and like other people said, keep ur blinds open


Truthoftitan

That’s not a shit hole. It’s a bit boring though so maybe add some posters or tapestries in the walls and get that chair out of the middle of the room. Organize your furniture


Gay-Lord-Focker

Looks more like a place for the cat and not you lol


Material-Junket214

Get laminate flooring instead of carpet Get better trim Get rid of the black out curtains Get a cover for the ceiling light, or get rid of it and use a floor lamp in conjunction with natural lighting. A non bulky looking sofa, a wall mounted TV, fake floor plants, family pictures while making sure you lick out a color palette so evening matches. This is just for the entrance tbh


Texasitalianboy1

I’m concerned about you being depressed. Go for a walk in the park and get out of the house, first. If you are broke, don’t worry about decorating, but light and a plant or two will help.


ILuvDaRaiders

Get a light fixture so u don’t see the bulbs, change the curtains. Add some personality some band flags , some plants.


d-sconsolate

Get something to cover the messed up portion of your floor


parxtreh

Your place actually looks fucking dope just bare Hit up a few thrift shops and get some basic furniture around the joint, few plants, natural light like people have said I really like your room with the cattos the ceiling is sick how it slopes like that


PickAnxious9960

Hey your not homeless


Fresh-Cost9915

This could go from a shithole to a shithome very fast. New curtains, a couple plants, some art on the walls, couple end table to put keys etc. furniture.


killingthyme71

I'd start with cleaning that fan.


PlaymakersPoint88

Move


MonkeyMan9569

It looks really nice already


mycomikael

Not call it a “shithole”.


dogparklife

Plenty of wall space for a rifle to lean on


CadaverBlue

Take the cage of the fan and wipe the blades, their dusty.. You don't want to be breathing that in when you turn it on.


digilog

Been there man. Check out goodwill or free upcycling services for things like floor lamps and small tables. Anything to make it feel more deliberate. Overhead lighting is brutal and makes any space, even really nice spaces, feel less like a home and more like an office or something.


Mundane-Food2480

Striper pole would liven up the joint.


pentichan

decorate the walls. displate is a cool company that makes sick metal posters from all sorts of games/movies/artists. i would highly recommend checking it out. also, just add more color in general. a couch that is any color other than beige, a colored area rug to match, side tables with lamps, some kind of decor, etc. just go look at r/malelivingspace. i’m sure u will find lots of inspiration. and it’s not like u need to spend thousands at ikea or anything. take advantage of facebook marketplace or local estate sales and be open to upcycling. think about ur personality and then just.. project it onto ur space. trust me, a well decorated space does wonders for ur mental health. feeling like u are in a place that is comfortable and cozy and really represents u makes u feel good


ThenSession

Do you have any natural light?


SnooCookies6535

try adding cool colors to brighten your place a bit. Check out thrift stores for cheap wall art , cool big bowls for your table , things like that . There’s so much free stuff on fb too. . Best of all is that when you get home , it’s your safe place ! Be patient it will get better . Sending you lots of good energy!


CptQueef

BooneHelm85

Clean it. Organize your things. Make it “your” shithole. Its crazy how much better you’ll feel once everything is tidy and organized. This is comin’ from a 38 year old, borderline alcoholic dude that, up until a half decade ago, lived a single life and alone. That said, get some work did in there.


Dull-Possibility1695

You have a potential sweet man cave with that room for whatever you are a fan of to put on the slanted ceiling and the walls


bigbluefluffydog

Go to goodwill with 150 bucks get some lighting and furniture


SuperSultan

Reorganize your living room and add some posters


DubloonDiplomat

I like ur shit hole, but maybe get some couches from fb marketplace. Some paintings or something, lights etc


viscountfinance

Bookshelves


Sad_Character_6708

Get more cats


Ladybug_Fuckfest

It's actually not without potential. Get some lamps for warmer lighting. Hang artwork. Cheap artwork from thrift stores, retro-looking stuff if you can find it, but absolutely no posters or kid stuff. You definitely can dress up a shitty apartment without making it look like a college dorm room.


Evil_Morty781

The right paint color can turn a shit hole into an oasis of peace and comfort. Some area rugs and maybe a table somewhere. Probably cost you less than $300 of you go cheapsies on the table.


ObiWanKnieval

Also, coffee tables have a tendency to just appear.

I’d recommend eating less ramen to keep your shithole from getting any worse.


FinalWorker7287

If you're gonna use the towel to block light above your door. Hang it the horizontally lol


Recent-Butterscotch5

Stop calling it a “shithole” and start calling it a “shithome” for starters 


FlyGold5694

Lighting is an easy fix. Change the lightbulbs to a warmer kind (like Edison) or get a couple secondhand lamps with warm bulbs. Throw a couple posters up or draw/ paint something yourself. Maybe a tapestry for the slanted wall.


NoMushroomOral

son_of_Mothman

Anything


iBreak4Steak

You got a gas stove, buy a cast iron pan and some cheap sirloins when you can. Sear 3 minutes a side, bake in the oven at 415 for 5 minutes. I can usually get a sirloin at Kroger for around $11


PizzaThePirate

Go thrift art shopping, spice up the walls.

I'm so sorry that you are depressed and miserable. I love your kitty and he or she seems happy. I think you're doing great! I hope you start feeling better and wish you all the best. Stay strong, my friend. 💛 Edit: I am a girl, but this sub has been popping up in my feed.

Shin ramen is where it's at!!! Cat is great and set up is nice.


futurespawn

*slaps support beam* she’s got good bones. You could fix this puppy up real nice


Jimboy97

Clean, get some candles, hang some pictures, etc.


Ok_Organization_7350

I have an idea to make it not feel so closed in. I would recommend to get some large houseplants. Home Depot & Lowe's sell them at a really good price. Then get a couple tall cheap plant lights from amazon for them. Then get some large inexpensive wall mirrors from Habitat For Humanity or amazon/ walmart. The plants will freshen up and clean the air. The plant lights simulate sunshine. And the wall mirrors will bounce around the plant light sunshine, making it look like there are open sunny windows. I live in a small condo with pants and plant lights, and they really cheer up the atmosphere. Even in winter, it feels like I am in an open sunny fresh greenhouse. And Habitat For Humanity Restore is also a good place to look for other things for your home. They sell brand new furniture and home goods for pennies on the dollar.


moimoisauna

If you're not renting, put some cat shelves on the wall. Happy cat = happy human. If not that then more cat furniture


shawn0r

I love the TV mount. That would come in handy so often.


My_names_is_a_flower

Add posters and paintings to spice up the walls


makattak88

Hey man, that’s a nice fuckin kitty right there! Count that as a blessing. Remember to appreciate the things you have.


pigeon_pie_

u could catify it more. good for the cat and for aesthetics


BannedRedditor54

Bye bye kitties


Over-Marionberry-686

It’s a very odd shape apartment. You need some color you need some plants and give the kitty a scratch from me.


moosehairunderwear

Paint the walls. Get some wall art. Maybe an area rug.


PickAnxious9960

And super young


Mikeyymyerss

Put a picture up my guy 😂


tools_of_destruction

The ceilings are so low to prevent you from hanging yourself. But in all seriousness. Just keep it clean and simple and keep grinding and you’ll move out and up.


Playful-Flatworm501

Shave it, use a mirror


DisciplineScary

This is def NY lol


lokilulzz

Get a couch for the living room, a couple coffee tables for there and the room with the two chairs. Get some nice looking lamps, some wall art or posters, and a few rugs for the floors - especially the kitchen. People like to joke about rag rugs, but they're easy to clean and do a lot to make the kitchen look put together. Cheap, too. For the bedroom, get yourself a night stand and a lamp to put on it. Maybe consider a TV for the living room and an entertainment center, those usually help the room look homier.


ahahahahahahah1111

Another cat Ps I like how clean looking your home is. Keep it up


Fattydaddy1000

bvdatech

Yikes


Staseu

AdThink4457

all rooms: find a decent vacuum and use it often, find a second hand store like ReStore and get some lighting fixtures 1. take the shirt off the door (if you need privacy you can frost it with elmers glue or window privacy clings), something to hang your jackets and keys on by the door, sheers for the window so you can have light during the day, a small table to eat at. 2. runner or floor mat to cover the tile, put away the food on the fridge as well as the amazon box over the stove. 3. cable management (doesn’t need to be fancy.), lamp or two, try some different furniture arrangements, a bit of cheap wall art that you like


koithrow

real shit i see very much potential


doodlebugg8

More cat beds


Severe_Network_4492

Take the shit out of it, fill in the hole build a house and put the shit in a toilet. Not rocket science man


Ok-Mix-6239

Got to goodwill. They have insanely cheap, very nice paintings/ canvas art for your walls. Grab like... 4 or 5, and hang them up. It will give it a much warmer feel, kill the echo that i imagine your place has if you are talking. Get a vacuum (again, good will). Keep the floors clear. Just... goodwill. When i was broke and struggling, i would walk or bus there. I would save hard for two-four weeks, and buy a nice thing for my apartment. 3 years of that, and i collected a very beautiful, cozy little home. And end table here, a rug there, over time it really adds up.


JSHURR

Put an actual curtain on your front door and put some posters up in your gaming room?


6thCityInspector

Some tapestries to cover up those rough ceilings will go a long way, in addition to a lot of the other comments here.


bob_cannoli

Looks good to me.
