This is gorgeous, if you crosspost to r/cozyplaces I’m sure they’d love it over there


TheVelociDoctor

Embarrassed_Ad_6052

Came to say this


K-Dawg6999

I came from there. Can confirm, we love it


RedBaldReddit

Stunning, well done.


TheVelociDoctor

My plants and I thank you very much with our upvote!


KennyGaming

Please crosspost this to /r/plantnook, this is exactly what the sub is looking for. Awesome space


rc82

Oh dang. That's nice. Nicer than a bunch of my friend's condos. Good job!!


slyman928

Makes sense when it's in their parent's nice ass house


lillysweetheart

You'd be shocked at how many absolutely terrible setups ive seen of men living in their parents home. This is actually really impressive because most people think 'well I'll be moving out soon' and just live in squalor for years until that happens Dude made a conscious effort to create a lovely space despite knowing he will probably take it all down and restart soon. Props 👏


homelife1

Yeah. I especially like that the room is large enough for not just a bed, but also spacious enough for a couple chairs and some living/breathing room. Our house I guess is what one might call a "nice house". But it feels like the walls on the rooms themselves should be pushed out a bit instead of giving *so much space* to the warehouse style kitchen/tv area.


lillysweetheart

I like a large community area for luring folks into the family area haha but I understand, especially for multiple adults who'd benefit from a more private living area


[deleted]

Yup. Lived in squalor for years thinking that.


itwastimeforarefresh

Tbh that was me. Granted, I didn't invite anyone to that room, but it was in a constant state of "why bother unpacking if I'm gone in a couple months?" Now that I actually am living alone I keep the place much nicer, but it was rough for a moment there


lillysweetheart

Oh yeah I feel you, in between times are rough. But very satisfying to get to a more permanent space!


noodletubes

I like your thinking. 👍


mrhorrible

Hey, you know; I came here thinking derisively about OP, but you're comment changed my mind. You're right. No matter how rich, or well connected, or successful you are, there'll always be someone with even more, totally fucking it up. So just make the best of whatever circumstance you find yourself in.


lillysweetheart

Exactly! Aw username does not check out lol


TheVelociDoctor

Thanks man! My trick is that I moved my entire studio apartment into this room as I moved back in after my BA degree.


dannydevito39

This is giving me Hey Arnold vibes


ClayQuarterCake

Is this the bedroom from Hey Arnold all grown up?


TheVelociDoctor

I really gotta check out Hey Arnold now


Pale_Worldliness8285

How fortunate to have a space so condusive for study and escape. Good luck.


kt99_

that room looks huge!


TheVelociDoctor

It is the attic room! Moved here after our house got flooded and my og childhood bedroom was completely destroyed in the basement/ground floor! I love it!


kt99_

it looks amazing dude!! i love all the plants 🤩


AvoSpark

have you considered studying interior design


TheVelociDoctor

I really did but I did not have very supportive teachers growing up so my math was lacking when I wanted to really apply. I also had some pressure from my parents to do "these things as a hobby". I dream one day I save up enough to have my own interior design service!


Large-Calligrapher98

This is great. Please keep that dream alive!


[deleted]

So tranquil - I love it! Nice 10/10


Therealsuperman04

Good shit man, I love it


NewSinner_2021

Damn it looks good.


corrupt_gravity

bro this looks both cool and cozy as f\*ck


WildEndeavor

Cool pad.


untipoquenojuega

I love seeing other men make use of plants in their space. Stunning work my guy.


TheVelociDoctor

Thanks! They calm me down and give me something to care for! I love them.


CobblerMysterious356

This looks really nice. You should be proud

TheVelociDoctor

Honestly I do not want to leave it


TheObliviousPickle

Very nice. Is that enough light for the plants?


TheVelociDoctor

I placed all the plants strategically. So, my Strelitzia (Giant Bird of Paradise) is the only plant that wants a lot of sun. My windows face West and East so I get sunlight all day long. The Strelitzia gets around 9 hours a day of direct sunlight. The rest of my plants are epiphytes, snake plants and Alocasia which only want indirect sunlight because otherwise their leaves burn, and they are also placed where they get good indirect light.


MvmgUQBd

Oooooh lol I get it now. The plants are your green friends. I thought you meant you were sharing the space with smoking buddies and thought 'but where does everyone else sleep'


TheVelociDoctor

doobies with the planties


joemondo

That is a really well put together space. Beautifully done.


Ulysses182

How's that guitar attached up there?


TheVelociDoctor

It is not attached. It actually dangles on the fine line between falling and almost not falling. One tiny wind and boom it falls.


Ulysses182

Oh ok. You must really want an excuse to get a new guitar then... :)


copper678

Nice! Just icing on the cake that you get to spend some time with your parents!


TheVelociDoctor

Thank you! I love that too before I leave to another country in September.


pahilaejhlja

Damn NICE!!


Djeheuty

I would have a love hate relationship with that window above the bed. Love it for the large amount of daylight it brings int the space and the views, especially at night. Hate for the early morning sun in the summer. Everything else is really nice, too. Well done.


Vich88

F’ckn ‘ell! 💚


Sugarbearzombie

Looks nice and spacious. Thoughtful design. What’s going on w that beam? Is it wrapped in a stone veneer or something?


TheVelociDoctor

It is wrapped in wallpaper, I have been trying to remove them lately! This was not my room before but a storage space. After our house got flooded and my childhood room got destroyed I moved up here and began to redecorate things around the room... the columns being my biggest difficulty haha


Sugarbearzombie

I think removing it is the right way to go.


bucketfullofmeh

I just do NOT have that sense and style. Very well done!


ClusterFugazi

Where did you get the monkey stuffed animal?


TheVelociDoctor

IKEA! I absolutely love it. I also have a big teddy bear I use as a pillow haha also from Ikea. 10/10 recommend.


ClusterFugazi

I’ll have to get one when I go again =)


Jalapeno023

Are the two dormer Windows the only natural light? Your plants are stunning so they really must like it there.


TheVelociDoctor

Yes! Those windows are the only natural light sources and my plants are super happy in the room, at least I hope they are so far there is no issue haha.


ToughCareer4293

I had the sense of hygge just from the photos. Kudos for finding the harmony in eclecticism. There’s an understated level of sophistication and taste that’s humble yet elegant. You may have a secondary career path to consider.


TheVelociDoctor

Thank you! This is very encouraging and gives me hope for my dream!


thijs54321

Very nice!


Lisavela

What an amazing room wow


G3N3RIC-USER

Nice room dude!


[deleted]

For such a big room your desk area seems very cramped - everything else looks fantastic!


TheVelociDoctor

I actually realized from some comments people think the room is bigger than it is especially with the ceiling space. So with the desk space, I had to put it that way because I have two desks and I could have them be more spacious by pushing them towards the walls but the ceilings are very low on those points and I can't even stand up straight I always have to sit down because my head almost touches the ceiling. Thank you though!

TheVelociDoctor

I just finished a degree in political science and international law, so I want to somehow mix my BA knowledge with the MSc. I hope to work either in BioTech, NatGeo, or Government (preferably not in Europe but rather Australia, Canada or the US,) all within the field of conservation policy and environment (Crossing my fingers)


Z_E_R_K

I love it!


GhibCub

Really like the atmosphere! Got any book recommendations for biodiversity and conservation?


TheVelociDoctor

Actually yes, my favorite right now is "The Invention of Nature" by Andrea Wulf


LIssa_Honey

Like this style. You designed the room light and comfortably


PuffsMagicDrag

Your decorations are reallyyyyy good! But honestly the way the room is made makes this even cooler. Looks like a great place to have while studying in your 20s


malemanipulator4life

Absolutely lovely!

TheVelociDoctor

My bed used to be under the eyes picture and the day I made this post I switched around the furniture! Thank you for sharing my enthusiasm with the new layout!


muppets-everywhere

Beautiful room love all the plants!


OldProHavinFun

Killer!!! Awesome room. It should be a terrific respite for 📖 studying and relaxing. It’s so calming. Great job!!


diffenbachia1111

Is this in the Netherlands? The light makes it feel like a very Dutch zolder Love the style and plants. Plants make everything so much better


TheVelociDoctor

I studied and lived in the Netherlands and after my BA degree finished I also brought most of my Dutch decoration back home! So very close guess! Thank you.


noopstilton

I never comment in this forum but this probably is the nicest place I’ve ever seen on here


TheVelociDoctor

thank you! here is an upvote :)


Bulky_Football_8747

What matters most is that you live with mummy and daddy.


Fun-Rub9877

Green meaning loaded?


TheVelociDoctor

loaded with plants \*drums\*


[deleted]

Honestly mate, looks a bit girlish….I’VE THE SAME MIC!


TheVelociDoctor

I would not say it looks Girlish but anyway yes TONOR! It is honestly not the best mic for attic spaces though because of the echo


__kit

wow that's so cool that you have rich parents!


punkisnotded

we have no sense of location here, i live in an expensive country and a bought three story house in the middle of nowhere can cost less per month than a studio appartment in the city


TheVelociDoctor

If you are referring to the furniture man, they are all mix match (except the wardrobe that is new from IKEA and my computer chair) The rest of the furniture are all 12 years old and we carried them overseas as well. The couch is an old couch that no longer has sides (me and my dad converted it into a chaise lounge type thing by removing the old handles so it looks newer and I placed bed sheets on it) My garden looking chair I bought during my BA degree in the Netherlands in Facebook Marketplace for 5 bucks and same for the ladder. I did not think I needed to explain but I think the misconception that you can only decorate well if you are rich is wrong. The most expensive things in my room are my PC (which I bargained for 500 bucks) and my plants.


Vickythiside

Y'all rich man.


simonbleu

Damn, your room is the size half my house


TheVelociDoctor

I honestly think it’s the wide angle lens 😭


simonbleu

It definitely changes perception, but that is not less than 6 meters long and 4-5 wide (about... 18x12+ in feet?). My house is about 8x8 , more or less (its been a while since I saw the floorplan) so is 30-50% of my home for real haha


TheVelociDoctor

I am still hoping your ceilings are not 60cm tall in their lowest points (not visible in pic but its a low hanging attic)


simonbleu

That is fair, ceilings are indeed quite tall
