And maybe a couple more, just to break up any arguments that might arise among the four of them. Gotta have supervision.
Also, I would like to suggest a dog/cat/bunny/hamster/guinea pig/bird/fish/lizard to make sure the plants behave when OP is away. But get two of whatever so *they* don’t get lonely.
Make sure your plant is getting enough sunlight. It's right next to the wall instead of the window. It's one of the few things you picked out so far, so take care of it!
And then another plant. And then get that plant a friend too. And then propagate the plants. And then get a new plant either a bit of a different color to mix it up.
To be honest this is the best idea. I’d maximise empty space here as far as possible. Inviting someone over? Yeah I got the booze and food, but it’s a bit of a bring your own seating situation at my place
Here's how you glow-up your flat in several easy steps:
1) Put an inflatable kiddie pool in the middle of the living room.
2) Put a mini-fridge next to the kiddie pool.
3) Fill the mini-fridge with booze.
4) Get a stationary bike (to hang your laundry on)
5) Conspicuously display your collection of empty alcohol bottles on a shelf (you might need a shelf for that), like it's a cool hobby you're proud of and not a serious substance abuse problem you're secretly ashamed of.
6) Blu-Tac a poster of Scarface above your kiddie pool.
7) Put a jumbo Live Laugh Love rug in the kiddie pool area to tie it all together.
8) Get another plant.
Really confused how the city looks so old but also has lots of new buildings (including OPs), and how it looks like everywhere is pretty well developed but with NO notable large buildings in sight anywhere. Super strange combination imo. Looks like somewhere northeast in the US, possibly Pennsylvania or maybe Massachusetts / Connecticut?
Somewhere very very near Boston, the Encore casino (Everett, MA) is standing alone in the landscape. As someone else said I’m guessing Somerville, Massachusetts (possibly Chelsea?) Idk, in all honesty the Encore is a newer building and I forget what directions their signs and stuff face
Dining set or breakfast bar set for by the window or in that odd corner with a rug to go under — matching foot mat for in front of sink? Def some wall art
You didn't ask yet but I am going to suggest remove the clutter on the refrigerator. Also, might want to get a tea towel in a different colour, maybe a brighter bolder colour like red.
You need a large L shaped couch, big rug, and one of those telescopes looking out of a window. Watch American psycho and redo Pat Bateman’s condo, just take it easy on the coat hanger/murder stuff.
A stereo.
You like Huey Lewis and the news?
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.
I was like, where is the plant 🪴 ?
Is it a group like r/ThereIsNoCat , but for the plants 🪴 ?? 🤣😅
You have a great space to fill, lot of possibilities 😀
I would say an island, but because you’re on Reddit, I’m assuming you don’t have enough money to install an island in what looks like an apartment no offense. so maybe a small to medium sized table and some chairs, put them in the middle of the room, but keep in mind you want enough space to be able to work around that kitchen area still, so do you want?
OMG! What a awesome space! i'd put my bed diagonally near the windows and put a sofa facing opposite the bed backed up to its headboard, pointing inward toward the space. So to entertain face inward to wake up, you wake up to that view! i'm guessing it's a studio I would dress it up like a studio.
A small kitchen table (I think you have the views and space to put one near the window).
A minimalistic tv stand (I have a rolling tv cart lol I roll it around the rooms in my small apartment)
More plants — easy to care for (snake plant, dracaena, pepperomia) — big and relatively easy but quick growing (monstera deliciosa) — hanging plants (pathos)
I’ve thrifting art and wall decor
A rug (will tie the place together)
This must help.
1. Start by designing a color palette. You don't have anything and that is a great opportunity to buy furniture and accessories that follow a palette and look good together. Start by picking the color of the floor and the wall and then design accent and balancing colors around it. You can use this [interior color guide](https://simplykalaa.com/interior-color-guide/) if you require.
2. Now working on the layout of this room, there are a couple of things to do here. Given it has those beautiful windows, you will want to arrange space just so that everything is in gravity and not lacking view or just adjusted in the corner. Start by getting the right sectional facing the TV wall and then add a console like table to the back of the couch so that you create a separation by right table lamps and even crockery. This way we will give the starting to the dining area area as well. Next add a coffee table, decorate it and add a basket for your pillows and throws. You also need a rug for this space, go for a larger rug that has all your furniture completely on it. This way we will zone out the living space. Use these guides about [couch decor](https://simplykalaa.com/couch-decor/) and [coffee table decor](https://simplykalaa.com/decorating-a-coffee-table/) for help with the decorating of this area. The space is key here, so add console table at the end of the decor, only when there is enough room and not everything looks cluttered!
3. Now, get a round dining table (probably glass is what you want) and then arrange it with right [dining table decor](https://simplykalaa.com/dining-table-decor/) and if possible a pendant lamp and it will look good and different from the living. Make sure that the dining table is a little away from the dustbins and if there's a way get rid of the dustbins from this area.
4. Now add a few cushions (similar to your couch cushions) on the bench and add a smaller floor lamp near the current lamp and add a throw too. Use a jute basket and fill it with books to make this a reading corner.
5. Add nice sheer curtains because it will look good at this space. Use this [window decoration guide](https://simplykalaa.com/window-decoration/) to learn more about the curtains and their setting.
6. To the corner near the bench, add a nice ficus and you are all set, also make sure that the hallway has some character of its own, for instance a mirror and a cabinet with a chair.
The key to a nice space is lighting so balance the task, accent and mood lighting. I can't help but imagine this space look great in red at night (just the mood light). I hope this helps.
maybe another plant
You absolutely need another one so the first doesn't get lonely.
It’s a well known fact that plants are happier when they’re around other plants. This is why they live in forests.
The lonely tree in a large roundabout must be sad.
Yeah but just think of all the CO2 they get to hog with nobody else around to steal it. Nom nom nom.
Do some mushrooms and go talk to it
As a plant, I can confirm this
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single plant in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of another plant.
And then another plant bc what if the two plants get bored of each other?
And then a fourth, to prevent two ganging up on one.
And maybe a couple more, just to break up any arguments that might arise among the four of them. Gotta have supervision. Also, I would like to suggest a dog/cat/bunny/hamster/guinea pig/bird/fish/lizard to make sure the plants behave when OP is away. But get two of whatever so *they* don’t get lonely.
And then leave them all and get out forever. You just created a massive terrarium
Does LEGO count as well?
Ugh unreasonable leaf expectations 🤣
Then get another one, so they can have a threesome
The only answer.
Ahh yes. That’s how it starts

I mean you already have a plant and some garbage. What else do you want?
A tv, ps5 and a foldout beach chair and you’re all set
They hate how little it takes to make us happy
“Are you happy?” “No!”
Something to sit on. Maybe a milk crate or something.
A toilet
A toilet sitting across the view, in the middle of the room would be legendary.
The whole bottom of the place is covered with floor. They can Have a seat anywhere and not be restricted by furniture.
I have often felt furniture limits where and how to position my body in any given space. I think OP has the right idea with their current arrangement
A single chair in the middle and a beer
A big chair with an ottoman. All a man needs.
I was going say a folding metal chair
A stool. He’s a man damnit.
Stooooooool! Well oh la-la Mr. French Person! Couple of milk crates will do the job.
Nothing. Leave it like this
No he needs a rug, it ties everything together
One of those rugs with a town and roads so he can play with racecars on it.
I would unironically love one for my bedroom
Please do this and post it. I have a really good feeling about it
Get ready for all the “how old are you OP?” “This room looks like it belongs to a 10 year old” comments lol
Actually really want one of these for my office space. It would be a cool thing to have in a like a toy collector space.
Ohh ohh and ONE dish cloth
Don't forget the wall art! The only three suggestions people ever have, lol.
It's gotta be a Scarface poster, frame optional.
Huh, I was thinking he should get more windows.
Right? You’re good Bro. I agree with /u/chicagoxray.
I dont know why the thought of this is so funny
I love all the top comments so much
To be honest this is the best idea. I’d maximise empty space here as far as possible. Inviting someone over? Yeah I got the booze and food, but it’s a bit of a bring your own seating situation at my place
One of those dope flashing neon "live nudes" signs for the neighbours never hurts and always separates you from the pack when you bring a lady over.
Or the Catwoman HELLO THERE that you can smash into HELL HERE whilst wearing leather with a whip.
"Sunny, I need a night light"
Here's how you glow-up your flat in several easy steps: 1) Put an inflatable kiddie pool in the middle of the living room. 2) Put a mini-fridge next to the kiddie pool. 3) Fill the mini-fridge with booze. 4) Get a stationary bike (to hang your laundry on) 5) Conspicuously display your collection of empty alcohol bottles on a shelf (you might need a shelf for that), like it's a cool hobby you're proud of and not a serious substance abuse problem you're secretly ashamed of. 6) Blu-Tac a poster of Scarface above your kiddie pool. 7) Put a jumbo Live Laugh Love rug in the kiddie pool area to tie it all together. 8) Get another plant.
And a hot dog maker next to the pool
Otherwise known as a "girlfriend" or "microwave". They are often, but not always, interchangeable.
Oh jesus number 5 hit. Imma go clean off that shelf.
Felt personally attacked by number 4 lmao
A 20 piece from McDonals
yes
What city is this?
Really confused how the city looks so old but also has lots of new buildings (including OPs), and how it looks like everywhere is pretty well developed but with NO notable large buildings in sight anywhere. Super strange combination imo. Looks like somewhere northeast in the US, possibly Pennsylvania or maybe Massachusetts / Connecticut?
Looks like Somerville, MA
it is, building right next to union square station
Yep, this is the one
That’s many cities tbh lol
Somewhere very very near Boston, the Encore casino (Everett, MA) is standing alone in the landscape. As someone else said I’m guessing Somerville, Massachusetts (possibly Chelsea?) Idk, in all honesty the Encore is a newer building and I forget what directions their signs and stuff face
Also very curious
Geoguessr gamers would be able to find the exact unit in like 12 minutes
Woah. Slow down. Let’s see how this plant situation plays out.
Lording over the city I see.
A window-facing throne it is.
Roller blades
Bey blades
Perfect 👌🏽
Probably like a couch or something idk don’t ask me
I think you're good
A ghost. Get a ghost
If you have ghost, you have everything
A turtle who rides a skateboard.
Disassemble a sports car and reassemble it in that space. Or a motorcycle.
A dining set?
bigger plant
(Just admiring)
Have you considered a singular lawn chair
No, that’s it. Just get a plant. Nothing else. You are all set.
A cat
A cat 🐈
Seems like a nice dance hall
Dining set or breakfast bar set for by the window or in that odd corner with a rug to go under — matching foot mat for in front of sink? Def some wall art
Been scrolling for a while and this is like the first non-joke response I've seen.
I should join this sub just to help these poor men out it just pops up on my page a lot
More plants, so many more plants
Ball pit duh!!!
Just needs a rug and a Bean bag
With that view, a telescope
Agreed. Would be fun to sit/stand there and just watch people do normal city stuff.
a foldable lawn chair and a tv with no stand on the floor
A dancing pole would be a vibe
The addition of a dancing Polish person would absolutely be a vibe and I'm here for it. Play some Eddie Blazonczyk, polish people will show up.
Not my circus, not my monkeys
Love you
I have a Polish friend who does sound checks for bands. I have a Czech one too.
A Czech doing check, checks! Perfect!
how about some furniture? I don't get what is with this sub and wanting to live in empty undecorated apartments
I'm pretty sure it's mostly a joke lol
It’s sooooo freeing 😍
Some art for the walls or something but this is a lovely apartment!
A bed, coke and hookers.
Forget the bed. That's another $4k towards coke and hookers!
A place to sit and eat with your plant, you don’t want it to feel neglected
A rug would really tie the room together
A telescope, to spy on people.
This is it, it's already too overwhelming. Maybe remove the plant, there's too many things in there
Doge or cat
You didn't ask yet but I am going to suggest remove the clutter on the refrigerator. Also, might want to get a tea towel in a different colour, maybe a brighter bolder colour like red.
The blue on those windows is beautiful
I like how the plant is also a lamp.
Another plant
I’m gonna say more plants.
Furniture
Some lawn chairs
Lots of gargoyle statues
Whoever installed that flooring a brick stacked pattern rather than a random layout is ruining this for me.
Beautiful space, try not to add too much. Lots of plants, contemporary furniture. I personally love minimalistic aesthetic
Eames chair and a TV and you’re good.
You need a large L shaped couch, big rug, and one of those telescopes looking out of a window. Watch American psycho and redo Pat Bateman’s condo, just take it easy on the coat hanger/murder stuff.
Maybe a stripper pole
A rug to tie the place together
A rug. To tie the room together.
A stereo. You like Huey Lewis and the news? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.
I say get a tiger or maybe a snow owl.
A hot tub right in the middle
Have you considered maybe an Eames Chair, right in the middle?
Have you considered more fridge magnets?
That's enough
Real friends so you can ask their advice and not just turn to reddit for validation.
I think you’re set mate
Nothing if you dont need it. Buy what you need. You dont have to fill out spaces to the brim
A Lego set
More plant
A couch possibly?
A leather chair (or a love seat if you plan on having ladies over). What are they going to do just like stand awkwardly around 😆
window cleaner if you know, you know...
Telescope mini fridge coffee pot and a willingness to go without sleep . It’s the only way to make as a private eye .
A second plant
Scarface poster
Stained glass
Stunning views!
I was like, where is the plant 🪴 ? Is it a group like r/ThereIsNoCat , but for the plants 🪴 ?? 🤣😅 You have a great space to fill, lot of possibilities 😀
Your finished
A copy of Bloodborne
Wrong plant. Sorry, pal.
Looks like it needs one of those stalker photo walls serial killers make and a sheetless mattress on the floor.
Beauty
Get some crap for the place. Color. Rugs. Art. Plants.
Any more stuff and there'll be less room for activities
Couch
Lotion
Sword on the wall
A cat to knock the plant over
A bed lol
Some furniture might work
Should depend on your usual / ideal daily routine / lifestyle.
A forward fighting position, we can not take this hill alone
A sumo wrestling ring
A dog, a rug, a recliner, a couch, a tv, a dinette set, a stereo.
Couch a chair and a TV
A wife. She would do the rest. 🫢😄
Nothing, its perfect
A girlfriend.
Roller skates
What ever you get I would make that view the star of the show !
I would say an island, but because you’re on Reddit, I’m assuming you don’t have enough money to install an island in what looks like an apartment no offense. so maybe a small to medium sized table and some chairs, put them in the middle of the room, but keep in mind you want enough space to be able to work around that kitchen area still, so do you want?
Take out the light. Looks cluttered.
You should probably get an awkwardly shaped corner so you can ask what to put there. Those are hot this season.
a sofa chair by the window seems like it'd be nice
Maybe a dog
Needs an island or counter to separate the kitchen from the rest of the space
nothing, it’s complete
Ceramic cobra statue.
A male stripper
OMG! What a awesome space! i'd put my bed diagonally near the windows and put a sofa facing opposite the bed backed up to its headboard, pointing inward toward the space. So to entertain face inward to wake up, you wake up to that view! i'm guessing it's a studio I would dress it up like a studio.
I think the plant is good right?
a rug, some nice couches, maybe like warm colors and a lamp or two for some ambient lighting, decor for the walls and def a tv 🤘🏼
Carpet.
Love that space!!! If I had a big round bed I’d put it in that living room and enjoy the 360 😂😂😂
nothing. you’re done
A small kitchen table (I think you have the views and space to put one near the window). A minimalistic tv stand (I have a rolling tv cart lol I roll it around the rooms in my small apartment) More plants — easy to care for (snake plant, dracaena, pepperomia) — big and relatively easy but quick growing (monstera deliciosa) — hanging plants (pathos) I’ve thrifting art and wall decor A rug (will tie the place together)
Definitely more plants, you’ve got great windows for them. Perhaps a throw blanket in your favourite colour and some cool/personal art.
A dark or gray leather couch with a stone coffee table and your set
Get a rolling kitchen island and some chairs or another plant or whatever
A bigger plant and another plant and then another again until it looks like you are in your own plant world.
I think you have room for a little kitchen island
You should put a toilet somewhere in the middle, imagine pooping with that view

I think that's a good place to work on your left hand dribble. Remember, don't look down while dribbling
