Our nursery is finally done at 37 weeks! This has easily become my favorite room in our house. It is also our cat’s favorite room (cat tax included in the pictures above). She thinks we redecorated it for her - she loves the soft rug, the play-mat with dangling toys for her to play with, and hiding spots under the chair and crib. I originally wanted to go light on any theme, but I fell in love with the mural. We travel a fair amount and got married at a Zoo, so the nursery is very fitting. This was our first time putting up wallpaper and we didn’t do the best job, so don’t look too closely at the seams. The large window in the room has significant rotting and mold at the bottom, and after a 4 month wait for a new custom wood window, it should be replaced in the next week (hopefully before the baby is born).

Just Google “anti-slip rug pad” and there are a million of them out there. Most of them work to a degree, but you might have to try a few to figure out what works best for your rug. Mine are closest to one of the Amazon ones above.
First time posting here in Baby Bumps, but I’ve been a long time commenter/fan of this sub. Currently 38+6 and a FTM. I LOVE seeing everyone’s nurseries and am so excited to share ours! Had so much fun putting the nursery together.
Here are some of the things we got that I love in our nursery:
I know we will probably have to adjust things in the nursery once the baby comes and he gets older (I’ve seen plenty of moms comment on here how they laugh at some of the nurseries because they’ll eventually get wrecked or puked on or whatever) but for right now, I absolutely love it. I wanted to have a lush, forest feel...with dragons!
Good luck to all the moms out there. I’m so excited to become a mom myself. :)

What your room is missing is some color.
I love the painting but that seems to be the only place where you took a chance to bring color or personality into the room.
The two easiest changes would be to your curtains and rug. I would definitely look to change the rug into something that can compliment the painting. Maybe something like this?
DII Contemporary Reversible Indoor Area Rag Rug, Machine Washable, Handmade from Recycled Fabrics, Unique For Bedroom, Living Room, Kitchen, Nursery and more,, 4 x 6' - Multi Colored https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LTT79H8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NdSDCbP4MAYZ1
I really like these ones! Not very plush but sturdy and machine washable!
Hi! My best recommendation is to move the furniture around! You could try your bed in the back right corner where your keyboard is, or moving everything clockwise. Moving the furniture you have can sometimes make a room feel like a whole new space.
​
I would also recommend a rug for a pop of color. I recommend this one off amazon because it is relatively large/cheap, soft, and comes in a variety of colors. Also, string lights or a lamp are fun and can make your room look nice at night.
​
You could also organize your desk and fill up some of your wall space with art, posters, or a bunch of small photos that you organize on your wall.
Overall, your room looks like a pretty nice starting point. It's important to organize it in a way that functions well and makes you happy :)
I bought this rug about a week ago. I love it. Its very soft and in-expensive! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XCF7QFR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
I think the Grey or Deep pink would look great and would be amazing for throwing different colors in there!
You don't need a particular DDR mat. Get a rubber mat, like the one people put under rugs. It will be virtually impossible for your ddr pad to slip on this.
Random 1st thing that popped up on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Rug-Wrench-Washable-Non-Slip/dp/B00SPIZG7G/ref=sr_1_7?s=furniture&ie=UTF8&qid=1456890557&sr=1-7&keywords=rug+pad
It’s super affordable and comes in lots of colors too! Unique Loom Solo Solid Shag... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DN3ZDBQ?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
The attached album is the space I have to work with. All the erratic decorating is from the previous tenant and will be out by the time we move in, and I'd love some suggestions on what to do with the place. Renting for $1300/mo in South Florida in case you're curious.
My girlfriend and I are moving into our second place. Our current place is decorated pretty sparsely as we'd both just moved to the area, but having saved up for two years we're basically ready to start over again.
For the living room, the only thing we're bound to is this coffee table which we have and like. We were thinking of one or two of these matching end tables as well. Area rug is obviously a must as the apartment has the signature cheapest-beige-carpet-I-could-find. My girlfriend's in love with this rug but I'm unsure if the traces of gray and black there would go with the beige carpet and espresso furniture we'd have. Would a gray or black couch help that? We'll also definitely be putting curtains up that'll match whatever rug we go with.
For the bedroom, we have a Love Is Art painting with these colors so we were thinking of going with a deep purple color scheme with white/gray accents. We have a few IKEA Hemnes dresser sets in the black-brown finish. I'm thinking solid deep purple rug, a patterned white/purple duvet cover and curtains to match.
Thoughts? Suggestions? With a modest budget, what would you do with the space? Thanks in advance. I consider myself okay at decorating, but I'd hate to get all the pieces together only to find out I'm an idiot.
This rug would look great! It’s lighter so it will be pretty neutral other than brightening up the space.
nuLOOM Moroccan Blythe Area Rug, 6' 7" x 9', Grey/Off-white https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HDWIRQG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_elSiDbNQ1NCVZ
What about something a little crazier...like this royal blue pattern rug?
Now this is a cheap poly rug...so you'd definitely want to get a nice thick rug pad with it.
But I think blues, whites, greys, and ivories would look good in this space.
couple blue and white pillows, maybe a white linen lamp shade instead of the odd yellowish one.
This blue geometric shape rug is pretty cool too
I've never leveled a table but that sounds annoying at best.
If it were me, I'd get a much bigger rug and cut the thing so that the feet make direct contact with the floor and so that I could remove it entirely for cleaning, or whatever. I just made this drawing. The peach is the carpet, and the black line is the slit I'm talking about, with circles cut out for the feet. If you get a good rug pad it should stay in place where you make the slit on the side..
That is what I'd do :)
EDIT: Note about the rug pad, I'd cut it the same way as the rug, but I'd install it so that the slit in the rug pad but installed 180 degrees opposite. This way the slit in the rug would be on the solid side of the pad, and the slit in the pad would be on the solid side of the rug.
EDIT 2: You could also use a flexible glue and something very thin (like fabric) under the carpet so that the slit wouldn't come apart.
Thank you so so much!! What sort of rug would you suggest? I would this one on Amazon but am unsure if it would go (the multi color or grey color): https://www.amazon.com/nuLOOM-Moroccan-Blythe-Area-Grey/dp/B07B3Z9PLN/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1550272023&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=area%2Brug&dpPl=1&dpID=51fYsfS72xL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1
I use this product and it does hurt wood flooring. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0759XDWMC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_IjE8BbPXQ4F4K
Thanks!
Actually just some foam that came in an Ikea box. As for the sub, I was originally planning on a BIC F12 or an R-10SW, but the sub was shelved for now. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
​
This will be the rug I have once its delivered, but no rug yet.
​
Also, dimensions wise, the TV stand is 70" with about 20" on either side.
Thank you! This is the rug that I got! I purchased it from amazon because it was a bit cheaper there at the time I bought it (and also 2-day shipping) but it is also available here at wayfair.com! I got the 7 feet 10 inches x 10 feet size. It's super plush feeling!
And yes my bed is a queen size. I believe the dimensions of my whole room are 16 feet long x 10 foot 1 inch wide.
here you go
I got mine here. It took a while for it to come.

Can you put one or two thick plastic runners in the hallway? I'm talking about something like this
At the very least, it will be easier to clean while you work on timing. Do you leave water out all day?

It's always fun making a house a home.
• A rug. I like this one, it has a nice mix of autumn colours which will make your living room feel warm and welcoming, and keeps the orange colour whilst introducing browns and reds.
• A lamp Personally I think this twin pack of value lamps is fantastic value. I've had them myself, and they work with any decor, and give out a decent amount of light, as well as being height adjustable.
• Pictures for the wall is a little bit of a cheat, but works out well if you're on a budget, and costs almost nothing to change if you get bored of the look. You could also try framing wallpaper samples. Most DIY stores will let you take numerous free samples.
• Cushions I personally like ethnic style cushions, and think they're a great way to make unusual colours such as orange really work with a room. In fact, you may want to consider using a wall hanging with some non-slip backing instead of a rug for a good match - much more lightweight, and of course, comes with the advantage of being light and easy to take with you when the year is up.

In my experience you will always need a blanket/throw on the couch for those days you veg out on the sofa
Always need a night light to make new places seem less scary at night and to keep you from knocking into things
making a house a home is the fun part. Good luck and happy shopping. Hope you find some things you like. I think I'm all shopped out now! Thanks, that was fun.

I got one of these to protect my floor, this pen (which is super easy to reconfigure), and this rug. I actually got two of everything and put it all together so that my bun has like 4' by 10' all to herself. I don't feel guilty when I have to leave her in her pen when I go to work/class, but of course she gets to roam around the house when I'm home. :)
You actually have a right setup of the sofa and the tv. Just need a little make over.
I hope it helps you. ;) It's just my suggestion by the way. \^_\^
you’ve started a pretty set-up, I like the colors, just for suggestions, it seems that you need to add some decors, you might want to add some lamp, a rug like this one and some cool wall art like a multi-panel one like here, it’s best if you hang your favorite stuff

It’s by RugsUSA but I got it on amazon!
Yeah, the idea is there it just needs some updated furniture. I've got the funds tucked away so was just hoping to get an idea of where to start. I am thinking a new larger rug, new coffee and side table(s?), then some wall art and accent pillows?
I really like the look of this type of rug, do you think I could work that into the room?

At first I was like, "?" why would you want super plush floor mats. And then I thought, damn, what if you kept hella nice mats for when you go on dates. I guarantee ladies would appreciate a plushy floor mat if they've been wearing heals...It's like shag carpeting.
What if you just took a plushy carpet and cut it in the shape of your floor mats?
