Hi.....Can you please add some photos to your ideabooks. We can then get a better idea of your style.

Okay this is the vibe i want, like a warm cozy earthy aesthetic. I even think some red accents would look good, but i have no idea.

Start with a good sofa.

what color should i get

I don't think anyone can choose that for you. Most people like a sofa which is fairly neutral, because it's the largest piece and one you will probably want to have last the longest (because it's $$ to switch them out). Other people like the impact of a color they love and know they could live with it for a long time. Also depends on what fabric you want, cloth or leather and what options are available in your preferred brand/style. This color leather is timeless, as are the light neutral fabrics in your inspiration pics.

Once you have a sofa picked out, then I would look for a rug that complements it. Then you can pull color from the rug to help coordinate your other items, including paint. It's a rental? Are you allowed to paint the walls?

There are some great colors on your sample board. Green is very popular now; you might find some fabulous green sofas out there if that appeals to you.

The wall color and carpet already make the place feel cozy. I think you need to figure out how many pieces of furniture you want and what your budget is. Once you let us know that, we can point you towards particular places to shop and specific colors. Because this is your first place, I'd get a rather neutral sofa and play around with bringing accent colors in with a throw and pillow. The warm browns and off whites in the sofas you posted last would be good choices.

I agree about the neutral. Consider a beige/taupe as well as the colors stated above.

- Your budget?

- Are you in the United States and if not, where - so folks can look online at a few stores?

- What are the dimensions of the room?

- Do you prefer leather or fabric?

Finally received measurements. My apartment does NOT have the barrier between the kitchen and the living room. I do not want leather. i do live in the USA. I’m looking more in thrift/discount/second hand stores for decorating. I will buy something from an actual store if need be. Trying to achieve look on a budget. I can build more throughout my lease. I’m just moving and having absolutely NO furniture and as i’m looking, I don’t do good with colors, and i want it to look good. I don’t know if i should get a sectional or a sofa. i don’t know what decor to buy.

Looking for the my furniture colors. What color couch, coffee table, lamps, curtains? What should they look like? Where would I put it? My parents never decorated so I was never brought up around it. I want a list of likes: this is what you need: this is what you should look for to achieve the warm cozy earthy look. “Decorating for Dummies” please.

Here’s more pictures. Window room is bedroom

Since you're shopping thrift and 2nd hand, you'll be limited to what you find in those shops. BUT, there is often great stuff available. I would look until you find a couch or sectional that you love (either will work, as long as the sectional isn't too large). Then you can start building your room around that piece.

many different options available, all under $300. Do i buy one that brown, beige, white? What base color should my couch be. I’ll add color with decor.

You probably won't get anyone to pick for you, but you can post pics of your options here and get advice. I, personally wouldn't want a brown fabric couch, just because so many browns can be dreary. White can be hard to keep clean, beige is easy to decorate around/with.

Did you decide upon a sofa color? I think a beige with 2 leather chairs might work.

i think i’m going to look for a beige/tan/white sectional or sofa. In my head: if we get the sectional, we’re going to get a coffee table and some side tables, idk if an accent chair will fit. If we did a sofa: then i’d get an accent chair maybe 2 with a coffee table.

I have found some grey couches but idk if it’ll go with the cozy vibe LMK if you disagree

Tea, i was able to find this and it was only $100 but when i was leaving someone was buying it. i just dont like the leather feel

IMO - no gray for your main furniture piece.

i can get this couch for $30 i think it’s in the color scheme but should i go with it since it’s a main furniture piece

The decision is totally yours. It does add color to your space.

If you go with it - please make sure that the size is fine and it's comfortable.
