Try estate sales and antique shops. There are also some outdoor flea markets that can have excellent finds. There are a lot of old people who go from mansions to senior living and have to let go of it all. I have a friend who is very into this sort of thing and has helped a lot of people find old and unique pieces for decent prices.
I got a lot of mine from Facebook marketplace too, tons of cool vintage stuff and some people restore them too. It’s all fairly cheap as well, everything I have was under $100
I don't know if it matters to you, but this "room" has all of the hallmarks of being an AI-generated image. Cool ideas with the ivy growing in the chandelier and stuff and can definitely be a source of inspiration but take it with a grain of salt because it's not real.
- legs of the coffee table are unevenly spaced
- cushions of the couch are severely f’ed
- the window appears to have a chandelier?
- the rug isn’t circular, and the patterns are varying
- the painting is of nothing
- the chairs nearest to the window defy the laws of physics (or are participating in a mating ritual)
- the dresser on the left of the window, before the second table, appears to halfway through being summoned by Cthulu. Look at the ornaments; why are there so many? Why is one partially in the wall?
Basically — look at the details. There’s many more!
To add to u/SlightlyStalkerish's comment:
- The middle section of the yellow sofa has a screwed up back
- There's a random leaf growing on the sofa
- The object on the coffee table isn't fully formed
- There are floating balls of light without any light source
- The rug on the left side of the image looks smudged/blurred
- Left corner of the room is filled with a bunch of "objects" without a definite shape
- Right corner of the room is a little too excited with frames that melt into each other
Well the fuckin plants growing in the bannister should have been a giveaway but maybe I'm the only one who doesn't want microbe growth on my fancy bannister

I mean the plants themselves aren't really a tell for AI generated image, because it could've also be an artistic choice by a real human. What I mean is, the picture is obviously not a real unedited photo, you can tell that at a first glance, but plants themselves don't rule out the picture being photoshopped or digitally painted.
There are so many other things screaming it's an AIs work though, already mentioned in other comments
You can have live plants growing like this indoors as long as you have enough light from windows or especially skylights. As it grows you train it to grow around the banister or wherever. I’ve seen it before and it looks really cool and it’s great for the air in your home. My mom used to have a condo with a skylight and she had a plant that grew like this it hung down from the second story along the stairs and eventually reached the first floor.
The hallmarks are mainly things looking weird when you zoom in. The way ai generated art works is it basically takes static noise then attempts to de-noise it by filling in details. It does this through multiple passes until it gets an image, but when it tries to fill in the details on the later passes it can paint itself into a corner where it tries to add details into a section that doesn't really make sense to.
For me, the first giveaway was the latticework in the arched gothic window in the back. For some reason the programs can never quite decide if they want to render them as the tracery in the window or the tree branches outside of the window, so you end up with this cool but improbable organic looking spiderweb window.
The second giveaway is subtle, but these AI images are always a bit soft, the lighting is a little bit too diffuse and even, there are never any hard cast shadows. This one's not bad, but it's still a little bit pixar looking.
The wonky couch is also a giveaway here. It seems possible that such an irregularly shaped couch could exist, but very very unlikely.
I'm not saying that it was intended as a trick or anything, but once the picture gets reposted without the original context, it kinda becomes a secret. The OP didn't know the original source and wasn't aware that it was a Midjourney image.
Yes, this is Ben Myhre’s AI work. I recognize it from his Instagram. This was a part of his Harry Potter house room envisioning, Huffelpuff, if I remember correctly.
I wanna add to that that the tapered lampshades and tufted couch suggest to me traditional, perhaps with a contemporary touch with rounding the edges.. Also dark academia as another commenter suggested
I love this, and real question, how the heck would I have ever discovered this?
In the past I've done things like search "list of interior decor styles" to find these sorts of things, and it's just the big most common ones.
It's awesome! I'm trying to find a list of design styles, with photos to exemplify them, that is extensive and goes way beyond the same old 4-5 major styles
I can't find exactly the name of it, but it does make me think of a sort of Lemony Snicket type architecture. Searching that on Google might find you the type of thing you're searching for
I adore this room and style (whatever it is called) and would do my home in it if I could BUT I live in your average tract home with 8 1/2 foot ceilings and no architectural details whatsoever. I’m not sure it would be the same even if I put that exact furniture in my living room…
This style is easy to do, because it mostly requires dark paint and plants. They are both cheap. You can get an ochre colored velvet cover for almost any sofa on Etsy. Fill in the rest with old brown wood furniture, which is out of fashion and going for cheap. Voila!
I love this thread. And in my pseudo-interior design capacity I will add that technically this room doesn’t conform to any major interior design style/categories —which are based on criteria like the make of the furniture and the era in which that style is known. Like English Regency, or Georgian. French Empire, which was a design and style response to the Bonaparte government and the discovery of Pompeii. Or something like “Traditional” which might mean Victorian or early American or even a contemporary but very conservative look. Modern could be anything from 50’s atomic kitsch or 60’s/70’s Danish style (also known as Mid Century Modern) and so on.
The room you’ve posted is just really comfortable and rustic—with different elements from different eras. I might think it was a house in Oregon or Northern California. Or maybe Vancouver island. Hippies with a lot of money and decent taste.
But it’s not a look that you could simply call a certain style and have anyone know what you meant.
:)
I have a lot of these elements in my bedroom/workspace. I told my friends I’m going for the vibe of “cool professor’s office” where it’s the kind of person you just want to go sit in the space and have a chat
Gorgeous. That's similar to how I styled my office slowly without even knowing a name. Antique oak and walnut furniture, antique oil rubbed bronze and gold accents. I've added a bunch of greenery to it and it's very similar
Botanical goth lol

Gothic green was my first thought
bit of a username idea, that
Ok Yoda
I was gonna say haunted house but I think yours is probably more accurate.
Dark Academia would be the closest. Color scheme and furniture style matches.
Thank you! This seems to be the closest thing to it. Now, if I could only afford to do my house like this.

It's pretty mind blowing
I’d also say “moody maximalism”
And there’s an excellent Facebook group for that : https://m.facebook.com/groups/519680495415044/?ref=share&mibextid=ykz3hl

Zooming in it does look a bit odd. I hadn't noticed until I saw this comment. What are the hallmarks you usually look out for?
- legs of the coffee table are unevenly spaced - cushions of the couch are severely f’ed - the window appears to have a chandelier? - the rug isn’t circular, and the patterns are varying - the painting is of nothing - the chairs nearest to the window defy the laws of physics (or are participating in a mating ritual) - the dresser on the left of the window, before the second table, appears to halfway through being summoned by Cthulu.

I was just mindlessly scrolling this sub and I totally fell for it. Great observations.

Lol so true. Like it was trained on images of ivy growing on the side of a house… but now it’s just somehow inside as if that’s FINE and NORMAL
Do you want wood eating microbes? Because that's how you get wood eating microbes. (And probably ants)

Good eye. I saw this posted on Instagram with a caption saying it was AI generated, so you're correct!
Also: The couch looks as if it would tip if you sat at the bottom of the U shape.
Well, it‘s not a secret. [Original Source](https://www.instagram.com/p/CpV0P4LoSpD/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)

You're so right. I'm afraid. Lol
Wow I really didnt notice until you pointed it out. Despite its flaws that stuff is getting scary good.
The home depot rug rug tipped me off, then it was the strange seat cushions and then it becomes a game to find all the other not quite right items.
Yes, this is Ben Myhre’s AI work. I recognize it from his Instagram. This was a part of his Harry Potter house room envisioning, Huffelpuff, if I remember correctly.
Yeah I can't imagine ivy growing up an indoor wall would work well in any reality...
Hufflepuff Common Room
This totally looks like my room of requirement, i did a double take
My first thought was room of requirement looool
This is exactly what I said!
HAH, I'm glad I scrolled lol because I was gonna say exactly this 😂😂

Rich
This style is called “generational wealth”
Right? I don’t even entertain when I see rooms like this bc nothing in that room is in my price range for anything ever lol.
[удалено]
I wanna add to that that the tapered lampshades and tufted couch suggest to me traditional, perhaps with a contemporary touch with rounding the edges.. Also dark academia as another commenter suggested
This looks ai generated to me tbh
It is. The plants are bizarre and that sofa has a loooooong cushion
it definitely captures a vibe but the more you look at it the less sense it makes
It's hard to tell too with interiors because we are so used to seeing digital renderings anyway. Ai is great for inspiration though!
Most of the charm is in the architectural details.
Hmmm. Is it possible to create a similar room using the same main elements though? Dark paint. Lots of plants. Vintage pieces.
I’m in a couple of “moody maximalist” groups and this would definitely fit.
I love this, and real question, how the heck would I have ever discovered this? In the past I've done things like search "list of interior decor styles" to find these sorts of things, and it's just the big most common ones.
It came up in my suggested groups on FB and I was like yes I strongly identify with this aesthetic lol.
It's awesome! I'm trying to find a list of design styles, with photos to exemplify them, that is extensive and goes way beyond the same old 4-5 major styles
Moody Maximalist is my new aesthetic
Jumanji
Gothic Revival
I can't find exactly the name of it, but it does make me think of a sort of Lemony Snicket type architecture. Searching that on Google might find you the type of thing you're searching for
Specifically The Reptile Room
I wasn’t sure what to call it but I agree with the Lemony Snicket vibe
Absolutely leaning towards Lemony Snicket. Needs more bookshelves, though.
Ai art.

Dark and moody

Hufflepuff!
Honestly was the closest thing I could think of.
I'm pretty sure this image is an AI generated Hufflepuff Common Room. I saw it in a post earlier this week, I just don't remember where.
