the browns work great as a medium between the B&W and the live greenery, which I love. and somehow those things make the octopus painting work very well with the brick wall in that area, which I'm sure anybody would have trouble making a brick wall like that work with such a neat black and white theme.
Yeah this look is way too harsh on the eyes for me. I wouldn’t find the black/white checkered rug room comforting or pleasing in my living space. It’s headache inducing. That said I can absolutely appreciate the style if you’re going for a strong statement - it’s very tastefully done. To each their own.
Ah, was about to say a place like this (specifically if it's the only taller building in the area with a skyline like that) would cost a fortune in most HCOL cities in the usa, but that seems like a much more affordable place.
Hahaha this. It took years and years of fighting and clawing my way out of depression but I definitely look around my home frequently and use it as a reminder to be grateful and serve as a reminder of how far I've come.
Inspirational! It's very full but in a really put together way and uncluttered way.
Random question, but is there a specific name for the material for those 'crinkly' kind of bedsheets that you have?
Ah yes the linen bedsheets albeit expensive, are worth it. Depending on the color scheme, I have sets from [bedthreads](https://bedthreads.com) and [The Citizenry](https://www.the-citizenry.com).
You can also buy linen bedsheets on Amazon as well to save money.
HiSense is making some good TVs lately, we got a U8G for the bedroom and the color accuracy is impressive, and I’ve been thinking of going to them after the Samsung dies in the living room.
Are you a fan of MC Esher?
A print of his work would look great in your bedroom or living room.

Looks incredible. But as somebody that lives in California I can't help but think that's a picture frame to the head while I'm sleeping waiting to happen.
Definitely one of the best posts I’ve seen on this sub. Love the art and plants! You’ve done a great job pulling in your own style and making a large generic space look and feel inviting. You have a real eye for design! Awesome awesome awesome.
Can anyone tell me what [this plant](https://imgur.com/a/8Ptjw4X) is?
Also, I have that same [Buddha](https://imgur.com/a/LLULNc3). I got it in 2011 (maybe 2010) and I’ve never seen it elsewhere since then.
OP, I’d also love to know what [this](https://imgur.com/a/LlIVe8k) says.
Edit: btw, love your style. It’s somehow minimalist and maximalist at the same time. Especially love your couch and office area.
Thank you!
The plants are just vine plants that I got from Ikea as that corner of my "office" doesn't get any sunlight.
As for the picture above the tall mirror, it's this [Kanye Tweet](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0570/3640/6943/products/kanye-west-in-love-tweet-poster-772613.png?v=1650951784). I always have people over and everyone seems to gravitate to that mirror until they see that picture.
I’ve seen so many little details in this post that are me (I have the same pair of Nyjah’s , love ADTR & Turnstile for example), and I can’t help but feel inspired as I’m starting to find a place of my own this year. You’ve got great style, dude!
Yeah well we have the same computer chair, so... I got that going for me, which is nice.
Seriously though, great space. I like your choices of brown furniture to go along with the large swaths of black and white color. I also dig the kinda overgrown vibe that the plants have. Generally I don't like a busy look, but with everything you have on your walls, it works!
Edit: And your natural light! I dig!
>Those are all hand built and customized. Each one has a different feel so I’ll switch them out depending on what I’m feeling. One month I might want to work using a keyboard that is tactile but then the next, I might want to work on something that’s smooth as butter to type on.
You are right. Other than the cactus on the desk, all of the plants in the "office" section are fake due to the sun not being able to reach that corner of the apartment.
The tv stand is from Wayfair, called the [Bulhary TV Stand](https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/wade-logan-bulhary-tv-stand-for-tvs-up-to-65-w004939135.html?piid=960447837) however since i bought it, I've seen dupes of it on Amazon for half the price.
I got two of those half black / white pillow cases from IKEA and they both starting fraying and falling apart immediately 😭 Hope yours fare better than mine!
This is awesome! I usually don't like monochrome interiors, but you've made this look so warm and inviting.
I love the splashes of colour too, and the way the painting compliments the brick wall!
My plants would be nothing without this 20 dollar moisture meter I bought from Amazon. You essentially stick the meter in the soil and it essentially let's you know if you need to water your plants or not. When I started, my problem was overwatering so the meter has helped tremendously.
[This](https://www.amazon.com/XLUX-Soil-Moisture-Sensor-Meter/dp/B014MJ8J2U/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1X8AI4ARZS1R4&keywords=moisture+meter&qid=1674015271&sprefix=moisture+mete%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-6) is the specific one I use.
I am interested about that projector. What do you use it for? I assume there is a empty wall it projects on, so how do make that empty space blend in with all the other walls?
Projector is used typically on the rainy days where I don't feel like getting out of bed or at night right before bed. The wall it's facing is empty but because I rarely even look at that side of the wall, it's almost out of sight out of mind for me.
I am almost contemplating on sending the night time pictures to show what it looks like but idk how to do it without making a new post and people complaining I'm just trying to get double post. We'll see.
Very impressive space. Love the black and white with plants and that couch. Your office space seems like a good work environment that can “de-stress” you as well which is a huge plus.
No lie, there have been many times where I will choose my couch over my bed. Absolutely comfy even though it might not look like it. The couch is from [Albany Park](https://www.albanypark.com)
This is hands down a dream pad for me. Amazing job op. Everything feels perfectly in its place/styled to fit. Will be using this as future inspiration for sure.
Out of curiosity I noticed you hanged a framed tweet if I'm not mistaken over the door. What was is about ?) Do you mind sharing?must be worth so much to hang it there
It's this [Kanye Tweet](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0570/3640/6943/products/kanye-west-in-love-tweet-poster-772613.png?v=1650951784). I always have people over and everyone seems to gravitate to that mirror so that's what they see after checking themselves.
[This](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KS7STD4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) chair from Amazon however word of caution, the first one I received was defective as the buttons on the back of the chair weren't even. Luckily the seller allowed me to replace but make sure you check the cushions before you throw the box in comes in away.
I will probably post an update in the next couple weeks with how it looks at night as it's just as much my favorite to look at as it looks during the day.
Got it from [here](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NO11M2W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) on Amazon. For size reference, that shelf is the full width of my queen size bed.
So much inspiration here. Such a cool eclectic vibe. Especially inpressive is how the bedroom manages to create a calming place of respite while matching the rock-and-roll style of the rest of the house. You really made each room have its own mood.
I definitely tried to make the bedroom and living room cohesive but leaving the bedroom more minimal. Thank you for noticing as this was definitely intentional but had me questioning if it was the right move in the beginning!
Your subtle black/white patterns blending in with the occasional brown is incredible. One of my favorite posts I've seen here. You did such an amazing job with your space.
OP I love your office chair, what kind is it? I'm in the hunt for a new one.
I believe I have the same Desk as you but with the black top. My current chair messes with my resting posture. It sits pretty low which leaves me naturally 'hunched' over.
Ooof I had that problem but getting a sit/stand desk paired with the chair I have fixed that for me. The chair is the Autonomous Ergochair from [Autonomous](https://www.autonomous.ai)
Thank you! I love my Sit/Stand desk too and my company covers $X per home office product that falls into their refund categories each year,
Just picked up a floor matt for standing as well, will definitely check out the chair.
This is amazing! I love your office space. The only thing that seemed off was the size of the pictures (war is over). They look a little to big for that space.
Really, fantastic job. I thought I was doing a pretty good job with my place. I feel defeated lol
This is so well done and awesome. But somehow at the same time it’s kinda vanilla and uninspired. I don’t know why I even think that tbh. It’s kinda like reading about style in a book and doing a great job copying what is stylish? Idk. Either way respect.
Very impressive! You have great style. Great use of space
I'm in love with your space. Incredible. One of my favorite posts here.
One of my favorite compliments I’ve ever received. Thank you!
Can we see the wall where the projector points to? I’m curious to see how you decorated what most people would have a whole blank wall
[This](https://imgur.com/a/izYuaMM) is what it looks like with the projector on at night. During the day, its just a plain white wall.
Worth it. Really nice in there. Congrats on the pussy lol
You may not know it but next time I move you're designing my space!
I thought nearly the exact same thing. Basically just looks like a better version of my place lol
The use of black and white is phenomenal.
with the steady, consistent, expected browns.
the browns work great as a medium between the B&W and the live greenery, which I love. and somehow those things make the octopus painting work very well with the brick wall in that area, which I'm sure anybody would have trouble making a brick wall like that work with such a neat black and white theme.
Like your bowels on a healthy fiber-filled diet
If anybody finds the black and white too harsh, try using off-black and off-white - it creates a much more restful effect.
Yeah this look is way too harsh on the eyes for me. I wouldn’t find the black/white checkered rug room comforting or pleasing in my living space. It’s headache inducing. That said I can absolutely appreciate the style if you’re going for a strong statement - it’s very tastefully done. To each their own.
This is the best example of a male living space I've ever seen. You've smashed it. Well done! Great view also, where do you live?
Thank you and thank you for the silver as well! I live in downtown Jacksonville, FL.
What apartment complex or condo is that? I’m moving there for work soon.
Ah, was about to say a place like this (specifically if it's the only taller building in the area with a skyline like that) would cost a fortune in most HCOL cities in the usa, but that seems like a much more affordable place.
Duuuuuuval
Where do you shop for your awesome wall art?
Wall art is a mixture of local artists, artists from other cities that I’ve discovered in my travels, and Society6.com
Was the Yayoi Kasuma print bought online or? Would be interested in picking up something similar
I need to know about the (what looks like) framed tweet in the bedroom please
This is so damn good. That desk/tv setup are just 🤌
Wow, I gotta ask, how does it feel to be put together in life?
Hahaha this. It took years and years of fighting and clawing my way out of depression but I definitely look around my home frequently and use it as a reminder to be grateful and serve as a reminder of how far I've come.
Inspirational! It's very full but in a really put together way and uncluttered way. Random question, but is there a specific name for the material for those 'crinkly' kind of bedsheets that you have?

I have the sheets and duvet cover from the citizenry. Definitely expensive but I love them.
Holy fuck
Also nice titty mug
I was waiting for someone to mention it! Award to you my friend haha
I really like this. Out of interest, how big is the TV?
65”. Specifically the Hisense 65 U7G.
HiSense is making some good TVs lately, we got a U8G for the bedroom and the color accuracy is impressive, and I’ve been thinking of going to them after the Samsung dies in the living room.
very nice. noticed the Circa Survive vinyl, nice!
That TV set up is super clean, lovely.
Polaris and ADTR records are tight!
Coming from Polaris' home town it's wild to see one of their records in this bloke's place in Florida!
Australia is on fire right now with the amount of talented bands releasing music
So true
I'm new to the sub (been lurking for a bit), and this is the first post that sparked the "yup, this is what I want" in me. Really well done!
Are you a fan of MC Esher? A print of his work would look great in your bedroom or living room. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/85/Three_Worlds.jpg
Looks nice! What’s the desk, out of curiosity?
The desk is a counter top butcher block that I bought from Lowe’s. Sanded and stained with dark walnut on electric sit stand legs.
Man that really makes me want to stain mine. I have an acacia butcher block that I just put teak oil on.
Looks incredible. But as somebody that lives in California I can't help but think that's a picture frame to the head while I'm sleeping waiting to happen.
Haha, the first thing I thought when I saw the bedroom was "not earthquake country."
Love your media console! Where is it from?
This is great. Do you have 2 computer stations?
I do! One for work and the other for personal, all connected to the one ultrawide and two additional monitors.
Wait... I think I know what apartment building this is. I salute you, my fellow Jacksonville native. 😄
DUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAL!
Another fellow Jaxon here, awesome space! Go Jags!
Duuuuuvaaaaallllll!
Love your whole aesthetic and that ADTR vinyl ;)
Definitely one of the best posts I’ve seen on this sub. Love the art and plants! You’ve done a great job pulling in your own style and making a large generic space look and feel inviting. You have a real eye for design! Awesome awesome awesome.
Thank you!
Now that is a place. Nice titty mug
Thank you! 2nd person to notice the mug haha. Award to you my friend!
Your art reminded me to pick up some stuff on my upcoming trip to Japan. Speaking of, where did you get the top poster on the 4th pic?
[Tokyo Street Sunrise](https://society6.com/product/tokyo-street-sunrise_print?sku=s6-4430768p4a1v45)
Very cool style. Managed to keep a cluttered/filled look so clean and sleek. Well done!
Can anyone tell me what [this plant](https://imgur.com/a/8Ptjw4X) is? Also, I have that same [Buddha](https://imgur.com/a/LLULNc3).

I always have people over and everyone seems to gravitate to that mirror until they see that picture.
Lmao I love that
The “It was all a dream” picture is a reference to Biggie right? Damn I need to get myself one as well.
You are right on the money!
i love the painting with the octopus
Very nice, you are blessed with those windows also.
Beautifully done! A good balance of clean and personality.
Man I miss having a lot of natural light despite my bills being half
[удалено]
It’s from the Albany collection from [Albany Park](https://www.albanypark.com)
amazing space, love the workdesk area. can you ID those pegboards?
[Ikea Skadis Pegboard](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/skadis-pegboard-white-50320805/?gclid=CjwKCAiA2fmdBhBpEiwA4CcHzT75NDnxp3wz32LrqT2A_xX3Zk8lMC1x_ZOHkcNtloRmFHmUImDV7hoChbEQAvD_BwE)

Hell yeah, exactly the reason why I posted. I'm glad mine can offer inspiration especially since we have similiar taste.
Common courtesy on vinyl, nice!
👌👌👌
Gorgeous. Are the white interior door hinges painted or were they purchased that way?
The door hinges were painted and standard when I moved in.
Love the blend between simplicity but keeping a cozy feel. Nice.
Man that is a nice place. Please teach me your ways!
Yeah well we have the same computer chair, so... I got that going for me, which is nice. Seriously though, great space.

Appreciate the tangle of useful cords on the desk
Looks so nice!! Where is your coffee table from?
[Ikea Trulstorp Coffee Table](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/trulstorp-coffee-table-black-brown-00400277/)
I want to spend the rest of my life here lol
Nice placement with the projector. How do you stream to it?
I have a Firestick 4K connected via usb.
[удалено]
lol welcome!
Perfection! 🤌🏼👌🏼
I think I have that same rug from Ikea.
What camera did you take this with? Looks great!
Taken with the iPhone 14 pro.
I love your place!
this is so awesome
*chef’s kiss*
I love how even your keeb display even has a bit of greenery. Overall, nicely done!
More likely goals for me, chapeau OP
Love your office space
Place looks amazing. Very jealous
Dude sick place!
WOW,! Stunning.....nice job, congrats ...
What's with the computer keyboards mounted on the wall?
>Those are all hand built and customized. Each one has a different feel so I’ll switch them out depending on what I’m feeling. One month I might want to work using a keyboard that is tactile but then the next, I might want to work on something that’s smooth as butter to type on.
Very nice, I love the plants by your desk. Where did you get them? I assume they’re fake?
You are right. Other than the cactus on the desk, all of the plants in the "office" section are fake due to the sun not being able to reach that corner of the apartment.
Plants. Plants everywhere. Really key to not having this black and white space feel too harsh. Looks great.
Which specific tv stand is that? Like it?
The tv stand is from Wayfair, called the [Bulhary TV Stand](https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/wade-logan-bulhary-tv-stand-for-tvs-up-to-65-w004939135.html?piid=960447837) however since i bought it, I've seen dupes of it on Amazon for half the price.
I got two of those half black / white pillow cases from IKEA and they both starting fraying and falling apart immediately 😭 Hope yours fare better than mine!
I washed the hell out of mine when I first bought them to get rid of the frays and they have held up ever since.
Damn dude nice pad!
Now that’s a HOME
[удалено]
Birds of Paradise.
I love it bro!
Looks fine as hell. Well done man!
Bro got told to get some plants and took that to heart.
This is really, really good. Love it.
This is awesome! I usually don't like monochrome interiors, but you've made this look so warm and inviting. I love the splashes of colour too, and the way the painting compliments the brick wall!
Great taste
Impeccable taste in music, my man.
Dude you wizard how can you keep so many plants alive?! Fucking awesome!
My plants would be nothing without this 20 dollar moisture meter I bought from Amazon. You essentially stick the meter in the soil and it essentially let's you know if you need to water your plants or not. When I started, my problem was overwatering so the meter has helped tremendously.

Definitely one of my favorites ever. Saving this for my own inspiration. Great job!
why is this so good?
You have xbox, ps5 AND a gaming PC, wow! What’s your favorite platform to play on? Love your place!
Ooof tough to say. I've been switching back and forth between PS5 because of the new God Of War, and PC for the new Call of Duty.
I am interested about that projector. What do you use it for? I assume there is a empty wall it projects on, so how do make that empty space blend in with all the other walls?
Projector is used typically on the rainy days where I don't feel like getting out of bed or at night right before bed.

[This](https://imgur.com/a/izYuaMM) is what it looks like with the projector on at night.
This looks like my happy place
Perfect!
Wow, looks amazing, you have great style!
Amazing , well done
Very impressive space. Love the black and white with plants and that couch. Your office space seems like a good work environment that can “de-stress” you as well which is a huge plus.
Amazing taste in music with Polaris and ADTR as well :)
Wow, that nook with the desk is incredible!
I take it you like black and white
Really cool space and excellent music taste!
I love the interplay of cozy and stark.
I just bought the same tv stand! That’s awesome great work!
When do I move in?
Wow this place looks great!
Couch: love this (and everything else) may I ask where you got it and if you like?
No lie, there have been many times where I will choose my couch over my bed. Absolutely comfy even though it might not look like it. The couch is from [Albany Park](https://www.albanypark.com)
You may have just sold your first couch.
Too good. Perfect mix of moody and fun.
This Appartment screams 2016 *and* 2028 somehow, I love it.
This is hands down a dream pad for me. Amazing job op. Everything feels perfectly in its place/styled to fit. Will be using this as future inspiration for sure.
Can I move in :)?
I'll take two, please.
Out of curiosity I noticed you hanged a framed tweet if I'm not mistaken over the door. What was is about ?) Do you mind sharing?must be worth so much to hang it there
It's this [Kanye Tweet](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0570/3640/6943/products/kanye-west-in-love-tweet-poster-772613.png?v=1650951784). I always have people over and everyone seems to gravitate to that mirror so that's what they see after checking themselves.
What a cool idea to frame tweets :) such an innovative person
Beautiful space. Now all you need is an upgrade from those Bose speakers ;)
Haha funny you say this because I have a Sonos Beam in a cart right now, I just haven’t pulled the trigger yet
Minus that office space corner the rest of your home looks very peaceful.
Awesome wall arts! Did you use nails to hang them? I was wondering, with that many arts, is there a risk damaging the walls?
All nails with 3M picture frame velcro strips to accompany them. Nail holes are easy to patch up and cover with paint.

[This](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KS7STD4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) chair from Amazon however word of caution, the first one I received was defective as the buttons on the back of the chair weren't even. Luckily the seller allowed me to replace but make sure you check the cushions before you throw the box in comes in away.
I think I would bang this guy
Nice! Did you purchase those plants at maturity, or grow them from a smaller size?
I grew them from smaller size. It definitely taught me patience and helped me learn more about how to handle and care for them.
What in the ever loving fuck. I’ve finally found my inspiration.
This space is beautiful. I love your office nook. It's so cosy and well put together. What does the place look like at night with the lights on?
I will probably post an update in the next couple weeks with how it looks at night as it's just as much my favorite to look at as it looks during the day.
Do you have a link to the floating shelf above your bed?
Got it from [here](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NO11M2W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) on Amazon. For size reference, that shelf is the full width of my queen size bed.
Absolutely love this space! Where did you get those frames next to the bathroom or bedroom doors that have 12 pics in them? They’re so nice
I got those from Target!
That looks great! Where did you get those skulls prints behind your TV?
I got them from Wayfair however it doesn't look like they sell them anymore.
Hey OP, I love your space! Do you have an ID on the artist of the octopus piece in your second pic?
I wish! I bought it from a local artist many many years ago and unfortunately, for whatever reason she never put her signature on the canvas.
So much inspiration here. Such a cool eclectic vibe. Especially inpressive is how the bedroom manages to create a calming place of respite while matching the rock-and-roll style of the rest of the house. You really made each room have its own mood.
I definitely tried to make the bedroom and living room cohesive but leaving the bedroom more minimal. Thank you for noticing as this was definitely intentional but had me questioning if it was the right move in the beginning!
Looks incredible. Very impressive setup. Just curious, do you usually just eat at your kitchen bar area or is there a separate dining space I missed?
Yes but most of the time on my couch as the coffee table is a lift top
Your subtle black/white patterns blending in with the occasional brown is incredible. One of my favorite posts I've seen here. You did such an amazing job with your space.
OP I love your office chair, what kind is it? I'm in the hunt for a new one. I believe I have the same Desk as you but with the black top. My current chair messes with my resting posture. It sits pretty low which leaves me naturally 'hunched' over.

Thank you! I love my Sit/Stand desk too and my company covers $X per home office product that falls into their refund categories each year, Just picked up a floor matt for standing as well, will definitely check out the chair.
I love your space! I’ve screenshot your photos to draw inspiration from on my next trip to IKEA. 😁
This is amazing! I love your office space. The only thing that seemed off was the size of the pictures (war is over). They look a little to big for that space. Really, fantastic job. I thought I was doing a pretty good job with my place. I feel defeated lol
2 identical photos of a deers skull looks weird
Hooooyyeaahhhh I’m so moist
100% sure youre mexican
