One key word for the man who lives alone who wants to decorate

living room

When I first bought my home, I had your stereotypical living room set up for a man alone. Recliner. TV. Thats it, the only thing I was missing was an XBOX. But thats where a womans touch then came in, or should I say, a womans orders. Now, thanks to my fiancee, I have a decorated living room that looks like someone actually lives here. So if youre a man alone and you want to change the game and impress that bumble date, or you just want to generally have more coziness then listen up. To be clear, the following advice isnt from me, its from my fiancee, so you can trust it more. The biggest key overall, according to my love, is cohesiveness dont just throw everything together. For example, if you get wooden side tables, dont get a metal coffee table. With that being said, get a coffee table, dont do like I did and just sit the drinks on the floor. Get a coffee table to sit your natty light on. And use a coaster to avoid the moisture ring of death. Next, once lets say youve chosen a wooden coffee table, go find some wooden end tables. Now, these end tables are going to go on the end of your couch. Yes, your couch, get rid of the recliner unless it matches the couch. I got rid of my recliner and thought my life was over, my comfy chair, my chair that makes me feel like the world isnt a place of dumbness and madness, was gone for the sake of cohesiveness. And you know what, it was a great decision, I now have a big gray couch for family and friends to enjoy. Not to mention, its better to fall asleep at night while watching The Office on something with a little more space. While youre watching Michael Scott face the threat of downsizing, feel better knowing how much more joy you have upsizing. Hang something on the wall: nothing looks more sad than an empty wall, you learn a lot about a person by the writing on the wall. Shes a basic southern momma with Bible verses, or hes an artsy fart from California with his big painting that looks like a 5-year old spilled paint. Every home can tell a story, so tell that story with the writing on the walls. But make it cohesive, dont put your childhood poster of Shaq on there beside a picture of your momma. Save that for the man cave. Moral of the story, cohesiveness. Have a good day and go to Hobby Lobby.
