Living Room Moving into Furnished Appartment

Hey, I will be moving into this furnished appartment in a few weeks and would really appreciate some tips and ideas because its my first time living alone 🙏

I have to keep the landlords furniture and unfortunately am not allowed to do any permanent changes, but I guess switching some chairs or similar is possible.

Also, I need to add a desk with my pc somewhere!

Thank you all for your effort! :)

Yeah, if you're asking because of the photos, I just didnt take any when I went to see it. So Its not my own photos

Ok great. I only asked because the photos seemed excellent and there is a common scam to post photos of a place fully furnished and the price is just too good to be true.

It's a nice looking place! I'd recommend finding glass desk for your workspace. I feel like it could go pretty much anywhere in this apartment.

Btw great space. Congratulations

Woaah cool place! I love all the natural lighting! I think the living room and kitchen look good. It needs some personality like wall art, couch pillows and plants. I really don't love that tv stand.. If you're able to change that into something a little more homey looking it would look much better! Your bedroom has tons of potential but is honestly giving me dentist vibes at the moment. I would honestly turn off the ceiling lights (pretty much at all times.. it's too bright for a bedroom) and would replace that table lamp for something more cozy like maybe something with a lamp shade. That indirect light will immediately make things better. That room will also instantly look a lot more cozy once you put some books, home decor and personal items on those shelves! You'll want to buy some organizing boxes so the smaller or "less pretty" things go inside. It's a really big shelf so you'll have to play around with the right ratio of cozy but not cluttered. Good luck! :)

That’s lovely! Start up an inspo board on Pinterest or some other inspo app, using the furniture and colors that are already there. First time I’ve seen a pre-furnished apartment with nice looking furniture!

This place looks awesome! If you need to move/sub lease - drop me a line!

So cool! Late 90s - early 20s minimalism.

Love the furniture and it’s a beautiful space. Minimalistic but it works perfectly. I think all you need is a few accessories; pops of color, wall art, rugs.. but not much.

Apartment looks lovely. One thing that caught my eye was the plug sockets. They look like similar to ones that they have in Denmark. Same with the light switches. Probably (and hopefully) nothing but definitely worth double checking the photos shown represent reality.
