In a Salute to Dave, Our Top Ten List of Zany NYC Apartments
David Letterman might hail from Indianapolis, but his prickly affect and smart-alecky style were clearly made for New York City. Dave gave us a less-than-cloying interview style, innumerable goofball tricks, and best of all, he riffed on mundane stuff we encounter every day like the Hello Deli and Small Town News.

If you love the color red, but you can't choose which design will suit the walls, rug or overall look, don't stick to one pattern. Pick out a red-and-white striped rug and use red-flowered wallpaper to complement the look. Add red to the seating and choose paintings that feature red for a cohesive look.

Let the vibes flow from room-to-room with another clever paint tip. "I often paint a home one color throughout," says Susana Simonpietri, interior designer and co-founder of Chango & Co. "Or, I'll try the softest hue in the room that gets the most natural light, then work through the rest of the home with deepening shades of blue and gray."
5 Design Ideas — INMYROOM
In order to properly think over the design of the workplace, it is necessary to train observation. A selection of photographs helps with this: everyone at least once met an interior that you want to repeat here and now. Dreaming of an ideal workspace that will definitely be saved on Pinterest?
We tell you how to design a stylish space where you can comfortably spend your working days.
Win-win minimalism
A cluttered desktop can be distracting and reduce productivity. By choosing a minimalist design, you solve several problems: such interiors do not become outdated, and the efficient organization of space maintains a working mood.
Photo: Pinterest
Place a table against the wall, place shelves above it, where you can provide a storage system: arrange documents in boxes or folders, get comfortable stands. If you plan to arrange a working area near the windowsill, you can put a rack next to the table.
The choice of materials and colors is up to you, but we recommend giving preference to discreet shades (white, gray, black, brown) and natural texture (wooden table). And do not forget about neat decor: minimalism implies a minimum of details, but a small plant or figurine will fit well into the interior.

Proper use of space
This solution is suitable for owners of small apartments. To use every square meter, pay attention to practical furniture: for example, tables combined with shelving, window sill tables or folding tables. If there is not enough space in the room, get a folding chair that can be removed if necessary.
Photo: Pinterest
You can add coziness with the help of accessories - a small vase or a miniature picture in a frame. By the way, compact organizers mounted on the walls help to unload the surfaces. And for a greater effect of increasing space in the design, use light cold shades - actual green, blue or gray.

Advice INMYROOM : Are you worried that you will have to look for a drill or puncher for decor? Luckily, with 3M Scotch™ Mounting Tapes, you no longer need to use special, expensive tools to decorate a room.
Decorating hacks: A chalk board above the table will not only be a convenient place for writing, but also a stylish decor. You can secure it with 3M Scotch mounting tape. You can easily cope with this task on your own, without the help of specialists, tools and without dirt!
Also, the tape will help to fix a small shelf on which you can place miniature paintings or frames with memorable photos: a strong mount can withstand a load of up to 10 kg, is not afraid of moisture and sunlight. This option is suitable for painted concrete, wood and metal surfaces.
In the work area, we recommend using the walls especially actively: hang organizers, calendars, maps, decor from frames or earphone holders. To implement this idea, a tape for interior work is perfect, providing strong contact with most surfaces. By the way, you can add more light to the space and easily install LED strips - the mount is not afraid of a load of up to 4.5 kg.
A transparent Scotch tape will connect glass and transparent plastic surfaces inside dry rooms without traces: fix a decor or a transparent organizer on the glass and work comfortably!
For the self-adhesive mount to work effectively, you must follow the instructions:
Step 1. Pre-treat the surface with alcohol and allow it to dry.
Step 2. Measure the desired length and cut a piece of tape with scissors. Press the tape firmly against the back of the item you plan to secure. Keep pressing for 30 seconds.
Step 3. If possible, run the roller along the length of the tape.
Step 4. Remove the protective layer and firmly press the object to the surface for 30 seconds.
Stylish work area on the balcony
On Pinterest, there are often offices that are arranged right on the balcony, and this example can be used. The balcony needs to be pre-insulated: a warm floor and good windows will cope with this task. You can arrange a compact workspace against the wall, and if the area allows, organize a full-fledged office with a place to relax. Put a small table and chairs - here you will comfortably drink a cup of coffee during a break.
Photo: Pinterest
Experiment with colors and textures: a deep blue hue or a calm dusty pink are perfect for wall decoration. It is best to install shelves above the table, which will accommodate stationery and decor items.

A riot of colors
If you don't like neutral shades, get inspired by colorful and bold interiors. It is not necessary to make a yellow or orange wall - you can add accents with the help of furniture, paintings and other accessories. Place bright storage boxes on a white rack, pick up a spectacular chair or table with a colored top.
Photo: Pinterest
Experts say that bright colors have a positive effect on brain activity, but do not overdo it: if the creative mess in the work area turns into chaos, it can be distracting.
Photo: Pinterest
White interiors
White interiors are popular with Pinterest users. If you share the love for this shade, decorate the work area in white. A winning solution will be light-colored wallpapers and furniture that will contrast with other details: for example, a wooden table top or a transparent chair.
Photo: Pinterest
It is worth remembering that such a design needs accents, otherwise it will lose its appeal. Add green plants to the shelves or hang a black board on the wall - you can fix work tasks on it. Also keep in mind that white surfaces are very easy to get dirty, so if your work involves drawing or using coloring materials, this option will not suit you.

75 photos of interiors, ideas for renovating the hall
Traditionally, the living room was a place for receiving guests. But in modern homes in this room you can often meet the owners themselves, who relax after a working day in front of the TV, read books from the home library or spend time with their families. To create a favorable environment for any type of activity, you need to take into account many aspects of the design of the living room, which will be discussed in this article.
Interior style
First of all, you should start with the choice of style. This is an extremely important stage: the design of the whole house depends on it, the center of which is rightfully considered to be the living room. Weigh all the advantages and disadvantages of space, area, window placement, ceiling height, and layout to settle on the ideal option.
Classic living room design
Modern design must follow the needs of the time, and if any style lags behind this rule, it is modified. That is why the classics in the form in which the aristocrats of past centuries saw it are rarely found today - it is impractical, prohibitively expensive and difficult to implement. What should be emphasized in such interiors is comfort, high-quality materials, solid furniture, noble decor, as well as a sense of spaciousness.
It is recommended to choose a classic style for living rooms with a large area or, as an option, combined with a kitchen. A prerequisite is large-scale windows that let in enough light to highlight the natural colors, the texture of the textiles and the noble texture of the wood, which is an important component.
Pieces of furniture must create a certain compositional integrity. In the center there is usually a sofa and several armchairs, which are arranged around a coffee table. Often in the interior of a living room in a classic style you can find a fireplace - real or decorative. But with the technique you should be more careful, if possible, hiding it behind the facade of the cabinet.
Provence style living room design
This style has features in common with the classics, but differs from it in decorative simplicity, pastel colors and a slight provincial charm. Despite the fact that Provence came to us from French villages and is more often used in the interiors of country houses, today it is becoming more and more relevant in the space of city apartments.
Style gravitates toward everything natural, therefore, along with light and space, as many natural materials as possible should be “weaved” into the design of the living room. Wooden furniture with an antique touch, which is painted with white paint, as well as linen or cotton textiles look the most harmonious. Small trinkets, like ceramic vases, figurines, family photos, will only emphasize the cozy atmosphere.
Minimalist living room design
Being the exact opposite of the above styles, minimalism sacrifices decorativeness for practicality, as a result forming a kind of "silent" aesthetics of shapes and lines. If the classics are not distinguished by condescension to the shortcomings of the interior, then modern trends tend to hide or transform them.
The color scheme consists mainly of several neutral colors close to the natural palette: white, black, gray, brown. More often than in other styles, glass and metal are used. But the minimalist interior of the living room cannot be called uncomfortable or cold, just the geometry of objects, the texture of materials, light and space act as means of expression.
Loft living room design
It's amazing how non-residential space has become a popular place to live. The loft originated in the inhospitable walls of abandoned industrial buildings, but today it can be found in modern comfortable apartments.
The initial conditions of the living room for interior design in the loft style are of key importance. It is desirable that the brickwork of the walls, which is brought to the fore, look neat, otherwise you will have to spend energy to create the desired texture. Not the last role is played by the layout, which should be as open as possible. A great option if the living room is combined with a kitchen or bedroom.
In such a room, it is necessary to arrange a large number of seats: leather sofas and antique armchairs that would line up around a coffee table. The priority is modular furniture with a simple geometric design, as well as unique decorative elements, such as posters, figurines, art objects.
Scandinavian living room design
Functional minimalism with subtle features of a traditional Swedish home - perhaps this is how you can characterize the Scandinavian style, which is gaining more and more popularity today. A room designed according to his principles will be cozy in winter, cool in summer, but always comfortable.
It may seem to some that the Scandinavian-style living room interior looks sterile - mainly because of the white color, which, like snow, “covers” almost the entire space. But it is worth adding wooden furniture, fluffy carpets, paintings or a fireplace to the room, as this inhospitable whiteness “comes to life”, giving way to a feeling of cleanliness and spaciousness.
Living room colors
The mood and character of the interior always depends on the color scheme. But even with one shade it can be difficult to decide, not to mention the harmonious combination. Consider the most common options for living room design.
White
Some housewives may say that white is a very impractical color, on which the first traces of dirt are immediately noticeable. But, firstly, this indicator depends on the material, and secondly, from the point of view of color, it is considered a universal option for design.
White in the living room can be used as the main motif or as a backdrop for bright details. Moreover, it is a key color of Provence, Scandinavian style, and is also often found in minimalist interiors.
Semitones
Stylish solution, for which shades of the same color are taken. The living room with this approach does not look boring or faceless, as it might seem at first glance. Let's just say that one purple has about 50 shades, for the use of which one room will not be enough.
Contrasting colors
To create accents in the design of the living room, you can use one or more bright colors that stand out against the background of more muted ones. For example, the contrast of furniture and walls, pillows and a sofa, several types of finishes.
Pastels
Pastel shades are a fashionable design approach that allows you to diversify the interior colors without oversaturating it with bright colors. Often used in Provence or modern solutions, creating a romantic, calm mood.
Natural shades
One of the main trends of this year is a return to nature, which implies the use of natural materials in the interior design of the living room and, accordingly, the most natural range for a person: green, sand, shades of wood, gray, blue.
Living room decoration
Although each style has its own requirements for living room decoration, a few recommendations will help you decide on the choice of a practical and aesthetic option.
Floor
As a flooring, it is better to use finishing materials that are resistant to external influences, the cleanliness of which is easy to maintain. The most budgetary, versatile options are parquet or linoleum. If the living room is combined with the kitchen, you need to think about a solution that is suitable for two zones at once. However, in the lounge, the floor is often covered with carpet, which hides design flaws.
Walls
Living room wall coverings rarely have specific requirements other than decorative ones. Smooth plain walls are the perfect backdrop to fill the space. If you need to diversify it, then the wallpaper has a wide variety of colors, textures and patterns. With the help of decorative plaster, you can imitate natural materials, and paneling can “revive” the interior. If you can't stop at one option, you can combine them.
Ceiling
Much depends on the height of the ceiling - if it is more than three meters, you can think about suspended structures that are used to install recessed lighting, cover surface imperfections, zoning and create a unique appearance. In other cases, a simple even light coating will suffice.
How to choose furniture?
The choice of subject content of the living room is related to its size, the number of residents and their needs. But traditionally it includes a sofa, one or more armchairs, a coffee table, and a wall. They form the compositional center of the space, and the rest of the furniture is optional.
Quite often the room includes cabinets or shelves with books - a kind of home library. In an open plan living room, a dining table can be located, but it belongs to the dining area, separated, for example, by a sofa.
The design of objects depends on the chosen style. The classics are characterized by glass facades of cabinets or doors with frames, soft sofas on curved legs with textile upholstery. The opposite of minimalism prefers flat, smooth facades, which often form a monolithic structure, more mundane furniture, as well as modular models.
When arranging furniture, pay attention to the geometry of the room. With a square layout of the living room, the main furniture ensemble is placed in the center, and with a rectangular one, along the walls to make room for movement.
Decor and textiles
It's hard to give specific decor recommendations because, as with furniture, a lot depends on the style chosen. We will only mention a few elements in the interior that have wide decorative possibilities.
Firstly, curtains - these pieces of fabric not only hide you from prying eyes, but also create a cozy living space. You can stop at a transparent curtain, pick up massive textiles with lambrequins, or purchase Roman blinds.
Bright pillows look stylish against the background of the monochrome range of the rest of the space or a carpet with geometric patterns. The living room is an ideal place for a fireplace, not necessarily a real one - today you can buy or make beautiful imitations yourself.
Along with the paintings, don't forget the shelves, which can be decorated with figurines, framed photographs or flowers.
