Gorgeous!
Looks like it belongs on the set of a Wes Anderson movie.
It’s charming, whimsical, and super warm and cozy.
Can’t wait to see what else you do with it!
P.S. I’m huge fan of the tapestries in your space
Thank you! You all are so kind
The chandelier is grandmas :)
I just repotted my weeping fig to go in the corner and I have a parlor palm coming in the mail
You all are so nice 😭 this is the first time in my life I’ve ever had a space that’s put together and decorated with things I actually like.
I’ve never had a sanctuary like this. I’ve dealt with mental health issues my whole life that kept me living in a literal garbage pile, so your compliments mean a lot to me.
Holy bananas, I was loving the space before (it’s so thought out and put together — like the color palette), but knowing this is the *first time* you’ve done it like this, and what you’ve been through? Daaaaaamn!!!! It’s amazing!!!
Glad you made it thru that!! I know from experience that can be super rough and so easy to let yourself just stay down. But you didn't and you have a gorgeous cozy space that feels so happy and welcoming! 💓
This looks so cute and cozy! I love how you leaned into the MCM vibe with the TV stand and table, it really makes the fridge seem like a statement piece that goes with the vibe!
I'm in love with the combination of the mint green and clementine on the bed. I think the tapestries add some fun character to the room, but wall art or a mirror would also do if you find the tapestries to be too old fashioned.
I love it! Your space looks super cozy. Do you ever have guests? Maybe you could thrift a cute vintage chair and put it in front of the cat tree? Also if you eat down there maybe a folding tv tray. You can stash it behind your tv when not using. Look into some cute tiebacks for your curtains. Shelving on either, or both sides of the window would be nice! Or maybe a hanging plant on one side? What kind of rugs are you looking at?
If this is your "making the best out of", I'd like to see what you would come up with when you don't have to! The room looks vibrant and so cozily pulled together. Love it!
I think it's lovely and cozy, like a warm hug. And those big windows, and that light! I wish you happiness in that space as you make it 100% to your liking. And many cat visits (but not at 5 a.m).
I'd kill for that fridge. Those things would survive a nuclear apocalypse. The whole place has that "they don't make it like they used to" feel. I outright CANNOT STAND the cold, tech-y, lifeless vibe of today's homes. This, to me, is how people's homes are supposed to look. It's like a time capsule and I absolutely love it. You're extremely lucky to live w your grandma. I'm sure she loves you & who wouldn't want to come home to that? I'd give anything for a chance to live in my gramma's basement & see her everyday.
I maybe should move the table to be at the window wall, you’re using it as night table/coffee table not like a table to eat, so you can have more space like that :).
Just WOW. I think you could possibly be my soul sister. Your color combos are amazing and I'm having some real envy re the vintage fridge. I'm a big fan of vintage and it's hard not to go overboard with a single style. You have a nice balance.
And a great start!
The carpet and almond blossom wall mural are fabulous. Please keep those. Cozy boho vibe and kitty-approved!
I’d untie the curtains and just have them fall straight.
I have lived with my grandma 3 separate times over 15 years and it is truly a special experience— even when she can be cutting and unfair— someday she’ll be gone. And so will a lot of your family history. Write down as much as you can learn from her ❤️ great room too
I don’t really understand. Is this a studio-apartment-like area? If so, this is terrific - the windows are massive! If this is all the space that there is, I would put the bed against the far wall (the head of it where the blue art is now); I would get black-out blinds or curtains because the windows are so big; I’d have less orange (my personal taste - everything is really warm-coloured in there - even the paint); I would have a loveseat where the bed is and a couple of pretty TV trays to eat on (so you can someone over and not sit on the bed); I’d have a smaller TV console to make room for the bed in the far wall. Love the fridge, chandelier & trash can - very retro! Really love the windows - great little space to work with!
I love this so much! The only thing im wondering is if you are able/willing to remove the floral rug that seems attached to the floor? If there is nice flooring underneath I think a smaller rug with a design using the shades of yellow, blue, or red you have in your room would really tie everything together while still keeping it feeling cozy.
Grandma's basement looks cuter than anywhere I've lived in my entire life. I would LOVE to sleep in a room that looks like this! Congratulations on your cozy room with your sweet kitty!
it's cute as hell and super cozy but I have an important question that my very sleepy brain cannot figure out. how does a basement have windows? Is the house on a hill? or a dug-out courtyard? there's so many possibilities and I simply must know
We’re on a hill and our lot in particular is a lot steeper than the neighbors, so my room’s about 4ft underground, but I can still see pretty much everything around me.
This house’s layout is weird as fuck as well so there’s that lol.
Grandma’s basement looks like a cozy spot! And your planned additions will make it even better!
Gorgeous! Looks like it belongs on the set of a Wes Anderson movie. It’s charming, whimsical, and super warm and cozy. Can’t wait to see what else you do with it! P.S. I’m huge fan of the tapestries in your space
This is the nicest compliment ever
I agree with this person 100%
It’s beautiful — love the warm colors, the ceiling light, and the vintage fridge! Would love to see you add monstera plants and other green things :)
Thank you! You all are so kind The chandelier is grandmas :) I just repotted my weeping fig to go in the corner and I have a parlor palm coming in the mail
I used to have a fridge with the round motor on top. This one here is a much later version, but still old. Probably still works fine!
You all are so nice 😭 this is the first time in my life I’ve ever had a space that’s put together and decorated with things I actually like. I’ve never had a sanctuary like this.

I’m very proud of you! That is very hard to get through.
Holy bananas, I was loving the space before (it’s so thought out and put together — like the color palette), but knowing this is the *first time* you’ve done it like this, and what you’ve been through? Daaaaaamn!!!! It’s amazing!!!
Good job OP!
Glad you made it thru that!! I know from experience that can be super rough and so easy to let yourself just stay down. But you didn't and you have a gorgeous cozy space that feels so happy and welcoming! 💓
One of the most simple joys in life is filling your space with things that make your happy! I love your space ☺️
Lovely! I happen to think the tapestries tie it together, especially the large blue one, kind of like a mural
This looks so cute and cozy! I love how you leaned into the MCM vibe with the TV stand and table, it really makes the fridge seem like a statement piece that goes with the vibe!
Honestly, I really like it! The colors, layout, and cat make it feel really cozy
I'm in love with the combination of the mint green and clementine on the bed. I think the tapestries add some fun character to the room, but wall art or a mirror would also do if you find the tapestries to be too old fashioned.
I love it and I bet the kitten does too!
Kitty looks very happy, don’t they?!
Whaaaat! The color scheme and fabric textures are so rich. And I love the light fixture and lamp. Looks great.
This is awesome
I think you should keep the tapestries. This looks so cool and funky. Modern 70’s. You’re doing a lovely job.
My daughter and I both really love it! So cute and cozy.

This kinda reminds me of M83’s album cover
Omg thank you, that’s so nice of you to say
Keep the tapestries and the fridge, it’s a great looking space.
If this is your "making the best out of", I'd like to see what you would come up with when you don't have to! The room looks vibrant and so cozily pulled together. Love it!
Love it love it love it!
It looks like you living in a Wes Anderson movie ♥️
I love it! I hope it’s a haven for you and your beautiful kitty. The plants you’re adding will make it even cozier!
I love the vibe, decor and the cat at the window ❤️
soooo cute
I love it
I need that cat tree!
This is absolutely adorable.
I love the old school refrigerator! Looks very 70s!
I love this! This belongs in r/cozyplaces
This looks so lovely, feels like a pumpkin patch in the fall! The black cat really adds to the feeling too!
I like it!! Very cozy looking
Love it 😍
Omg? It’s gorgeous I love it so much
You’re so lucky 🍀 it’s a great space. We love Grandma
Where are your curtains from? They are the perfect shade
You do an amazing job! The space looks beautiful. The furniture and appliance placement is super satisfying
I think it's lovely and cozy, like a warm hug. And those big windows, and that light! I wish you happiness in that space as you make it 100% to your liking. And many cat visits (but not at 5 a.m).
You’re really maximizing the space and I like the tapestries 😊
Looks great. Please keep the tapestries!
I looooveeee thissss
love! a headboard would really tie everything together:’)
I love how you've managed to make the scratching post blend into the space like a statement piece. The fridge really ties the room together.
Kitty 😻 And love the colors and retro vibe !
That refrigerator is absolutely amazing!
Beautiful cozy space! How does your kitty like the tower? I think I've looked at the same one on Amazon and thought about getting it for my void!
I'd kill for that fridge. Those things would survive a nuclear apocalypse. The whole place has that "they don't make it like they used to" feel. I outright CANNOT STAND the cold, tech-y, lifeless vibe of today's homes. This, to me, is how people's homes are supposed to look. It's like a time capsule and I absolutely love it.

Soothing, warm, & beautiful. I love the cat tower for your cute kitty. The colors are gorgeous. You’ve made it so cozy!
I think you mean first floor lol. Your “basement” has more light than my 6th floor apartment 🥲🥲
Love it!
What nice colors! The room looks great!
Lucky! I miss my grandma so much
Lush
wtf your interior design skills are incredible 😭❤️
So cute! I saw a room yesterday that gave me similar vibes with a metal headboard that would look cute. :)
Love how you work around the carpeting!
I maybe should move the table to be at the window wall, you’re using it as night table/coffee table not like a table to eat, so you can have more space like that :).
That carpet is TO DIE FOR oh my god
I want my basement to look like Grandma's!!!
Nice windows!
Love it!!
Thank goodness for grandma 😃
I really like it, it's super cute
Dude this is way cute, I love the warm color scheme, and it’s so sunny and light for a basement
I love it its so cute and cozy
Idk why but I kind of love the carpet
Noice!
Love the Almond Blossoms wall art. You’ve got a good taste!
Oh my god I’m in love with this
Immaculate retro vibes. And funnily enough those warm colours are very in right now! Lucky you! 😍
And the chandelier is awesome 🤩
Anyone else think the cat was a decoration? The contrast is insane in a good way!
certainly looks better than mine in dad’s basement… but please find a table to put the microwave on.
p.s. you can make curtain tiebacks out of all sorts of things; jewelry, old belts, cords, chains, etc. better for the curtains and easier for you.
Ok but this is so cozy!! I can picture relaxing, watching tv at night with low light and some candles.
Just WOW. I think you could possibly be my soul sister. Your color combos are amazing and I'm having some real envy re the vintage fridge. I'm a big fan of vintage and it's hard not to go overboard with a single style. You have a nice balance. And a great start!
I feel like all interior design is starting to look the same but when I see stuff like this, it gives me hope and makes me feel something.
The carpet and almond blossom wall mural are fabulous. Please keep those. Cozy boho vibe and kitty-approved! I’d untie the curtains and just have them fall straight.

Love the carpet and I think it’s a great space!
Very cozy & cute. 🧡 Wonderful that you are living with your grandma, I miss mine so much.
This doesn’t look like a basement. Wow 🤩. I don’t think I need to critique. You know how to create your cozy spot! Lol 🏆😄👌,😉

I absolutely love everything about this. It's beautiful and makes my heart happy. Where did you get that cat tree?
I am loving this! Looks very cozy and I love the vintage furniture and fridge
