Simply removing clutter, painting the walls a happy yellow and straightening the paintings can work wonders. I still suggest framing the photo prints and lower them, if you really want to keep them.

They look like the floors in my previous home. Mine changed color too,it didn’t bother me. Since my current home is at least 75% glass I had the west, south & east facing glass treated with a clear UV protectant, also have solar shades which I rarely close. Mine were tinted to protect art.

I just realized the way to deal with a mix of woods you get when your floors and furniture and cabinetry are a mix of pine, maple, oak, and walnut is to treat them as colors: yellow, orange, and red. Then you can decide if you want to heat things up by adding brighter reds, oranges and yellow to fully embrace an analogous color scheme, or if you want to go for a split complementary color scheme by adding blue, or if you want to get really exciting with a split-split complementary scheme by adding periwinkle and teal. Why not mirror the full range of woods you have with the full range of blues available with periwinkle, teal, and blue in the middle? And of course you can tone them down for walls and ceilings while including accents in brighter colors. I may just head that direction in my living/dining room of antique wood pieces instead of staining the newer pieces.

Consider “international dark sky” ideals regarding night lighting. Rather than having lighting on an automatic timer, plan for lighting that can be switched on only when you are enjoying those areas. This would minimize night time light pollution. Night creature’s rhythms are disrupted by artificial lighting also.

Not one mention on the devastating impact that night lighting is having on our night pollinators and birds ( and humans, due to interference in our circadian rhythms). Do you enjoy fireflies? Their signalling to one another can only be done in darkness.
if you must light up your property, please pay attention to what the article says about down lighting, and turn off your lights when you have finished enjoying them.

Light pollution is detrimental to birds and other wildlife. The health of wildlife should be more important than aesthetics.

The short answer is they aren't. In the design world the TV is a required but hated element. If you want advise on your specific space, draw up a floor plan and tell us what furniture you have what you are willing to buy. The rooms you showed are not 'TV rooms' they are living rooms that are tolerating a TV.

I like the distance between me and my neighbor measured in feet rather than inches; and the more feet the better.






I would look at a compact stackable washer/dryer with a smaller depth so it doesn’t come out too close to door or get in way of wall switches.
Vent locations can be changed to provide safe and effective ventilation for the dryer, so I’d decide on a layout that you want and then see what changes need to be made for vent, drain, etc.
I agree that it is a bad method but it's common here and needs to be dealt with as an ongoing maintenance issue. My dryer in New York also exhausted directly out the wall and was never an issue.
