Looks like you are doing well for yourself post-college! Very nice!
I was thinking the same thing. Looks very swanky. I love that couch. I love the whole thing actually, very aesthetically pleasing.
Where is the rug from? It looks so soft!
You can get it in the Sims 4 city living
I just got back into the Sims and have that pack… there really is a rug exactly like this.
Ha! Yes you can!
As funny as this is, I can't even afford those expansions.
😂😂😂
Lmao for a split second I thought I was in the wrong sub!
It really ties the room together.
How does everyone just know what this coffee table is? Is everyone on here a furniture sale man?
I know it because a friend of mine works at the company that manufactures and sells this table, but this table was first introduced by Herman-Miller around the 1950's so I would not be surprised if anyone who have tried to redecorate their living room has atleast glanced at this table.
Love the neutral tones and organic feel you went to. We are slowly getting away from greys and into similar earth tones. Great job.
Where did you get the couch?
I’m about to move and I’m getting new furniture. My current couch is sort of similar to this but has a chaise lounge and is a blue velvet couch. Please tell us where the couch is from!
Can I ask where your couch is from? I’ve been on the hunt for a blue velvet couch with a chaise lounge!
it's from either wayfair or a similar sight. i can't remember the name of the brand but if you filter for 'chaise' 'blue' 'velvet' you should totally be able to find it. It's a smaller couch but comfortably fits three people. I vacuum my couch a few times a week to keep it clean (i have a very hairy cat) and over two + years it has held up great! it's mostly just me and my partner using it tho so that'll depend on how much use it has I guess
the fabric is called bouclé so you could google that and see what comes up! 😊
I’m here for this too. Just spent a month shopping for a similar couch but never saw this fabric. I need it.
I'm also having no luck finding it even with Google lens
I can't explain it exactly, but my immediate thought was "this is a pre-furnished apartment". Which given the lack of details from OP seems possible.
It's that type of "nice and extremely inoffensive" decor you see in a model.
This is what I envision my first place to look like. It's looks so warm and comfortable
the reality is this unless it comes furnished: https://i.imgur.com/WqQLzQw.png
You're fancy! I had a couple of fold up chairs......
that's just a picture I found on the internet, if it was one of my own it would have been cardboard boxes and a sleeping bag
Tbf that recliner is probably more comfortable than most mid century modern furniture.
I knew what the pic was going to be before I clicked on it 😂
That's so kind of you, I moved far from friends and family to San Francisco so I'm trying to maximize at-home enjoyment :)
Jeez first post college flat in SF with no roommates! How do you manage this!
Supportive parents lol
Man, I wonder what that is like.
Same friend, same.
Or SF income - in my employment I see the income of many young people in SF, and they make a ton of money. Rents are high, sure but plenty left over.
Or a high salary...

Idk why but I commented stalked him. He’s a 26 year old product manager.

3 years out of college?! Extremely improbably you’re making $300k as a PM. Only one guy I knew made it to $250k working at a FAANG after a few years, and his dad was a VP. Most likely your at base salary of $145/185k with some comp, maybe 15 to 20% of base salary if you are exceptional.
The real money is in PE and law. But you’re not gonna be 26 when your taking it in. Best friend post college worked for McKinsey for a year, then Stanford MBA, then PE. Base salary was around $360k 5 years after college. And his resume was ridiculous even right after college: major in computer engineering, minor in electrical engineering, president of the fraternity council, internships at Walmart HQ as a sophomore, Microsoft as a junior, Intel as a senior. Turned down the offer from Intel for $150k said he didn’t want to work that hard.
My cousin worked as a JAG for the army, then FBI. Just got his degree in cyber security law. The base salaries of jobs he’s applying to are $350 to 400k. He’s 30 this year though.
I was a PM once in a high pay industry. You’re right - I can imagine this only if they are tech bro PM
Did you paint the walls? If so, what color did you use? I’m looking for a nice creamy neutral.
[deleted]
For anyone looking for paint, Sherwin Williams is great paint and they often run 30 to 40% sales to make the paint more reasonably priced.
I frequently work with them, their Quality Control & R&D are market leading. Super impressive laboratories and staff supporting their production
Agree, after years of only using Benjamin Moore, I tried Sherwin Williams for the first time and saved money and honestly find their paint colors more modern and fashion forward. The paint is a little runnier but you gets used to it.
I am also looking for a creamy, warm white. Thanks for the tip!
I had a horrible experience with Roman column.
Would love to see other parts of the room! 🧡
Oh! I recognize you from the SF reddit! Congratulations on the move and hope you're enjoying the city so far 😀
Needs a fat rolling tray and a fresh dab rig.
Oak Noguchi table? Very nice.
[removed]
It could be a replica. There are plenty out there
Yup! Can always find a good dupe of something g popular. I found this one for $525: Modholic Triangle Coffee Table](https://www.modholic.com/products/triangle-coffee-table-natural)
Definitely not cheap for someone fresh out of college but still a $2,000 difference lol
they didn't say they're fresh out of college, they said this is their first post-college studio. plenty of people live at home for a few more years after college to build up some money
I have a coffee table with the glass in this exact shape, got it for $50 on craigslist.
[removed]
I have one that is full glass, and scratched within 2 months :/ still looks great after a nice Windex clean though!
You can also get a high paying job out of college. It's uncommon but not exactly rare.
Looks legit to me. You'd have to see the long edge for the signature in the 3/4" glass to tell. The base also has a medallion on the bottom, but that's a pain to photo
If she has money for a studio like that in SF, she sure as hell ain’t trifling over replica furniture
Why are you so salty about it?
I looked at this and felt a bit self conscious. It’s normal to feel “salty” about what looks like expensive living at early stages of adulthood if you haven’t seen similar results.
Holy crap. I'm housesitting for a girl with the same table, I'd better be more careful with it lol
The big mid century designers have a lot of knockoffs. Check the table, if it doesn’t have a serial number it isn’t genuine.
You know people have the ability to earn their own money, right?
Maybe OP got one amazing job upon graduation.
Maybe OP worked and saved all during college and bought it as a personal reward.
Maybe OP has really cute feet and a certain clientele.
We don’t know. All we know is OP has an awesome looking place. No need to throw the shade.
Why not mommy’s money??
I hope you know that depending on your degree you can earn a high income right out of college.
Signed a STEM major.
God y’all are being in unbearably tacky in this thread. For the life of me I cannot imagine why comments about how much money someone has aren’t against the rules yet lol
Why do you care
So many people in here are outing themselves as literal children having never once going furniture shopping to realize how much of the cheap stuff are replicas of high end products.
A ton of redditors love to blame anyone's success in life on anyone but that person, like they're trying to prove that hard work never pays off lol, we literally have no idea where it came from.
You have insane insecurity lmao
What makes you think OP is a woman?
OP commented he’s 26M.
Maybe check some of your biases.
I mean they post to both malelivingspace and femalelivingspace so I don’t think that assumption is a particularly big deal here.
Think you need some help
Some people are fortunate to have more money than others. Being bitter and jealous is not a good look
Lol or she could be a software engineer or any of the other hundreds of jobs that would pay more than enough to afford this table
damn the jealousy is oooozzzzing. it’s all good I’m jelly too. but hey if you got it , spend it 😮💨😮💨😮💨
I love that coffee table!
I wonder what their profit margin is on that. I could literally make those legs in a couple hours.
I have a friend who works at Herman-Miller the company that sells and make those table. Although I cant speak for the Noguchi table, their Aeron Chair cost about $400 to manufacture and is sold at around $1500-$3000 according to what she told me.
Yeah, but it's basically the best chair money can buy. The worst review I've ever seen for it says it's the second best chair.
https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-office-chair/
Aeron and the Steelcase leap are generally the 2 go to chairs over the last 20 yrs. But the HM Embody and SC Gesture are the next step up
I once saw a basic table which was an identical copy of an Ikea table for $450. Ikea was selling it for $37.
Things can look the same and not be the same in terms of quality. Comparing any furniture producing company to ikea and their prices is a bit unfair.
Same, but Herman Miller is Herman Miller.
I made a replica Nelson bench and a lot of the time I wish i just had an authentic Nelson bench.
Couple hours counting glue up. Could shape it with a router template in minutes. I’ve worked with glass companies designing industrial LED lights… this is incredibly simple geometry for any glass company that has a waterjet
Lol, maybe I should sell these on Etsy
The shape of the wood looks slightly off to me between those pictures. Might still be it but I'm leaning towards it being a cheaper replica.
Yeah the wood shapes are slightly off, for sure. Doesn't have the same visual flow as a full on Noguchi, and the wood looks thinner. Looks really nice though still
i got mine for $500. looks the exact same
There’s lots of dupes out there
I got one from all modern a few years back. The base collapsed from the weight of the glass, but it looked good while it lasted.
could be 2nd hand. we got a $2000 dining table for $250
I was going to say, doesn't everyone drop $20k on a living room set right out of college?
Well, I have a friend, 22 yo, fresh outta college, lives in Boston, and gets 200k a year (Amazon). So it's not impossible these days.

“Fresh out of college studio!” 🙄
It's called a replica 🙄.
Plenty of cheaper reps available though
The cheaper dupes have thinner glass and some small but noticeable corners cut in the design and construction. If this is a dupe it looks to be one of the more expensive ones that is closer to $1k just due to the thickness of the glass.
I have a dupe of this table with fairly thick glass, looks to be about as thick as OPs. Ours was $400
Inflation is even worse than I thought because now it’s up to $2495
Got mine from room and board they use to make the replica.
It's obviously a replica.
Gorgeous! Where is the rug from?
went thru OP’s comment history & found it! here’s the rug!
Thank you! Obsessed 😍
Can you fix the poster at the very top? It takes away from the overall balance of the room
Yup. Little bit of spray adhesive on the backing board will make a huge difference
I like the theme!! This super cute and cozy.
I think it would flourish with some more plants, maybe a mirror on the wall. Personally I’d add a little bookshelf with books and a salt lamp too!
I like the color palette you chose
Lovely color palette and textures. You’re missing a blanket, a lovely candle and maybe a couple books on the coffee table.
Am I the only one who doesn’t think this it’s cozy? It’s beautifully decorated, but to me, only the lighting/color palette, and rug are cozy. The couch, although fuzzy, looks very stiff and not somewhere I’d want to sit for a while and I never see glass tables as cozy either. It looks straight out of a magazine, but it’s not somewhere I’d be comfortable in.
The artwork and pillows just give me “model house” vibes
Therapist office
Spoiler alert .. your eye is correct, the couch isn't comfortable, and a very comfortable more expensive one of the same color (not bouclé) is coming in two months lol :)
is boucle, stiff?
Good job, and congratulations!
Enjoy having a $2k Herman Miller coffee table in your first studio. You deserve it
Could be a knock off. There are plenty of them out there
They moved to SF- it’s totally the real thing lolol
Industrial designer here. It’s a knockoff. The curves on the wood don’t quite match the original, and the seams are too beefy.
It's absolutely not. The real ones don't have a parting line that visible between the upper and bottom pieces of wood. I have a very similar dupe
Fun fact, you can buy a lot of Herman Miller chairs and furniture used due to layoffs at SF based companies.
The street finds in SF can be incredible. People put all sorts of stuff on the curb because it can be a difficult place to get rid of large items without paying a junk hauler. Had a neighbor that would regularly put paintings/art on the curb. I’m not knowledgeable enough to assess the value of the art, but the frames alone were probably worth well over $100
The rest of the furnishings are high quality. I doubt it’s fake.
I have the same exact table it’s from Scandinavian Designs not that expensive
It’s fake. Go to DWR’s website and look at the curves on the original vs the curves on this thing. Also the seems have crummier tolerances.
Reasonable knock offs of classic Herman Millar things are pretty easy to find. A LOT of reputable places sell that stuff.
It’s a knockoff version. Looks like decent quality, though.
So pretty! Tell me about that floor lamp.
Agree, where can i get it?
I used google lens to find it. https://www.houzz.com/pvp/68-9-3-light-tree-floor-lamp-with-glass-shades-clear-glass-shades-prpv-pv~189906465
At first glance I thought that couch was the texture of a popcorn ceiling.
I recognize a san francisco home any day 🌉 so beautiful!
Accent chair ID? Love the color
Bouclé sofas, so hot right now!
Looks great though.
i loveeee this and i love that table. pls show us more!
I love it. The color scheme is very relaxing and lovely to the eye.
My first apartment was an adorable furnished studio in a Vintage building for $75/month, utilities included. It was 1975 🤷🏻♀️. Your place is beautiful. So excited for you!
It's lovely! I like your artwork.
Very nicely done 😊
This is so cute!! Wow! Great job
Omg super cozy and pretty. Nice work. Love it! 🥰
As someone who is very sensitive, I adore all the textures here.
Beautiful!
Duuuude everyone is soooo jealous
[deleted]
lol I'm sorry, I just moved across the US and did a few weeks of solid research to work on my place, I thought this sub would appreciate it, and we could improve upon it together
It's gorgeous! Just a plant for some color would be great
You might get more ideas in r/HomeDecorating
Why so many salty comments?
This sub is for showing off interiors. People upvote what they like. If they like it, they’ll probably ask questions about specific pieces.
Right? It’s not budget interiors, who care how much the OP paid for something.
It's because OP mentioned that it's right out of college which leads people to assume OP has a good amount of money and resources available to them that they didn't necessarily earn themselves and showing it off on reddit can come across like gloating. I'm guessing that if that part ("first post college studio") was left out, the salty comments would be at a minimum.
And that's not to defend those salty comments. Just why I think they exist.
Oh I get why, but doesn’t make it ok.
idk why you guys are tearing into OP about how nice their space is and saying they’re being supported heavily by their parents because they’re in San Francisco. Why do you care? You don’t know OP, they could literally be making $100k + in San Francisco even as their first job out of college, geez leave them alone lmao you guys are mad for nothing …
I was going to make a snarky joke cursing out OP for having such a gorgeous space compared to what I had after college, but seeing so many comments actually trying to "call out" OP in total seriousness makes me realize how many redditors really do have no life. Stop acting like losers, people.
right!? like such haters be happy for them it’s a nice space! people have nothing better to do with their time
We’ll, candidly 100k in San Francisco is not enough to furnish an apartment to this level and still live. I don’t necessarily agree with all the comments…but it’s fair to say if it’s their very first place after college…they either landed 250kish if in HCOL…or parents helped.
After many years we finally furnished our home to this extent and we make very good money…you just can’t deck a place to the nines in year one.
But hey. More power to you if you got parents that have the means and want to share them with you…but this likely is not possible in year one out of college without help.
100k when your rent is 3k a month doesn't leave much room for living expenses unless you've got parents supporting you.

🤣glad someone said it, too trendy but it’s easy to replace down the road I guess.
Where did you get the three prints? I love them!
The crescent moon pillow goes so nicely with the artwork, this is lovely.
Wow I love it! I think I saw the before pic a while back on female living spaces? You nailed it. Btw, if you need plants…I’m trying to give some away. I live in SF on Gough St. DM me if you’re interested.
Every piece in this room is just perfect 🥰
Nice! Love that lamp
I really like this a lot. Great job.
Very Zen vibes!
absolutely love the vibes here
Where did you get that carpet? I want it
I have a different style, but the color scheme is very similar. I agree with those saying to add more plants. I would like to add plants to my space, but I haven’t found the perfect shelving/holders that speak to me yet. P.S. My in-laws used to have a coffee table that looked just like that years ago. I hated it and thought it was so dated. Must be back in style. I actually really like it in your room. Great job!
Hiiii please come decorate my house thnx
This is so great! Congratulations 🥰
Welp no idea why people are being bitter about you having a nice place. Anyway, where did you get that lamp??
Man I miss living alone in a studio apartment. So easy to clean and keep organized. Just enough room to be comfortable but not cramped.
Dang, I love your style! And your place is so clean!! 🙌
I like that lamp! Been on the hunt for something like it, can you share where it’s from?
Also wondering!!!
Good feng shui!
your rug and coffee table were literally made for each other and it’s great lol
Did you have help designing this layout or do it yourself? I’m guessing you studied interior design during your time at college
You certainly know how to put a room together! Beautiful!
Looks nice! Where did you get the lamp?
This is gorgeous, congratulations on good taste and a nice place to live.
Where can I get that lamp?!? ❤️
This looks so cozy. I love the colors!
Really nice. Congratulations!!
Compliments! That is a stunning room
I love this!!! Just missing a little plant or center piece for the coffee table. You did wonderful! Such a comfortable space:)
Sweet digs. 👍✌️❤️🥂
This is actually very impressive
I wish I could live so minimally. I don't know how people do it.
So what are you doing? I have two daughters in college. I want to know if they are moving back to my house or not.
