Hey everyone! Looking for any interior decorator aficionados out there. For as long as I can remember I've never been able to decorate spaces where I live and would love some advice!

I've been at my current home a few years and my living room is painted, but the walls are empty. We have some furniture (couch, entertainment center, key ring holder) and our TV but you really wouldn't be able to tell who lives there or what type of people we are. This is the case for all of our rooms.

Does anyone have or know of any guides/tips/suggestions for making a space feel more "lived-in" or "home-y"? I'm not sure where to start aside from family pictures, but then get stressed about messing up our walls or something "looking wrong" and having to redo/undo it all. Any way to get past that mindset as well is definitely welcome!

Any help is appreciated, thanks everyone!

I have a Home Decoration Guide - Whiterun that I'd let you take off my hands if you want. Definitely recommend filling up trophy cases, weapon and shield racks as well as bookshelves from your favorite plot lines, arcanery or narratives. Have something cooking. And or course, don't forget the furniture and wall decor.

I’ll have to look that up! Would definitely love a guide for extra info/tips and inspiration. I think wall decor is our largest hurdle, along with making sure to keep clutter to a minimum. Having a toddler makes it difficult sometimes.
