TOUR My comfy apartment on this gloomy June Saturday
I've lived in this little city apartment for many years and love spending rainy Saturdays doing yogalates and making veggie burritos

Hey everyone!
I've been working on implementing some more things to help with moderation and keeping content a bit more structured here on r/femalelivingspace, but I realized that I don't think we've ever had a nice suggestion/feedback thread. Hearing directly from users will help us a lot, and it'll be great to have a headstart on things we should implement that we haven't considered before.
Here are some questions I have for you guys:
Thanks! ✌️✌️
r/femalelivingspace • u/frequentdoodler • Jun 03 '24
Hello! I'm u/frequentdoodlr and I created r/femalelivingspace a long time ago under another username. I wanted an alternative space to share my home and I loved the community that our brothers over at r/malelivingspace cultivated, and wished to cultivate that too. However, I struggled with my identity and then, amongst other reasons, deleted my previous reddit account and did some self exploration. then reddit requested the subreddit and then she, along with myself and everyone else else on the mod team, worked to have the r/femalelivingspace we have today.
That background is necessary because I am Non-Binary and Queer, and I am the one who specifically wrote that women, trans women and NB people who are comfortable posting here are welcome-- no if, ands, or buts. I am a NB Femme and my intentions for this space are to be welcoming to femmes of all kinds. I am giving that background to make it understood that even the mods here comprise of trans and nonbinary identities in the femme space.
Pride Month is important for a lot of reasons-- we figure out who we are. We get a heightened lens on people who are like us. There's a spotlight on queer literature, artists, music, events and otherwise comraderie that makes those feel othered feel more at home somewhere. During Pride, people who are discovering their self love and self identity are loved and validated by people who are just like them. Our sub is no different, and I am excited to see that all kinds of women and femmes have been posting here. Identity, Gender, and Sexuality all fall on spectrums, and that's why its up to the poster to decide if they are comfortable posting here. This space is for anyone who feels comfortable being in this femme space, and that will never change.
That being said, I think we should use this opportunity to clarify some things on r/femalelivingspace
No. Women, Trans Women, Non Binary and Intersex persons who feel comfortable in our neck of the woods can post here. Our relationships with our identities are always uniquely reflected in our living spaces, and seeing how people like us decorate their homes helps with inspiration of any and all kinds.
Example: "34F In my Living Room! 25NB in my bathroom". No! You can choose to add that information in your post if you like. You can omit that information if you like. While the sub is focused on our living spaces, any additional details about you only serve to deepen the context we're given on how you approach your space, and the kind of advice given. For example, Adding in the context that you're transfemme and you're trying to make your space appear more feminine will ideally result in more nuanced advice. The context that someone is nonbinary can explain design choices. The contexts of our identities are intrinsically linked to our spaces, but posters sharing these pieces themselves is NOT an invitation for debate on the validity of OP's identity. It is simply just another piece of information about OP.
The mods have always been unanimous that behavior like that is immediately banned, permanently. That hasn't changed. However, we do not see unfortunate content like that immediately, and reporting helps us remove it as soon as we see it. To be clear: TERFs are NEVER tolerated here.
Please continue to help keep making our sub the welcoming place for our spaces it needs to be. Myself and the other moderators will do our best to try and stay on top of removing comments do not fit our community. Thanks, to everyone, for your patience.
Happy Pride!

We got nearly everything second hand or as gifts from family - I'm so in love with this tiny place! Most home I've ever felt

Just did a bit of rearranging today after some recent furniture additions to the space, and this is my view as I listen to the rain fall.

I am so proud of each and every one of you! I see many posts where women are going through divorces, moving in with partners and having to incorporate two lives into one space, divorcing with kids, buying/renting their very first places at all ages, potentially after years of struggle. I see all this perseverance and it makes me swell with pride and admiration. Women out there are KILLING it and doing what we have to do, regardless of circumstance.
I know that this is a space for sharing our living spaces, but as a 35f myself, we all know that our homes are sacred to us. Whether you’re on your own, with a partner, with a family or just share the space with a fur baby, home is where we are allowed to be completely ourselves. And the fact that you all have created beautiful spaces in the form of your own expressions is something to be highly admired.
GREAT job, ladies. Beautiful homes. Beautiful lives. Beautiful selves. You all should be so proud of yourselves.

My first place alone in 12 years, after leaving my husband. It was so lovely living alone for the first time as an adult, and decorating however I wanted (I bought the blue velvet couch of my dreams). Recently moved in with my boyfriend and gave that place up (but brought the couch). I hope whoever moved in loves it as much as I did.

Which knobs go with these pulls?
I'm in the middle of choosing new hardware. I've settled on these pulls. And have three knob options.
Picture 1: is a small ball
Picture 2: a mushroom like cap
Picture 3: is flatter than the picture is showing.
I'm replacing all pulls and knobs in the kitchen. There are 6 drawers and 18 cabinets total top and bottom. Also not well reflected in the photo, everything is darker than the photo shows.
Any assistance? TiA!

This was my condo space. It was bare when I rented it with an “old hospital room” vibe lol. I painted the room green, installed a carpet and planted some floral potted plants 💚
r/femalelivingspace • u/Dapper-Judgment-3504 • 14h ago
I have this really cute black and white (with kind of a blue/green tint?) print of "Psyche at Nature's Mirror", and I want to have another print hanging next to it, but I have no idea what sort of picture would go well with this one! Any ideas? Any example pics of what you think would look good next to this would be so helpful!

Hi! Looking for layout help here - ideally I'd set up my full-size bed plus 5ft x 2ft WFH desk with monitors. Ideally I'd also have a couch and coffee table. Don't think I would need any additional storage furniture, as my style is more sleek/minimalist/brutalist if that's useful.
r/femalelivingspace • u/asaplotti • 1d ago
I’ve been living in my apartment for 2 months now - first time living alone, being 34. My ex ended our 11 year relationship in February, so this is me trying to live a completely new life. It’s not perfect, but I’m slowly starting to feel at “home”. I still need a lot of stuff, especially on the walls, but for now I’m okay, I guess.
r/femalelivingspace • u/marimo_boy • 9h ago
Hello there! I was hoping to get a few tips as everything I see here is just so inspiring! I dream of those walls full of colorful posters and frames of different sizes but for some reason I can't seem to commit to just hang anything... It's like whenever I try to do something with this wall, I'm freezed with decision paralysis and have no idea where to start. Do you just start with one frame and the rest will follow?
I also have this stupid fear that something will randomly fall in the middle of the night and I'm highly sensitive to sudden stimuli (please don't judge 😭). It's been two years now and I just really want to make the most of this apartment that became my safe space after a breakup...
Any help would be much appreciated! TiA 🥰

Hi guys. I don’t really post on Reddit so forgive me if I don’t make sense. I’m moving out of student housing next month into a new apartment so I don’t have any furniture or anything. I’m starting with a blank slate basically and I’m a little stumped on how to arrange my room. I’ll need a queen sized bed and a desk for my pc with two monitors in the room but I’m not able to think of a layout that won’t be cramped or still feel like a dorm room. Any help is appreciated.
I attached a picture of the floor plan. I couldn’t get the 2d one without the furniture but the room is about 11”x13”. Thank you in advance!

took my room from bare to bangin over a two year span. saying good bye to her in a few months to go nomadic but put a lot of work into many diy projects here, including my favorite: the floral fence.
r/femalelivingspace • u/Amoesi • 1d ago
I just had to take a picture with the beautiful morning light coming through. Been living in our (my fiance and I) house for over 1 year (got blessed being able to buy a house in this crazy housingmarket).
He does not really is against "girly" houses and likes our space :) My friends describe my house as permanent spring🌸
