My favorite pieces in my apartment

Finding the right furniture and decor pieces for you space takes time, so don’t rush into buying the first thing you find!

I’ve been collecting things for my apartment over the course of several years, and I think that’s the key to having a really curated and cohesive space. Here are some of my favorite pieces I’ve purchased!

... Read moreWhen it comes to decorating your apartment, choosing the right furniture and decor can significantly impact the overall feel of your space. Many people rush into purchases, but the best results come from curated collections that reflect personal style over time. In my journey to create a beautifully designed apartment, I’ve learned the importance of taking time to gather unique pieces that speak to me. Every item tells a story, whether it’s a vintage coffee table or a modern art piece. Mixing styles and eras can add depth to your space, making it uniquely yours. Here are some key tips to consider while collecting decor for your apartment: First, start with a vision. Decide on a color palette and theme that resonates with you. This will help guide your purchases and ensure everything harmonizes in your living space. Secondly, don't shy away from thrift shops or flea markets. Often, you can find one-of-a-kind items that won't break the bank. Lastly, prioritize quality over quantity. A few well-chosen pieces can have a more significant impact than an overwhelming number of low-quality items. By taking these steps, you can create a cozy and personal atmosphere in your apartment that reflects your style and tastes. Happy decorating!

My girly apartment
For me a girly apartment means lots of candles, calming neutrals, books that act as decor, whimsical sculptures, fluffy bedding and so much more! Can’t wait to add more girly pieces in the future - I’m thinking more art, colorful coffee table books, fuzzy throw pillows, and a soft throw blanket

Before I moved into my apartment
Before I moved into my apartment versus now! The difference is so stark 😱 Remember that decorating a home takes time so make sure you find pieces that you really love and are gonna take with you throughout your different spaces! That way you’re not buying new things in each space. #Lemon8pa
