Aesthetic apartment decor tips
- Start with a neutral base of warm white, beige or greige and build colour through accents.
- Layer textures such as linen, boucle, wool, rattan and wood to add warmth and depth.
- Use statement lighting like a paper globe pendant, mushroom lamp or plug-in wall light to set the mood.
- Incorporate greenery with easy plants such as pothos, snake plants and a larger fiddle leaf fig or olive tree.
- Display personal items in curated vignettes of books, ceramics, candles and photos grouped in odd numbers.
- Embrace multi-functional, minimalist furniture like storage ottomans, extending tables and sofa beds.
Tip: Use flameless candles if you rent or have pets, check plants such as pothos and fiddle leaf figs are kept out of reach of cats, dogs and children as they can be toxic if chewed, and secure tall furniture to the wall with an anti-tip kit.
