Layer Bold Textures and Patterns

Don't be afraid to mix and match different fabrics and prints within your rental. Combining a velvet sofa with woven rugs and patterned pillows creates depth. This approach draws the eye around the room, making your apartment rental feel like a sophisticated designer suite. It’s all about creating visual interest through rich, tactile variety and high-contrast elements.

Tall wooden shelves

Utilize Vertical Space for Decor

When floor space is limited, look up to showcase your style and collections. Install floating shelves or tall bookcases to display books, art, and plants. This strategy keeps your walkways clear while allowing your maximalist spirit to shine. By drawing the gaze upward, you emphasize the height of your home, celebrating every inch of your unique living area.
