From floating shelves to faux built-in storage and gallery walls, sprucing up an apartment shouldn’t be a problem. At ORO, we encourage our renters to make their apartments as comfortable as possible so they can feel welcome in their private sanctuary. You can take advantage of DIY apartment décor, mirrors, the latest designer trends, and more. Check out our DIY décor ideas below for more ways to spruce up your apartment.

DIY Mirrors, Decor, Oh My!

One simple apartment living trend you can use to spruce up your space is through mirrors. You can add mirrors to your bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, entrance, living room, and other places. Take advantage of decorative frames that match the season and décor you have. You can choose options that allow frame repainting to achieve different looks at different times. Mirrors increase the depth of view and can make a small space look larger. You can also play around with apartment décor ideas. Popular apartment trends include painting furniture items like bed frames and dressers. Use furniture colors as a springboard for other decorative items you want to incorporate into your space. You can also use the same colors on your fabrics and accessories. Strive to create harmony between the different options.

Budget-Friendly Designer Looks

You can add DIY aesthetics with budget-friendly designer looks like floating shelves, ideal furniture, built-in storage and apartment kitchen storage. Floating shelves let you show off your collection of mementos and decorative objects. They also work as rotating displays that you can update whenever you want. Choose wood or metal colors that blend with most furniture styles. Dress up your windows with DIY curtains and throw down colorful rugs if you want to mask the apartment flooring finish. Consider replacing the plain lighting fixtures with trendy crafted alternatives. ORO is conveniently located in Central Portland, with many boutiques, art galleries and antique shops, so you can pick up different items, including lighting fixtures, artwork, pillows, and table-top decorations.

Finally, the vibrant colors of spring begin to bloom. It’s time to refresh our living spaces with the latest decor trends. At ORO Apartments in Pearl District, Portland, we’re enthusiastic about embracing these trends to create inviting and stylish homes for our residents. From incorporating more color and pastels to adding designer finishes on a budget, let’s explore the exciting decor ideas that will elevate apartment living this season.

Adding More Colors and Pastels

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to breathe new life into your apartment is by infusing it with color. This spring, we’re seeing a resurgence of pastel hues like soft blues, gentle greens, and blush pinks. These subtle tones can instantly brighten up a space without making any permanent alterations to your apartment home. Consider adding pops of pastel through accent pillows, throws, and artwork to create a refreshing and cheerful ambiance. Additionally, introducing indoor plants can add a splash of natural color and purify the air, contributing to a healthier living environment.

Designer Finishes On A Budget

Who says you need to break the bank to achieve a designer look? At ORO Apartments, we understand the importance of stylish living on a budget. Fortunately, there are plenty of local resources where residents can find affordable yet chic decor pieces. Explore nearby thrift stores, flea markets, and consignment shops for unique finds. They will add personality to your space without draining your wallet.

Take advantage of the city’s unique charm by exploring local gems like the iconic Portland Japanese Garden or the bustling Saturday Market. For outdoor enthusiasts, a stroll along the Willamette River waterfront or a hike through Forest Park offers breathtaking views and opportunities to connect with nature. Whatever your interests may be, Portland has something to offer for everyone to enjoy.

Enhance Your Springtime Apartment Living Experience

Is it true that an ORO apartment can feel like home? With a few touches, you truly can. All you need are simple apartment trends to help and give you direction.

Add Trendy And Timeless Builtins

What is the most important part of a home? The living room, of course. So, firstly, you need to make sure you make the living room super cozy. Firstly, make the sitting area very comfortable. Get a cozy couch and fluffy throw pillow, and add a fluffy carpet to complete the atmosphere.

Next, make sure your kitchen is organized and spacious. This is where you want to add some faux built-in storage to hide away any unappealing, aesthetic-lacking things.

To tie everything together, add some potted herbs or hanging flowers to elevate the atmosphere.

The bedroom, just like the living room, needs to be extra cozy, so pick out items that will keep you nice and cozy. Ensure you have some fluffy, bright-colored bedding with a fluffy carpet on the floor. You can add some flowers to your bedroom too if you like.

Opt for Furniture With Storage

There are countless ways you can store things around your apartment. This will help you create space and display any eye-catching things that can be displayed.

  • Get some risers. These are especially helpful in the pantry. These will help create more room for more food in your pantry.
  • Tiered Shower Caddies are very useful for creating more space in the bathroom. They are also very aesthetically pleasing.
  • Over-the-door racks are very handy for storing shoes. With these, you can store your shoes on your wardrobe door, making more room in your bedroom.

Living Room Ideas for You

There are many ways to approach making your apartment space into your home. You can achieve your goal with a little more research to add to what we’ve shared with you. So, the ball is in your court.

Designing With A Festive Eye

Living in an apartment like those at ORO doesn’t mean you can’t go big on holiday decor. Start with essential Christmas apartment staples such as string lights and LED candles to create a cozy and magical atmosphere. Non-permanent decorations like festive window clings and removable wall art are great for adding holiday spirit without leaving any marks.

Embrace the unique Portland, OR, vibe by incorporating local elements into your decor. Think about using ornaments that represent Portland’s iconic landmarks or the lush greenery of the Pacific Northwest. A compact, artificial Christmas tree, adorned with eco-friendly decorations or handmade ornaments can add a personal and sustainable touch to your holiday setting.

The Perfect Setup For Your Aesthetic & Vibe

A centerpiece featuring natural elements like pinecones, holly, and candles in the dining area can create a cozy, festive atmosphere. Switch up your bedroom decor with holiday-themed bedding, or throw in rich, warm colors that reflect the season while keeping Portland’s cool winter weather in mind.

Details like seasonal throw pillows, a collection of festive mugs, or a holiday-themed table runner can spread cheer throughout your apartment. These touches are not only in line with apartment-friendly decorating but also help create a cohesive and inviting holiday environment.

Holiday Decorating in Your Portland Apartment

Residents at ORO can easily bring the holiday spirit into their homes. Especially with these apartment-friendly decorating ideas.
