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.
