Spruce Up Your Apartment: Renter Friendly Edition

luxury rendering of a spacious living room

Although your Onyx Glendale apartment is already stylish and luxurious, the living space should reflect your personality and energy and provide a welcoming respite to your guests. Expressing yourself through decorating can be challenging for renters since most lease agreements prohibit a tenant from making major changes to the unit. No worries! Plenty of renter-friendly hacks are sure to inspire you to meet and conquer that challenge.

New Additions for a Brighter Space

The key to keeping your decor fresh and up to date is to get familiar with some new interior trends and do a little tweaking to make them your own.

Some current decor styles and apartment trends:

  • Velvet texture. Most velvet used in decor is ‘performance velvet’, which is more durable and stain-resistant than traditional velvet. If a new velvet sofa isn’t in the budget, splurge on a few velvet throw pillows.
  • Rich, deep color palettes. Deep reds and burgundy are huge, as well as black. (Bonus points if you find these colors in velvet!)
  • Combining styles. Mixing two styles (or two design eras) is a popular way to decorate. Just be sure to stick to one color scheme, so the pieces will flow together.

Clean, Organized, and Unique

When you rent, sometimes painting walls is not allowed, and wallpapering would be out of the question…unless it is peel-off wallpaper! Peel-off wallpaper is simple to put up and easy to remove; best of all, it does no damage to walls!

While you may not be able to hang traditional storage shelves to the wall, you can certainly use shelf units that require no drilling. Stackable shelves are also an option. This type of shelving can be moved from room to room, wherever you need a little extra storage space. Check out this folding one!

Apartment Trends in Your City

If you need more decor inspiration, take a ride around Glendale and check out some interior design shops. Zaz Design carries some beautiful, unique apartment-appropriate pieces, like this fabulous display rack that puts out trendy art deco vibes. And keep up with the freshest decor trends by stopping in Glendale’s World Market location. You will find an exciting mix of unique pieces inspired by cultures worldwide.

ONYX Glendale is a fantastic place to live. There are many top trending things that you can do in the complex’s areas. Enjoy apartment living at ONYX Glendale explore your neighborhood as there are many things you can do.

How to Declutter and Get Ready For Spring

Clutter creeps up quickly in a home, and it can take hours to sort things you don’t need from something you want to keep. The easiest way to fight clutter is to consistently address the areas of your home where clutter tends to accumulate. Keep a donation basket in a handy locale so that any unwanted or unused item can go directly into the bin instead of being piled up somewhere, where you’ll have to sort it out later.

Staple Pieces You have to Try

Be sure to look for staple pieces you can utilize to decorate your house. Color is a big trend this Spring, but you might struggle to add them to your home. Thankfully, art pieces are a good start. Check out some avant-garde pieces from your nearest Goodwill Center or local art studio, where you can purchase pieces to add to your apartment. Look for bright colors to complement your apartment. Adding artwork is always an excellent way to go as it shows that you are an artistic and creative person, and it reflects your personality.

Second-hand materials are also quite trendy as they show how sustainable and environmentally friendly you are. Upcycled vintage or thrifted furniture is also a modern way to spruce up your home.

Make Organizing Fun

It’s essential to plan any changes to your apartment decor because trends change all the time. After Spring cleaning and decluttering, you can change your home to look refreshed with new home design trends. Make the most of apartment living with fun decor that reflects your personality.
