NEW APARTMENT DESIGN IDEAS

So I'm moving into my first big girl, non-campus located apartment at the end of the month and I have been having so much fun planning how I will decorate! I'm living with my boyfriend, but let's get real, he doesn't exactly have much say in the decor (oops)! Before buying anything, I created an inspiration board to gather my thoughts and ideas. I know if I didn't I would end up buying everything, and to be honest when it comes to design, I become a little bit obsessed!

To sum up what I'm going for, my palette consists of white, gold, and multiples shades of grey. The style is nature infused chic with a hint of traditional. Clearly, I have had a hard time trying to explain it until I stumbled upon the style quiz on Z Gallerie's website and found out my style type is Naturally Luxe. Doesn't that sounds exactly like what I'm going for? By the way, if you don't know what Z Gallerie is, it's a home furniture and decor website with the most AMAZING stuff ever. The only problem is it's way out of my budget (and probably a lot of people's budgets) so I have been finding cheaper versions of their pieces I have been crushing on on more affordable websites. My current favorite stores to find affordable AND amazing furniture and decor are Joss & Main and Wayfair.

Using the measurements from the building's website online, I created a rough 3D model of the apartment in Google SketchUp. Did I mention I go a little crazy when it comes to design? I know how to use SketchUp from work, so I decided to model it with an estimation of furniture layout and size to make sure I knew what kind of space I would be buying for.

Those windows, though! I absolutely cannot wait to move in. Now that I have developed what I know I'm looking for, I'm going to start buying. I'll continue to make updates throughout this apartment design journey!
