Since I just moved into my first apartment, I have been scouring Pinterest to get some decor inspo. I have a bunch of ideas but have been struggling to pinpoint exactly what I need to buy. I’m hoping to thrift a bunch of items and pick up some things from an antique shop. I’ve also been trying to purchase from small businesses on Etsy. Here are a few items that I have my eye on and some basic interior design ideas I’m thinking about.
Vintage Magazine Covers: I’ve always wanted to use vintage magazine covers as wall art in my first apartment. I have even considered having a friend do a watercolor version of certain covers. I’d love to hang them in gold frames on a gallery wall.
Seashell Pillows: I’ve already bought couch covers in green and pink for the sofa and love seat my landlord left behind, and now all I need are some funky and bright pillows to go with them. These seashell pillows are so cute.
Statue Candles: I’ve a lot of the Venus and statue candles on Pinterest and I am obsessed! Very minimalist but also kinda funky. I’m a big candle guy and I would love to have a few of these scattered around my apartment.
Touches of Gold: Fun fact: I have a lot of gold decorations already in my place, and am hoping to get more. I have this gorgeous gold mirror that I am obsessed with and am using as the main focus in my living room. I’d love to get more gold candle holders, frames, pillows, books, etc.
Vintage Features: I would love to find a vintage lampshade with fringe and an old-timey clock while antiquing. Etsy has some select items that give off that Hollywood/ tropical summer vibe but they are limited. But I’m glad I found these few items available!
