Sometimes life feels stale, and you need something new to freshen it up. Finding new ways to elevate your lifestyle when you live in an apartment can be hard, but looking at the home decor trends can give you some inspiration.
If you’re looking for ways to amp up your apartment lifestyle, here are some trending home goods that can take you to the next level:
- Contour pillow
- Cordless vacuum
- Fireplace diffuser
- Stick-on wall sconce
- Filtered showerhead
- Fluted cabinet
- Candle warmer lamp
- 6-in-1 charging station
- Portable Pilates reformer
Contour Pillow
A good night’s sleep changes everything, hence why contour pillows are #1 on our list! Contour pillows are shaped to support your head and neck while you sleep, helping you keep your spine aligned and prevent neck pain.
Cordless Vacuum
Cordless vacuums make cleanup much easier. The lack of a cord means you can get into all the nooks and crannies far away from an outlet…and you won’t find yourself tangled up while cleaning your floors.
Not only are cordless vacuums efficient, but they save space as well! Cordless vacuums are typically much thinner than corded vacuums, making them great for renters with minimal storage space.
Fireplace Diffuser
Fireplace diffusers combine aromatherapy with aesthetics. Like a regular essential oil diffuser, a fireplace diffuser fills your home with calming fragrances of your choice. But what makes a fireplace diffuser special is its appearance as a mini tabletop fireplace.
And the best part? There’s no flame! While it looks like a miniature fireplace with flames jumping, the look of the flames comes from the combination of orange lights and the mist from the diffuser.
Stick-On Wall Sconce
If you’re looking for renter-friendly ways to brighten up your apartment, stick-on wall sconces are a great addition! Stick-on wall sconces are wireless and rechargeable, meaning you can install them without the help of an electrician and turn them on and off with a remote. Did one of your lights go out? Just unscrew the bulb and charge it like you would charge your phone.
Filtered Showerhead
If you find that you have irritated skin and dry hair after a shower, consider switching out your showerhead for a filtered showerhead. Filtered showerheads help reduce the amount of chemicals in your water like chlorine, lead, calcium, and magnesium.
Switching out your showerhead is easy to do and renter friendly. Typically, you’ll only need to unscrew the old showerhead and screw on the new one, and you may only need an adjustable wrench to tighten the new showerhead. As long as you replace the old showerhead before you move out, you’re good to go!
Fluted Cabinet
Fluted cabinets add a retro look to your space. Place one under your TV to create a contrasting effect between the past and present and add some stylish storage space.
Some cabinets have fluted glass doors, which make great coffee bars and display cases. Keep your coffee equipment on top of the cabinet and store your colorful mug collection inside so the mugs are displayed through the glass.
Candle Warmer Lamp
If your new apartment doesn’t allow open flames, but you have a giant collection of scented candles, don’t fret! Candle warmer lamps are a flame-free addition that help create ambiance and keep your apartment smelling amazing. Like a typical lamp, candle warmer lamps are a source of mood lighting, but candle warmer lamps heat up the wax of the candle placed under it to fill your space with your favorite scents.
6-in-1 Charging Station
6-in-1 charging stations aren’t any old charging port—they eliminate the tangle of charging cords on your bedside table by charging multiple devices at once. Each 6-in-1 charging station is configured differently, but most support wireless charging for a smartphone, smart watch, and Bluetooth earbuds. If you’re emotionally attached to your tangle of cords, don’t worry! Most charging stations have USB and USB-C ports.
Portable Pilates Reformer
Pilates has skyrocketed in popularity over the past year, with hundreds of social media influencers vlogging their Pilates workouts. If you don’t have the time or money for Pilates classes, grab a portable Pilates reformer for your apartment! Pilates reformers, the equipment used in Pilates studios, are expensive and take up a lot of space, but portable Pilates reformers are much more affordable and can be tucked under your bed or in your closet after your workout.
A few key investment pieces can take your apartment living experience to the next level. Trending items are typically offered at multiple retailers, so shop around to find what’s right for you. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your decor, your sleep, or your workouts, there’s something out there tailor-made for you!
