I’d like to issue a fair warning, that all of the items you’re about to see are from WestElm, Pottery Barn or CB2. Despite doing a lot of research to find home decor, I somehow always manage to come back to these three stores for interior design ideas. I’m obsessed and have no shame! There are rare occasions when I’m on the hunt for very specific apartment decorations, and end up purchasing from a site that’s off the beaten path (at least for me). If you’re interested in seeing those, check out my other blog post, Most Loved Websites (for Interiors). Otherwise, buckle up and dive into my favorite apartment decorations!
Pierced Constellation Tealights
These celestial tealight candles light up my room like magic, especially when I light them after the sun goes down. They wash the walls with dancing orbs of warm yellows and amber hues, which simply put, brings something special to my space.
I move the tealight candles around depending on what’s going on that week. They compliment flowers nicely on the dinner table, but personally I prefer to line them up on my shelves or on the media console. The ambiance they give off feels more relaxed when these cheerful vessels are balanced out against a heavier material like wood or metal.
I also have the large and small Pierced Constellation Hurricanes from WestElm. If you like these, they come in blush as well!
Pleated Grey Ottoman
I had my eye on this piece for over a year before I finally decided to pull trig and get it. Needless to say, I absolutely adore this pleated grey ottoman from CB2. It’s my foot rest, seat to put my shoes on and stool to reach high shelves (I probably shouldn’t, but I do anyway 😬).
Sadly, this version is no longer available, but CB2 does offer a similar Pleated Boucle Ottoman in a cozy textured cream color.
Metal Frame Round Mirror
There she is! What is it about antique brass against mirror that makes me feel so regal ?!
I’m HERE for it… like, this isn’t the only antique brass framed mirror that I own. Yes, it’s from WestElm, and if you like it then you’re in luck. This Metal Frame Round Mirror comes in three other colors: antique bronze, rose gold and brushed nickel. You can choose between two sizes: 30″ round or 48″ round. If you want a rustic, mid century modern touch, WestElm also sells this with a faux leather strap to hang the mirror from.
Faux Fiddle Leaf Tree
In another life, I’m sure I had a green thumb. Fresh flowers are my thing, but plants, sadly, are not. I bounce around too much and wouldn’t be able to properly care for a living plant. Which is why this Faux Potted Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree from Pottery Barn is the perfect companion. It brings a pop of realistic greenery to my space, without requiring routine watering or repotting.
If you don’t have a green thumb, or simply don’t have the time for a real plant, give these faux fiddles a try. You can choose from two heights; 5.4′ or 6.9′ depending on what size best suits your space.
There are only two caveats. These do require a pot, unless you like the burlap look. You will also need to fluff out the leaves when your fiddle first arrives, but that’s the only care this plant will need.
Marble Shelves
These Marble Wall Mounted Shelves from CB2 bring me so much joy. I have three that are grouped together vertically. Since each slab of Carrara-style marble is unique, they all look subtly distinct from one another. I love these shelves for displaying coffee cups and cascading greenery, which is a striking contrast against these grey/white beauties.
I can’t recommend these shelves enough for an aesthetically pleasing storage solution. But beware, they’re kind of a pain to mount. The marble and brass combination is very heavy. Installation definitely requires two people to safely secure these shelves to the wall.
