One of the biggest mistakes I see in renter-friend One of the biggest mistakes I see in renter-friendly decorating is thinking your apartment needs more decor.

More often than not, it just needs more cohesion.

When your colors, textures, and style work together, even a simple rental starts to feel intentional, cozy, and like home. 🤍

You don’t need to spend a fortune or completely redecorate. Sometimes it’s just about choosing pieces that complement each other instead of competing for attention. Most of the pieces shown above are from IKEA or Home Goods. 

💬 Comment “DECOR” and I’ll send you my full renter friendly decorating post so you can master cohesion with simple ideas to make your apartment feel more like home along with a roundup of my favorite IKEA fluted pieces so you can elevate your home on a budget.

If you’re ever walking down Thames Street in Newpo If you’re ever walking down Thames Street in Newport, don’t skip @bens_furniture_co . One of my favorite shops in Newport RI 🤍

I almost walked right by it, but inside I found some of the prettiest coastal home decor that actually felt tasteful and affordable. I came home with these oyster placemats and the sweetest little porcelain bird with blue hydrangeas, and they fit my apartment perfectly.

I love finding places that make it easy to bring a little New England charm home, even if you don’t live by the coast.

Save this for your next Newport trip, and follow along if you love cozy apartment living, coastal New England, and discovering places like this.

These hydrangeas made me both smile and stopped me These hydrangeas made me both smile and stopped me in my tracks. They’re too good not to share. 🩵

Walking along Newport Harbor surrounded by endless hydrangeas never gets old. They’re one of my favorite parts of New England this time of year.

If you’re the kind of person who slows down to admire hydrangeas, I have a feeling you’ll feel right at home here.

📍Newport, Rhode Island

I packed this gingham Quince skirt for Nantucket t I packed this gingham Quince skirt for Nantucket thinking it would be cute… I didn’t expect it to be the outfit I got the most compliments on. 🤍 I even had a teenager selling lemonade with her little sister tell me she loved everything about my outfit! Quince for the win on Nantucket💕

This skirt is lightweight and super comfortable. All of the colors are SO GOOD!

Also, I feel like I should get bonus points for wearing Quince on Quince Street. 😄

If you’ve been looking for an easy summer skirt you’ll wear on repeat, comment “skirt” and I’ll send you the link! ☀️🌊

But this place has both! They have so many different frame-able art prints, even canvas pieces. Stay tuned to see what I picked up. 💕 #newportri #newportri #coastaldecor
