Thinking of creative ways to decorate your home?
Start with these top 3 foundations that work in any space — especially an elevated downtown New York apartment.
1. Use the View as Your Anchor
If your home is elevated, the windows are free artwork. Let the skyline, natural light, and outdoor scenery guide your layout. Keep sightlines open and position key pieces to complement the view — not compete with it.
2. Layer Textures, Not Clutter
Modern city apartments can feel too sharp or minimal. Add warmth through contrast: soft throws, ribbed pillows, woven baskets, matte ceramics, or black accents. Texture creates personality without overwhelming the room.
3. Bring Nature into the Space
One well-placed plant can transform an urban apartment. Greenery softens architectural lines, adds movement, and balances the concrete environment. Choose pieces with shape — tall, leafy, or sculptural.
Creativity is simply your expression made visible. Choose elements that make your home feel intentional, balanced, and alive.
