Moving to New York was one of the most exciting and scary things I have ever done! The city is such a crazy place that can really tire you out, so I knew I wanted to invest time and effort into my new apartment to make it super cosy so I would have my own little oasis to come back to everyday.
Decorating a new place from scratch can be daunting. And expensive. I would love to have the budget to hire a professional interior decor, but that aint in the cards for me just yet! Thats why I was so interested when online decorating service, Havenly contacted me to do a room makeover.
The process costs just $199 per room and is all done online, perfect for people who are always busy (and constantly on their computers). Havenly sets you up with a designer, who asks you all the important questions about what you need for your room and then you receive two concepts that are fully shoppable.
For my living room, I mostly worked with my own items and the new leather couch we bought when we moved in. I got these cute pillows from the Havenly shop that added some much needed tone and texture to the room. Before and after photos bellow, plus decorating tips from Havenly!

5 Ways to Update Your Space from Havenly
-
Refresh your bedding. Swap out your old duvet cover and shams for a fresh look! Choose a fun color or pattern that will compliment your space.
-
Incorporate beautiful floral prints into your home. Choose a bold pattern to promote a contemporary feel, or subtle for a more calming ambiance.
-
Paint the walls a bright and vivid color. Not only does painting give you more flexibility when decorating with bold colors, but it also creates a more open and relaxed space for you and your guests to enjoy.
-
Liven up your space with new scents. Choose candles or diffusers with bold and woodsy tones to set the mood for fall.
-
Bring in the professionals. Hire a Havenly designer to help! We’ll work with your budget and existing furniture to bring you a fresh perspective for the colder seasons ahead.
Happy Decorating 🙂
