You fell in love with your downtown Portland apartment for its style, location, and views. Lately we have all been spending a bit more time in our homes, making this a great time to freshen up its décor. 

Vintage Furniture

One of 2020’s biggest trends is mixing vintage furniture with modern and contemporary pieces. Try adding an antique chair with a glass or Lucite table, or turn a shabby chic chair into a bedside table. The trick is to use only one or two pieces for the biggest impact. With all the great vintage furniture and antique shops in Portland, it might be hard to just choose two, but resist filling your apartment with too many vintage items.

Here are two shops that are open and/or have online ordering

Vintage Pink – 2500 South East Hawthorne Boulevard

Lounge Lizard – multiple locations

2020 Apartment Color Trends

Instantly add style to your Linc 301 apartment in downtown Portland by using one of this year’s home décor color trends. Add pillows or a rug using vibrant yellow and orange hues! One of this year’s color is Chinese Porcelain blue. Another great choice for an elegant pop is Emerald green.  Any of these colors can be used for a statement piece like wall art or furniture.

Add Light

Adding lights to any room in your apartment adds texture and color. 

Add a colored glass table lamp in your bedroom or living room. An architect’s floor lamp adds a playful style and the jointed body makes using adjusting the lamp a breeze.

Another great lighting option making into designer rooms in 2020 is Asian inspired lighting using rice-paper. Whether you choose a floor lamp, a simple table lamp, or just replace a shade, paper-rice lamps add simplicity and sophistication to any room in your apartment.

These trendy apartment decorating tips are sure to refresh your apartment’s décor and are available at local stores or online.
