Residents at Linc 301 Apartments in Portland experience all four seasons. And once leaves start falling, take some inspiration from trending interior decor designs. Prepping now for the colder, dimmer seasons could make apartment living in fall 2021 more joyful.

Our Favorite Fall ’21 Trends

Rich, earthy color schemes, rustic wooden furniture, textured pillows, and chunky knitted throws are in-trend for fall 2021. Try implementing candles with fall scents like pumpkin spice, apple cider, and vanilla. Grab some of these items to place around your apartment to bring fall into your home. 

How to Adapt These Trends for Your Apartment

In place of open-flame candles and tealights, use vintage-inspired table lamps, flickering LED candles, and USB-powered string lights to add a warm glow to your apartment as daylight hours shorten.

Fill your apartment with the natural scents of fall using essential-oil infused potpourri. In addition, sweet cinnamon and pumpkin foaming hand soap and a spooky Halloween shower curtain can make great novelty fall decor accessories for apartment bathrooms.

Transform the color scheme of bedrooms with new bedding sets. Piles of fluffy pillows paired with knit blankets keep you cozy as the nighttime temperatures drop.

Recently remodeled units at Linc 301 Apartments feature luxury plank flooring. You can add additional underfoot comfort, color, and warmth to your apartment in fall 2021 with textured decorative mats from Unique Loom’s autumn collection of area rugs and runners.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend is not only a time to reflect on the social and economic achievements of the hard working Americans of the past and present, but also to take a break and relax. So use this weekend to get some great quality time in with your family and friends.

Portland, Oregon has plenty of places for holiday weekend activities if you’re wanting to break away from the city life and breathe in some fresh air. Head out to Tryon Creek State Natural Area! There’s hiking trails, bike paths, equestrian paths, and you’ll even get some wildlife sightings if you’re watchful. On Labor Day itself, head out to Skidmore Bluffs, where you can get one of the best seats around to watch the beautiful sunset. It’s also well known for the beautiful views of the river and greenery surrounding it.

From all of us here at Linc 301, have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!

Twine Lanterns

Twine Lanterns

Summer DIY

Materials:

  • Brown Kraft Twine
  • 3-5 balloons (number varies on how many lanterns you would like)
  • Scissors
  • Drop cloth or newspaper
  • 4 ounces of Elmer’s glue
  • 1/2 cup of cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup of warm water
  • Petroleum jelly
  • Clear, fast-drying spray paint
  • String lights

How To: 

Let’s get started! Place your newspaper or drop cloth down below where you plan on working. Blow up your balloons- the bigger your balloon is, the bigger your finished twine lantern will be! Try to stay away from fully inflating your balloon- the less air, the rounder your twine lantern will be.

Blow up your balloons- the bigger your balloon is, the bigger your finished twine lantern will be! If you can try and stay away from fully inflating your balloon. The less air in your balloon the rounder your lantern will be.

Mix your Elmer’s glue, cornstarch and 1/4 cup of warm water in a container until the mixture has a smooth consistency.

Fully coat your balloons in Petroleum jelly. We would recommend doing this with some rubber gloves. Make sure you have a very thick coat of Petroleum jelly on these bad boys. The Petroleum jelly will keep your twine safe from sticking to the balloons when you pop them.

Soak twine in the sticky mixture. Now it’s time to start laying the twine on the balloons! Wrap your twine vertically and horizontally. Leave a gap at the bottom of the balloon so you can pull your lights through. Make sure they are being laid out tight so they don’t come loose when you have them hanging over night.

You’re almost done

Once you let them dry overnight, take a pushpin or anything sharp and pop them! Spray your sculpture with clear-fast drying paint. Now you’re ready to string your lights through your twine lantern.

Hurray! You now have your twine lantern and you didn’t even have to spend $50!
