FAQ
What is the single most impactful thing I can do to upgrade my space?
Lighting. Swapping harsh overhead bulbs for warm-toned bulbs (2700K), adding a floor lamp, and introducing candles transforms any room instantly. Architectural Digest calls lighting the single fastest way to change a room's mood. After that, good bedding is second. Quality sheets make your bedroom feel like a hotel.
How do I make my apartment smell good?
Three layers: First, keep it clean (take out the trash regularly, do dishes immediately, laundry on schedule). Second, use a signature candle in the living room and bathroom. Third, add a subtle ongoing scent like a reed diffuser. Try our Fragrance Finder to pick a cologne that complements your space's scent.
What should I prioritize if I am on a tight budget?
In order: clean matching bedding (under $50 for a full set), bathroom basics (matching towels, hand soap, trash can with lid), and a single source of warm lighting for the living room. These three essentials, totaling about $100, will make the biggest visual and experiential difference in any bachelor apartment. Everything else can come later.
