"Keeping the decor minimalist helped the room feel brighter, airier, and more modern."
"As for the rest of the furniture in the room, Khadija and her husband mostly turned to Facebook Marketplace. Their decorative baskets and a couple of kitchen finds are from IKEA, but the credenza, Room and Board sofa, Cesca dining chairs, vintage coffee cabinet, and coffee table were all secondhand finds on the social media site."
"If you're dealing with an awkwardly narrow open space and feel like everything's just jumbled together, I highly recommend going with a vertical storage system. It's a game-changer for smaller apartments! My biggest piece of advice is not to be intimidated by ideas that seem too high-end or custom because there are always renter-friendly solutions out there."
Khadija prioritized minimalist decor to make the room feel brighter, airier, and more modern. She and her husband sourced most furniture on Facebook Marketplace, finding a credenza, Room and Board sofa, Cesca dining chairs, a vintage coffee cabinet, and a coffee table, while decorative baskets and some kitchen items came from IKEA. Saving on secondhand pieces allowed investment in practical storage solutions such as an IKEA ELVARLI system costing about $540. She recommends vertical storage systems for awkward narrow open spaces to prevent clutter and encourages seeking renter-friendly alternatives instead of being intimidated by high-end or custom ideas.
