For the longest time, my apartment was basic—white walls, plain furniture, and zero personality.
It wasn’t that I didn’t want it to look good; I just didn’t know where to start.
Then one day, I scrolled through Instagram, and BAM—I stumbled on a post of this girl’s apartment that looked like a scene straight out of a music video.
Neon lights, plush furniture, bold artwork—it screamed confidence and sass.
That was the moment I decided my place needed a glow-up.
Let me show you a few of my favorite ideas:

Neon Lights for That Glow-Up
If there’s one thing that screams “baddie,” it’s neon lights.
Throwing in a neon sign instantly elevates your space and gives it a sultry, Instagram-worthy vibe.
You can go for something classic like a “good vibes only” sign, or get creative with custom text that matches your personality.
The best part?
You can pick colors that reflect your mood—soft pink for chill vibes, electric blue for a futuristic edge, or red for bold energy.
Don’t just stop at signs, though.
LED strip lights are another way to level up your lighting game.
Place them behind your TV, under your bed frame, or even along your ceiling to create an ambient glow that changes the whole vibe of your room.
With most LED lights being app-controlled these days, you can switch up the colors at the tap of a button.
Luxe Throw Pillows for That Comfy Chic
Nothing says “I’m living my best life” like a couch piled high with plush throw pillows.
But don’t just grab any old pillows—this is your chance to go full glam.
Look for ones with velvet textures, metallic accents, or even faux fur.
Mix and match different shapes and sizes, like square, round, or oblong, to create dimension.
Colors are key here.
Stick with bold tones like emerald green, deep purple, or jet black for that rich, luxe vibe.
Or, if you’re feeling daring, go for animal prints like leopard or zebra to add a touch of wild energy.
If you’ve got a neutral couch, this is your chance to make it pop.
Layer in a few gold or silver metallic pillows for that extra sparkle.
Throw pillows aren’t just for the couch, either.
Toss a few on your bed or even a cozy armchair in the corner.
They instantly make any space feel more put-together without trying too hard.
And let’s be real—nothing beats sinking into a pile of soft pillows after a long day.
Statement Wall Art
Every baddie apartment needs a focal point, and there’s no better way to achieve that than with statement wall art.
Think oversized canvases, bold prints, or even a gallery wall that shows off your personality.
Choose pieces that make you feel something—whether it’s a vibrant abstract painting, a sassy typography print, or a moody black-and-white photo.
If you’re into DIY, you could even create your own art.
Pour some acrylic paint on a canvas, swirl it around, and bam—you’ve got a custom piece that’s totally unique.
Hanging your art is just as important as choosing it.
Center it above your couch, bed, or dining table to draw the eye.
For a gallery wall, play around with different frame sizes and orientations.
Gold or black frames are super chic and tie everything together.
And don’t forget about wall decals or peel-and-stick wallpaper if you’re renting.
A Vanity Setup That Screams Glam
Every baddie needs a vanity where they can get ready and feel like a queen.
Start with a sleek desk or table—something with clean lines and a modern vibe.
Add a lighted mirror, preferably one with Hollywood-style bulbs for that ultimate glow.
This is your space to be extra, so don’t hold back.
Organize your makeup and skincare in clear acrylic drawers or chic trays.
You can even add a mini shelf for your favorite perfumes.
For seating, go for a plush velvet stool or a faux fur chair.
And don’t forget to decorate around your vanity.
Hang a small piece of art, add a vase of fresh flowers, or place a few candles to set the mood.

The crimson velvet bedroom has been one of my favorite elements to envision.
Walking into this intimate boudoir, I wanted guests to feel wrapped in ultimate luxury and sensuality.
The walls and headboard are draped in lush crimson velvet, providing a sumptuous backdrop that feels both decadent and enveloping.
I selected a deep crimson shade to tap into feelings of passion, femininity and drama.
The plush velvet fabric adds indulgent texture that serves as a tactile delight.
At the center of the room hangs a captivating chandelier, its dangling crystals ready to sparkle in the low golden light.
I chose a fluid, almost feather-like design inspired by movement, dance and fluidity of form.
The furnishings are all crafted from dark wood for a foundation of elegance and vintage glamour.
Each curved piece has delicate carvings subtly hinting at motifs like hearts, vines and feathers.
Rolled arm chairs swathed in more crimson velvet invite lounging with a book or late night confessions.
Mirrored coffee table surrounded by plush boho pillows and poufs for lounging
For the central lounging area of the apartment, I knew a striking mirrored coffee table would be the showstopping focal piece.
The geometric coffee table is crafted from a single slab of silver-toned mirrored glass, creating an illusory sense of space.
Its reflective gleam adds ethereal light dancing on the surrounding décor.
Scattered beneath are lush teal, blush and bronze patterned pillows and poufs, inviting guests to sink into their plush depths.

Guests can fully immerse themselves while sprawled on the pillow display, gazing up at the mirrored table reflecting its surroundings endlessly.
The calming energy invites lingering with a good book, afternoon siestas or late night mingles with close friends.
Soft textures and patterns transport the scene while reflective surfaces maintain an element of surprise.
Black patent leather couch and accent chairs for a sleek yet seductive vibe
The living area is anchored by the showstopper piece – a large L-shaped couch crafted from buttery-soft black patent leather.
Its high-gloss finish gleams under the tracks of mood lighting above, adding intrigue and drama.
Sleek curved arms and tapering legs give the piece a lounge-worthy silhouettes that beg to be touched.
Adjacent are a pair of patent leather accent chairs with delicate X-back designs, offering an alluring place to perch.
Their hightide surfaces create reflections like polished obsidian, lending an otherworldly allure.
To maintain the high-gloss finishes, the leather undergoes a specialized treatment to achieve a fine crackle texture.
It subtly evokes luxurious well-worn Italian motoring gloves or vintage vinyl records.
Under fingertips, the material delivers tactile sensations that are crisp yet pliant.
Flaxen lambs wool throws drape invitingly along the furniture, a tactile contrast between lush and sleek.
Scatter pillows lined in shimmering charmeuse introduce flickers of liquid crystal or jewel-toned ribbing.
Low coffee tables can be dressed with books of inspiration, potted ferns or libations to enhance the lounge.
This moody living oasis caters to one’s hedonistic side, where dark patent leather inspires naughty intimacy and seduction under frames of streaming city lights beyond tall windows.
A scenic backdrop for unwinding in sensual sophistication.
Dramatic floor-to-ceiling curtains in deep jewel tones
One of the first things guests will notice are the showstopping floor-to-ceiling curtains that dress the entire wall of windows.
They are crafted from the richest crushed velvet in deep emerald, sapphire and ruby hues that evoke the glisten of precious gemstones.
The luxurious fabric falls in heavy cascades from thick gold cord hung on a robust track, creating dramatic swathes of color.
Their heavy weight allows for complete blackout so one can sleep in utmost indulgence.
During the day, parting the curves reveals glimpses of the skyline beyond in stark juxtaposition.
Subtle hints of metallic thread are woven throughout the velvet, catching daylight to shine iridescent sparkles that continuously catch the eye.
The fabulous drapes demand attention as a true statement piece despite their stationary nature.
Small decorative hooks hang temptingly along the cord, perfect for draping feathered boas, masquerade masks or delicate scarves as accents.
Their jewel tones play amidst the interior’s refined modern glamour.
Drawing the curtains transports the space into a sumptuous after-hours boudoir blocking out the outside world.

Striped velvet ottoman for extra seating and pops of pattern
A key element adding whimsical charm is the striped velvet ottoman plopped in the living area.

Their vivid tones stand out against darker elements for energizing flashes.
Tactile delights also derive from the subtly textured velvet holding distinctive brushstrokes.
Fingers trace each color seam, finding sensory pleasure in small discoveries.
