Apartment Glow-Up with EJ — Design Tips, Cozy Vibes & Major Aesthetic Goals
Hey Roomies!
Today’s episode is a little different — and a lot of fun. We’re getting out of my usual space and into the home of someone new (and fab): EJ, who let me come over, sip something sparkly, and give his apartment a design once-over. Yes, we’re talking live and in action design consulting — with plenty of sass and sweet moments along the way.
Watch the full apartment walkthrough here:
Real-Time Apartment Glow-Up with EJ
A Soulful Space After Just 3 Weeks? Say Less.
EJ’s only been in his apartment for three weeks, but the man’s already created a vibe that’s soulful, intentional, and just waiting for a designer’s sprinkle of magic. I loved walking through his space, chatting about his design dilemmas in real time, and giving super doable tips to help him elevate it without losing that cozy personality he’s already built in.
Whether you're moving into a new spot or revamping your current one, this video is full of ideas that are:
Practical
Beautiful
And oh-so fun to implement.
What We Dive Into (And You’ll Love Learning About)
Open Plan Living Layouts:
We talk zones, flow, and making a room do the most without doing the absolute most.
Texture, Light, and Plant Styling:
I show how layering soft textures, working with natural light, and bringing in greenery makes any space feel grounded and fresh.
Scent + Sunlight = Underrated Design Heroes:
Yup, we’re talking about how your home feels, not just how it looks. Cozy lighting, candles, and open windows? Chef’s kiss.
Minimalism with Personality:
This isn’t cold and sterile minimalism — it’s minimalism that still shows who you are. Think clean lines with meaningful objects that tell a story.
Small Space, Big Style:
I share tips on creating visual flow and clarity in tighter layouts, without making it feel cramped or crowded.
Shopping With Intention = Your New Design Love Language
One of my favorite takeaways from this video is the conversation around slowing down the decorating process. You don’t need to buy everything now. Instead, shop slowly. Curate. Collect. Build a space that’s yours — not just a Pinterest board copy-paste moment.
Closed storage, layered rugs, and styling everyday objects like they’re art? Yup. We talk about all of it.
Design That Feels Like You
This video isn’t just about what looks good. It’s about creating a home that feels like you. That smells like your favorite candle. That glows with the right lighting. That reflects your memories, your stories, and your future plans.
So, if you're feeling stuck with your own space, or just want some cozy, stylish design inspo from a real apartment walkthrough — this one’s for you.

Final Sass & Style Thoughts
Design doesn’t have to be intimidating or expensive. It can be fun, playful, experimental, and deeply personal. Whether you’re just moving in or giving your home a seasonal refresh, remember:
Don’t rush the process
Let scent and mood matter
Plants are always the answer
Texture > Trends
And most of all — design for you
So grab your beverage of choice, hit play on the video, and get ready to fall back in love with your own space.
