Whether you're decorating a New York City loft apartment on an apartment in the middle of nowhere, your apartment building may have natural charm built into it. Consider the unique features of your apartment, such as the finish of the walls, the ceiling, and any architectural beams. Draw these elements into your room's grand design to create a one of a kind apartment.
There's a lot of discussion in the interior design world on if grey is in or out of style. While completely grey spaces may be on the way out, the color itself is still full of potential and fits right into modern apartments. Be sure to use the color intentionally and balance it with different shades of grey, different materials, ant finishes/textures to create a diverse apartment. Your apartment rug can help strike the proper balance of grey in your space.

If you're lucky, your apartment may feature a wide open space designated for your living room, dining room, and any other spaces you want to establish. Within that though, it's important that each space is tied together stylistically and yet distinct from other areas. A rug is a great way to establish your living space as separate from other areas, and since rugs come in so many different shapes, sizes, and styles, you can easily find an apartment rug that suits your space.
One downside of modern interior design is that it has strayed away from using bold, fun colors. Fortunately, it is becoming popular once again to incorporate color into your living room! You can decide how you want to do this, and if you want the color shown off through furniture, rugs, decorative accents, or all of the above.
Although this isn't the photo of a living room, it is important to consider every aspect of the apartment when you design the apartment living room. Even if the spaces don't overlap with one another, you want similar design elements to create a cohesive apartment. In this case, you may use similar materials or colors in both the kitchen and apartment living room. Plus, your apartment decorating can tie the two spaces together; this kitchen uses blue as an accent color, and you can similarly highlight blue in the living room as a main or secondary color. It's often the little details that make the biggest impact!
No matter what size your apartment's living room is, it is absolutely essential to consider the room's lighting. Like this room, you may feature general lighting in a sprawling ceiling chandelier and have a gallery light to accent your favorite artwork. In any case, the placement and number of lights heavily impacts the room's usefulness and tone. Plus, the brighter the space, the bigger it tends to feel! This is especially true in small apartments or closed off living rooms.

If you are looking for inspiration on how to decorate your apartment, choose one piece of art or furniture that can inspire the entire room's design. In this space, the wall art features the room's entire color palette and inspires other accents like plants, seat cushions, and the style of the furniture.
Another aspect of modern interior design that's frequently debated is minimalism. While the style can feel cold, being intentional with your accents and limiting yourself can produce stunning results. In this apartment, there are very few accents or busy details to take away from the view outside the windows. While your apartment may not have this exact setup or view, you can take inspiration from it in determining how many accents you want to use and where.
