Apartment Decorating Tips / Moodboards

Question

I am going to be moving into an apartment in September and want to start decorating. What do people look at for inspiration? I like looking at Urban Outfitters' Home instagram account, so I'm looking for styles similar to that! Thank you!

Gonna go a whole other direction here and say museums and libraries! I always feel calm and happy when I'm surrounded by antiquity and knowledge, so whenever I move (and when I first started decorating) I spent a lot of time at local science museums and large libraries, taking note of the things that draw my eye and trying to figure out how to recreate the feeling a particular piece or display gave me. Naturally, I can't get my hands on a full-scale Apatosaurus fossil, and even if I could there's no way I'd fit it in my apartment, but I CAN get my hands on smaller fossils (even dug some up myself) and display them in a way I like!

I realize a lot of people don't want to live in a museum, but it's easy enough to replace that idea with whatever you actually like. Pop into a place that sparks your creativity and brain storm how to make the bits that appeal to you most feel more like yours.

Are you on Pinterest? I used it pretty exclusively for my bathroom reno, it's a great way to keep track of what you like and get ideas!
