Spring is here, bringing with it fresh breezes, warm sunlight, and that yearly urge to give your living room a makeover. This year, with many of us sheltering in place, our homes have taken on additional importance, giving new urgency to our decor goals while making us appreciate any time spent outdoors.

Residents of the Midtown West luxury apartments at ARO have ample outdoor access, but filling their homes with the perfect furniture presents additional challenges this spring. Fortunately, the worlds of online retail and design are filling the gap, using cutting-edge digital modeling and customization to reproduce the in-person experience via a tablet screen.

But how can you decide which home office setup or throw pillow is right for you without the knowing eye of a designer to guide you? One option is to bring your apartment into the digital space with a program like Modsy, which creates a detailed 3D model of your space that can then be filled with furniture to give you a sense of what those items would look like in your rooms. Modsy employs designers to work with customers in their digital space and then recreate it in their actual home, all without ever stepping into their building!

Residents who know what they want in a sofa should head to online retailers like AllModern and Restoration Hardware, where customers can choose between a range of timeless collections, each featuring a variety of highly customizable furniture, case goods, furnishings, and more. Whether you’re looking for a rich leather sectional sofa, a stylish reclaimed wood coffee table, or a shearling footstool, these brands have you covered. 

When the time comes to furnish your kitchen, head over to Sur La Table’s online store, and peruse their selection of stylish and useful cookware. Order a new set of colorful Le Creuset stoneware to complement your new dining table or upgrade your coffee grinder to a top-of-the-line De’Longhi to breathe new life into your kitchen.

This year, giving your decor a little freshening up has an extra level of urgency, so make sure to take full advantage of the tools and websites listed above to beautify your ARO residence with items that make it feel even more comfortable and special.
