Congratulations! Riley is the winner of the Your Space. Your Style. photo contest with the most likes and comments on his well-designed space at Uptown & Main! Through the contest, we got a sneak peek of our residents' uniquely designed spaces, great design tips and spots to check out for decorating your space. We must say, our residents have some great taste! Thanks to everyone who participated. Resident-Inspired Design Tips Need a few tips on design and organization? Take a few queues from our residents: Tip #1: Get inspired! Use Pinterest to browse ideas and determine your style. Tip #2: Keep it clean. Utilize the space on top of shelves, and under beds and couches to store your personal items. We found some great storage solutions for small spaces (including under the bed) from Ikea . The best part? Prices start at just over $12! Tip #3: Keep the style throughout your space consistent. Tip #4: Develop a theme. Mid-century modern, industrial, modern farmhouse, country-chic...Whatever your style, find something that fits you and go with it. Tip #5: Don't break the bank. You can find steals at stores like Target, HomeGoods and thrift shops. Pro-tip: Get inspired by brands you love before you shop and find copy cats at a more affordable price. Tip #6: Don't rush into buying furniture or decorative elements - give yourself some time to identify your style and how you want to use your space to develop a cohesive design. Tip #7: Use greenery! Liven up any space with plants. No green thumb? No problem! There are a variety of artificial plants that can brighten your space. We're loving these indoor pot options from Fargo-based Baker Garden & Gift .
