How to Create Your Perfect 'That Girl' Apartment

What does it mean to be ‘That Girl’? Let’s take the question further: what does it mean to have a ‘That Girl’ apartment? Honestly, there is no correct answer. Being 'That Girl' is feeling your best and being in an apartment where you feel comfortable and happy. You are motivated, productive in all areas of your life and showing growth, which is what matters. Not what other people think, being that girl is being your most authentic self. Having a ‘That Girl’ apartment reflects you! It is aesthetic, cozy and comfortable. Here’s how you can achieve the perfect ‘That Girl’ apartment aesthetic in just 5 simple steps—neutral edition! You know the girlies never gatekeep, so I’m sharing all the tips to help you create your dream space.

1. Cohesive color Palette

A cohesive color palette is essential for creating a visually appealing and harmonious space. Sticking to a consistent color scheme helps achieve a polished, stylish, and organized look. Whether you prefer neutral tones for a minimalist vibe or earthy hues for warmth, a well-thought-out palette ties everything together. It enhances aesthetic appeal, makes decor choices easier, and creates a space that feels both functional and inviting.

2. A Glamorous Vanity

Do I need to say more?
Girl, you need a vanity. It’s a stylish and functional must-have for any aesthetic space. It keeps your makeup, skincare, and accessories neatly organized, reducing clutter and creating a calm, luxurious space. This is where the ‘That Girl’ magic happens. When you are getting ready, it helps you feel like that you are That Girl, because you are, let’s be real! It has good lighting, so your make-up will always be good, and it has that Hollywood getting-ready feel! A vanity transforms your daily routine into a self-care routine, making your space feel more elegant. If you don't have space for a vanity, you can always get an LED Mirror as an option, it has a similar effect. Don’t forget to bring your speaker and play some music that sets the mood for the day! I use a Bose speaker to turn up the volume, get ready, and step out feeling confident.

3. A Touch of Pink

Adding a pop of pink to a neutral apartment enhances personality, creates visual interest, and keeps the space from feeling flat. Whether it’s through vibrant throw pillows, statement artwork, or chic decor accents, a touch of color balances the calmness of neutrals while making your home feel stylish, inviting, and uniquely yours. Of course, it doesn’t have to be pink—any color you love will do!

I’m not great at taking care of plants, so I keep just one real plant in my apartment. To bring in some pink, I use faux pink tulips in a vase—they’re a perfect low-maintenance option if you’re like me and prefer something effortless. When decorating, choose your favorite flower to add a personal touch.

In my living room, I added a pink throw, but you could also go for scatter cushions—whatever works best for your style. For the kitchen, I love the pink Smeg toaster and Smeg kettle, which add a chic, girly touch. Their shade of pink is so elegant! Adding pink—or any color you love—definitely gives off That Girl energy and makes your space feel more curated and personal.

4. An Aesthetic Desk

I know ‘That Girls’ are hard at work at least having an aesthetic desk can help make the work easier. Whether you are working from home or are a college student, a cute desk is a must! To complement your pink accessories, a pink iMac or pink mouse would be the perfect addition to elevate your workspace. While a plain laptop works just fine, these sleek pink items will add a stylish pop to your desk. Why not treat yourself? A neutral color iMac is also a good touch in case you don’t want too much pink. You can add a vase with your favorite flowers to brighten up the space. To make your desk even more aesthetic, consider adding a decorative lamp, a cute tray to organize stationery, or a stylish notebook for jotting down ideas. While you’re hard at work, making your desk aesthetic can at least boost your mood and make the space more enjoyable to be in, even though the work itself might not get any easier.

5. Bedroom

After a long day of being that girl, you need your beauty sleep. Your bedroom is your sanctuary — your haven. Soft sheets are a must, and a warm, cozy bed is essential for unwinding. Surround yourself with calming decor like soft lighting, plush pillows, and a soothing color palette to create a peaceful retreat. Rest up, because tomorrow, you’ll be ready to slay again.

Final Thoughts

Creating your own ‘That Girl’ apartment is all about building a space that reflects your unique style, energy, and personality. With a cohesive color palette, a vanity to elevate your self-care routine, pops of pink for that feminine touch, and an organized kitchen and desk, you can design a home that not only looks amazing but feels like a true sanctuary. It’s about embracing your authentic self and creating a space where you can feel motivated, inspired, and comfortable. Now, it's time to channel that 'That Girl' energy and make your home the ultimate reflection of you.
