RentHop’s Apartment Wishlist: Seven Gray Upgrades

sevengrayupgrades

Every week there are certain things we would love to have in our apartments. Something might be way out of our price range, but one can dream, right? If we canโ€™t purchase it, we can still get inspired by it. And then there are things we totally can afford, and we love it.

Welcome, October! Weโ€™re always sad to see Summer go, but we love welcoming Fall! As Fall is just around the corner (technically the first day of Fall was September 22), we want to celebrate the new season with a new color. This time gray! Yes, technically gray isnโ€™t considered one of the Fall colors, but gray goes well with any season. Here are a couple of favorites, that are sure to go with pretty much anything you already have in your apartment.

1. Joybird Briar Mid Century Modern Gray Sofa – Joybird.com

An important investment when it comes to the apartment, except for the bed, is the couch. When it comes to the couch, you shouldnโ€™t be looking to save money. Instead, if youโ€™re looking to invest in a couch, make sure you purchase a comfortable yet sturdy one that will last you awhile. Like this one. Price tag: $1,279

2. The Smiths Queen Is Dead Morrissey Poster 24×34 – Bananaroad.com

For those who have not heard of The Smiths, this group was, and still, is legendary. Weโ€™re big into music and therefore why not celebrate some of the big music icons by making them a part of the apartment? Price tag: $8.99

3. NIRVANA Group Music Photo Print Poster Size 24″x35″ – Amazon.com

Another classic. If The Smiths is not your thing, maybe Nirvana was (and still is)? Nevertheless, this poster would look good on any wall. We love posters. Why? Because they are cheap and you get pretty much anything you want on your walls. Price tag: $16

4. If You Really Love Me Youโ€™ll Let Me Sleep Quote Pillow Case 18″ x 18″ – Amazon.com

Pillows with quotes are what we need right now. Specifically, this one. Price tag: $5

5. Pigeon & Poodle Milan Soap Pump – Laylagrayce.com

If we had the money for it, we would buy this soap dispenser in a heartbeat! Price tag: $145

6. Surya Nova NVA3010 Indoor Area Rug – Area Rugs at Hayneedle – Hayneedle.com

A rug can do a lot to spruce up an apartment. While we know that weโ€™re targeting the color gray this time, and the color gray doesnโ€™t really spruce things up, this rug sure will. With its abstract design and colors, this rug might become your new favorite item in your apartment. And itโ€™s cheap too! Price tag: $37

7. Modloft Adelphi Nesting Coffee Tables, Set Of 2 – Yliving.com

This item might be the craziest item on this list! Just look at that coffee table. We love it! Itโ€™s different and we love the idea of a black coffee table. And with this one, youโ€™ll get two instead of one for the same price! Price tag: $1,399
