Creating a Home Away from Home: Personalizing Your Coliving Space

Living in a coliving space has many perks - flexibility, affordability, and a built-in community, but it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice that cozy, personal touch. Making your coliving apartment feel like home is easier than you think, and with a little effort, you can create a space that reflects your personality while blending with your roommates' styles.

Add Personal Touches

Start by incorporating small, meaningful items into your room. Bring framed photos of family and friends, a favorite throw blanket, or even a piece of art that inspires you. These little details instantly bring warmth and familiarity to your space, making it feel more like you.

Bring Nature Indoors

Plants can work wonders in making a space feel inviting and alive. Greenery adds a sense of calm and freshness to any room. Plus, taking care of plants can be a rewarding routine that helps you feel grounded in your new home. Not great with plants? No worries, grab a few plastic ones (these won’t die).

Create Your Relaxation Corner

Having a designated corner where you can unwind is a game-changer. Whether it’s a cozy chair with a small side table or a set of floor cushions with soft lighting, this spot will be your go-to for reading, journaling, or scrolling down on TikTok after a long day.

Collaborate with Your Roommates

One of the best parts of coliving is the sense of community. Share ideas with your roommates to personalize the shared spaces together. Maybe it’s a gallery wall in the living room, a cozy reading nook, or a fun message board to leave notes for each other. Building a shared home together strengthens bonds and makes everyone feel welcome.
