How to Design and Decorate Your New Home at Parc at Opelika Apartments

Moving into a new apartment is always exciting, but decorating and making it feel like home is where the real fun begins. At Parc at Opelika Apartments (1375 McCoy St., Opelika, AL 36801), you’ll have the perfect canvas to create a stylish and comfortable living space. With modern features like tall ceilings, vinyl wood flooring, 2" faux wood blinds, lighted ceiling fans, and a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances, quartz countertops, and a kitchen island, your apartment already has a polished, upscale foundation. Now it’s time to add your personal touch.

Here are some decorating ideas to make your apartment feel like home—plus a few local spots in Opelika and nearby Auburn to shop for décor.


1. Start with Your Living Room

Your living room is the heart of your apartment. With spacious layouts and tall ceilings, you’ll have room to arrange cozy seating and create the perfect gathering spot. Try layering textures with throw pillows, blankets, and an area rug to soften the look of vinyl wood flooring. If your home has plush carpet in the bedroom, carry those warm tones throughout the apartment for a cohesive style.

Where to Shop: Check out World Market (2546 Enterprise Dr, Opelika, AL 36801) for affordable rugs, accent chairs, and wall art to tie your living space together.


2. Make Your Kitchen Shine

Your gourmet kitchen with stainless appliance package, quartz countertops, pantry, and kitchen island makes cooking and entertaining easy. Decorate with stylish countertop appliances, like a sleek coffee maker or air fryer, and add barstools at the island for a casual dining area. Floating shelves or decorative jars in the pantry can also help you keep everything organized while looking chic.

Where to Shop: Visit Target (2640 Enterprise Dr, Opelika, AL 36801) for modern barstools, storage containers, and fun kitchen gadgets that fit perfectly with your space.


3. Create a Cozy Bedroom Retreat

With features like walk-in closets, linen closets, and plush carpet, your bedroom can be both functional and restful. Start with neutral bedding and add pops of color through throw pillows or an accent wall with removable wallpaper. Use under-the-bed storage bins to maximize space, and don’t forget a stylish lamp for nighttime reading.

Where to Shop: Head to HomeGoods (1550 Opelika Rd, Auburn, AL 36830) for bedding, lamps, and decorative accents that transform your bedroom into a peaceful sanctuary.


4. Use Your Private Patio or Balcony

If your home includes a private patio or balcony with storage, transform it into your own outdoor retreat. Add a small bistro table, string lights, and potted plants for a cozy space to enjoy coffee in the morning or relax in the evening. The extra storage is perfect for seasonal items or gardening supplies.

Where to Shop: Stop by Lowe’s Home Improvement (1701 Frederick Rd, Opelika, AL 36801) for outdoor furniture, planters, and lighting options that can handle the Alabama weather.


5. Stay Organized and Stylish

With amenities like a full-sized washer & dryer, pantry, linen closet, and walk-in closet, staying organized is easy. Use decorative baskets and bins to keep everyday items tidy. Opt for dual-purpose furniture, like ottomans with storage, to maximize your space without sacrificing style.

Where to Shop: Kirkland’s Home (2630 Enterprise Dr, Opelika, AL 36801) has a wide variety of storage solutions, shelving, and stylish furniture at budget-friendly prices.
