\u201cI\u2019ve made this rental my own by treating it like a forever home instead of a temporary space,\u201d begins Alex Greene<\/a>, who shares this 600-square-foot NYC rental loft studio with her boyfriend, Nick, and their dog, Olive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI filled it with vintage finds, colorful art, and meaningful pieces I\u2019ve collected over the years. The result is a home that\u2019s full of personality and proves you don\u2019t need to own a place or renovate it to make it feel like your own,\u201d continues Alex, who runs the popular Instagram account, @styleblenderrr<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Alex says that she\u2019s always wanted to live in an industrial loft. \u201cThere\u2019s just something about the exposed ductwork and concrete ceilings. I knew I could build something really cool around them,\u201d she writes. \u201cBut these apartments, especially in New York, can be expensive. We weren\u2019t originally sure about living in a studio, but it was much more within our budget, so we decided to go for it,\u201d she explains of this apartment, which is from around 1929, and that she\u2019s been renting for nine months.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also thought it would be a fun challenge to style, and I loved the idea of all my colorful, eclectic pieces living together in one open space. It\u2019s basically one giant room that just smacks you in the face with personality,\u201d she describes. <\/p>\n

Alex says her style is \u201cbold, colorful, and personality-driven. I gravitate toward unexpected pairings, graphic shapes, playful objects, and strong contrasts that keep a space feeling visually exciting,\u201d Alex continues. \u201cRather than following one design style, I mix vintage finds, modern pieces, art, and collectibles to create rooms that feel curated instead of decorated. I want my home to feel inspiring, energetic, and impossible to mistake for anyone else\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

Something she loves about this home is that every single item has a \u201creason for being there. Nothing was chosen purely for its function \u2014 if something comes into our home, it has to make me happy every time I look at it. It\u2019s a space that constantly inspires me, makes me excited to come home, and never want to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
