Apartment Personality Test: What Your Décor Style Says About You
Your apartment isn’t just where you sleep—it’s a reflection of who you are.
Whether you lean into clean lines and calming neutrals or surround yourself with bold colors and leafy green friends, your décor style says something about your personality, your priorities, and how you feel most at home.
At RPM Living, we celebrate all kinds of renter aesthetics—from the curated to the cozy—and offer spaces that allow your style to shine. So, what’s your apartment alter ego? Take a peek below to find out, plus get renter-friendly tips to express your vibe in your RPM apartment.
The Minimalist Muse
You are: Grounded, intentional, and effortlessly chic. You find peace in clear surfaces, quality over quantity, and neutral tones that never go out of style.
Your apartment aesthetic: Clean lines, uncluttered layouts, warm woods, creamy whites, and functional beauty.
Must-haves:
- Streamlined furniture with hidden storage
- Neutral-toned textiles (think beige, ivory, greige)
- A curated capsule of décor—think: one perfect ceramic vase, not five
- Statement lighting that’s as functional as it is beautiful
Pro tip: Use the clean backdrop of RPM luxury apartments to highlight your aesthetic. The modern finishes and open layouts help your calm, curated look feel right at home.
The Cozy Maximalist
You are: Expressive, playful, and totally unapologetic about loving color, texture, and a lot of pillows.
Your apartment aesthetic: Pattern mixing, gallery walls, thrifted treasures, bold rugs, and layered lighting.
Must-haves:
- Peel-and-stick wallpaper or decals
- Funky throw pillows and blankets in a rainbow of textures
- Open shelving to display collectibles
- Framed art in mismatched styles
Pro tip: With flexible layouts in RPM apartments for rent, you can layer in color and character without losing flow. Keep one “neutral zone” for visual balance (a solid couch or rug) to ground the fun.
The Plant Parent
You are: Nurturing, grounded, and maybe a little obsessed with pothos. Your home is your jungle, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Your apartment aesthetic: Natural light, earthy tones, terra cotta pots, and lots (lots) of greenery.
Must-haves:
- Self-watering planters
- Aesthetic watering cans
- Macrame plant hangers
- Open shelving for trailing vines
Pro tip: Choose RPM Living communities with great natural light and balconies—perfect for thriving plant babies and a chill morning routine.
The Industrial-Chic Strategist
You are: Strategic, stylish, and a fan of form meeting functions. You love a loft look, clean metals, and an urban vibe—even if you’re not in a warehouse.
Your apartment aesthetic: Black accents, leather touches, matte finishes, and furniture with clean architectural lines.
Must-haves:
- Black metal or iron-frame furniture
- Open bookshelves (styled with intention, of course)
- Edison bulb lighting or plug-in sconces
- Concrete-style planters or minimalist sculptures
Pro tip: Many RPM apartments feature stainless steel appliances and modern finishes that complement your structured aesthetic. Add plug-in pendant lights or metal bar stools to elevate your space further.
The Artsy Boho Dreamer
You are: Free-spirited, creative, and a collector of beautiful things that “just feel right.” You love a good mood board and believe your apartment should inspire you.
Your apartment aesthetic: Global textures, handmade ceramics, vintage finds, layered rugs, and lots of visual warmth.
Must-haves:
- Tapestries or fabric wall hangings
- Rattan accents and natural fibers
- Framed prints from independent artists
- String lights and incense holders
Pro tip: RPM apartments have spacious layouts and photo-worthy nooks to let your artistic side shine. Use multi-functional furniture (like a storage ottoman or bar cart-as-vanity) to keep your space flexible and expressive.
