At Dakota at Druid Hills in Decatur, GA, you’ll find more than just a thoughtfully designed apartment—you’ll discover a space that invites creativity, comfort, and personal expression. Whether you’re living in a one-bedroom retreat or a two-bedroom setup with room to grow, your decor choices can completely transform the energy of your home. Finding an aesthetic that matches your lifestyle is the first step. Strong feng shui—and a few carefully selected staple pieces from local makers—can bring everything together in a way that feels grounded and true to you.

Refined Comfort

If you’re someone who values calm, cozy spaces that still feel elevated, this aesthetic could be your match. Think soft textures, warm neutrals, and timeless pieces. Good feng shui in this design centers on balance and ease of movement. Avoid crowding your rooms—leave space between furnishings to allow energy to circulate. Look for staple items like a linen throw or hand-poured candles from a local Decatur artisan to make your space feel more inviting.

Urban Natural

Love the vibrance of city life but still crave earthy calm? Urban natural style brings in leafy plants, wood tones, and organic textiles. It’s all about merging structure with softness. For strong feng shui, place natural materials near windows or entryways to invite grounding energy into your home. A solid wood entry bench or hand-thrown vase from a local market adds that rooted, handmade feel without overwhelming your layout.

Curated Modern

This look blends minimalism with personality—clean lines, bold accents, and meaningful art. With curated modern, everything in your space has a reason for being there. Feng shui comes from thoughtful placement—use symmetry where possible and create visual breathing room between bold elements. Shop local for one or two standout pieces, like a framed print or geometric sculpture, that anchor your space with personality and artistic flair.

Classic Revival

Inspired by traditional Southern interiors but with a fresh spin, classic revival features structured furniture, soft lighting, and curated details. Think light wood finishes, pale blues, and brass accents. To achieve good feng shui, group pieces in pairs or symmetrical arrangements to create a sense of harmony. Explore Decatur’s local shops for heirloom-style finds—a handwoven table runner or antique-look mirror—to bring elegant charm into your everyday life.

Expressive Bohemian

If your style leans free-spirited and colorful, expressive bohemian gives you permission to layer. Mix patterns, colors, and textures while still keeping a sense of order. Feng shui here means keeping energy vibrant but not chaotic—group decor thoughtfully and let each area of the room have a distinct function. Add handcrafted touches like a locally made textile wall hanging or colorful pottery to bring life and story into your space.
