New Apartment, New Style – Need Your Design Advice!

Hey everyone, I just signed a lease for a new apartment and I’m in the middle of a big refresh. I’m selling most of my old stuff because at 35, it’s time to let go of those worn-out college pieces. Although I usually stick to a grey/black palette, I fell in love with these blue cabinets and want to mix things up.

I have two pups (one of them sheds like crazy!), so I’m on the hunt for pet-friendly furniture. I’m leaning toward tan or fawn-colored textiles and pieces to help hide any fur, even though I clean regularly!

The one piece I’m keeping is my California King Thuma bed. I think it might clash with the floor a bit so definitely getting a rug.

Now, where would y’all start? Should I prioritize finding a new couch, picking out rugs, or choosing curtains? I’d love to hear your tips, recommendations, and any creative ideas.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Here’s the floor plans/dimensions.
