My Quote in ApartmentGuide’s Moving In Together Checklist
Moving in together is a big deal—and if you’re looking for moving in together tips that go beyond who gets which drawer, keep reading.
Sure, you’re combining furniture—but you’re also combining habits, boundaries, and “who left these dishes here” energy.
When ApartmentGuide reached out for insights on how to make sharing a space easier (and sexier) for couples or roommates, I said yes—and not just because it’s my jam.

Moving In Together Tips That Actually Work
Here’s what I shared:
“Blending decorating styles in a shared space works best when it’s guided by open communication—just like in relationships.”
“I suggest starting with a conversation about each person’s “must-haves” and “nice-to-haves.”
“Each person’s unique style can shine through in select, individual pieces. This approach allows couples or roommates to create a space that feels both personal and connected,” I told them.
