If you’re an apartment dweller, space is often limited. I live in New York City, where the apartments are notoriously small. It can be a challenge to fit everything exactly where you want it to go, and leaves little room for decorating your space with all your favorite items. That’s why it’s important to choose smaller items that make a big impact.
Case in point: actress Iris Apatow, who just moved into her very first Los Angeles apartment. While the space isn’t huge, Apatow has chosen to furnish her home with thoughtfully designed pieces from Urban Outfitters' new Iris Apatow Small Spaces collection (of course).
The collection has been designed with those smaller spaces in mind, whether it’s a college dorm room, your first apartment, or if you’ve simply decided to downsize your space.

Whether it’s for the living room, bathroom, or bedroom, the pieces are functional, stylish, and have the signature Urban Outfitters flare. Think standout patterns, luxe materials, and a retro feel that will take you back.
Living room
Apatow’s living room is a bold and bright oasis filled to the brim with luxe fabrics, eye-catching prints, and a color palette that takes inspiration from the beloved Mid-Century Modern design era.
Available in either white or black, the coffee table is a sleek and sophisticated centerpiece for the living room. It adds both style and definition to the space and brings the room together without taking away too much floor space.
Use it for cozying up under on the couch, drape it over the back over your armchair for a laid back finish, or even take it out and about and use it as a picnic blanket during your summer adventures. It’s reversable, too.
This plush armchair is perfect for sinking into with your favorite book. Upholstered with a luxurious velvet-like material, it's as comfy as it is beautiful. The curved lines are a nod to current and classic design trends, while mustard yellow hue is striking.
Kitchen
The kitchen area features classic colors and furnishings, with everything to whip up a delicious meal or entertain guests. In addition to the newer products seen in Apatow’s kitchen, she has also kept hold of some pre-loved items as a sweet tribute to her family – her mom, Leslie Mann’s, kitchen appliances.
'When I was growing up, my mom had only pink kitchenware, so I stole a lot of that,' the actress said in a video tour with Urban Outfitters.
Connected Goods' charming apple-shaped wall basket brings a rustic touch to Apatow’s space and is ideal for storing everything from letters to trinkets to actual fruit.
Long gone are the days when you’re clanging around in the silverware drawer to find your favorite spatula: store all of your utensils in this chic utensil holder, with a playful check design.
Perfect for the kitchen, dining room, or even the living room, these dining chairs bring a boho vibe to any room of the house. They have a rustic rattan seat and a floating backrest.
Bedroom
Apatow's bedroom continues the theme, somehow managing to squeeze maximalist charm out of a pretty tight space.
Apatow has the mauve-hued ditsy daisy cotton sheet covering her bed, which adds a bright, feminine feel to her sleep space. The set comes with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and pillowcases, and is available in four different sizes.
To help add depth and character to the space, Apatow chose a peachy orange shag rug to cover her bedroom floor. It has been made from 100% New Zealand wool and will keep toes warm while bringing in a pop of color.
This nightstand is the perfect piece for fans of the rustic, lived-in look. There’s enough space on the top to place all of your night-time essentials, while the rattan drawer is a savvy storage solution for keeping all of your odds-and-ends tidy.
Wall décor
'I’ve never been a minimalist,' Apatow told Urban Outfitters during her apartment tour. 'I need to cover every inch of the wall. Lots of things going on, it’s fun.'
True to her word, the 20-year-old has adorned her home with plenty of wall art – including a portrait of her four cats. If the wall doesn’t have any art on it, Apatow opted for a striking peel-and-stick wallpaper that’s worth talking about.
If you’re considering welcoming a retro vibe into your home, consider the Emanuela Carratoni Vintage Floral Geometry wallpaper that Apatow installed in her living room. The best part is, it’s renter-friendly – you can take it down when you're done.
This super sweet daisy art print will instantly brighten up any room. There’s the option to chose between nine frame colors and four print sizes, meaning you can customize the floral art to best suit your space.
Another bright wallpaper, Apatow’s bedroom features this pretty pink vine leaf removeable wallpaper. She has styled it into a headboard shape as a striking feature wall behind her bed, but you can use it as a full sheet on just one wall – or go all out and cover the entire room.
Throw pillows
Apatow has cozied up her living space with a plethora of throw pillows in a range of different shapes and sizes. Adding personality and character to the space, these pillows range from animal shapes to more neutral designs.
This dainty mini throw pillow has a sweet cherry print on a lime green background. Soft and huggable, it’s perfect paired with some larger pillows to finish off the look.
Adding texture and style to the places we love to relax, this corduroy throw pillow comes in three eye-catching colors.
This whimsical mushroom tufted throw pillow looks great among any other kitschy decor, but it can also work or as a statement piece for those who prefer most of their decor on the neutral side.
