12 New York Apartments the Cast of ‘Girls’ Could Move Into
In preparation for the final season of ‘Girls’, get in the mood and be inspired by these eclectic New York homes
The final season of Girls is about to hit our screens and, as well as the clever plots and brilliantly quirky characters, many of us will miss the programme’s cool, eclectic interiors. As a small tribute, here are some inspiring Big Apple apartments that have a similarly effortless, New York style.
Team turquoise with brown leather
Brown leather sofas are a classic, practical addition in a bohemian apartment. Here, the homeowners have brightened up the dark shade with a perfectly placed turquoise trolley. Add some industrial touches with chrome accessories and graphic prints to keep the look contemporary.

Add some rainbow brights
In a small apartment, you’ll probably need to be creative with your space planning. So if you’re going to tuck a desk into a corner alcove, consider making a feature of the area. This yellow desk looks fabulous here, and stands out even more with the addition of contrasting bright colours.

Pop in some midcentury touches
There’s no reason why a bohemian apartment can’t be sophisticated, as this slick space illustrates. The modern wall unit is reminiscent of a midcentury sideboard, but the glossy sliding panels add a contemporary edge. Framed photographs, ornaments and plants ensure the space feels warm and full of character.

Style up a small bathroom
Even if your apartment’s bathroom is tiny, that doesn’t mean it can’t look good. The owners of this bijou space have been creative with their styling, choosing an interesting sink unit to add a feature to the room. The design is practical, too, as it’s open beneath, providing room to store objects and creating a feeling of space.
A small recessed shelf offers extra storage and is tiled to match the floor for cohesion.

Work the wood veneer
These veneered kitchen units add a retro feel to this New York apartment. To prevent the space looking too dark, the owners have popped in some duck-egg blue and teal in the form of a statement oven, splashback tiles and beautiful cookware.

Pep up your kitchen walls
The painted walls in Girls’ lead character, Hannah’s, kitchen are a central element of the apartment. Hers are a soft blue, while the owner of this eclectic space went for a bright aqua green. Teamed with red artwork and accessories, the shade peps up an otherwise dull cooking zone.

Make your bike a feature
A bicycle is a good investment if you want to make the most of city living, but in an apartment there’s often nowhere to put it. Make a feature of your two wheels with a stylish wall-mounted rack. In this West Village apartment, the bicycle is a work of art.

Keep the drinks trolley stocked
No hip New York-style apartment is complete without a space for socialising. The drinks trolley here is the ideal spot to stash a selection of cocktail ingredients, as well as some interesting silver essentials. Keep it tucked away ready to pull out to a central spot when needed.
