Detroit Inspired Home Decor: Vintage Flags for Modern Apartments

Rooted in Detroit: A Personal Note

I’m a Michigan native, and for several years I had the privilege of living and working right in the heart of downtown Detroit.

That time shaped me both creatively and personally. I fell in love with the energy of the city, the people, the small businesses, and the sense of pride that runs deep here. Detroit has a way of staying with you, and even though I no longer live downtown, a piece of my heart will always be there.

Supporting local and celebrating Detroit’s identity has always mattered to me. I’ve noticed how much people love displaying Detroit city pride in their homes, not just as decor, but as a reflection of who they are and where they come from. That’s what inspired this collection.

A Detroit Flag Collection Designed for Everyone

This Detroit-inspired vintage flag collection was created with intention and inclusivity in mind. I wanted there to be a flag for everyone no matter your style, space, or connection to the city.

The collection features a variety of looks, including:

• Girly pink designs for soft, expressive spaces

• Trendy slate blue tones for modern apartments

• Neutral palettes inspired by brands like Shinola

• Designs that nod to Detroit sports culture and city pride

Whether your home leans bold, minimal, neutral, or nostalgic, there’s a piece in this collection designed to fit naturally into your space.

The intention was never to create just one “Detroit look,” but rather to honor the many ways people experience and express their love for the city.

Celebrating Detroit, One Space at a Time

Detroit will always be more than a place to me — it’s a feeling, a chapter, and a source of constant inspiration.

This vintage flag collection was created as a way to honor that connection and to give others a way to bring a piece of Detroit into their everyday spaces. Whether you’re decorating your first apartment, a creative studio, or a home that tells your story, I hope these designs feel meaningful and personal to you.
