The Walls Are Talking: Wallpaper Around Evolve Apartment Communities

Jenny Yarborough Uncategorized amenities, apartment wallpaper, apartmentdecor, apartmentliving, asheville, autumn, charleston, charlotte, coastal, construction, cullowhee, decor, development, evolve, evolvecompanies, evolvecos, evolvethewayyoulive, florida, floridaapartments, knoxville, lovewhereyoulive, luxuryapartments, luxuryliving, modernliving, ncapartmenthomes, newconstruction, newprojects, newyear, northcarolina, palmcoast, propertymanagement, southcarolina, spartanburg, tennessee, thewayyoulive, upscale, urban

Bold Interior Design Choices

At Evolve, there is no “if walls could talk.” The walls are most certainly talking. From interior paint color ways to bold tile accent walls and dreamy wallpaper, we believe these interior design choices speak louder than words. (But if they were words, the translation: “Home, sweet home.”)

Let’s take a tour of a few of our properties to view wallpaper in the real and see how bold walls really level-up the feel of a room, bringing our apartment clubhouses and other amenities to life in cities across the Southeast.

Wallpaper Tour

Evolve

LAKE NORMAN

Mooresville, NC

The interiors of Evolve at Lake Norman – located in Mooresville, NC – vibe off of a not-so-subtle nod to the area’s deep roots in motorsports with the NASCAR Hall of Fame just a brief drive away. Black and white checkered wallpaper leads the way in much of the clubhouse accenting hues of velvety blue and gold.

Residents repose down the hall by the calming glow of the electric fireplace where wallpaper mimics watercolor contrasting perfectly the element of fire.

EVOLVE PALM COAST

Palm Coast, FL

Nothing screams Sunny Florida more than wallpaper with eclectic patterns and pops of color. With Evolve Palm Coast being one of our first apartments in the state of Florida to go into the leasing phase, we wanted nothing more than to honor the pervasive tropical feeling one gets when they enter the Sunshine State from the pool room to the mail and package room.

EVOLVE HOLLY RIDGE

Holly Ridge, NC *SOLD*

While Evolve Holly Ridge sold earlier this year, the bold, blue floral wallpaper is still spotlight-worthy. With the royal blues contrasting tan peonies of epic proportions, we felt this wallpaper spoke for itself so we made the wallpaper the art by framing it in natural wood-grain trim in a study nook of the clubhouse.

EVOLVE

St. James

Southport, NC

Our new build in Southport, NC – Evolve St. James – took to heart the old Southern town it’s built in. When you enter the building, we want you to instantly get that “you’re at the beach” feeling. Black and white palm leaves greet you at the door. The 24-hour Fitness Center and Yoga Studio continue the salty vibes with accent wallpaper printed with oyster-like shapes.

EVOLVE NEW HOPE FARM

Wellford, SC

Art surrounds you as you enter Evolve New Hope Farm. As not to take away from the gallery walls, we made the striking decision to take the wallpaper to the ceilings in some instances of this luxury apartment clubhouse and we more than kind of like it! At this Wellford, SC property, we spared no expense when it came to wallpaper because it just felt right. With a drastic (but fitting) mix of Colonial monotoned landscapes in the fitness center, Tartan plaids in the CoWork space and a gray paisley spin-off interspersed throughout the Clubhouse, we find the interior amenities at this apartment community to be up-to-par with a five-star resort.

EVOLVE AT HERITAGE

Wilson, NC *Now Oasis at Heritage

They say there is no black and white but we begged to differ at Evolve at Heritage (now Oasis at Heritage). Our Clubhouse wallpaper choice? Think “Harold and the Purple Crayon” but make it black. Now that’s a sense of nostalgia!

Oceans RV Resort

Holly Ridge, NC

Surf City, NC here we come! Oceans RV Resort is one of our most unique properties to-date. Rather than developing apartments on the land nestled oh-so-close to the beach, we chose to pave the way for vacationers near and far to stay a little or stay a while giving them the opportunity to bring the comforts of their own RV or camper while indulging in the finer resort-style amenities we offer at all Evolve apartment communities. Considering this is a vacation hot-spot, we brought on the island energy with palm leafs galore in the clubhouse and did someone say on-site bar? It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere!

Evolve Waterford

Bellville, NC

If you’re in need of some space for deep thinking, look no further than Evolve Waterford‘s co-work space just down the hall from the complimentary Starbucks bar. The moody, burgundy checkered wallpaper makes for the perfect place to nestle into a good book.

Evolve

Timber Creek

Garner, NC *SOLD*

While Evolve Timber Creek sold several years back, we can’t help but return to an old one that’s still a good one. This apartment community in Garner, NC was one of the first properties to include wallpaper in its design plans. Considering how quickly it sold, we owe Timber Creek props for making more room for wallpaper in our interiors to come.

Ambient, Grounded and Eclectic Design in Burlington with Ci Design, Inc

Evolving in Burlington, NC

Anyone who chooses to live at an Evolve Companies property knows style is a must and resort-style amenities are always a plush perk. As we evolved into Burlington, NC, we chose to work with Ci Design, Inc. on one of our latest multi-family apartment projects slated to begin leasing in the later-half of 2028.

Beginning this Spring, we entered the design phase of this recently named Burlington apartment community – Hawthorne at Alamance Crossing. While we work with Ci Design, we decided to take you on the artistic journey following the inspiration behind the design elements and full scope of aesthetics selected for this new construction project through a Q&A with our lead designer, Gisela.

Meet Gisela De Vittorio

Assoc. AIA, Principal at Ci Design, Inc.

Evolve asked: How did you first get into design?

Gisela at Ci Design, Inc. answered: I did not find design as part of a single moment; it has always been a part of how I see the world. Growing up in Puerto Rico, I was constantly drawn toward subjects in art and history. I spent a great deal of my childhood immersed in the historic center of our capital city, San Juan. Embedded in drawing, painting and pottery lessons, I was able to develop a unique perspective on space, form and artistic expression. The artistic influence from several members of my family, in addition to my growing appreciation for history, culture and the relationship between them, encouraged me to pursue architecture as a creative field.

Working at an interior design firm early on in my career shifted how I approach design. It was an enriching opportunity that gave me a deeper appreciation for the built environment and the intricacies that affect how we experience a space from the inside out. That transition refined my skills and broadened my understanding of how architecture and interiors work and meld together.

When I travel, I am constantly taking photographs as I am fascinated by how design visually evolves. I strive to create designs that feel timeless and rooted in context rather than tied to a specific moment. With that, I also enjoy bringing a sense of personality and unexpected detail into projects. Those touches of whimsy can transform a project from generic to a unique and memorable experience.

Evolve: Moving on to our Burlington property, what’s your process when you first begin a project?

Ci Design: We begin every project by studying the surrounding context and local market, looking at competitors to understand what is already there. The goal is to create something that respects the local character but at the same time is distinctive and one-of-a-kind.

From this research, we develop the design in close collaboration with our client, in this case Evolve Companies, refining ideas and incorporating new elements as the project takes shape. Every project establishes its own identity—we are constantly searching for ways to introduce unique elements, tailored to the space for residents and guests alike.

Evolve: What was the inspiration for the clubhouse?

Ci Design: Evolve Burlington’s (Hawthorne at Alamance Crossing) clubhouse was inspired by the surrounding natural landscape, with a neutral palette and subtle nods to nature throughout. We focused on creating a bright, welcoming space—leaning away from darker tones in favor of something fresh, timeless, and not overly trend-driven.

Texture and pattern add depth to the design, while artistic moments like the three-dimensional metallic artwork around the Great Room fireplace bring in a unique focal point without losing the overall warmth and comfort of the space.

Evolve: Tell us about the colors you went with.

Ci Design: The palette is primarily high-contrast black and white, creating a clean, bright foundation. Instead of relying on bold colors, we brought in interest through texture, wood tones, and subtle accents.

Natural materials play a big role in the aesthetic, adding warmth while tying back to the surrounding context. You can also notice hints of soft greens—particularly in areas like the restrooms—to reinforce that connection to nature without overpowering the space.

Natural materials play a big role in the aesthetic, adding warmth while tying back to the surrounding context.

Evolve Companies Clubhouse Evolve Burlington Ci Design

Ci Design Evolve Burlington Art Inspiration

Evolve: How about selecting art? How do you choose the right pieces?

Ci Design: We approach art with a broad audience in mind—pieces should feel engaging and appropriate. We tend to lean toward more neutral, abstract selections that complement the overall aesthetic rather than compete with it.

Color and composition are key, but it also comes down to instinct. The piece must visually fit the space and feel right within it—something that adds interest without overwhelming the design.

Evolve: What are your favorite elements of the design in this project?

Ci Design: One of my favorite features is the Great Room fireplace. We are treating it as both an architectural element and a piece of art, using a large-scale woven metal mesh that spans the wall. It creates an impressive and engaging focal point within a dual-height space while also bringing the scale to a human level.

Throughout the project, we focused on adding texture and visual interest in thoughtful ways, like patterned tile in the mailroom or layered materials that feel dimensional without being overwhelming. At the same time, we have created smaller, more intimate moments within the larger spaces — lounge seating, library-style nooks, and banquettes near the coffee bar.

Each area has its own identity, but they are all connected through a cohesive design approach. That balance between variety and consistency is what really makes the project feel complete.

Each area has its own identity, but they are all connected through a cohesive design approach. That balance between variety and consistency is what really makes the project feel complete.

Evolve: Bringing everything back home, what colors did you choose for the model apartment and why?

Ci Design: For the model apartment, we kept the palette neutral to act as a blank canvas, giving residents the flexibility to bring in their own personality. We paired wood-look or stone-inspired LVT flooring with two options for cabinetry: a clean white or a warm, khaki-beige tone to add softness without relying on traditional wood finishes.

Texture plays a big role as well, especially in areas like the backsplash, where we’re exploring subtle variations on a classic subway tile to add depth and interest. The bathrooms follow a similar approach, with neutral tones and black fixtures for a clean, cohesive look.

Overall, the palette ties back to the amenity spaces, creating a seamless extension of the overall design, while still allowing for slight variations between units.

While design choices are well underway, color perspectives are next up for selection. Stay tuned on Instagram for our final color reveal.

DIY Apartment Interior Design Tips From The Professionals

Evolve: Are there any tips or tricks to maximizing space in an apartment?

Ci Design: It really comes down to being resourceful. Thoughtful furniture selection and layout are key—look for pieces that can serve multiple purposes, like storage ottomans or convertible tables.

You can also layer in personality through smaller design touches, so the space feels full and intentional without relying on larger, space-consuming elements.

Evolve: Do you have any tips for residents who are just moving in + need a little help visualizing their space?

Ci Design: Start with a mood board—it’s a great way to bring your ideas together and see how everything will work as a whole. Whether it’s on Pinterest, Canva, or even printed cutouts, having a visual plan makes a big difference.

It also helps to measure your space and plan ahead before purchasing anything. Think through your layout, key pieces like the sofa and rug, and how everything will function together. When you take the time upfront, it is much easier to maximize your space and make every surface feel intentional and usable.

Saltwater Pools

Whether you’re looking to move to North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee or all the way down to sunny Florida, Evolve Companies promises to offer amenities beyond the expected. Step inside any Evolve Cos clubhouse and you’ll find interior details designed to impress and make apartment living easy and plush. Amenities at our apartment homes often include pickleball courts, complementary Starbucks coffee & tea bars, 24-hour fitness centers, pet spas, outdoor grilling pavilions, dog parks, game rooms, playgrounds, putting greens, and even golf simulators. Our residents’ favorite warm weather amenity? Our resort-style saltwater swimming pools.

In the design phase of any apartment community, our pools are not something we take lightly. With summers centered around the pool, we don’t just dip our toes in, we go all in often including private poolside cabanas, grilling stations, fire pits, ping pong tables and comfortable seating for your family and friends. Our pools are also always fully accessible with ADA pool lifts.

Stay Salty

Evolve Companies always likes to stay a step (or a few steps!) above that standard. So when designing our pools, we always elect to build saltwater pools rather than chlorine.

Why are saltwater pools better than traditional chlorine? Saltwater pools tend to be milder on the skin. Saltwater is actually the pure form of chlorine meaning it still keeps the water just as clean but the system uses electrolysis to convert the salt into pure chlorine without the skin-irritating byproduct ingredients found in pool chlorine. That means no red eyes, dry skin or stripped hair due to chemicals – just soft, silky saltwater.

It’s time to jump in!

While most GPS devices will tell you it takes about 20 minutes to drive from Southport to Oak Island, we clock less than 10 minutes from our parking lot to the beachfront. Oak Island is a long strand of beach comprised of three different towns: Holden Beach, Long Beach and Caswell Beach. Take your pick!

Wrapping up 2025 at Evolve Companies

We’re wrapping up another year at Evolve Companies, and we’re so excited to share about our evolution in 2025. Here at Evolve, our hope is to build the dream so you can live it—so we’re looking back at what we’ve built over this past year.

This glance back at 2025 is all about the construction projects we have underway and the communities that continue to evolve. Join us as we look back on how we evolved in 2025 and what we have up our sleeves in 2026!

Evolve Palm Coast is still under construction and is slated for completion in February 2026.

Not only do these one- and two-bedroom apartment homes have sophisticated finishes, but the community itself offers incredible amenities from a saltwater swimming pool and fitness center to a game room and dog park.

The finishing touches are underway, and Evolve Grove Park is expected to be complete by the end of the year!

Keeping the evolution growing in 2026

We have so much more up our sleeves at Evolve in the year to come.

Just 30 minutes outside of Nashville and 10 minutes from Mt Juliet, the garden-style community of Hawthorne at South Hartmann will start framing in spring 2026.

Construction at Evolve Soundside in Surf City, NC has begun, and framing will start in summer 2026. Located less than 30 minutes from both Wilmington and Camp Lejeune, this garden-style community will be the perfect place to grow.

The Bennett in Northlake is also underway with an estimated completion for November 2026. This community is a 4-story project in the Northlake mall area and will feature modern architecture and elevator access.

2025 was a huge year for us here at Evolve! With so much magic made this year, it’s hard to believe we have even more up our sleeves for 2026.

Highlighting Evolve Waterford and the Level 5 designers

Here at Evolve, we want your apartment home to feel like a permanent vacation—your own private oasis. Each Evolve community features luxurious, resort-style amenities like saltwater swimming pools, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, and beautiful resident clubhouses.

Beyond the incredible amenities, our communities are designed with intention. At Evolve Waterford in Belville, NC, we’ve truly leveled up with Level 5 Designs. We had the pleasure of interviewing several of the designers who helped transform Evolve Waterford, and we’re so excited to share all about the design process and unique elements that help make the community so special!

Diving Into the Design

Our Evolve team asked: How would you describe the design process at Level 5 Designs?

The team at Level 5 answered: Incredibly collaborative! We aim to bring in all the ideas we can at the beginning of a job especially to see how we can make each project distinct and intentional.

Evolve: How would you describe the design elements that define Evolve Waterford and luxury living here in Belville, NC?

Level 5: Bold and notable. We wanted Evolve at Waterford to stand apart in the best way possible in Belville, while still ensuring there was a relatable aspect where residents can be comfortable and make the most use of the spaces. Much of the photography is specific to Belville which made the selections all that more intentional and special!

Evolve: What was your favorite/most memorable space to design when it came to Evolve Waterford?

Level 5: We have so many! The turquoise rock art in shadow boxes in the Leasing area was a fun way to bring in texture and color in a creative and unexpected way. Designing the main Clubroom was also a collaborative effort from our team, our goal was to ensure each zone felt inviting, intimate, and well-defined, while still maintaining a cohesive flow from end to end with impactful moments in each direction someone would turn.

Evolve: What is one go-to/easy way to elevate the interior design of any room? How did you implement this at Waterford?

Level 5: Layers! This is an aspect we utilize in all of our jobs, bringing in lots of layers of texture and curated items instantly makes a space feel more designed and elevated. We aim to create this sophisticated design aspect but with a lived in approach so those who get to experience the space feel comfortable. Specifically at Waterford, we extended the materials all the way to the ceiling which is a highly effective design technique for elevating a space both visually and experientially – Our black fireplace tile, faux concrete columns, and full height backsplashes aimed to hone in on this design aspect.

Evolve: What are three words that come to mind when thinking of the design elements of Evolve Waterford?

Bold, unmistakable and one of a kind!
