Residing in a small space is tough, particularly when your decorating choices are restricted by landlord laws and rental rules. Relocating into a new apartment can also be taxing. After splurging on items such as tables and couches, it is daunting to think about how to make your new apartment feel like home.
Renting an apartment can be an excellent way of saving before joining the world of home-ownership. However, the disadvantage of renting is that you must abide by your landlord’s rules when it comes to decoration.
Nevertheless, you don’t have to live with unattractive light fixtures, plain white walls, and hideous appliances. When it comes to decorating your living space, there are various ways to make the apartment look and feel bigger without spending considerable money.
If you’re wondering how to do so, check this out.
Mirrors
Mirrors and other reflective surfaces can make your living space feel larger and lighter. If your space feels crammed, mirrors are a great approach to making rooms seem a lot larger than they are.
Mirrors can also cause your space to appear more luminous because they reflect back colors and light. Mirrors deceive the eyes into thinking that you are looking farther than you really are.
A great place to do so is the closet doors. Place a mirror on every closet door in your room and this will give you the illusion of a bigger room. The best part about mirrors is that they are available in countless sizes and shapes that are appropriate for any cost range.
Personalized Accessories
Add some flare to your living space by including some personalized accessories. Don’t leave out the accessories merely because you have a tiny apartment. The accessories give guests a feel of your distinct style.
However, before incorporating your personalized components visualize the appearance of your apartment. With the appropriate placement of your personalized accessories, you can convert any boring and dull living space into an inviting home that’s fully decorated.
Curtains
Curtains are another great way to decorate your space. Hanging different sets of curtains along the wall is a great technique of giving walls charm without the enduring effect of paint or wallpaper. Furthermore, it gives the impression that there are additional windows behind the curtains.
Curtains that have the same color as your walls will make your living space appear bigger. When positioning your curtains, ensure they are close to the ceiling, making the room and windows appear taller.
Paint Old Furniture
A creative solution to introducing color to your space if you cannot paint the walls is painting furniture. When you get tired of your bed or other large pieces of furniture, consider painting over the current finish rather than getting rid of your stuff. A new coat of paint could change a piece of furniture drastically without spending a lot of money.
Clear Furniture
Eliminate your outdated and boring furniture and substitute it with modern and clear pieces. Clear furniture will assume minimum visual capacity. For instance, glass tables will work perfectly while simultaneously being virtually hidden. Your room will also appear more spacious without bulky furniture. The space below could also function as storage.
Purchase Removable Decals or Wallpaper
Permanent wallpaper is intimidating since it is hard to remove from walls. Removable wallpaper is the ideal solution for adding personal style and color to a room. In addition to being simple to remove and apply, you can easily stick wallpaper to walls.
