Tips for Decorating an Apartment
Moving into a new apartment, or looking for apartment decorating ideas and don’t know where to start? Check out these tips to help you get started!
Know your design style.
Search the internet and platforms like Pinterest or Instagram to help find styles you gravitate to and to give you ideas.
Utilize great organization.
Utilize great organization, especially in smaller apartments. When everything has its place, it helps create a sense of calm in a smaller space. Amazon has some great options for bathroom, kitchen and general storage needs.
Have a budget.
Know what you can spend on decor ahead of time. Pro tip: leave a little surplus set aside because there is always something extra that will catch your eye.
Shop your own home.
It can be easy to forget what accessories you have hidden around your home, especially if you like to rotate decor in and out with the seasons. Know what items you already have and how you can use them in your new space.
Use rugs.
Rugs help ground a space and make it feel warm and inviting. If you're not sure where to start, try looking at rugs that are neutral in tone or are made of jute. These options go with most design styles.
Utilize room dividers.
Room dividers are a great design hack. Whether you have a studio apartment and need a “separate” space for a work from home area, or have a guest over and need privacy, dividers are a great option to increase the utility of a small apartment.
Go with items you love.
Your design is never wrong if it is a piece of furniture, artwork, or favorite item that speaks to you. Incorporate the items that you love into your space, after all they are a reflection of you and should bring you joy!
