Have you recently bought or rented an apartment and unsure how you can bring your new home to the current design trends? Here are a few tips on how you can turn a drab apartment into a stylish, warm living space.
Swapping Up Wall Paint
Most apartments come with one plain, common and sometime even a dull colour which can really make things feel boring and that’s one of the last things you would want to come home or wake up to. Painting the walls, a different colour can change things for your apartment as well as match whatever furniture and household items you have. If you prefer something different from the lighter shades, going for colours that are bright and simple work well such as a creamy white, light grey, sage, a bright colour of ochre is some popular colour while dark blue, green, silver and even purple are some artsy colours that can be pulled off as well.
Dressing Up Your Windows
It might not seem like it but windows can take up a lot of attention of the room as sunlight passes through and sometimes it’s a beautiful sight to see a window covered with something that doesn’t appear so boring. Getting a colour to go along with or to compliment the room will it look much more polished. Fabric curtains, shades and drapes work well on any apartment as long as you get a nice colour to go along with your walls. BMA notes to be careful with what kinds of fixtures are put on your windows however, as some apartment complexes will have specifically bylaws as to what is allowed to put up.
Add A Bit Of Colour
You don’t want to walk into a home that lacks colour everyday so start by making your furniture and other objects do their part. Cover up couches with different colours, place a colourful cover on your tables and even place a nice coloured cabinet or table in the room. Avoid sticking to one colour, especially if your room is a shade of white or other bright colours, add a bit but don’t overdo it and make it look like someone spilled paint all over the place.
Covering Up Your Floors
Floors can be decorated too! Place an area rug under a table or in the centre of a room, this will add much more design and will also make places such as the living room or study room a lot more comfortable. There are a lot of designs to choose from but try not to get a colour that stands out so much in the room as you don’t want the first thing to be noticed in the room to be the rug but just need it to add a bit of touch.
Luxurious Feels To Simple Bathrooms
A bathroom may not be the largest part of the apartment but it certainly deserves a nice touch to it. Get some nice small decorations such as a tiny vase or a display of old perfume bottles to cover up spaces you find dull and try setting up some wallpaper with patterned designs to go along with the size of the bathroom. These simple techniques can make even the simplest bathroom feel more luxurious and bring more comfort.
Dining Area And Kitchen That Looks Good Enough To Eat
Regardless of the size of your kitchen and dining area, adding a few simple decorations can make it look and feel great. Putting a display of fruits on a table is a common yet beautiful site while arranging seasonings, utensils and even appliances properly will make everything look more organized and nice to look at. Matts, fruit collections and even a vase on a table will make things less dull and certainly add some flavour to your kitchen or dining area.
