4 Frugal Design Tips For Apartment Living
Your home is the showcase of your personality
Your home is the showcase of your personality. It's the collection of what you enjoy, the people you love and the expressed culmination of life's experiences.
The wall colors, floor finishes, trims and built-ins all play a role in expressing your personal design style. This is what makes a house a home.
But, when it comes to decorating and designing an apartment to make it your own, it poses a creative challenge.
Many apartment contracts today prohibit doing any personalization to the walls and floors so what can a person do to make that apartment feel like "home".
No worries! Here are some fun, frugal and easy non-permanent solutions to giving that rental a permanent look. You don't have to compromise your design style just because you live in a rental property.
Tip 1: Choose your favorite fabrics to use in your upholstery and window treatments. These are additions that any apartment management company expects. Don't feel like you have to limit your decorating expression.
These will be going with you when or if you leave that rental unit so take your time and choose what you want in the way you want it.
Tip 2: If you have a special collection or valuable accessories that are important to display, forget the limiting wall shelving. Instead, bring in a free standing cabinet that compliments your collection. This way you can establish a specific location for your enthusiasms that can be highlighted in whatever way you see fit.
Tip 3: Compliment the room with baskets, textured fabrics and slip covers. These are also easy to up grade, remove or relocate as you life changes.
Tip 4: Introduce an area rug that brings in those fun colors that are not allowed to be painted on walls. Tie in the bright bold colors introduced by your rug throughout the house with matching accents that will pull the color into those rooms. Some examples could be, toss or floor pillows, lamp shades, fake flowers, picture frames and mates.
Your apartment will look beautifully yours when you use these creative fluid decorating ideas. You won't have to be concerned about hiding excessive marks or damage to walls. Everything is designed to go with you whenever you need to change locations.
If you find yourself needing to move often invest in quality furniture that is designed to take apart and break down quickly for packing ease.
