When LuxeDecor emailed me about writing a guest post, I knew that I wanted the topic to be about decorating an apartment. I know most of my friends are living in their first apartment or moving soon- hope these tips help and thanks Amy!
Apartment life doesn’t have
to be a sad sentence. For those residing in studios, single bed or
multi-bedroom apartments, there are a variety of tips and tricks to create a
chic space sans copious amounts of cash. If you’re looking to design your first
apartment or give your current crib a little overhaul, there are a variety of styling
options.
Here are a few ideas for
creating a fashion-forward apartment without a big budget:
Tip #1. Master the Art of
Texture
From a fuzzy ottoman to a
plush rug to a wool throw, this apartment is filled with fun textures. Adding a
variety of touchable trimmings to an apartment makes it seem more luxurious and
playful. A few statement pieces like a shiny coffee table, gold lampshade and
wall mirror give this space pretty pizzazz.
Tip #2. Find a Focal Point
A large drawing, blown-up photograph
or colorful painting makes any small room feel grander. A modern cityscape
makes this tiny dining room feel like a cool café. Artsy and vibrant, an accent
wall is fresh with a large mural.
Tip #3. Invest in Key Pieces
While blowing monthly rent
payments on vintage furniture and flea market treasures might seem tempting now
and again, it’s ultimately not the best idea. For those looking to pump up the
style in their apartment abodes, nothing is better than splurging on a few key
pieces. A sparkling gold chandelier, a few fashion photographs and a pink
dining table make this home feel like a trendy and livable museum.
Tip #4. Experiment with Color
Unconventional colors,
patterns and prints can make any small apartment feel more funky and friendly. A
tufted pink couch, geometric rug and yellow ceramic lamp give this space heaps
of character and charm. Mixing styles can be a great way to add a little eccentric
elegance to a plain living area.
