Looking for ideas to decorate your new apartment?

Who says you can’t make your rental your own?  These 10 tips help make your apartment feel a little more like home.  Add some personality into your apartment with these easy, rental friendly ideas!

 

  1. Bring on the plants!

 

Plants are a great way to add some color into your home.  Plants are also known to boost moods, increase creativity, and reduce stress, making them the perfect companion for working from home! Add plants in windows, on tables, or in corners to brighten up the space.

 

 

  1. Add some personality!

 

Add some personality into your apartment by using fun furniture and decor.  Curtains, throw pillows, and rugs are a great way to add your own style into an apartment.  Bright colored furniture, not only makes a statement, but brightens up the space!

 

 

  1. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall.

 

Add mirrors to your space to reflect light and make the space feel bigger.  Adding mirrors to a room is like adding another window.  Make the mirror the focal point of a large space to draw attention.  And you get to look at yourself… who doesn’t love a good mirror selfie?

 

 

  1. Should you get a footstool?

 

You otto-man! Get a storage ottoman to add more storage space.  No only does it make a comfy footstool for movie days, but add a tray and use it as a coffee table.  Get an ottoman that opens for storage to store your blankets, movies, or remotes!

 

 

  1. Make the space ‘out’standing!

 

Make the most of your outside space by decorating your patio or balcony.  Add some fun plants to add a pop of color or a chair and table so you can enjoy your coffee in the sun!  Who says the decorating has to stay indoors?

 

 

  1. Create a jaw-dropping entry!

 

Create a welcoming entryway to welcome guests into your home.  Add a mirror to check your hair on the way out the door, a table to drop off your keys after a long day, and some fun decor to welcome you home.

 

 

  1. Just hang out….

 

What’s better than using decorations?  Make use out of your decor by creating a hanging garden or hanging other items such as coffee cups or utensils.  This simple DIY project is a great way to fill up wall space with useful items.

 

 

  1. $20 Artwork?

 

Tired of spending your life savings on artwork? Try this DIY!  Simply build a frame and wrap any fabric, shower curtain, or tapestry around the frame.  This DIY can save you hundreds of dollars and is a great way to customize your own art to match your decor!

 

 

  1. DIY Dry Erase Board

 

Tired of the big, boring whiteboard taking up room on your wall?  Try using a picture frame and paint samples to make your own custom dry erase board to match your color scheme!

 

 

  1. Say it all in a doormat.

 

Add a personal touch to your front door with a doormat.  Tell your guests a funny joke or add a monogrammed letter to represent your last name.  The possibilities are endless.  If you can think of it, you can put it on a doormat!
