Many people are familiar with the situation when there is not always enough money to rent an apartment with a good repair and a stylish interior, and a more budgetary option does not dispose to feel “like home” in a rented apartment. Woman’s Day learned from the designer of the Crate and Barrel brand about how to make an ordinary apartment cozy, comfortable and, most importantly, beautiful.
Take a closer look at the walls first. If the wallpaper is worn and its pattern is not very attractive, just paint over it with white paint, which is produced specifically for wallpaper. This does not require much time and money, and the room will become brighter and more spacious.
Remember that white is a symbol of new life. And this is exactly what you need!
Tip # 2: decorate your apartment
Now that the background is ready, it’s time to add some accents. Use contrasting wall compositions and panels that will hide wallpaper defects. And in order not to spoil the walls, use double-sided tape, which fixes the object well, and, if necessary, can be easily removed. Even small mirrors can be glued onto such tape, which will visually increase the space of a small room.
Do not forget about photo frames, they will also successfully hide the imperfections of the walls. In addition, by arranging photos, you will bring a particle of your life into the rented apartment, and it will no longer seem so alien.
Lay a light carpet on the floor, throw a bright blanket over a shabby armchair, scatter pillows of your favorite colors on the sofa. Also, do not forget to hang new curtains on the windows, letting in sunlight, let there be plenty of it! It seems that these are trifles, but they will cheer you up and even make the room cozy.
Tip # 4: upgrade your bathroom accessories
Sometimes it is enough to simply replace the bathroom accessories to give the bathing room a fresh look. We advise you to choose accessories made of wood. Firstly, eco-style is now at the peak of popularity, and secondly, it embodies comfort and harmony in the best way possible. Also, be sure to hang a large illuminated mirror and lay a soft rug on the floor. You will see, you will no longer want to leave this place!
Tip # 5: customize your kitchen
Any housewife spends a lot of time in the kitchen, so do not deprive this area of your attention. You can hang bright plates or unusual clocks on the walls, put a vase of fruit or fresh flowers on the table. All this will help not only to bring your life into the space, but also to divert attention from the kitchen set, if you don’t like it …
And do not forget to arrange a royal meal for your beloved, setting the table with porcelain dishes and exquisite cutlery. Think of it as an investment: beautiful dining sets can be passed down from generation to generation without losing their value.
