You don’t have to be an interior decorator to make your apartment look fashionable and inviting. Just a few easy updates will give your apartment a fresh, new look – and it won’t cost you a lot of time or money. Here are 20 ways to express your style and creativity in your space:
- Update a lampshade with some paint. Use stencils or try it freehand.
- Make your small kitchen look modern with black and white accessories.
- Find some prints or old photos you love and enlarge them for your walls.
- Mix up the dining room. Instead of matching table and chairs, mix it up by finding antique chairs in a variety of styles
- Use different variations of a single color to give your bedroom a modern, funky look.
- Put small and large accessories together in a grouping.
- Try using photo mats that are the same color as your wall.
- Put your artwork in an asymmetrical grouping.
- Add tassels to a throw pillow.
- Define your living space with a bold, circular rug.
- Paint some old chairs a bright, vivid color (think tangerine orange or peacock blue).
- Add some flowers to the dining room table.
- Change your standard lightbulbs to some Edison bulbs for an industrial look.
- Add an oversized light fixture to your dining room (think big and bold).
- Use floating shelves to display your favorite collections.
- Twine and mini clothespins make a great way to display photos, and you can switch them out often.
- Add some pale shades or pastels to make your apartment feel light and airy.
- Hang photos from floor to ceiling. Use adhesive hooks so you don’t leave marks on the wall.
- Coordinate your bathroom towels to match the rug and shower curtain.
- Add mirrors to a small room to make it appear larger.
