Your home is your own personal oasis. When you’re spending time in your apartment, your space should be relaxing and homey. You don’t need a professional feng shui apartment layout to achieve the perfect vibe. What you think is comforting may be very different than another person. How you decorate and arrange your apartment should fit your own tastes, not what other people say is “right.” Here are some ways that you can make your apartment the perfect space for you:
Color is the perfect way to personalize your apartment. Whether you have roommates or not, there are ways of incorporating your favorite colors into every room. In your bedroom, pick a bedspread in your favorite color along with some wall art. Buy cookware or other kitchen tools that match. Some communities will allow you to paint, but be sure to check your own policy before starting! If you can, paint an accent wall. Many apartments are very neutral color-wise, so adding your favorite colors will spice up your space and make it feel like home.
Many people living in apartments struggle with storage space. Even larger apartments sometimes have limited storage. There are many ways to maximize your space to make it feel bigger and keep it from getting cluttered. Make sure every piece in your apartment counts. Invest in furniture or organization items that have multiple uses. Go ahead and get that cute bench that opens up to store your books. Get that couch that is also a pull-out bed for your overnight guests. There are lots of ways to maximize your space to make it even more functional.
It’s really important to choose the layout of your room before moving the furniture in. You don’t want to get everything inside only to realize that something that you want in one corner is completely blocked off. Make sure you choose a layout that works well for you. Think about how to arrange your furniture to maximize space. If you like having lots of people over, forego buying that coffee table so you can fit another chair in the living space. If you’re always keeping yourself up at night by using your phone for too long, put a table or dresser near an outlet away from your bed so you don’t have the temptation. And don’t be afraid to move furniture! If something isn’t working, try something new!
You should always add something completely you to your space. Put up photos of your friends and family. Buy some art that calls your name. Don’t be afraid to add something you love that seems quirky to others. You’re the one who has to live in your space, so you better make sure you love it.
