Unfortunately, it is rarely possible to find
perfect apartment . That is why it is so important to prioritize when apartment hunting based on what is most important to you. Usually this means simply sacrifice some storage space for an apartment that is closer to public transportation, or something similar, but sometimes where you find is not quite what you wanted in many manners.
So what you're supposed to do when you are apartment living situation is that you're not crazy? It is essential to create a space, you will feel happy and comfortable in the term of your lease, but that's easier than you may think. Here's how to work with what you have and create an apartment you like:
Find your ideal setup
Believe it or not, your furniture arrangements may a huge difference when it comes to how you feel about your apartment. Even if you are not subscribed to Feng Shui, there is something to be said for the use of furniture to create a flow in a space
Tips :. One, do not fill up with too much furniture - it can start to feel cramped and uncomfortable. Two, do not commit a straight configuration. Try different arrangements every day until you land on one that feels just right.
Add Lighting
The lighting, especially natural lighting is a great way to perk up any apartment. My apartment is adjacent to a lane, which unfortunately means most sunlight is blocked by the building next to me.
If, like mine, your apartment is sorely lacking in enlightenment, supplement with additional street lights and use full-spectrum bulbs that mimic sunlight. You can also hang mirrors strategically to reflect light and brighten the apartment.
Working with walls
If your landlord allows it, and you have the written permission, consider painting your walls. A few touches of color on an accent wall or two can add a little spice to otherwise boring white walls.
Bright colors, such as yellow and pink, are cheerful and energizing, while greens, blues and browns offer a soothing effect.
Make your bedroom a Haven
Whether in a studio or a separate room, the area where your bed should be as comfortable and peaceful as possible. In fact, making the bed itself is just the way you want, it can help you feel better about your entire apartment.
Use linens plush, blankets and pillows to create a haven you can retreat.
Get Rid of Clutter
Clutter is much more psychologically stressful than you might think, which means keeping your apartment tidy can help you enjoy the time spending in her. If you feel like all the rooms in your apartment is too crowded, both with furniture, tchotchkes, or anything else, make sure to get rid of five to 10 items.
Choose pieces of furniture or other things that you're not as crazy or that you will never use -. you will start to feel better in no time
look pretty
Spend the first two weeks (or months if you are a procrastinator like me) after moved into your apartment each making nice room.
Add wall hangings, framed pictures, and anything that makes you feel good. Real or fake, flowers in a vase are a charming touch that can make for a happier apartment.
Splurge on a piece of statement
If you are in the market for a few basics of furniture, consider springing for the one you love absolutely.
whether a large antique armoire or a nice sofa, this kind of madness will make you enjoy more of your apartment. Make sure that the money you spend is an investment in a piece that you will be able to bring with you when you move in the future.
Entertain
you want a super easy way to love where you live? Just invite some friends! Almost everything is better with the addition of some good memories, so have your girl or guy friends to watch your favorite show or invite a group of people for a party.
it will instantly brighten your space and make it feel homey- and compliments to everyone on your good taste in decor can not hurt either.
Keep Comforts Around
To make your apartment feel like home, surround yourself with your favorite things and more sentimental.
This could mean viewing photos on your dresser, stacking some of your favorite books on your bedside table, or keep a secret stash of chocolate in your freezer. Having comforting elements around is like clinging to an old security blanket (in the best way possible).
Take Your Time
If you are not in love with your apartment right away, keep in mind that it may take a few time to settle.
make changes, add the decor, and rearrange things from time to time until you determine how best to use the space you have . Give it enough time, and you may find you are damn fond of where you live
