How to Furnish An Apartment

 

Moving Questions–How Can I Make My Space My Own?

No matter the cost, location, or square footage of an apartment, there will always be something that needs to be customized to fit your personal design style now that you moved into your new home. Maybe you have a small space that needs to be opened up, or maybe there are some unsavory features visible like pipes or cables that you want to be covered. Whatever your apartment needs, there are ways to achieve a great look that fits your style with a little bit of personalization.

Moving Answer–The Right Décor Goes a Long Way

If you want to make a small space feel larger, choose furniture that will keep the eyes moving continuously around the room rather than halting at each piece. For example, opting for furniture with taller or more decorative legs helps the eye to continue moving rather than being drawn to the base of the piece which is common with furniture that sits on the ground. Keep the lighter and airier feel to your living room with a glass-top coffee table. A simple coat of paint can also do wonders for opening a small space–if your apartment allows paint, choose one accent wall to paint a darker color. This can give the appearance of more depth to the room and trick the eye into thinking the room is larger.

 

If you need more physical space in the apartment, get creative with the way you use storage space. Collapsible furniture like a Murphey bed or hidden storage under the couch or other furniture is a great way to create usable space. In addition to creating new space, be smart with the space you already have. Drawer dividers, cabinet organizers, and acrylic shelves are widely available and usually budget friendly. Ensuring that you make the most of your organizational space will keep clutter out of your space so the focus can be on your apartment. If that still isn’t enough, consider a storage facility to alleviate your space constraints.

Finally, use décor to hide anything unsightly. Just because you can’t move or remodel fixed things in your apartment doesn’t mean you have to look at them. An intricate tri-fold partition can hide an ugly boiler, or a large piece of wall art can hide a breaker box (just make sure it’s easily removable).
