Getting into a wonderful apartment is always great. However, it takes a bit more to really feel like your apartment is home. One way that I have found helps, is decorating it to match who you are and your style. Now I know this can sound a bit daunting, especially if its your first home; but I have some tips to help make it a bit easier! And a plus, they are all rental friendly!<\/p>\n

Take some time to plan<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
It can be enticing to get out there and immediately start buying cool items. However, you may find that they don’t go together, or you end up with more clutter than a designed looking area. Before going out, take into account the room design itself. Natural Lighting, room shape, and a color scheme. Color schemes can really help keep the area looking more put together (even if you aren’t great at decoration choices).<\/p>\n

1. If you have a limited budget, focus on the important things!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
  Not everyone has a lot of money to spend on a ton of decorations, so spending it where it counts is important. The items that make the most difference is Area rugs, Bed linens, and Lighting. A good variety of these will go a long way in the space. It also helps to have a headboard on your bed. A mattress in the middle of the floor usually doesn’t help with a cozy feeling.<\/p>\n
  $\"\"$ <\/p>\n
  1. Storage Storage Storage!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Look isn’t the only important thing, storage is very important. If you don’t want a ton of random items laying around, it helps to have somewhere to put it all. It can also add a great look to the area if you find the right ones. Such as an ottoman storage system, or a bookshelf. It’s the little things that make such a large difference.<\/p>\n
    $\"\"$ <\/p>\n
    1. Mirrors are Magic<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Mirrors aren’t just for checking how you look. They can really take a space to a new level! They reflect lighting as well as the space, making it look so much larger! They really have a great effect on an area, and can help replace wall art if you don’t want to waste energy on them.<\/p>\n
      $\"\"$ <\/p>\n
      I use these tips to really make my space feel more like my own, and I hope that you can use them yourself! Let me know how they worked for you. I’d love to hear about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
