Getting a new apartment is an exciting adventure. Today, most people are enjoying an apartment rental instead of ownership. According to the Pew Research Center, 34.4% of renters are not 35 yet, which is pretty common. However, even if you don’t own the place, there are plenty of ways you can transform a rental into the luxury apartment of your dreams.
1. Color Palette
Select a color palette or style before you start shopping. Knowing the colors you want before shopping ensures your decor isn’t too chaotic, which can harm your mental health. Decide if you wish to use your favorite color and which accent colors pair best with the primary color. This will be the basis for your apartment rental decor.
2. Sophisticated Minimalism
A minimalistic style creates elegant sophistication and makes decorating easier than you can imagine. Minimalism is all about clean lines and neutral colors. You don’t want to buy more than a few decor pieces for your apartment because otherwise, you may risk the place looking too cluttered. Invest in baskets and other organization and storage methods to ensure everything looks tidy.
3. DIY Mirror Decor
An apartment rental might be small, but that doesn’t mean it has to feel small. Mirrors are known to create the illusion of a house or apartment having more space. Pick up a few decorative mirrors in various shapes to decorate the walls. Hanging mirrors make beautiful wall decor. Utilize tall mirrors as functional decor in the bedroom. This way, you can see how your outfit looks and enjoy a more spacious feeling. Additionally, mirror stickers are great for apartment rentals because they don’t put holes in the wall.
4. Natural Themed Decor
Today, more people are enjoying natural decor and Earth tones. Beige and brown are everyday neutrals in this color palette. So, you can pick up plants to add a natural greenery that will match well with your Earth-tone palette. Almost any neutral color pairs well with this palette, making decorating a breeze. You can add accent pillows in terracotta for more color and pick up a few burnt orange vases for decor. This combination creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making your space feel effortlessly stylish and grounded.
