Apartment Decorating Ideas to Elevate Every Room
Turn your apartment into a stylish escape with these budget-friendly tips. This year’s decorating trends suggest all kinds of ways to refresh your space without making permanent changes. Here are some of the best apartment decorating ideas — for every room — that’ll have you loving your space at a whole new level.
The Living Room: Where Style Meets Comfort
Decorating your living room is all about creating a warm and cozy space with a little personality. Curved furniture is having a moment because it softens angles and corners that might otherwise make your place feel “boxy.” Consider an elegant curved sofa or a pair of curved accent chairs to add visual interest and create a more organic flow in your space.
If you’re in a hurry to make changes, soft blankets and throw pillows are an easy go-to. Jewel tones are trending, so think about adding some sapphire, emerald, or ruby to your space — and mix and match different textures and patterns on your sofa and chairs for eye-catching variety.
Don’t forget about lighting! Make a statement with dramatic floor lights or unique table lamps. These add ambiance — but even better, you can move them or change them as your style evolves.
The Bedroom: Your Relaxation Station
Give your room an elevated and minimalist feel by switching out your outdated bed frame. Low-profile frames are trending, so this is an easy way to upgrade your bedroom’s look. To create a hotel-like atmosphere, consider using luxurious bedding and soft natural fabrics. If you’ve always believed your bedroom should be a calm retreat, this is ahow to create a peaceful space that’s still stylish.
The Kitchen: Cook Up Some Style
There are many ways to spice up your kitchen decor in budget-friendly ways. Look for whimsical fruit-shaped bowls, citrus-print tea towels, or even a quirky lamp in a breakfast nook to add some fun to your countertops.
Speaking of counters, keep them stylishly organized with modern baskets or colorful containers. They keep things tidy while also adding visual interest to your space. Metallic and glass accents are another hot trend, so don’t be afraid to add some glamour to your kitchen. Try gleaming copper canisters, a gold-framed mirror leaned against an out-of-the-way wall, or utilitarian glass storage containers to elevate your space.
The Bathroom: Spa Vibes at Home
Boost your mood with bold and cheerful colors and patterns. The easiest way to do this is by swapping out your shower curtain, bathmat, and towels. Choose bright colors or fun patterns that make you smile every time you walk into the room, then accessorize with coordinated bathroom items like a stylish soap dispenser, toothbrush holder, or wastebasket. These small touches can tie the whole room together and make any apartment bathroom feel magazine-worthy.
The Entryway: Make a Great First Impression
Your entry hall sets the tone for your whole apartment, so make sure to give it some love, too. For starters, try a large standing mirror — it makes the foyer feel bigger and provides an easy way to do a last-minute “fit” check before you head out.
Adding a small bench or stool is another great addition to an entryway. You’ll add a place to sit to put on your shoes, but you’ll also have a landing spot for bags or packages. You can use baskets, as well, or decorative bins underneath to keep clutter stylishly contained.
