All About Apartments

Make Their Space Your Home

If your currently and apartment dweller don't worry you can make this rental feel like home. You don't have to own a home to make a home your own.... Your space whether it's rented or not affects your mood and how you live in it.

The key here is to surround your self with things you LOVE. It maybe a rented space, but it should still say "It's All About Me" Living in NY there are more then 100,000 renter- occupied apartments. More and more owners are realizing the benefits of allowing renters to engage in the previously frowned-upon practice of painting and driving nails into the walls.

Owners now realize that when apartments feel like a home the tenant wants to stay longer and it's a selling point when new tenants come to look at the property.

Here are a few bullet points to help you make your apartment a home....

* Replacing standard-issue light fixtures with nice ones you can take with you when you move.

*Use large plants to hide unsightly pipes or stained walls.

*Display artwork that reflects your personality or adds a pop of color.

*Paint the walls in colors you love

*Use freestanding bookcase and hutches that provide a large scale to display space.

Remember even apartments in the same building maybe decorated differently. In small spaces the use of mirrors makes any space look larger. Plants often soften a room and gives any space a cozy feel.
