When moving into your own space, it can be tempting to fill the entire space from the beginning. Read on to learn why you should take your time decorating.
Moving into your own space is a big step. During the process, it can be tempting to fill the space so it’s perfect from the beginning. Designing a space that fits your style doesn’t happen overnight. Spend time finding your style, staying within your budget, and making your apartment space a delightful place to relax.
Filling Space too Quickly
Jumping into anything too fast is never a good idea in any situation. This goes for decorating as well. Creating a decorating plan- like a vision board- before starting the process can help with putting the pieces together. Every piece of furniture, rug, accessory, light fixture, all go together with the next in a way you might not expect. This keeps your vision alive and allows you to plan out your space based on necessity and within your budget.
Accessorizing All From the Same Store
Allowing your space to look like it was created over time also gives way to your style. Accessorizing your space all from one place makes it look like it came right off the showroom floor. This says nothing about your style. Accessories are what make your space feel personal. A picture from a trip you took, art from a county you visited, passed down knick-knacks, all of this tells the story of your life to this point.
Buying All Your Furniture at Once
Just as you shouldn’t buy all accessories in one place, the same goes for furniture. By all means, if you need a place to sit, you need a place to sit. Albeit everything might be handed down, make use of that until you find furniture that reflects your style. This allows you to budget your pieces and create a home you’ll enjoy.
Settling for Generic Items
With restrictions on apartment living, it can be difficult to decorate. Many apartment livers don’t decorate because it is too much of a hassle. There are many ways to decorate your apartment space in a nonpermanent way. Layering with rugs and adding your favorite lamps can change up your space and can be undone in the move-out process. There is no need to live in a generic space simply because you’re renting.
Only Purchasing Cheap Items
Starting your journey in your first apartment, you’ll likely be on a budget. There are inexpensive ways to decorate your space. However, the best way to do that is not by skimping on quality. Purchasing a low-quality, cheap, couch will inevitably need to be replaced. Don’t overspend but get the best quality piece of furniture you can afford on your budget. Know what you can splurge on and know what items you can save on.
