Tip No. 3 : Take care of the walls in your apartment decoration

Decoration adapted to your interior

The walls of your apartment are essential to perfect your decoration. Depending on the style that suits you, you can opt for a plain paint of neutral color or colored for a decoration with a more worked style. The paint will not clutter up the space too much and, depending on the color chosen, will make the room look bigger. For small apartments, prefer neutral or pastel colors.

To bring a touch of originality, choose a wallpaper with patterns such as bricks for an industrial decoration or tropical foliage for a jungle style.

Be careful not to overload the space which will appear smaller than it really is. Add this wallpaper only on a section of wall or on a small surface.

Concerning the decoration, you have different possibilities to dress your walls. First of all, for a rented apartment, it can be tricky to hang wall decorations. However, you can now get adhesive wall hangers that will not leave any marks on your walls.

Therefore, choose pretty pictures to decorate your apartment. Whether in the kitchen or in the bathroom, pictures are a good way to personalize the space according to your taste. Arrange these pictures to create a wall of frames, which will add character to your apartment.

To enlarge the space, you can add to your paintings pretty little mirrors in natural materials that will give a warmer style to the room. Always remember to harmonize the colors of your wall decorations to best match the colors of your walls. A patterned wall does not need much decoration.

Tip N. 4 : Apartment decoration : Plants to bring freshness

Adapting plants to your space

Whether it is flowers or green plants, plants bring a lot of style to your interior and complete your apartment decor. It is possible to place them in any room of the house while adapting the size of the plant to the size of the space. We advise you not to overload the space in your apartment, especially if it is small.

However, if you have a balcony, you can always hang flowers on it which will give you a country atmosphere.

Prefer small succulents in a bathroom or toilet, which are small plants, resistant and easy to maintain for those who do not have a green thumb.

For the larger spaces of your apartment like the living room, favor the cameo of plants by varying the colors between colored plants and green plants but also by varying the sizes. These plants adapt perfectly to any type of decoration, in particular to the tropical and ethnic style.

Tip N. 5 : Apartment decorating objects

For this last tip, we advise you to choose the right decorative objects according to the style of your apartment.

Add small decorative objects on a shelf for example, which will bring cachet to your apartment. Empty vases, colored or not, quite original, can dress up your apartment. Add a few candles to warm up the interior and it's done!

For small apartments or to illuminate the room, choose large mirrors. Indeed, the mirror is an object of apartment decoration in its own right and a must have for contemporary, bohemian or Art Deco interiors.

For rooms like the kitchen, choose a set of dishes that matches the style of the kitchen to harmonize the whole.
