Apartment Decorating Ideas On A Budget
While there's a lot of resources out there for decorating today's larger homes, there's very little about how to decorate an apartment or incorporate your furniture into it. Let's face it, many people are downsizing these days and even a 1,000 square foot apartment can seem pretty small after living in a house.
Decorating your apartment with great art does not have to be expensive. There are many economical options for art lovers. You may discover unknown artists on sites such as Etsy or Artfire. Free Art is another option for art lovers on a budget. Art does not need an expensive frame in order to look great. In fact, a frame doesn't need art to look great either.
Most great art also comes with a great price. If your budget does not allow for a large art expense here are some options for you to try. First, try looking in your photo collection. You may have just what you are looking for right in your home. Did you take a fantastic picture of a double rainbow on your last trip to Yosemite? Go to a copy shop to have this enlarged and then take it to a picture frame shop. Even if you do not have funds for the frame you may try picking out a complimentary mat board or two to bring out the colors in the photograph.
With a bit of imagination you can afford great art on a budget. You can use your own art, your child's art, art you pick up at a second-hand shop or even art you can download instantly from your computer. Most apartments have blinds in the windows and to add color and warmth to your apartment all you need to do is add some window treatments. Use valances or sheers if you're worried about your budget or go with custom-designed draperies if your pocketbook allows. Either way, you'll warm the place up without risking eviction just by hanging something on all the windows.
