If you just moving out of a hostel, your parents home…moving out on your own…this is for you. Now although it is your first apartment it doesn’t have to be basic and you don’t need to be confused. Here’s the simplest guide you could use to achieve a perfectly put together space.
Do your research
Owning an apartment for the first time means there’s a lot you may not have information or experience on. Maybe you don’t know what interior decor style you love most. You may also be wondering where to find stuff for your space. I advice that you first do your research on the various interior decor styles. This will guide you on what colours and decor items go with each style. Also remember to find out where you can shop your items from.
Assess your space
Knowing what space you are dealing with allows you to decide on so many things like furniture size and alignment, colour choices, lighting fixtures etc. If you have a tiny space then you know white and neutrals are your friends.
Certain furniture layouts can also help minimize space usage so it doesn’t look or feel squeezed.
Other than size, it is important to determine the lighting, fixtures already in the room, wall colours etc. This way you know how to integrate what is already provided for with what you have, or what it is that you are going to change.
Make your choices
Now that you have options you can pick out your style, colours and hence decor and furniture. You need stick to that as you go shopping keeping in mind the space that you have.
Having shopped for and assembled everything that you need, you can start with the arrangement. You can try out various arrangements and see which one looks best. However, remember that you don’t have to have everything at once. You can always shop for items as time moves on.
In case you need help, you can always hire the services on an interior stylist or decorator. Good news is you can always that’s me! Get in touch via my socials or email for a free consultation over the phone.
