I’m moving into a 1000 sq ft apartment with white walls and cream carpet. We have sort of ugly (but functional) hand-me-down furniture from the 1970s.
Does anyone have any good ideas for making the apartment cozy or Decorating it? Since we are on a very tight budget, anything we could make ourselves or that doesnt require a lot of money would be great. Thanks!
Paint is cheap and makes a huge difference. If you can paint your apartment I would definitely do that. Go for a warm color maybe taupe or if you’re not afraid of color go bolder. You can make curtains out of bed sheets if you can sew. Also hang them above the windows as high as you can to make it look more dramatic. You can also extend them outside the windows to make them look wider. Accessorize with stuff from tag sales or consignment shops. Good luck!!
