Today’s roundup is right for millennials – you are probably secured your first apartment and puzzling over how to decorate and what items to buy first. You need to slowly fill up your new space while paying the rest of the bills, too. This roundup doesn’t include any essentials like beds, fridges, pots, tables but it includes some things that add personality and comfort to your space, which, we know, is one of the most important things ever.
Living Room
- Rugs add character and cozy up any space, and for some styles like boho chic, it’s essential. Go for a printed rug or one with detail that suites the mood you are trying to go for.
- A statement mirror or an artwork. This is another idea to add a personal touch to the space, decorate a blank wall with any art or poster you like. If you prefer to go the design root, a large framed mirror can really tie the space together too.
- Considering the fact that most apartments don’t have a garden, you’ll need a lot of plants at home. Go for big plants like ferns, cacti or rubber plants which are really easy to take care of. Adding interesting vases, hand-crafted clay pots makes your plant feature even greater.
