The apartment is our place of retreat and peace. It is where we relax after a hard day at work and enjoy our free time with our friends and family members. But it is only with the ideal decorative items that our homes become really cozy. We give you practical decorating tips and provide you with advice on how to create an atmospheric atmosphere in your apartment in no time at all.
Effects and advantages: What makes decoration special?
There is not just one type of decoration. It can consist of a simple, colorful wall design, practical objects that look pretty, or purely decorative objects that are just something to look at. Apart from that, it is so versatile that everyone is guaranteed to find something to suit their taste and can thus realize their own style. A decorated house puts us in a good mood and sets positive accents. Many decorative objects are also ideal as event decorations. Browse through our versatile decoration tips and discover suggestions that can be implemented quickly and also offer options for particularly small rooms.
Decorate in no time: Tips and tricks for quick change at a low cost
After a while, the current design of your home just seems dull and boring. This is usually only temporary, after all, we still like our furniture, the chosen colors and the decorative items. With the following decoration tips, you can breathe new life into your rooms in no time!
Additional lighting
Whether it's a string of lights, a pretty table lamp, indirect lighting, LED or traditional candles: Complete your own four walls with lovingly arranged highlights - in the truest sense of the word! You don't even necessarily have to buy new light bulbs: you probably have pretty lights in your home or in your Christmas decorations that you can use.
In the bathroom: new shower curtain for big change
Bathrooms, especially in rented apartments, offer very few opportunities for change. They are often quite small and there is no room for large decorations. But necessity is the mother of invention! A new shower curtain works wonders. A picture or new, colorful towels can also change the bathroom and make it look more homely from one moment to the next.
Rearrange furniture
Do you want a change, but you don't have the time or budget to do any fancy renovation work? Try to see if you can satisfy your desire for a change of scenery by simply moving the furniture. Turn the couch 90 degrees or swap the dining table for the reading chair: the living room will look like new!
Upcycling
You like the design of the cupboard, but the colour no longer matches the rest of your interior? Paint it in a more suitable tone! You can find many instructions on the subject of upcycling on the internet and discover a variety of ways to give new meaning to old objects, furniture and even packaging.
A floral greeting
The quickest way to free your home from the prevailing desolation is to have a bright bouquet of flowers as a table decoration or in a large floor vase. This means you regularly get a new decorative item that you can adapt to your current mood, the season or a special holiday. It is of course even nicer if you receive the bouquet as a gift from your partner.
Make small rooms look great with decoration
Regardless of whether it is a guest toilet, bedroom or office, you should design rooms under 10 square meters carefully. With suitable interior design and our decoration tips, you can get the most out of your small room. Paint or wallpaper it in the lightest and warmest tones possible. Open shelves also look less bulky than closed cupboards. Make sure that you only use one color concept and stick to it, as a mix of different colors in such a small space can quickly lead to chaos. However, small splashes of color or a single colorful wall - with a light border as a frame - create great accents and visually enlarge the originally cramped room.
Only concentrate on the pieces of furniture that you absolutely need and make sure you plan enough storage space. You should be a little restrained with the decoration, otherwise it will quickly look overloaded. Concentrate on a few highlights. A sculpture, a few flowers or cozy cushions and light-emitting lamps are ideal and create a homely atmosphere. Indirect lighting, which gives the room more depth, works particularly well. In a small guest toilet or dressing room, we recommend that you integrate as large a mirror as possible. It gives you the opportunity to visually double even the smallest room.
