Budget-Friendly Apartment Decorating Ideas

DIY Artwork

Once you have moved all of your belongings into your new apartment, you might sit down to rest only to find yourself looking at walls that are empty and unadorned. Wall decor and artwork can be expensive, even if you shop at the big box stores in town. Creating your own wall decor is the best way to ensure your apartment embodies your own personal sense of style, and it is often much cheaper than buying premade artwork. Love to paint? Why not pick up a canvas and some acrylic paints to make your own masterpiece? This allows you to choose your own color palette to coordinate with existing design elements in your new place.

Low-Maintenance Plants

If you have an empty corner of your apartment, it might be tempting to fill it with the latest on-trend decoration. Sure, floor vases and whimsical branches have their time and place, but they may not always be in style and they may not coordinate that well with your other belongings. Beyond that, you want your apartment to have a cozy, lived-in feel to it, and trendy decor often provides a sterile, staged appearance. Greenery never goes out of style, and adding a few live, low-maintenance plants are timeless decor items. Plants are inexpensive, never go out of style, and they complement virtually every kind of decor out there.

Multi-Purpose Furnishings

We offer some of the largest luxury lifestyle apartments in town — in fact, our largest apartment is almost 1,400 square feet! You might find yourself shopping for various furnishings to make the space feel like home with all that space, much to the detriment of your checkbook. Rather than looking for individual furnishings for each room in your new Hickory apartment, consider buying multi-purpose furnishings. For example, a simple bar cart is a versatile piece of furniture that can be used as a nightstand, a console table, or a plant stand. Creativity can pay off big here, and it can benefit your checkbook to boot.

Thrifted Furniture

It is always nice to have brand new furniture in a brand new apartment. Unfortunately, good, high-quality furniture will cost you a pretty penny, which can make finding furniture for your new place an expensive venture if you are starting from scratch. As a cost-effective alternative, check out local thrift stores, yard sales, and social media groups for secondhand pieces that need a little TLC. A little bit of paint and new hardware might be all it takes to revitalize an older piece. Thrifted furniture not only provides you with a fun and easy project, but it also allows you to create one-of-a-kind pieces that inject your personality into the space.

Inexpensive Curtains

An apartment can have all the right wall decor, plants, and furniture, but it if doesn’t have the right window coverings, it can feel a little bare and unfinished. Nothing finishes a space quite like the right kind of curtains, and you don’t have to spend exorbitant amounts of money to find a set that will work. If you know your way around a sewing machine, you can make your own, or you can browse local stores to find curtains that match the rest of your decor. Living in an apartment doesn’t mean you have to go without curtains, and if you would like some advice on how to hang curtains without damaging the walls, just give our staff a call!
