Does your apartment have eggshell-colored walls or plain brick walls? Here are 7 ways you can decorate a small apartment. Go from boring and blah to a more loving and lively place you, your family, and friends will love to be in.
Go Bold or Go Home
A great distraction from those egg shell walls or brick walls is bold colored furniture. Not all apartments let you paint your wall whatever color your heart desires, but they cannot control what color furniture you chose to put in your apartment. Go with your favorite color and do not be afraid to buy a burgundy, emerald green, teal or orange sofa. It creates a statement by contrasting against the plain colored walls and you can always balance it out with an area rug.
Area Rugs
If you cannot find a bold colored sofa, try an area rug. Area Rugs create a contrast with an effect of complimenting different accents in the room. Neutral area rugs with a tone downed earthy color, balance out the room with a bold colored sofa. Vis Versa, if you have a leather sofa or more neutral colored sofa like brown, white, or ivory, go for a boldly colored area rug.

QUICK COVER I’M NAKED! Of course, your walls are! Add some wall accents to your bare walls. Figurative artwork, abstract art, mirrors, family photos, a clock or even little framed quotes can even do the job. Here is a quick guide that will also help.
