How To Decorate Your Apartment On A Budget

Decorating your apartment can be a fun way to express yourself and your personality. Decorating your apartment on a budget doesn’t have to be a struggle, it can be an adventure. Whether this is your first apartment or you are a renting pro, let’s take a look at how to decorate your apartment on a budget.

Functional Furniture – 

Choosing furniture with many uses is great for any budget. Some examples of this can include:

• A kitchen cart that can be used for storage and as a small island.
• Living room ottoman instead of a coffee table for storing seasonal decor.
• Instead of purchasing a dresser for the bedroom, choose a bed with built-in drawers or a headboard with storage.

Furniture that is functional and multi-use will help keep you organized and on budget.

Re-Purpose

Shop garage sales and thrift stores to find hidden gems that you can re-purpose to match your style. End tables, dining chairs, and lighting can be expensive. But a little imagination and elbow grease can bring new life to older pieces of furniture. Don’t let color or fabrics discourage you. Keep a folder filled with patterns and styles that appeal to you. Bring it with you for inspiration.

Some upholstery projects can be accomplished with a pair of scissors, simple tools, and a staple gun. And a bedside table might only need a coat of spray paint. Here are some tips and tricks for upholstery and painting.

Discount Shopping

With so many brick-and-mortar and online options available, discount shopping has never been easier. Remember these stores when you purchase bedding, mirrors, even kitchen dishes. Most of the time this stock is perfect. The discount may apply because the items are overstocked or from last season. These stores have just about anything you are looking for including a selection for children and pets. Find your favorite discount shop for a wide variety of home decor!

Keep your eye on the prize when you are visiting friends and family. Most people love a bargain and will share the local spots where you can find a great deal. With these tips, we hope that decorating your apartment on a budget will be a breeze!
