5 Apartment Decor Ideas To Fit Your Style On A Small Budget

White walls, cookie-cutter rooms, and no nail holes allowed -- the restrictions and

limitations of apartments can feel oppressive, and it can seem impossible to add your own personal stamp to the space. However, with a bit of creative finagling, you can create apartment decor that fits your style perfectly.

1. Switch out their stock blinds for the window treatments that you prefer. For instance, add roll up bamboo blinds for a natural look. Fabric roman blinds in the hue of your choice bring a blast of color to the room. Store the stock blinds in a closet, and hang them up again when you move.

2. Removable wall decals can add interest to your walls. These come in a wide array of colors and patterns. Add scrolling Fleur-di-lis, splashy flowers, or a favorite quote to any room. There are even sports decals so you can support your favorite team and cures that "white wall" bleakness.

3. Choose some art for your walls -- the bigger, the better. You can truly change the appearance of a room with some well placed wall art. If your apartment complex has a rule against nail holes, hang your art with a removable adhesive which is easy to pull off later. That way, you can take it all down when you move without leaving any marks.

4. Stuck with furniture you hate? No problem! All you have to do is find some great looking slipcovers. Many people hold off on investing in quality furniture until they buy a home, which is completely understandable. Even if you're stuck with hand-me-downs or thrift store specials, you don't have to suffer ugly upholstery. Slipcovers come in a wide array of colors and fabrics. Plus, they give you a chance to give mismatched furniture a unified look.

5. Add your own area rugs, even if they apartment is already carpeted. Using area rugs pulls a room together and changes the atmosphere in a room dramatically. There are rugs available for all tastes and at all price points. If your style tends toward traditional, look for oriental style rugs. Those with a modern or contemporary flair can seek out bold geometrics or abstract swirls of color.

While most apartment decor schemes are constricted by cost and apartment complex rules, your imagination and creativity can help you overcome these limitations. Think about the look you wish to achieve, research what other apartment dwellers have done, and ask yourself how the style you want be implemented in your apartment. When it's all said and done, you can have an apartment space that is truly yours.
