Five steps to your apartment's new look

According to some standards it could be said that we should renovate our apartments every year

, buying new fancy furniture, following the last trends when it's about colours or some home gadgets, but in fact the number of people that could afford this is very small. Experts advise us that the new look of our home gives us refreshment, help us escape routine and improve our flexibility, but many times things are not so easy to do.

But maybe you need a lot of money for some fundamental change of the look of your apartment, but you need very little money for small changes. Add to this little time, little effort and the tips that we are recommending you, and you can give your apartment a nice little makeover that has a great big effect. And before the start we must remind you that you are not playing some makeover games, this is your apartment, so be really open eyed while you are doing these changes.

The clutter should disappear

You have a bunch of things that don't have their place and they are making the real mess. You promised yourself last year that you are going to find place for them, but you obviously didn't do that. The general rule is that if you haven't touched these things in three months, or even you forgot that you had them, throw them out! Remove or downsize the number of knickknacks, paintings or pictures, put them in a box and rotate them every other month! Less is definitely more!

Time to give your furniture a new look

Maybe you are sentimentally connected with your grandma's slipcovers but they are a thing of the past. If you want a makeover, now is the time to change them. These times there are stylish slipcovers for living room furniture as well as for kitchen chairs that will give your dining area an elegant, sophisticated look. You can choose between many different colours and patterns that will add just the panache you're looking for!

Be creative with your walls

You live in an apartment that is rented and you've signed in your agreement that you should not paint the walls? That's not a problem! You could buy a length of tasteful yet inexpensive cloth from a sewing store and drape it from chic and classy hooks. To finish the new look, add pictures or paintings.

Grab a screwdriver

The look and theme of an apartment changes best the changing of the knobs on cabinets or dresser drawers. That runs for the light switch plates and curtain rods as well. The good thing is that you can take all this things with yourself if you move from this apartment.

Lay it on

Find some interesting area rug. Adding colour coordinated rugs at your apartment will provide continuity through the entire space. This step will give the final touch to your apartment makeover.
