Is there anything more exciting than moving into your apartment?
Making your apartment feel like home, maybe?
You get to try out new routines, and go shopping for furniture and other accessories.
It’s an exciting moment to be alive.
There is one problem: figuring out how to make your new apartment feel like home.
So, during the duration of your stay, how can you make your apartment feel like it was made particularly for you?
Making a home feel comfortable, motivating, and beautiful so that you want to cook, invite visitors, or simply relax, is important.
Here are five suggestions for making your place feel more like home.
1. Stay Neutral
If you plan to move around a lot, purchase the objects you own in the space in a neutral colour. It will make your apartment feel like home.
This is because neutral tones provide a more open, clean, and airy atmosphere, and you can experiment with them.
Neutrals can be utilised in decor in two ways: a gentle, peaceful appearance with simply neutrals or a backdrop hue for dramatic highlights.
Layer several tints of the same colour for an elegant and sophisticated effect if you’re trying for an all-neutral outfit. You can also follow these suggestions when choosing harmonious colours:
- Choose a lighter colour (White) for the walls and a deeper colour (Grey) for the furniture.
- Choose an area rug/carpet that complements the floor while also being a shade darker than the walls to make the furnishings stand out.
- Use decorations that include some or all of your chosen colours to tie the area together.
2. Use More Lighting
If almost every room in your house has a window, that’s a good thing. Natural light has the ability to alter an area radically.
By eliminating any curtains, shades, or other light deflectors from your area, you will be able to make your room feel brighter, fuller, and more motivating.
Now, if you don’t receive enough natural light or despise the lighting you have, you can replace it with artificial lighting.
Artificial lighting can significantly impact how your apartment feels, especially in the evenings or if you are not permitted to use candles where you live.
3. Get Rid Of Extra Junk
It is essential that everything has a place; therefore, get rid of any unnecessary stuff in your home.
Avoid clutter.
Although a structured system is not required, you will end up with clutter, if you don’t know where things belong.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a rental your own.
The most fantastic way to make the most of a space is to keep it minimal, and simple.
Also, keeping things simple and orderly can help you keep your apartment cleaner and more organised. This way, you’ll save a lot of money, giving you a chance and financial capability to make other selections in the future.
Remember, simple tweaks and rethinking can be the most effective ways to make the most of your space.

4. Bring In Plants to Make Your Apartment Feel Like Home
Plants are a great, low-cost way to make an area feel warm and inviting.
Some plants are easier to bring indoors than others, so check out this comprehensive list of beautiful houseplants and how to care for them.
Plants provide several benefits to a place, including naturally filtering the air and creating a friendlier atmosphere.
You could create a fabulous DIY for your room easily.
Gather used pots and containers from a thrift store, garage sale, or antique store, then purchase a bag of soil and a few plants.
You can paint the pots the colour you please and place your plants all over your house.
This creates a homey feeling in your apartment.
5. Be All About The Paint
Because most rentals don’t allow you to paint anything, you can still do it on the furniture.
Finding reused items and painting them to fit the environment is another fantastic method to breathe new life into a space.
For example, you can paint your chairs a colour that compliments your walls to make your apartment look high end and spacious.
Before you go crazy with the paint and start painting the walls or cabinets, get permission from your landlord (or double-check your lease agreement). If you are not concerned about losing a portion of your deposit fee, make sure the landlord is aware of your plans.
However, if you own the space or it’s a rent-to-own, consider simple minor renovations such as repainting cabinetry, walls, etc.
The more fun you have while at it, the more you will enjoy making your rental feel like home.
