Last week I talked about the power of colors and I’m sure many of us would like to add color to a room, without having to paint. You’re in luck! There are many things you can do to make your apartment pop, without having to pick up a brush. Here are some ideas on how you can brighten up your place:
Colorful Curtains– Hanging bright curtains on your windows can brighten up your room in an instant. They can have a pattern, be plain, or mix and match. Find what works best for you and your room!
Picture it– Add a colorful picture frame next to your couch or T.V. and hang a mirror on the wall. It’s easy decorating and can really finish a room. I have a big mirror hanging by my door. It looks nice and is a good way to check my hair before I answer the door =).
Pillow Power– Small pillows can add design to your room and a sense of comfort. I like to use pillows that compliment the colors of my curtains =)
Smell the Roses– Flowers are my favorite decoration because they look nice and smell great. There are tons of colors so pick up a cheap bouquet and put the flowers in a fun vase!
These are just a couple ways to brighten your apartment and really make it your own. They can all help to finish a room and make it pop. Experiment with different colors and find what you like best!
