Maximizing space

If there is not enough storage space in the apartment, but no way to expand, then you can opt for open shelving. Furthermore, to keep the items organized, it is better to put them in boxes. The floor hanger in the hallway can replace the heavy and bulky wardrobe.

Mix and match furniture

Occasionally, there might be an opportunity to buy some furniture pieces that will freshen your ambiance. On the flip side, you don’t need to replace everything. Instead, maybe just grab some stylish chairs or a new sofa. It’s remarkable how it will add some flair to your interior.

If the apartment you rent hasn’t been renovated for many years, don’t be upset. Any flaw can be turned into something even better.

All of these elements can be purchased cheaply and will help add an old-school look. With the right combination, these can add even chic vibes overall.

A great and inexpensive way to liven up the interior is to hang bright curtains on the windows. They will immediately enhance the interior look, even if all other furnishings remain the same. Beautiful fittings will transform any furniture. And a simple replacement of handles can save even a hopelessly outdated kitchen set.

A new coat of lacquer or wax will help hide the scratches on the dining table or cover up with a nice tablecloth. You can completely transform the interior with new wallpapers, posters, and vinyl stickers. At the same time, it is not necessary to fill the whole room, but one surface should be more than enough.
