6 Apartment Décor Ways To Live A Glamorous Lifestyle

At some point, almost everyone dreams of living in a glamorous house or even an apartment.  However, who’s to say that you can’t have a glamorous apartment? It’s not just about buying a luxury apartment, but also how it’s set up inside. Check this website Atelierdtla.com for the examples of luxury residences.

Don’t get bogged down by money issues; all it takes is a bit of research and ingenuity to make your apartment décor elegant and awe-inspiring!

Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered below:

Choose Furniture Wisely

If you already have old furniture coming in, see if it fits in with the walls and windows of your new place. Don't try to fit your huge dining table or couches into tiny rooms. If possible, break them up into smaller, more manageable pieces (it’s absolutely possible!). If not, donate or sell them and get something that’s eminently suited to your space.

You may not be able to get furniture that exactly matches your requirements, especially if you have colored walls. In such cases, go for neutral shades, but be sure to get some upholstery, throw cushions, or throw rugs to pull your rooms together.

Add Cushions

Even if you’re living in a rented apartment, you should ensure that you create a welcoming space that you’ll enjoy any time you want. Cushions were once associated with royalty and luxury. Today, cushions provide that extra touch of indulgence wherever you want in your apartment—in the bedroom, living room, or an outdoor seating area. 

Of course, the most practical reason for adding throw cushions or throw pillows to your furniture is making them more comfortable. However, these pillows also add a refreshing touch to your space. For instance, throwing in these green velvet cushions will make your bed or sofa look inviting and cozy.

For an instant refresh, invest in excellent quality cushion inserts and change your cushion covers. One idea is to coordinate your cushions with your existing décor. Choose colors that will coordinate with the color palette you’re currently using. If your existing theme is already in bold prints, try balancing it out with cushions in neutral colors. 

On the other hand, if the majority of your space is in neutral colors, consider adding brightly colored cushions to add depth. Consider combining different textures such as velvet, silk, and fur. Or you can also combine light and heavy textures to make your home look both comfortable and modern.

Using uniformly shaped cushions will make your space look too formal. Thus, it’s best to combine cushions in different shapes and sizes to create a welcoming look. If you’re concerned about making a room look too masculine or feminine, try using gender-neutral color combinations like grey and yellow to lift your space. You can also try terracotta, mustard, seafoam, and sage green.

Decorate Doors and Windows

You get wall stickers, wallpapers, and special paint textures to decorate your walls, so why not the doors too? In fact, there are several ways of decorating your doors in a less permanent and more affordable way than with walls. If you’re renting, clear out this detail with your landlord or apartment manager first.

Unique and customized door knockers could add a nice touch, as can decorative wreaths, hanging lamps near the doorway, and many more personal touches. If you have the time and budget, have the doors painted non-neutral colors to make them stand out from everyone else’s.

Use Dividers

It may seem strange, but dividers can actually make rooms seem larger than they already are. This is because you take a space and use it for several purposes without them clashing with each other. You can create a private reading nook within a huge sitting room.

Consider changing up the lights in that area so that you get an even better separate effect. Plus, dividers serve to add instant walls to your rooms. You hence have more space to place your furniture against.

Don’t forget the artwork, either! A nice relaxing area can come to life with its own unique art piece for a whole separate theme.

Get A Unifying Theme

When you hang up any kind of artwork, make sure it follows one special theme throughout the house. For instance, you may love nature; have flowery decorations in one room or the leafy ones in another. However, don't completely change things up by having garish art deco! Pick one theme and stick to it, only varying it slightly from one area to another.

This sort of unity has the potential to make your whole house seem like a showpiece.

In short, personalize as much as you want, but keep within the limit of one idea instead of many.

Display The Books

Don’t be ashamed of having gathered a huge collection of books. These are excellent décor pieces that can make for an impressive display. The same goes for any kind of collection you have one hand; don’t hide it all away to enjoy in isolation—spread it out, make it work, and enjoy the praise!

For books, you’ll need an elegant bookcase or a shelf-covered wall. Organize the books in an artistic fashion; you may choose to group them according to their colors, for instance. Stack some horizontally, some vertically, and put in a couple of decorative pieces to break up the monotony.
