I have had so much putting together my apartment over the past almost year. It has been the first time that something is truly my space and I could decorate how ever I wanted to. Obviously, there are a lot of things you cannot change about a rental, but there is things that you can add and tweak to make a space that reflects your style. I say the majority of apartments do not allow you to paint (although I've seen some that do allow it), so that means getting creative with putting your personality in you tiny home.
My favorite area is definitely my dining area. It came together perfectly after I found these cane back chairs on Facebook Marketplace. Every element in the space just works so well together, and love being in it. I knew I would be home a lot studying when I started medical school, so I wanted to create a space that I loved, felt comfortable and wanted to be in :)
Peel + Stick Removable Wall Paper - I LOVE that I did this to a wall in my apartment. It really made the space feel like mine and covered up the generic off white apartment wall. It can really transform a space! My tip is to try a test piece of the wallpaper first to be sure it removes easily, I didn't have a problem with mine! This is the wallpaper I have.
Removable Backsplash - I did not do this in my apartment, but I have seen others do it and it looks incredible. It really elevates a kitchen or bathroom and feels like it adds a personal touch.
Wall Panels - These are something I recently came across. I like the idea of adding these to a wall, and I bet they could be put up with command strips. You can also paint them so theres a fun contrast. I envision using these panels on a wall to make a perfectly space and framed gallery wall. Stay tuned as I might try to order and paint some and make my own paneled wall!
Mantel - You do not need to have a fire place to have a mantle. It can easily be decorated with candles, art and your other favorite pieces. They can be on the pricier side if you are looking online, but I have seen them at vintage stores, antique stores and consignment stores, so it could be fun to check out your local one!
Bed Headboard - I have yet to find a headboard that I love thats somewhat close to being in decent price range, aha. But having one seems like it will really tie you bedroom space together. I'm just not a big fan of having your bed just up against the wall without a headboard, but that is exactly what my set up is hahah. I love these because you can pick a fabric to upholster.
Framed Wallpaper - If you are unsure about doing a wall in removable wallpaper, you could frame long sheets of wall paper and create big wallpaper panels. This would still give great wall coverage and look like high end art. It could even be more cost effective than getting enough wallpaper to cover a whole wall!
Stay tuned because I am planning to share a big post with all/most details from my apartment!
As always,
