Tips To Decorate Your Apartment Suite – Curate Your Living Space

Sticking with similar themes of shades of colours and patterns you can trace throughout each room can create cohesion. A recurring theme throughout your apartment can help create a whole, and connected space, which can create a cosy and relaxing tone.

Having a focal point in your apartments like a rustic bookshelf, or a plush area rug will draw the eye towards that particular area, and away from any problematic ones that you want to divert attention from. Your statement piece can also be an accent wall – a bold wall colour can especially add depth to the space in a beautiful and stylish way.

Using smart storage is key, so getting creative will not only help utilize your storage space but also be a cool way to decorate the apartment. If not hidden or stackable storage, collapsible furniture, pegboards, and shelving can help neatly organise things and also help keep things out of sight. However, most apartments in Colombo, Sri Lanka including the likes of Cinnamon Life have inbuilt smart storage options to offer.

Hanging up paintings, photos, puzzles, or any other kind of art can really give an empty wall a room added depth, even if there is not much space to spare. Gallery walls have fast gained popularity as a fun way to keep things on display and out of the way, all the while filling your home with character and colour.

Given that apartments aren't all that big on space, a much-loved interior design trick is to use plenty of mirrors to reflect light and open up the size of your space. Hanging a beautiful ornate mirror in a small bathroom or in a seemingly cluttered dining room can instantly make the room feel brighter, fresher, and larger. Tall mirrors in particular can make ceilings feel higher while bringing a sense of illumination to the darker and dimmer parts of the room.

While you may not be able to remodel certain fixtures in your new home, it does not mean that you have to be stuck with the way they look forever. You have the option of using DIY coverings or accessories to hide unsightly plumbing and cables. For example, an ornate grate can be used to disguise an old wall heater, while a framed photo or print can cleverly hide a defunct outlet.

If you live in an apartment that has an open plan, using an area rug is a great way to define and divide spaces in your room. Opting to go with neutral coloured rugs will also serve you well, as they won't be hard on the eye and clash with the rest of your decor.
