Owning a beautiful home is the dream of most people. And the dream turns into reality when you sign an agreement for your first-ever apartment. Be it small or big, first apartments are always special, and an even more special thing is decorating this apartment and turning the space into a stylish space that becomes your sanctuary. You can transform your house into a space that echoes and reflects you.
Many people love to have their space done in particular themes, such as a wooden cottage, while others may like their apartment done in a modern minimalist way. Whichever theme people choose, all of them want to make their apartments feel like designer spaces that are tastefully done using high-end designer products.
Some may not have the budget to use high-end designer goods, while some people may just prefer to do their apartments in a minimalist yet designer way. If you are wondering how to get there and make your apartment feel like a designer space, here are a few tips from Argan Design to help you out.
Include Fresh Flowers in Your Environment
You can never go wrong with using fresh flowers. Flowers cheer up and lighten up a person the moment they enter any room. Flowers have been a classic décor pick for ages. From royal palaces to grand chateaus, fresh flowers always find a top place in any designer space.
Using fresh flowers in your home décor gives an added benefit of fragrance. You can match the upholstery in your room with fresh flowers to add that extra designer touch. At Argan Design, we can suggest multiple things that you can do with a fresh floral arrangement and match it up with your room’s upholstery. For example, you can do simple things such as using fresh white lilies in a vase and adding a printed curtain with one giant lily to make the space minimalist, or you can use a curtain with various small lilies to make the space more homely.
Play With Your Light
A designer space reflects dimension on the walls and the entire space of a room. When it comes to playing with dimensions, playing with your lighting is a must. Try to incorporate as much natural light as possible into your room, and then use modern lighting elements such as a sconce as an added accent.
A well-lit room instantly brightens up the moods of people entering it and makes the space appear large and comfortable. The next time you try to tweak your apartment’s interior design, don’t forget to work on lighting.
Pay Attention to the Scale
Whether it is an open-concept kitchen or a traditional setup of your home, pay attention to the size and scale of each room in your apartment. In one of our recent projects, we carved out specific zones in open-concept kitchen homes.
We didn’t make any compromises with the dining table, but we did make it a little smaller to make the room feel more spacious and avoid overcrowding. The key to a designer apartment’s décor is balancing the sizes and not overdoing anything at the top of its limit.
Ensure There Is Enough Storage Space
No home is complete without ample storage space. Even if you are doing it in your rental apartment, make sure you have enough options to store your things. You wouldn’t want to be in a home that has everything scattered everywhere.
There are a lot of options available, such as cabinets with shelves that you can customize and make rental-friendly for your apartment. At Argan Design, we can help you choose the right pieces that will help you make your apartment clean and yet be convenient to use.
Don’t Forget to Split Your Room
One of the best apartment decor ideas that most interior designers give is splitting your space into parts. A large drawing room may be great for entertainment, but it will be boring and look just like a giant space if it is not done properly.
If installing sliding doors is not possible in your space or it is simply not feasible for you at the moment, then you can consider placing a curtain instead. A curtain placed on an aesthetic curtain rod that goes end-to-end on the wall will work equally well to split your room and add an elegant touch to the space.
Make Your Entryway More Chic
When redoing your apartment, don’t forget to do your entryway. Entryways are the first places, usually where attention goes while entering a home. Even if the apartment is small, doing an entryway adds a designer touch to it.
You can add simple accents such as an umbrella holder and a couple of coat hooks to your entryway wall. Adding a little plant to this space can also do wonders. Less is always more when it comes to entryway designs.
Give Special Attention to Your Window Treatments
If you are looking for stylish apartment design ideas, then you will certainly come across window treatment options. Nothing defines a designer apartment like the window treatment.
You can graduate from the paper and plastic window treatments that you used in your days of co-living to something more grounded, such as stripped shades. At Argan Design, we suggest using both flowy curtains as well as shades that can make your room look more polished and help you settle in well.
Spend On Your Bed’s Headboard
Using the right headboard can make or break the aesthetics of your room. A simple bed with an elegant and classy headboard can completely transform the look of your bedroom.
You can see previous bedroom pictures where Argan Design transformed a simple bedroom into a designer space by using the right type of headboard. Headboards are not only great looking, but they are great from a utility point of view too. You can rest your head and sleep comfortably when you have the right type of headboard.
Hide AC Units Creatively
At a recent apartment, Argan Design creatively hid the radiator by using a heavy metal cover and included a floating shelf on top of it to store books and a couple of fresh flower vases.
By thinking creatively and thinking outside the box, you can make your apartment feel like a designer space on any budget.
