Decorating can be one of the most exciting parts of moving into a new apartment. With all that fresh, open space to explore you have a blank canvas for your creative processes. Unfortunately, many home stores charge high prices for simple pieces and adding all of the décor you want can often feel impossible. Luckily, there are several small pieces you likely already own that you can repurpose into decorative accents for your apartment.
- Books - Books are one of the easiest and most affordable ways to fill up an empty shelf. Not only will a row of brightly-colored books add decoration to your place, they will also become a conversation starter for your guests to pull out and comment on. If you don’t already have a stack of books to arrange, head to a local used bookshop and pick some out. Used books will typically only run you a few dollars each and you’re sure to find some unique ones!
- Houseplants - If you keep any potted herbs or similar plants, turn them into décor! Set your plants up on end tables or bookcases for a pop of freshness in any room. Just be sure to keep the area beneath them clean and dry to avoid water stains.
- Wrapping Paper - Believe it or not, leftover wrapping paper can actually be made into a beautiful wall hanging. Save printed wrapping papers that you like and cut them into neat squares before setting them into matted frames. Then, hang them up and wait for your guests to admire your art collection – nobody will ever know it’s just framed wrapping paper!
