Unique Home Furnishings
what are some cool ideas to do with my new apartment?
I just got a new apartment. Its very nice. Its 891 square feet in size. Huge bathroom. Nice size bedroom, huge walk in closet, big bay windows, tall ceilings, a balcony, a space to put a kitchen table, and a living room. What are some creative ideas to do with the space? What are some neat products I can use to make my apartment unique? What are some good websites I can visit to shop for neat unique home furnishings? Any ideas? I am a 28 year old female, if that helps anyone at all in narrowing things down.
Without knowing your personal style, this is impossible to answer. But I’d like to introduce you to my way of decorating (and I’ve done this with other people as well). Get about a half dozen of your favourite decorating magazines. Get a stack of post-it or other sticky notes. Go throught the magazines and every time you see something you like, put a post-it on the top of the page so it sticks out. Make a brief note as to why you liked that theme. For example, “colour” or “lamp” or “artwork.” Eventually you’ll start to see a pattern emerge, a pattern of themes you’re comfortable with. It might be something like “romantic blue damask, white trim around doors, with dark floors and modern chandelier.” From the magazines, you can often source a lot of items on line, or you can shop for similar items locally. Take your time and really buy items you love and can live with, rather than rushing and compromising. Start with the most difficult items to find, those large ticket items such as sofa and rug; it’s easier to find a paint colour to match the sofa than the other way around. Take your room measurements (preferably on an accurate floor plan) with you as you shop so you don’t buy items that are too large or too small. If possible, keep swatches from items you buy, carry them with you as you shop so you can visualize colours together accurately.
Some of my favourite stores and on line sources are Anthropologie, Restoration Hardware, Horchow. Local stores are Ikea, and even places like T.J. Maxx.
Have fun!
