Five Innovative Ways to Decorate Your One Bedroom Apartment

1/18/2018

​The place you live and create memories needs to be welcoming to you. It should please your senses and entice you to participate in activities surrounded by décor that comforts, inspires, and gives you a sense of well-being. Whether you are decorating your first apartment or you’ve become bored with your present décor and need a change, these ideas will help.

1) Picture This
Photographs can tell your story and are appropriate for every room in your apartment. Print out photos in black and white and frame them in a signature color to scatter around a bedroom. Print random shots and make a collage by gluing them onto a huge black canvas that becomes a focal point in the living room. Hang pictures from that special dinner party or Thanksgiving in your kitchen. Photographs of you poolside or at the beach are terrific accents in the bathroom.

2) ​Can I Quote You?
Use an inspirational quote in every room. Take hints from the things that quote conquers up in your imagination on how you should decorate. For instance, print out that famous quote from Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, “There’s no place like home”, and put it on your nightstand. Rather than ruby slippers, a couple of red sequin accent pillows will add a splash of color and make you smile because you know what they represent.

3) Go Bananas, Go Cherries, Go Grapes, Go Whatever
What’s your favorite fruit, animal, or place? Use just a touch of that ‘whatever’ in every room. One of the simplest decorative touches is to use the same theme throughout without going all out. Instead of decorating the whole room to look like Paris, an Eiffel Tower statue on the coffee table reminds you of that special place. One of the best examples of this is an apartment that had a monkey in every room. Monkey candlesticks on the dining table, monkey toothbrush holder in the bath, monkey lamp on the bedside table, Curious George book on the coffee table, you get the idea! A little touch in each room brings a sense of unity and fun overall.

4) Go Big
Get that oversized chair, king size bed, exquisite antique, or table for eight and let it rule your décor. A great investment piece will be with you for a lifetime and can set the stage in your first home or forever home when it comes to the mood you want to create. Let the magnitude of your signature piece do the decorating for you.

5) Let Me Collect
My… Those baseball caps, books, vacation spot t-shirts, crosses, dolls, or linens that you’ve collected for years inspire great home décor. They can become your theme when decorating one room or your entire apartment. Display them grouped together instead of letting them remain unseen taking up space in your closet.

A few things to keep top of mind as you go to decorate:
  • Decide and keep to a budget - the above ideas work on a tight budget or one that gives you plenty of leeway.
  • Use non-damaging hangers - if you rent, be mindful of the rules you need to follow to hang things.
  • Tidy up - a clean, uncluttered space looks better.
  • Ideas are a magazine or store display away - walk through Paul Michael, Home Goods, TJ Maxx, or Rooms to Go for ideas on furniture arrangement. Look at a copy of Elle Décor, House Beautiful, Dwell, or Country Living for inspiration.
  • You’re your best decorator - no one knows you like you do, so trust your ideas.

Apartment Living: Tips for Finding the Most Compatible Roommate

College students studying on the grass on campus - college apartments - lafayette la
Sharing an apartment with a roommate makes great economic sense. How do you find the best roommate to share your living space? Utilize these tips and make your search using criteria and methods that will help you select the best potential match for your style of living.
 
Tip #1:  Ask Your Friends and Family 
Get the word out to your friends and family. Informing them that you are on the hunt for a roommate is a great way to find out who else they know that is out there looking for a roommate. These are people that already know your habits and lifestyle. They can help steer you in the direction of a potential 'roomie' that shares some of the same interests.
 
Tip #2:  Know What You Are Looking For  
You are about to make a major decision. Take the time to make a list of criteria your roommate must match. Define the things that are important to you in a living situation so you can weed through the potentials that will be headed your way soon. Be honest with yourself about what's important to you. Start with some easy choices:  non-smoker or smoker, male or female, shift worker or non-shift worker...to get the ball rolling.
 
Tip #3:  Advertise Online and Places You Frequent 
We live in an online world and that world has websites like Roommates.com, Craigslist, Roomiematch.com, and Facebook. Take a look at these sites and post and/or advertise to find your roommate. You can create a profile or post listing your expectations and target it to your geographic area. Check websites and/or physical message centers of places you visit like your place of employment, gym, church, and alumni centers, and see if you can place an advertisement or notice there. 
 
Tip #$:  Share Your Interest and Expectations in Advertisements/Posts
Your potential roommate is checking you out to see if you are someone they can get along with as well. Give them some information on what you like to do and what it would be like to room with you. Discuss the types of movies you enjoy, what type of books you read, hobbies you pursue, and places you frequent. Tell them what type of housekeeper you are, what your tastes run to in decor and a quick description of your personality. Remember to keep it real and honest.
 
Tip #5:  Ensure They Can Cover Expenses 
It's a reality that is costs to live. Have a frank conversation with any potential roommate about monthly expenses outside of rent. Make sure to include all bills and how much their portion will be each month. Explore what their occupation is and make sure their work is steady. You don't want to have to find another roommate a few months from now because their employment was temporary.
 
The above tips can help you consider the things you need to in the selection of your perfect roommate. Using these tips will help narrow your choice to someone with similar habits and personality traits that will make sharing living space a dream.
 
You've found the perfect roommate; now find the perfect well-furnished apartment. Contact Lafayette Gardens Apartments  and choose the best floor plan for you and your 'roomie' today!
