Five Innovative Ways to Decorate Your One Bedroom Apartment

​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.

I like your suggestion of throwing different framed photographs around your apartment as decor! My brother wants to convert his small apartment into a personal gaming den that he could enjoy. We should probably look for a renovation expert for advice and feedback regarding his ideas.

Your tip about using large fixtures like king-sized beds in an apartment was definitely a tip I can follow. I've always been a big fan of large beds and would want one in any apartment I rent out, especially because I might have family members visiting often. I'll keep this in mind so I can pick out the proper furniture fixtures for any apartment I manage to rent out.

My wife and I want to decorate our apartment, but we're not sure what to do about it. It makes sense that I would want to get some nice pictures to hang around. That seems like a good way to ensure that we can have a nice looking home.
