Moving into your first apartment you’re bound to have a picture of what you want it to look like.
Cute rugs? A solid aesthetic? You have it all planned out in your head.
Just don’t let yourself get to carried away. It will never look exactly how you have it imagined.
Coming to terms with this early will take a lot of pressure off your shoulders. Instead of breaking your back to make your apartment look like something out of a catalog, just make it comfortable for you.
No one is going to judge you if everything doesn’t perfectly match. Also, it can be very expensive to decorate an apartment like the ones on online.
If you do decide to run with a theme or specific look, start small.
Get a few pieces that bring the room together and slowly add to it. Not only will this save you money, but it will let you grow into your look.
You loved ponies and princesses growing up, but you wouldn’t want that room now. So manage your apartment decorations by taking the time to see what works.
Rushing into a store and blowing hundreds of dollars to match one picture you saw online is fine, but don’t freak out if it doesn’t look perfect.
Also, don’t think that everything you buy has to be new. Thrift stores are a great place to find different and one of a kind pieces that will make great additions to every look.
