It’s fun to get creative and decorate your apartment to really show off your personal style. As you pick out home decorations and begin the process of morphing your apartment into your own personal living space, consider all the possibilities that you can do with white walls. Sometimes landlords aren’t too keen on allowing apartment walls to be painted. Although it may be a letdown to be stuck with boring white walls, there are tons of ways to decorate and really showcase your style even if the walls have to stay white. Check out these great decorating ideas that can make any white wall really stand out from the rest.
Art and Posters
Artwork and posters are a great way to get your style and personality onto your apartment walls. The key is to pick pieces that mean something to you. This way you will not get bored with them after a few years or feel as if they’re outdated. The benefit of having white walls in your apartment is that you can use any color on your walls as accents and it will look fantastic. Whether you want a most subtle look or a really bold, colorful statement, a “blank” white canvas is a great starting point—there’s no need to think about matching wall colors with the art. Another fun way to spice up your walls is to incorporate wall stickers into your decorations. Peel and stick them anywhere you like, without having to worry about the paint coming off. The Wall Sticker Shop offers you a large variety of stickers to choose from including anything from flowers and trees to cartoons and sports teams. Have fun experimenting and trying different combinations.
Clocks and Cork Boards
More functional pieces such as a clock or a cork board can be jazzed up a bit to give your apartment a whole new look. Different features of a clock can create an eclectic piece for your place such as a funky color, over-sized numbers, or cool hands. Striking characteristics will really pop against a white background. And even adding a functional cork board or dry-erase board will make your life easier and give the apartment an additional layer of individual style. You can find cheap frames at thrift stores and add a cork background to give it your own personal touch or find fun pushpins to hold notes and pictures.
Tall Bookshelves
Having taller furniture in your apartment will cover up more space on the white walls as well as fill in floor space. You can find some great vintage-inspired dressers and bookshelves at thrift stores and furniture resale shops that have their own personality, have many drawers for storage, and cover up that white wall. Shop around and pick something based upon the measurements you would like to fill.
Drapery
Accenting your apartment with window treatments is an excellent way to make white walls stand out and bring a colorful feel to your home. Having fun designs and patterns will call attention to the windows and create a decorative piece for the space. Also, the length of the drapes should be considered. Longer curtains will be a bolder statement and shorter ones will have less impact on your apartment design. Look at Contempo Curtains to find some cute patterned drapes in any size. They also sell cute, eclectic wall accessories that are fun and affordable.
