A Definitive Guideline for Decorating Newly Built Apartment

A newly built apartment is a perfect blank canvas that allows you to create a home that truly depicts you, your lifestyle, and your personality. So, if you get the opportunity, it is time to decorate your apartment and make it home. You are not inheriting anyone’s taste that is good but where to start is sometimes difficult to answer.

You have to select everything if you are decorating your apartment from scratch. You need to select the paint, colors, furniture, accessories, tiles, lights, almost everything. You can check the reviews of different products and different companies before spending an amount on these things. You also need to check what is trending and what will go with your design. For example, ceiling square tiles are a staple of modern architecture.

We have a definitive guideline that will help you in decorating your new apartment.

Find Your Style

The first thing you need to do is to find your style or how you want your home to look? Consider the atmosphere you want and décor that will make you feel comfortable. You can collect textures, materials, and images of what you want in your home and paste them or make a mood board. So, you can refer back to those designs and materials as the project progress.

Instagram, magazines, and Pinterest are good sources of inspiration but be realistic while selecting. You need to consider your space, weather, number of people, and many other things.

Textures and Colors that Works

Once you have decided on the style or theme, it is time to choose the paint colors and wallpapers. But we don’t recommend you to invest much in painting and wallpapers during the first 12 months although it can be tempting. Because your apartment will be drying out and setting from the construction process. So, you can spend this time finding the right colors for every place.

When it is the right time to pick up a paintbrush, apply the test patch first. Because some shades may look different depending on the room’s direction.

Choose the Furniture and Layout

You won’t be having any preconceived ideas from the previous occupant for furniture arrangement, so you have the opportunity to create your own layout. You can arrange furniture that works for your needs. You can start by thinking of the purpose of each place and activities that take place in each area before choosing furniture.

Your friends' circle (if you invite them to your place a lot), family, and your routine also needs to be considered before deciding on the layout. Once you have decided, you can create a floor plan for each room on paper or an app. Avoid over-filling your home and leave space to move around freely.

Choose the Right Lighting

Lighting has a huge impact on the appearance of your home. Moreover, lighting can make or break an interior design scheme. Usually, lighting is divide into three categories: ambient lighting, focused task lighting, and accent lighting. All the lightings are used for different purposes and you need all these types of lighting in your home.

For example, you may need focused task lighting in your study room. You can also choose whether you want downlights or pendant lights. You can also add a table lamp and floor lamp to complement the built-in lighting.

Add Texture and Colors With Accessories

After selecting theme, furniture, paint, and lighting, you have created a home that is cozy and comfortable. But always remember the importance of smaller touches such as vases, window dressings, furnishes, and artwork. They help in setting a tone of the space.

Moreover, they are a good way to add texture and color to your space if you haven’t painted your home yet. Just keep the finished look you want in your mind while choosing anything.
