If you’re dreaming of a new look for your apartment, you’ve likely spent more hours than you’d care to admit perusing Pinterest and drooling over the incredibly put-together apartments you see there. How can you achieve a similar look in your own place on a fraction of the budget? One 51 Place is here to help! We have a number of great ideas on how to decorate your apartment on a budget:

Designate a Color Scheme

If you take a good look at the elements that really make those gorgeous apartments stand apart, you’ll notice one thing: They usually stick to one color scheme. This is easy to achieve, even on a budget—simply stick to your preferred colors for your new furniture, wall art, and bedding, and your apartment will look more cohesive than ever.

Make Your Own Art

Even if you don’t consider yourself particularly artistic, you can still make some beautiful, simple art for your walls! A lot of modern art features simple lines and minimal colors, which is easy to achieve even as a beginner. Try your hand at painting one day; you might surprise yourself and love your new creation so much, you’ll decide it deserves a place on the mantle!

Consider Throw Rugs

As a renter, there’s not much you can do about unfortunate flooring—or is there? Scratched-up wood floors and stained carpeting can easily be covered by throw rugs. In fact, layered rugs are trending right now in home design, so hop on the bandwagon if you’re ready for a change beneath your feet.
