How to Modernly Decorate your Apartment or Small Space in 3 Simple Steps with Discount Pieces

1. Use Wall Space and Choose Large Dramatic Wall Art

Choose large wall hangings and wall art that set the tone or theme of the room on their own. Don’t go overboard with lots of pictures and hanging pieces because clutter never compliments small spaces. If you rent your apartment, you may have thrown out the idea of decorating the walls because you don’t want to damage them with holes and paint. Not so fast. Damage-free hangers like Command Strips are easy to use and remove for wall hangings up to 5 pounds. Also, wall decals are an awesome alternative to painting apartment walls. Decorative wall decals are basically wall stickers usually made of vinyl with a damage-free adhesive backing that allows you to remove and reuse the decal so you don’t have to worry about messing up when you place them. Find a large wall decal that fits the style you want your apartment décor to follow and you’ll have a modern, professional-looking mural for an accent wall.

2. Create a Large Illusion with Mirrors

Strategically chosen and displayed mirrors never fail at making a room look bigger and brighter, so they are essential to your small space/apartment decor.

Avoid damage to your walls by leaning a full length mirror against the wall or using mirror decals with paint-friendly adhesive backings.

3. Choose Accent Color(s) and Incorporate Accent Color Pieces

 With your main focal piece in play, it's time to find some decorative pieces that compliment your art and overall design. Choose one or two accent colors to bring pops of color into your space. If you need help choosing accent colors, this guide will help:
