How to Decorate for an Apartment with Limitations

Like most of you out there, I live in an apartment. I have certain restrictions that I have to follow. Any walls I paint have to be painted back or I can pay a fine. I can't attach any permanent items to my cupboards. I can't paint my cupboards. I can't re-tile my bathroom floor. I have to live with what I agreed to.... Or do I?

Hate the nasty beige carpet in your apartment? Buy an over sized rug and no more beige carpet!

You don't have to hide everything in your cupboards. Show it for the world to see. This kitchen is so cute because it shows off everything.

A great way to add drama and section off your "bedroom" is with curtains. It is also a great way to section off the different rooms.

If you have some room above your bed that you don't know what to do with, add a shelf. Its a great way to decorate and use pictures. Or you can use it instead of a nightstand.

If you have inset shelves, make them come alive with a little color! You can always use contact paper if you can't paint.

Mirrors are a girls best friend. When placed in a strategic location, such as opposite a window, it can make room look larger.

If you have room, put in some bookshelves and then hide your odds and ends with baskets or boxes. Don't forget to label them though or you might forget what you have in there!

If you are restricted on how many nails you can put into a wall, think about adding shelves instead. You will use less holes than hanging up a picture collage, and it is easier to change out your decorations. Command Hooks are also a great solution for this problem as well.

If you have an exposed sink, cover it with a curtain! Then you can hide more bathroom goodies behind it.

Can't paint in your apartment? Brighten your bathroom with this color palette. Having a blah bathroom doesn't mean it always has to be blah.

And thats my advice folks. I can't wait to implement some of this in my own apartment. Have a great day!
