Decorate Your LA Apartment With These Quirky Room-By-Room Ideas

Whether you’re renting your first home or your third, you may be in a fix about how to decorate it. If you’re interested in quirky decor, the following are some amazing room-by-room ideas that will convert your LA apartment into a warm, cozy space you enjoy being in.

Add Indoor Plants to Your Living Room

Indoor plants are the perfect way to add some green to your home, especially if you’re renting an apartment. This is because they’re mobile enough to be moved from one room to another or be packed up and moved to a new place altogether if you relocate. There are many varieties of plants you can choose from, with different qualities, colors, sizes, and requirements. Although food crops must compete with around 10,000 species of insects that eat plants, you can try your hand at growing edible herbs and more. Choose plants that will thrive indoors and get insect traps to keep them growing beautifully.

Build a Bookshelf for Your Hallway

Books add character to any space they’re in, and so building a bookshelf for your hallway will breathe new life to it in a sophisticated and low-effort way. Look for quality wood or any other sustainable material and have a professional woodworker turn it into a bookshelf that fits your specifications. You can also try your hand at building an easy and minimal bookshelf that will work with the overall color scheme of your entire house. Since you can take it down when you move, a bookshelf is a great addition to the apartment you’re renting.

Create a Mug Wall In Your Kitchen

If you’re a coffee-lover, seeing your favorite mugs decked out on a wall in your kitchen will constantly warm your heart. Even if you’re not a coffee and tea person by nature, you will not be able to resist the aesthetic allure of pretty mugs. Many people enjoy the occasional cup of tea or coffee, given the fact that 80% of guests will accept it if you offer it to them. They will also appreciate the gorgeous decor of a wall of mugs, and you might inspire them to recreate the idea in their own kitchens. When you host some friends or have an event in your apartment, you can be sure that your mug wall will inspire its fair share of conversations.

Design a Photo Wall for Your Bedroom

Living in this digital age where photos are taken in practically any situation, everyone no doubt has a large stock of photos that are memorable and meaningful to them. You can look for inspiration online to get ideas for designing a photo wall; then, select your favorite photos and have them printed out so you can put them up. If you don’t want to have to choose, you can simply print out all your favorite photos and rotate them every now and then, getting an amazing photo wall that you can change as often as you like.

Turn Your Bathroom Into a Spa

Finally, we can all agree that the past two years have been a rough ride, even for the strongest ones among us. To give you the ability to relax after an exceptionally long day, you can turn your bathroom into a spa. If your apartment is one of the nearly 27% of bathrooms made with a traditional design aesthetic, you can look for decor and appliances that will complement it and enable you to have a spa day right in your house any time you want.

The five ideas above should help you decorate your apartment in a unique way and create a space that is truly yours. Start working on them as soon as you can so that you have more time to enjoy them!
