Easy to Implement Apartment Upgrades

Upgrading your apartment doesn’t require you to roam the aisles of Home Deport or binge-watch HDTV. All sorts of easy-to-implement improvements can help you spiffy your space right up! To make your home more homey, consider the following:

Go Bright and Bold

Adding bold colors to your apartment infuses vibrancy and life. Consider investing in brightly-colored artwork. 

Use Pillows and Throw Cushions

Pillows and throw cushions fill a space with coziness while enhancing everyday comfort. There can be too much of a good thing, however. If your living room looks like a pillow factory, you might want to downgrade your down feathers. 

Install Drapes

Drapes are another way to bring color to your space while tapping into their practical features. Your bedroom is the prime spot to cue the curtains, especially if you have trouble sleeping after sunrise. There are all sorts of blackout curtains designed to keep things dark no matter how bright the sky becomes. 

Lighten Things Up

Changing your lighting with lamps, LED candles, and plug-in sconces can significantly improve your space and mood. Warm lighting elicits coziness and sociability, while cool lighting enhances focus and concentration.  

Cut Out Clutter

A clutter-free home improves physical and mental health by tapping into your ability to move and think. Keeping your home organized and chaos-free leads to more efficient thinking, better visual processing, improved well-being, reduced stress, and more motivation to eat healthy.


There are many ways to upgrade your apartment and make it yours, from colors to lights. Try one of the above tips to make your sweet home much sweeter.
