What can you do to help decorate your place so that when you have friends over it doesn’t feel like a unit but a home? Here are several decorating tips to help turn Chico rental properties into chic sanctuaries where everybody will enjoy spending time and relaxing.
A great way to hide boring walls that are normally a shade of white is to create a gallery display. Use artwork, pictures in frames and floating shelves to give a focal point for the eye to be drawn to. Only choose one wall in your apartment to have the gallery -- this will prevent your walls from looking cluttered.
White mini blinds are great when you're trying to keep your privacy and the sun out, but they don’t lend a hand to decorating. To bring dimension to blinds and small windows, dress them up with curtains and drapes.
Apartment lighting doesn’t always bring the best out of a room in Chico rental properties. This is why adding additional lighting is great for any room. Choosing a tall or short lamp can not only bring mood lighting to the space but can also add a pop of color or fun design. Between the different types of finishes, lamp shades, bulb color and bulb wattage, the options are endless!
Transform your seating into a piece of decoration with pillows. Lounging doesn’t have to be boring. Adding pillows to your seating (couch, recliner, etc.) that are in various sizes, shapes, colors and patterns can give new life to your furniture.
If you find that you have surfaces that are bare, add a few tchotchkes and trinkets to give character and personalize your space. You don’t want to go overboard with these so be tasteful with what you choose and remember that you can make a space look cluttered and disorganized if you aren’t careful.
