Finishing Touches for Your Apartment

Decorating your apartment is a fun and personal experience that allows you to create the perfect living space based on your unique style. However, the perfect finishing touch to tie the entire room together can sometimes be elusive. Knowing the basic elements that every room should include can help you create a more comfortable and functional living space in every room of your San Diego apartment.

Colorful Accessories
Rooms that are too monochromatic—especially those that are white or beige—may lack light and life without a little color. You can add small pops of color quickly and easily by choosing colorful accessories such as lamps, statuettes, rugs, throw pillows, and plants. Alternatively, you can go bigger by adding curtains or artwork to your space. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your choices when it comes to color, select two to three shades you like and stick to accessories in these colors to avoid color chaos and confusion. Keep in mind that you don’t need to add a lot of color to a room to make it feel more vibrant and inviting—even a few accessories in a single color will completely transform the feel of your space.

Texture
Adding texture to a room is a simple step that could be the finishing touch you’re looking for. There are many ways to add texture to your apartment space, from wicker baskets to a soft, woven throw over the arm of your couch or at the end of your bed. Baskets are a popular way to add texture because they also add storage space; choose lidded or covered baskets if you prefer to keep items stored out of sight. Layering linens in the bathroom or bedroom will make these spaces feel cozier and more inviting every time you step into the room. Other ways to add texture include wall tapestries or three-dimensional art and sculptures, fabric or rattan placements in the kitchen, and textured furniture if you’re already looking to add a new piece or two to your home.

Books
Books are a versatile and personalized accessory that can improve any room in your apartment. Choose books that reflect the atmosphere and color scheme of each room to find the perfect finishing touch to your overall decorating scheme. You can even use books as a functional element to elevate accessories when creating visual vignettes. Scattering books throughout your apartment also reduces the number of bookshelves you’ll need to store them, which can help you keep your apartment from feeling too cluttered with furniture.
