Moving into an apartment can be stressful, especially if it is your first one. Once the excitement fades, you’re left with the challenge of decorating this new place. We have some inexpensive decorating ideas, so you can personalize your Winnipeg apartment and make it feel like home.
Wall Photos
An easy and inexpensive way to decorate and personalize your apartment is with your own photos. Simply print them, or have them printed. You don’t even need to shell out for frames. With a little poster putty and a creative eye, you can arrange your photos according to your personal style. Poster Putty (or off brand alternative) is available at Walmart, 1225 St. Mary’s Road, Winnipeg (about 5 minute bike ride from Arden Hollows, 15 Arden Avenue, Winnipeg).
Create a Creative End Table
You can use modular storage units placed at staggered levels, side by side, to create a stepped side table for storage and display. Or you can set your drink down on it. Do what you want, it’s your table.
Light up a Jar
An easy way to create mood lighting, and spark a conversation is to put a string of Christmas lights into a large, empty jar or jug. This super inexpensive lamp will add a whimsical touch of style to any end or bedside table (see above).
Make Your Own Artwork
You don’t have to be a skilled painter to place canvases you painted yourself on your walls. You can simply cover a canvas or two completely with wall paint. Hang them for splashes of colour wherever you want them -- without having to paint a whole wall. Amazon sells pre-stretched canvases starting at under $10.
Decorating doesn’t have to be expensive. With just a little time, and even less money, you can make your Winnipeg rental apartment feel like home!
