Residents of rented apartments do not always feel cozy and comfortable in them.

To fix the situation and feel at home, it is not necessary to re-glue the wallpaper and stretch the ceiling, says the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino. Instead, the specialist advises to buy inexpensive decor, thanks to which it will be possible to make the home cozy.

Textile

Buy pillows, curtains, carpets and blankets for your new apartment, or you can simply move them here from your previous apartment. Such details change the decor beyond recognition, make the rooms warm and cozy, and are inexpensive.

Lighting

Most often, the main source of light in the room is a chandelier hanging in the center of the ceiling. To add coziness and variety, install additional lamps - they will help make the room closer and more familiar.

A good choice would be lamps and floor lamps, which will help to create an atmosphere and divide the space into zones. They can be of different shapes and sizes, placed on the floor, walls or tables, the main thing is that they are in harmony with the interior.

Baskets

It doesn't matter whether you own the apartment you live in or you rent it - in any case, you will have to take care of organizing your personal belongings. Baskets - wicker or metal - will help you with this.

If you share your home with neighbors, choose containers of different sizes and colors - this way you will definitely not confuse them, and for greater confidence you can put your names on the baskets.

Glass jars

Glass jars are a stylish interior element. In the kitchen, they can be used to store food, utensils, and other things, and if you decorate them beautifully, you can even leave them on open shelves. In the living room, glass jars can take on the role of a vase for flowers or dry branches. You can also fill the jars with coffee and thus create home fragrances.

Photos, paintings, posters

The walls in a rented apartment often leave much to be desired. You can hide the room's shortcomings by hanging a painting, poster or photograph. These elements will also bring coziness to the room and create a homely atmosphere.
