Dress up your L.A. rental in unique style

No one wants to spend money on a rental home. Obviously they won’t cut back on your rent if you enhance the looks of your apartment, but it will surely make you feel more at home if you add a touch of yourself to the place. There are a variety of budget-friendly ways to revamp your L.A. quarters like applying wallpaper, re-painting old furniture pieces or upgrading window treatments.

Create your own cozy nook by re-upholstering your daybed and throwing in colorful pillows for a plus of energy and playfulness. Make sure you use every inch of available space and get creative when it comes to slanted ceilings.

Spaces under the stairs for instance can be made totally functional with a touch of imagination. By placing a few shelves there you can find shelter for your books, rest your favorite collection of minerals and rocks or use it to store paraphernalia. Anyone could use some extra space in their quarters.

Collections are a great way to make a statement, especially if you find the right manner to display your treasure. A hats collection can turn a drab hallway into a chic space, infused with personality and poise.

Introduce personal elements into your home design, pieces that have an emotional impact on your spirit or things you think could positively affect your state of mind just by being there. Dress up your walls in artwork you fancy, or create a memory wall where you can assemble a collage of framed prints or photographs you hold dear. Picture frames are extremely expressive and can add class and sophistication to any room.

Using mirrors will have a double effect on your home décor, serving both a decorative purpose and ingeniously giving the impression of space.

As to where to find these inexpensive solutions, it’s easy: hunt for conventional department store sales, check out flea markets or online bargains. Featuring a deep sense of style and beauty and a clear passion for design, 45 Three is an excellent place to shop for unique decorations, antiques, art, lighting, and accessories which additionally offers a variety of custom services including custom upholstery, drapery, and pillows.
