We thought to create a post for you to share some tips to making your home a little more special and unique. It’s the most important thing that you feel comfortable in your apartment because you are spending a lot of time in your accommodation. You will find the A – I Tips in Part 1.

J is for jewellery

We don’t mean the jewelry you wear around your neck. We mean the hardware, the jewellery for your home. Don’t ignore the detail that the right hardware can bring to a space. A chest of drawers, cupboards or your bathroom sink can all be elevated by the right choice of hardware.

K is for keepsake

A great way to bring more personality to your space is using mementos and displaying these things with pride. These are the items that have a history and may be a link to your past of a vacation.

L is for low shelves

When bookshelves do not occupy entire walls, a room seems more generous and lighter. Deep shelves also provide storage space for living accessories, pictures, lights and mirrors. When they are placed above the corner, like shelves they provide a lot of comfort and look very comfortable.

M is for mirrors

Mirror, mirror, on the wall: Warm up a room with mirrors. When hanging mirrors, think carefully about what they’ll will reflect. Maybe you would like to pick up a great scene, like the TV in this picture.  Create space with the right mirror placement. To create the illusion of more space, mount a mirror opposite a window to bounce light. The use of mirrors can give the illusion of more space and increase light in darker areas.

N is for natural Light

When designing your lighting plan, first think about how much natural light you have. Take into consideration any focal points that you want to pick out such as art works or dining tables, then combine a mixture of floor lamps, table lamps and candles to create a flexible and inviting lighting plan. Maximize whatever natural light you have in a space by hanging your curtains high and wide so that they can be pulled back to let the light shine in.

O is for occasion

Don’t forget to have space to store decorations for special occasions.

P is for pillows

To spice up your couch or your bed, place a few pillows in matching colors. The colors and size of the pillows should be in balanced design.

Q is for quotes

When your space is piled with clutter or doesn’t reflect your personality, it can be hard to feel truly at home. You could frame your favorite quote and put it in the office or maybe on your desk. This will give you motivation.

R is for Result

We know it’s not easy to achieve all the ideas that are in your mind but we are sure you can manage it. Always have the goal and the result in your mind that will give you a lot of energy during the long procedure.

S is for surprises

Wedding decoration on bed

We all know the pictures from the fantastic hotels but who says that you can’t have a bed like this. Think about to surprise your partner with a scene like this. It’s not that difficult as it looks to create.

T is for think outside the box

Here’s your chance to get really creative with your “collected” home, using some items in ways other than what might have been intended for them. Don’t be scared to try out some of your ideas that are in your mind. Sometimes the best results come from knowing what doesn’t work. Learning from your own design mistakes will make you much better in understanding what you love and in which way you want to live.

U is for unique

Beautiful furniture is often not enough to create a unique apartment where you feel comfortable and are proud to show your family and friends. How you place, combine and decorate them will give your apartment a unique still of living.

V is for vitrine

Things that are stored behind glass seem to be more, attractive and exclusive and tidy. Use this effect and place things that mean a lot to you in a vitrine instead of a cupboard. It will also give to a good feeling when you pass by.

W is for „wow effect“

You know those people who seem to have great taste without even trying? You are about to be one of them.

X is for Experiment

It was not easy to find a word with x but we are sure this word will help you when you think of designing your home. Don’t be afraid to experiment to find out what works well in a space. Move furniture around to see if it’s better placed somewhere else in your home, swap your curtains, rugs, cushions and accessories from one room to another.

Y is for “you decide”

It´s nice to get advice from your friends, your family or an interior designer but at the end of the day you are  the one who will live in the apartment so don’t be afraid to say your opinion give suggestions. You have to feel comfortable and should look forward to come home after holidays or work. Trends can be fun but they are quickly replaced so figure out what you really love and surround yourself with those things.

Z is for Zone

You will spend a lot of time in home so make sure it’s designed the way you like it.

Hopefully there are some design ideas for you in particular that can bring the cozy factor into your home like no other. We hope you will enjoy and be able to put your ideas into practice.
