Interior Design Ideas You Need to Try in Your Apartment This Winter

If you love apartment life but you're not sure how to decorate your space for winter, you're not alone. It's tough to figure out how to decorate for the season when you don't have a ton of storage space or much license to make changes to your living space. If you want to learn how to create a cozy winter wonderland in your apartment this season, here are a few tips to help you out.

Hang Some Decorative Lights

Strings of twinkling lights are the perfect display of winter cheer. And it's relatively easy to place them in your apartment without damaging any of the walls or other fixtures, too. For instance, if you want to line an archway in your apartment with twinkling lights, all you'll need is a step stool and a few good stick-on wall hooks. These hooks don't require any drilling or hammering, so you can rest easy knowing that your security deposit will still be coming your way. And if you're feeling really festive, you could even invest in lights that blink or lights in colors that complement the rest of your decor. Just make sure that if you're one of the 38% of people who own a dog that you hang your lights out of their reach! Regardless of what color you choose, lights are an excellent way to bring some cozy winter vibes into your apartment.

Add Some New Throw Pillows

Throw pillows are an excellent way to add color and texture to your living space. And the best part? You can have as many as you want and your landlord can't tell you otherwise. If you're really short on space, it's possible to switch out your throw pillow covers instead of purchasing additional throw pillows to add to your collection. And since 44% of people use the internet to look for homes and home goods, a simple search online should help you find what you're looking for. If you're not sure what kinds of throw pillows will help you create a cozy feeling in your place, consider things like color and texture. A big, fuzzy throw pillow might look great paired with a smaller patterned pillow or a pillow with some nice texture on it. The key is to group your pillows together in a way that creates a variety of textures and colors that complement each other.

Invest in Some Decorative Candles

If you, like most Americans, move every five to seven years, it's likely that you don't have a lot of accessories to place around your home. But there's nothing wrong with picking up a few things here and there! Decorative candles and candle holders are a timeless piece of decor that can help any space feel cozy and luxurious during the holiday season. And one of the best things about these decorative candles is that they're typically not meant to be burned, which means no fire hazards for you. If you're feeling really creative, you can even purchase some candle-making equipment and create your own decorative candles. This way, you can make sure your candles are perfectly suited to your holiday style.

Decorating for the holidays is an awesome way to express yourself and make your space truly feel like your own. And even with a rented apartment, you can create a cozy winter wonderland.
