Tips for Single Men on Apartment Decorating

Design Tip 1: Make a wall that draws attention.

Tips for decorating an apartment for a single man start with an accent wall. When you walk into a room, a wall that stands out will grab your attention. This works especially well in a small apartment's living room, where a messy coffee table with last night's pizza or clothes that didn't make it to the laundry basket are common sights.

What exactly is a wall that stands out? It's one wall in a room that has a mural or a different colour than the rest. It could also be mirrored or covered with wallpaper. As long as it stands out from the other walls in the room, it's an accent.

A word of caution: if you want to paint the walls in your apartment a different colour than what they are now, you should talk to your landlord about your options or any lease restrictions.

Tip 2: Choose furniture that saves space

There is never enough room in an apartment. Shop for sectional furniture to make the most of this small living space. Sectionals don't leave empty space between the pieces like the typical arrangement of a couch, two easy chairs, and an end table, which leaves gaps between the pieces.

There are different kinds of sectional sofas that can be put together in different ways to fit any size room. Work with a L or U shape based on what the room is used for. If you choose lights that fit easily behind the sectional, you won't need any end tables.

Can't fit a big coffee table in your living room? Choose two smaller cube-shaped ottomans with storage that can be taken apart and used as extra seats or cocktail trays. These are very versatile and make the room as comfortable as possible. Call us for Affordable Interior Designers in Gurgaon.

Tip 3: Stick to a single theme

Choose one main idea and stick with it. Choose pictures and accents that fit the theme, whether it's a trip to Europe, beautiful women, or a sport. Don't be tempted to put together a bunch of different things. This will confuse the room and make it feel more like chaos than comfort.

Use your imagination with the theme you choose. Don't just look at certain paintings or photographs. Find out what your theme's colour, motion, and "energy" are. Let's take the theme of a basketball team as an example. Choose accent colours that match the team's uniforms and use them in pillows, an area rug, or the paint on the walls. Make a wall mural with big numbers (at least 4') that represent your favourite players. You can be quiet or loud. It's up to you.

Design Tip 4: Live Smarter

The last tip for decorating an apartment for a single man is more practical. Hire a woman to clean! The $45 to $125 a week it will cost to have someone clean your apartment once or twice a month will be more than worth it. Plan to clean while you are at work. After a long day at work, it's always nice to come home to a clean apartment.

Even though this article is about the living room, these four tips can be used in any room. Call us for Affordable Interior Designers in Gurgaon.
