Read on for 4 quick fixes to make your Louis-McChord apartment feel more like a home. <\/span><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n \n\t\t\tPaint. The color of a room can change its whole ambiance. Typically, landlords don’t want you painting the walls, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of options. There are alternatives to permanent paint, like temporary “wallpaper,” which can be done using fabric and liquid starch. The process is fairly simple, and can be done in a day. Also, if done right, there should be little to no damage to the area, meaning no repainting necessary. Check out <\/span>this tutorial<\/span><\/a> for tips on how to do so. Also, look at this <\/span>after image<\/span><\/a> for proof of minimal damage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \n\t\t\tDe-clutter.

Start by piling up all the items that you want to clear out. Before throwing them out, think about if someone else could benefit from them. If so, find a Goodwill or your <\/span>local AMVETS<\/span><\/a> to donate. And remember, this doesn’t have to be a boring laborious process. Ask a friend to help in exchange for a meal or a couple beers. Crank up the tunes and declutter! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \n\t\t\tRearrange your space. Have you ever moved a chair to a different corner of the room or even added a rug to a room and noticed how big of a change it makes? If not, try! Start by moving a coffee table into a different area of the room or even positioning it a different angle. If you hate it, you can move it back just as easily as you moved it in the first place. For a more drastic change, move couches around. Get creative!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \n\t\t\tDecorate. Little details like art work on the walls or plants can spruce up a space instantly. Adding a plant to your bedside table or kitchen counter and create a more inviting space with a much more inviting vibe. Hanging artwork on walls can also add color and character a space. This can be kept at low cost as well by using wine corks as wall decoration or making your own painting to hang on the wall.
