Moving into your first apartment is an exciting experience, but it can be pretty overwhelming. After all, where do you begin to buy furniture or decorate? How will you set everything up? How much space do you have? These 10 IKEA hacks are a great place to start. With these products you’ll be able to turn your apartment into a home, without giving up functionality.
If your new apartment doesn’t have much closet space, you can use a rack to hang extra clothes. Because clothes racks are sleek and trendy, you can work it into the design of your room—no need to hide it away in storage.
Carts make great bedside storage. Pick a fun color and add some books and other small decorations to make it more chic.
A large, patterned rug can help tie a kitchen or living room together. You may have to splurge on this one, but a good rug is the perfect finishing piece to any room.
Floor lamps are great for dark apartments. Instead of replacing all the light bulbs with higher watt bulbs (and increasing your electric bill), opt for a floor lamp; they’re bright and trendy.
Leave the shelves open for visible storage or add insert boxes to hide clutter.
Brighten up any couch or arm chair by adding cushion (pillow) covers to your throw pillows. You can buy a few covers and switch them out to give your room a fresh feel every few months.
Great for the bathroom! Now your lighting and mirror can be all in one. This product is great for those who like the look of modern décor.
This product is a life saver for apartments that don’t have dishwashers. Mount the dish drainer to the wall if you want to save counter space.
A picture ledge is a great way to display frames at an ideal angle. Plus, it’s shallow and saves space unlike traditionally bulky shelves.
Not only are loveseats the perfect size for a small living room, but these ones have a removable cover that can be washed—say hello to keeping your sofa cleaner and fresher than ever.
