Just because you live in an apartment, doesn't mean it can't feel like a home. A few simple updates may turn your apartment into a warm and comfortable space that you love coming home to.

Don't hesitate to ask the landlord what you are allowed to do with the space. You may be able to add paint to freshen up the look of the space. Hanging several sets of drapes along a wall is a great way to give your walls additional personality.

Not able to paint the walls in your apartment, why not add color with window treatments instead? It is a great way to not only dress up your windows, but make a room feel more inviting.


Adding a window treatment with soft curves will open up a cramped kitchen space.


If you have a large picture window and you are looking for privacy, using ceiling mounted drapery is a great way get the coverage you need. Add lining to absorb noise and insulate against heat and cold. You can tie back the drapes during the day to create an elegant, decorative look.
