One of the most liberating things about moving out is having the freedom to curate your space as you want. Even if it’s small, you can personalize it and treat it as your first step into the “actual” adult life!

In this blog, we feature ways you can customize your living space with the creative styles and expressions that speak to you the most. Happy curating!

1. Set the Tone

Take control of your life and your walls. Brainstorm on what aesthetic you want your place to reflect. Whether you want to go for a soothing and minimalist tone or a funky retro vibe, you’re calling the shots here!

This will help you decide what color you want to paint the walls–beige, sage, or bright fuchsia, or would you rather just get wallpapers and call it a day?

2. Furniture

One of the basic requirements of setting a space, there’s so many diverse options and varieties of furniture for you to choose from. It’s important that you browse extensively before buying, as investing in durable furniture is better, rather than fishing out money every few months for repairs.

Wood is a sustainable option for the base material for your furniture, while metal is a good option too. If you’re conscious about your carbon footprint, you may want to skip out on any plastic items like chairs and stools.

Durable furniture fabric options include synthetic microfibers, cotton, and linen woven coverings for furniture.

3. Home Textiles

Items like cushions, bedsheets, duvet covers, etc., may be non-urgent products, but you’ll eventually need them to accessorize your space as you get settled in.

A great way to add pops of color to a minimalist aesthetic would be to add bright-colored cushions on the couch or a customized artwork piece that contrasts with the tone but still speaks your style.

4. Flora

If you’re someone who enjoys having houseplants, you might’ve considered turning your apartment into a mini greenhouse. While houseplants are therapeutic, it’s important to plan out proper spaces for them around your living quarters.

You can add them in the corners where sunlight streams through the windows, your kitchen window sill, on the coffee table, and in similar spots.

5. Artwork

You could put up anything on the walls, fromcliché (yet significant) items and framed pictures with family and friends to single custom art piece. You can also buy framed print artwork online.
