First, a few coats of paint can go a long way. Painting a room new colors will make a huge difference. Painting the ceiling is also a great way to improve the way a room looks. Try painting three wall one color, while painting the biggest wall a different color. For instance, paint three walls red and one white… or three of them dark green and one dark red. The ceiling usually looks better if you paint it white, or white tinted with a little green or red.

Second, make some new curtains out of fabric. There is no need to buy new, expensive curtains… make beautiful curtains out of fabric, or even out of bed sheets! You can add ruffles, lace, or anything you want… while at the same time saving money.

This will make your apartment smell good and new, will get rid of lingering smells, and will make it feel brand new! Any of these ideas will liven up your living space, so try them all!
