Are you new graduate or young professional just settling into your first apartment? Now that you are no longer confined by drab dorm room walls and are on your way to your professional career, you should be taking advantage of this opportunity to define your space. Get rid of the mini fridge and dilapidated furniture, and follow some of these helpful tips for making your new place a young professional's apartment masterpiece.
- Invest in a good mattress: You are no longer required to sleep on old, uncomfortable twin mattresses, so make sure to invest in a high quality mattress to ensure yourself a good night's sleep you have been missing out on all this time.
- Begin simple and then expand: Start with neutral colored furniture that you will be able to use for years to come and then add in splashes of color through brightly designed area rugs, pillows, interesting artwork, or unique lighting. As you grow, so does your design sense, so try to make sure that your large furniture pieces will not clash with any design scheme you dream up in the future.
- Quality over quantity: Now that you're starting a new career you should be conscious of how and where you spend your hard-earned money. Fight the urge to go out and furnish your entire apartment at one time. Instead plan your space accordingly and decide what pieces of furniture you'll use most and which current pieces you really need to replace then focus on buying higher quality pieces that will last. You're not in college anymore, after all.
