Decorating an apartment on a budget can seem daunting, but with a little creativity, you will be amazed at the results. The following steps give females some fun and easy tips for turning their drab space into an inviting, feminine, and comfortable new home.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine your theme. Being on a budget, you are likely going to have a more "eclectic" mix of things and decorations that blend well together. Know what colors you like, match your walls, and what colors you do not like.

  2. Step 2

    Consider candles. Not only do candles provide subtle fragrance, but they add aesthetic compliment to your design. Feminine, warm, and great overall decorations, candles are staples in any female spaces. Candles come in all shapes, colors, and sizes; there is a candle combination out there for every woman. Additionally, seasonal candles can be used to change-up decor for holidays and special occasions, giving your apartment a versatile look.

  3. Step 3

    Buy or make decorative pillows. On your couch, on your chair, and even on the bed or floor, throw pillows and decorative pillows are a must in any apartment. Bringing color, style, and comfort to any room, pillows scream "home" and also serve as functional seats and seat cushions as well. Mix, match, and interchange to make your style your own.

  4. Step 4

    Frame photos. In frames, on stands, or even compiled together in wall collages, photographs are a great way of decorating that in a cost efficient manner. Even more, they bring to life the images of the people, places, and events that mean so much to you. Buy an assortment of frames to decorate shelves and tables. Also, try the new photo clips to create unique and modern displays.

  5. Step 5

    Add fresh flowers. Bring on the sights and smells of a beautiful garden--indoors! Fresh flowers bring the outdoors into your apartment year round. The look and feel of these bright decorations keeps your space feeling "fresh" year round...Even in those snowy winter months. Place a vase on your nightstand, coffee table, and in the center of your dining room table. They are also great in bathrooms, overpowering odors from drains and toilets.
