· Clean
your home. It's usually the single best way to improve your environment,
and it costs nothing. Plus, even a new sofa won't fix a dirty house.
· Get
rid of something. It's free and free-ing. The bonus? Helping your apartment
lose weight is a lot easier than dieting.
· Lay
off the shelter porn. Just as ads make it seem like everyone's a beautiful
underweight 21-year-old, shelter mags and blogs (yes, us too) often feature
beautiful homes that can make your own space seem like it doesn't measure up.
Work on learning to love your home for what it is.
· Paint.
Nothing perks up a room like a fresh coat of paint, and the
right color can offset things you already own, elevating your whole
apartment to a new level.
· Rearrange
your furniture. It's a really effective way to change your outlook on your
home, it's free, and it gives you a good workout.
· Upgrade
something. This doesn't necessarily mean you need to buy something new -
you can revive
an old piece of furniture with a coat of paint, reupholster
a chair, or make a slipcover for
something.
