We’ve all seen it before – countless apartments with countless white, bland, boring walls that do nothing to differentiate it from any other apartment. It’s certainly one thing if you’re not allowed to redecorate or repaint walls, but if you can then you’re missing out on creating tremendous beauty if you stick to the same boring palate that everyone else does!
Painted walls will help your mental state
Not only will you feel better because you’re going to be living in a place that is way more in tune with your personality, but different coloured walls have a direct effect on emotional wellbeing. Colours can affect your mood directly, so you can play with this to get the desired effects on your home. Want to add a bit more energy to a room? Try red! Want to relax and create a more meditative space? Paint it blue!
It’s more interesting for guests
Most walls you’ll encounter are invariably white or beige and have all the personality of a hard-boiled egg. By adding some flair to your home, you’ll not only stick out like a beautiful flower on a lawn, but you’ll impress everyone else that comes to visit!
It allows you to express yourself
One of the most important reasons to do anything! By adding your personal touch to your home, you make it more of an expression of yourself than ever before, allowing you to be much more comfortable in your own living space. Be creative and let that creativity affect everything around you and you’ll be much more grateful for your home! Do it with throw pillows, blankets, a bright area rug, or accents like lamp bases, picture frames, shelves or planters.
It lets you take pride in your work
The more we work on something, the more we care for it and apartments are no different. If you fully customize your apartment from top to bottom, you’ll be invested and not only will you care more for it in the future, but you’ll feel much happier while simply living in it. It’s important that we connect to things that matter to us and your living space is one of the most important things for you – you live there every day!
Personalization is a very important aspect of being comfortable in your own home, so get off the couch and head on down to the hardware store and look for some paint swatches – you never know what you can get done until you do it!
