When looking for places to rent, moving into an apartment complex may be the right choice based on location, amenities, and your monthly budget. As you begin the moving process, here are a few ways to ensure your apartment feels like a home. 

4 Tips for Turning Your Apartment Into a Home

1. Cleanse & Clean

Before you arrive with your moving truck, take a few hours to give your new living spaces a deep clean. By mopping floors, vacuuming, wiping down blinds, and giving the bathroom a good scrub, you’ll enjoy a fresh start. Plus, the process will help you get to know the layout and any quirks your space may have. 

2. Settle In

When you decide to rent as opposed to buying, it’s tempting to look at the space as temporary. This feeling of impermanence can make your apartment feel less inviting and home-like. To ensure you feel as though the place is truly yours, try to really settle in. Unpack all of your belongings, invest in furniture pieces you love, and don’t forget to hang artwork 

3. Display Sentimental Items

Once you’ve unpacked your clothing and set up each room with furniture, focus on incorporating sentimental items that are unique to you and your family. Framed photos, heirloom pieces, and little knick-knacks will make your apartment look and feel warm and inviting.  

4. Stay Organized

Clutter and lack of storage space can deter you from spending quality time in your apartment. Focus on creative storage solutions and functional furniture that provides extra space. By having a spot for all of your belongings, you’ll feel truly settled and happy in your rental.
