Refreshing your apartment home can be challenging. There are limitations for decorating in all apartment contracts and for good reason—it allows others to love the apartment after you do.

2. Experiment with New Artwork
Refreshing your space doesn’t always huge changes and new purchases. Simply adding a new piece of art can change the mood of your room significantly. Art is very powerful and does amazing things for the mood of a room with only color and design elements.
You can use large artwork or bold color to add energy to your space without making it feel crowded or overwhelming. Blown up photos or handmade works from your kiddos can add nostalgia and happiness to a space. Painting something yourself can bring new life to an area without destroying your budget.

3. Explore New Colors & Aromas
A pop of color and a dash of essential oil in your diffuser will not only refresh your space but it will completely change your view of it. Implementing some introductory color psychology and aromatherapy can go a long way for mood and visual changes in your space.
Color Psychology is a fascinating phenomenon where color influences mood. Color alone can make your space feel larger, taller, calmer, and a whole host of other sensations. Similarly, aromatherapy activates smell receptors, which send messages through your nervous system. Adding an essential oil diffuser is an accessible and apartment-friendly way to influence your space through your senses.
