How to make over your apartment in 3 easy steps

While painting walls and installing new cabinetry are projects that seem a bit overwhelming among other summer priorities, we’ve created a short list with just three easy steps to spruce up your apartment, just in time for the hot summer season.
Check out our tips below…
Switch out your window treatments: Summer is in full effect. Ditch those dark bulky looking curtains for a sheer, nuetral window treatment. By doing so, not only do you keep preying eyes out but you frame your room, giving it that little extra pop it needs.
Try: IKEA GULSPORRE cutrains, available in gray and white at IKEA.
Brighten up your couch with fun, festive pillows: This might be the most cost effective way to switch up your living room.
Try: Zara Home Striped Linen Pillows, $6.90, available at Zara Home.
Switch out your bedding: While comforter sets can be quite costly, what we love about summer is the endless options of quilts, light throws and duvet sets.
Try: Urban Outfitters Locust Dyed-Stripe Duvet Cover, $79, available at Urban Outfitters.
