1. Paint is your new best friend.
If your landlord allows it, paint an accent wall. Something bright will create a focal point for the room, with minimal effort.

2. Bring the outdoors in.
Buy a plant. Or five. They make a room feel more alive and also improve the air quality! Home Depot has many house plants under $10.

3. Buy a rug, it adds personality!
Even if it’s on top of your apartment’s old carpet. Check sites like Wayfair and Overstock to find a good deal, and check stores like T.J.Maxx, Home Goods.

4. Own a lot of mismatched furniture?
The answer to this problem again is paint. Choose a bright color to liven the place up, or if most of your furniture is black but you have one light wood piece, you might consider painting that black to match.
