Apartment Decorating Ideas - How to decorate your living room

Define your decorating style!

You want to work hard at getting it right but the result has to look as though it's been thrown together in five minutes!

Your living room is the place where family and friends sit when visiting, so you should make a special effort to create a comfortable harmonious environment.

Creating the prefect living room - Do's and Don'ts

Do:

•Use magazines for inspiration. Tear out pictures of furniture items, rooms, colours and patterns and create your own mood board which you can use as a point of reference.

•Use borders or fringing to revitalise curtains or furniture and to pick up colours from an focal item from the living room.

•Have furniture of varying heights to add interest to a room and create a homely effect.

•Place lighting at different levels in the room. Using a combination of uplighters, table lamps and standard lamps will add warmth and atmosphere.

•Keep lampshades up to date, either by replacing or customising. Shapes change regularly!

•Consider having curtains made to measure if your budget allows it. Apart from the obvious benefits of being able to choose the fabric and colours, they will fit your windows exactly.

Don't:

•Have single chairs in a room used for entertaining, as it invites a person to sit alone and this can make other guests feel uncomfortable. Instead group chairs together in pairs or use sofas if space permits it.

•Hoard old, worn accessories such as saggy cushions and curtains. Mend or update with new coverings or fillings if possible. If not, it could be time to start on a fresh again.

•Worry about what your friends will think - it is your apartment and only you have to live there.

•Don't Be afraid of colour or patterns. Experiment and have fun – you can always change it again.

The History of Labor Day - from Suset Lodge Apartments in Odessa TX

To many Americans, Labor Day marks the end of the summer, a day off from work and school, and one last chance to relax. But Labor Day is much more than just a day off. It represents a very important victory for laborers everywhere. The holiday is a celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. Fighting for Change More than a century ago, workers were forced to deal with harsh conditions. They were paid very little, and they often worked 10- to 12-hour days. Men, women and even small children were forced to work even when they were sick. Tired of long hours and dangerous conditions, workers began organizing themselves into labor unions. On top of fighting for higher pay and shorter workdays, they also fought for the rights of children. The workers wanted employers to place limits on the age of their workers so that small children were not overworked or hurt in factories. Peter McGuire is often called the "father" of Labor Day. He came up with the idea for the holiday in 1882.A Holiday for Workers A New York City carpenter named Peter McGuire is credited for coming up the idea for Labor Day. In 1872, after working many long hours under poor conditions, McGuire rallied 100,000 workers to go on strike. The workers marched through the streets of New York City, demanding a better work environment. McGuire spent a decade fighting for worker's rights. In 1882, he proposed the idea to create a special holiday for workers. On Tuesday, September 5, 1882, more than 10,000 workers hit the streets of New York City for the first ever Labor Day parade. Two years later the celebration was moved to the first Monday in September. And in 1894, Congress passed a law making Labor Day a national holiday. A Relaxing Celebration Americans celebrated the first Labor Day holiday with a parade, picnics and fireworks. Today, many people hit the road to enjoy the last of their summer vacation. Others enjoy the long weekend with picnics, backyard barbecues or just rest and relaxation. However you spend Labor Day, remember that the holiday is a time to pay tribute to the workers who have made America what it is today.

Green Living in Your Apartment in Odessa, TX

GreenLiving Tips for Your Apartment Home We know that you would always "do the right thing" for yourself and the planet if it were convenient, fun, inexpensive, and made you feel good. Being green doesn't have to be complicated or difficult! Below are some simple tips to help you live in more planet-friendly ways: Energy Unplug the "secret energy addicts" in your home: TVs, VCRs, DVD players, cable TV boxes, computers and printers, video game consoles, microwave ovens and AC adapters for cell phones, digital cameras and other electronics. Most electronic equipment, including anything that uses a remote control, is designed to consume energy when it is turned off. That "off" setting is actually a "standby" or "idling" mode. Standby power in the average household consumes 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually. That's enough energy to power an entire home for two months, or more. The solution? Unplug anything that isn't being used. Swap out incandescent bulbs for compact fluorescent bulbs. CFs use about 66% less energy and last up to 10 times longer. Turn down your thermostat by two degrees in the winter (and up two degrees in the summer). You'll save 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide this year! Switch to cold-water washing and save 80% on laundry energy. Reducing, Reusing and Recycling Recycling is important, but first and foremost: Use less whenever possible. And don't think you can't make a difference by recycling... recycling just one aluminum can saves the amount of energy required to run a TV for three hours! Here are a few suggests that will help reduce our use of precious natural resources. Many computers, monitors, cell phones and other electronics include toxic materials that should not sit in landfills, and you'd be surprised how many retailers and other companies will take your old gadgets for recycling. The Environmental Protection Agency (link: http://www.epa.gov/) an help you find local electronics recyclers. Say no to junk mail - 100 million trees' worth are sent out each year. Visit www.dmachoice.org/MPS/ to opt out of the Direct Marketing Association's member mailings. Packing peanuts and other loose fill will sit in a landfill for centuries, but there are lots of places you can bring them for recycling. Call the Peanut Hotline at 1-800-828-2214. If every household in the US replaced 1 roll of 1000 sheet bathroom tissues with 100% recyclable rolls, we could save 373,000 trees, 1.48 million cubic feet of landfill space, and 155 million gallons of water. Cleaning Use non-toxic, environmentally safe, biodegradable cleaning products, including laundry products, which you can find at any natural grocery and even many mainstream stores. Just read the labels carefully. Don't pollute your indoor air or mask odors that could alert you to a problem. Choose fragrance-free products. Transportation Buy a high-efficiency car if you can afford one. Check the U.S. Department of Energy's list of most fuel-efficient cars to find the one that's right for you. Rather than driving your car to work every day, try other ways, even if only one or two days a week. You can walk, ride your bike, take the bus or the train or join a car. You'll be cutting down on air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, oil consumption and your the costs of fueling and maintaining your vehicle. And mixing up your commuting routine helps you avoid falling into the workday rut. Urge your workplace to have a van-pool, environmentally responsible purchasing policies and an improved indoor environment. Rid your workplace of secret energy addicts. They are everywhere. Personal Practices Buy locally produced items, including produce and other goods. It reduces the amount of fossil fuels required to transport the things you buy from other parts of the country or the world. It also reduces the amount of plastic and paper products consumed in the packaging of such far-traveling products. Instead of using grocery stores' disposable plastic or paper bags, bring your own reusable tote bags, which are available for sale at many grocers and other retailers. The bags are sturdier than disposable bags, making the trip home easier, and they don't waste resources or end up in landfills. You alone could keep up to 1,500 bags per year out of landfills! If you must use disposable bags, ask your bagger to avoid double-bagging whenever possible. Only run full loads in the dishwasher and the laundry machine. You use the same amount of energy to power these machines if you have a 1/2 load or a full one- so wait a couple of days to make sure you have a full load. Be careful not to leave the water running when you brush your teeth or wash the dishes. Scrape - don't rinse! When using a dishwasher, pre-rinsing is no longer necessary with today's technology and detergents. You may be using more water to pre-rinse than the dishwasher uses for a full wash cycle. When you go out for coffee, bring a reusable insulated mug.

Smart Decorating Ideas for Your Apartment - by Sunset Lodge Apartments in Odessa, TX

 Let these ideas inspire you to make the home (and space) you want.

---

Gallery Display

Use floating shelves to show off a collection of decorative objects and mementos. Stagger the shelves for a unique look. Basic shelves serve as a strong basis for rotating displays. They will go with almost anything, which means you can change the look of the vignette, leaving the shelves in place and avoid making any more holes in your apartment walls.

Paint Options

If you can't paint the walls in your apartment, paint your furniture. A new paint job on a bed frame  or night stand can be just as impactful as new color on the walls.



Embrace Open Storage

Employ an industrial metal shelving  unit as extra storage. The cool finish of this unit recalls metal touches that are standard in pro kitchens. Use baskets to corral kitchen staples, and incorporate a few decorative touches to keep it fun.

Floor Coverings

Often in a rental situation, you are stuck with whatever finishes are in place when you sign the lease. If your apartment's carpet is not so stylish, camouflage the problem with an extra-large area rug that coordinates with your other decor.  If the room is on the small side, you won't need an oversize rug, which can start to get pricey.

Add an Entry

If your apartment lacks a designated entry, create your own with a bookcase Remove the top shelves and install hooks on the back wall of the bookcase for hanging coats. Add more hooks to the sides of the book case for hanging leashes or umbrellas. Outfit the bottom shelves with baskets and small drawers for storing mittens, sunglasses, and other out-the-door essentials. Add a memo bar from an office supply store to the top of the bookcase as a place to organize reminders.

Shine On

In any small space, using mirrors is a decorating trick that works wonders. They reflect light and make a space feel bigger. Hang a large mirror in your apartment's dining space, living room or bedroom across from a window, so it is in a prime position to receive natural light and reflect it back into the room.

Be Entertaining

Turn your TV wall into a focal point. Hang paneled artwork behind the TV to frame it, and surround the TV with plenty of storage. This TV could have been placed on the console beneath it, but to maximize space and functionality in an apartment rental, take your TV to the wall and place a console beneath it that can be used as a serving surface when entertaining. Plus, having a piece of furniture beneath a wall-mount TV grounds it and prevents it from seeming as if there's a random black object floating on the wall.

Outside In

Use colorful garden stools as impromptu coffee tables or as bedside tables. These relatively lightweight furniture pieces can easily be moved from room to room and are much easier to carry up apartment stairs than a bulky table.

Curtain Illusion

Introduce a rental to luxury with gorgeous drapes. Hanging several sets of drapes along a wall is an apartment-approved way to give your walls personality without the permanency of wallpaper or paint. It also gives the illusion that there are windows hidden behind the drapes, rather than just an expanse of blank walls and one window.

Hardworking Furniture

A day bed can be a couch by day and a guest bed by night. Plumped up with plenty of pillows for back support, you can sink comfortably on to a daybed to watch TV or read a book. But when overnight guests come, they'll have a comfortable place to sleep. Keep a large basket nearby for extra linens to make the transition from couch to bed easy.

Hidden Storage

A beautifully skirted table hides a secret. Beneath the sumptuous fabric is a shelving unit that holds dining room extras. Use the skirted-table trick in bedrooms and house shoes or handbags below, or in a living room to hide media components.

Apartment Lighting

Good lighting can completely transform a room, and its source doesn't necessarily need to be a hardwired ceiling fixture. Invest in lamps to place on end tables, nightstands, and side tables. Position floor lamps to illuminate dark corners and hang plug-in wall sconces in hallways or above sofas. Plug-in undercabinet lighting will give your kitchen work areas new life and make cooking tasks easier.
