Moving can be a stressful time, especially if you are new to renting but you don’t need to break the bank in order to make a new space feel inviting, friendly, and just like home. 

Creating an affordable atmosphere is much easier than you think! With so many retail outlets, both online and instore, there are plenty of resources to find design forward home accent pieces that compliment any apartment space. 

Our personal favourites:

• Walmart: Perfect for everyday items like towels, bath accessories & small kitchen appliances. 
• HomeSense: This one is a true must. From kitchenware to pet accessories, HomeSense has everything you’re looking for to decorate and accent any space.  
• Structube: If you’re looking for more than basic Ikea, Structube offers chic, trendy home furnishings and accessories for all budgets. 

Your local garden centre- While this is not a home décor space per se, adding live plants creates a fresh ambience to any apartment. Buying a few succulents, or having a live orchid will add an inviting touch to any home. 

Above all else, the easiest way to make your space feel inviting, friendly and just like home is keeping it clean. No amount of décor can substitute for a clean, fresh smelling, organized apartment. 

Happy decorating!
