Interior Design – How To Decorate A Rental Apartment
Tour interior designer and blogger Jacquelyn Clark of Lark & Linen‘s rental apartment! See how she created a bright and welcoming home despite space constraints and get her budget-friendly decorating tips, DIY inspiration and more.
Jacquelyn used rugs to divide the open-concept rental apartment into zones, and created focal points to define the separate areas. A gallery wall with photos of her travels and drawings centers the dining room, while a simple mirror over the fireplace makes a subtle statement in the living room. To save money on furniture, Jacquelyn refurbished family heirlooms with a fresh coat of paint and new hardware. The blogger lives with her boyfriend, so contrasted the apartment’s soft palette with masculine elements, like a DIY bookshelf made of pipes. A wall above the office space painted in stripes is the main attraction in the apartment.
Clever use of space, easy, would bolt a few short planks to the shelves. Nice mix of neutrals. 🙂
It is ALL feminine…minus the book case
Love the stripes on the bump-out. 🙂 Always good to double-check your lease as to whether paint is allowed. If so, go for it!
Where did u get those baskets for the cube shelf, they r adorable!? 0:51 min of video
Splurge.
LOL gender norms!
That’s WITH masculinity infused? Ooooh…dude’s been neutered.
It’s ugly really chunky in appearance looks like a hoarders house! Why on earth does anyone need a bunch of disgusting old jars that serve no utilitarian purpose whatsoever just to sit there and gather dust. She’ll have fun dusting that area, or her cleaning lady will absolutely hate her!
Love it great job and very creative
These are all really cool ideas but nothing beats a crystal chakra strand when making a temporary space yours for a while. A crystal collection that hangs from the ceiling. It is so warm and inviting and takes up no extra space. It also cleans the space with its crystal energy. https://www.etsy.com/listing/549228708/relaxing-chakra-strand-chakra-art?ref=shop_home_active_9
"I’M ALWAYS LOOKING TO SPEND SOME SOME MONEY"
I wish I was ‘on a budget’ too!
Where did you get those lamps? Thanks
Good job Jacquelyn, truly a stylish, affordable and unique interior decor. Accessories like wall-art, rugs, curtains, cushions, plantations etc do change the look of the room, especially rugs. I bought a rug from http://www.deluxerugsncarpets.com.au and it has created a more cohesive feel and look to my room.
LETS GET BASIC!
Why are people so negative (I hate this,ugle,hate your voice) what is your problem,just woke up mean.
Love it
AMAZING!
look over function, is not good.
TV placed in the corner, viewing angle will be trouble .
however i like that table with wheels in it
Very interesting. I am definitely going to steal a couple of ideas here. Oh, and to the pricks in the comments section, for god’s sake, stop bitching. This is THEIR house.
Why would anyone want to rip up a real parquet floor?
I want to turn all the books with the spine facing outward…🤣🤣
You did a great job of mixing the two styles.
Would be a much better video if she didn’t have such a damn creaking voice. geezus – intolerable!
JoJo
Lucky so was not allowed to rip out the lovely wooden parquet
I like that you can reuse the furniture and the design will travel to the next place.
Grey & white is blah & boring
This is beautiful! Rr
Wow looks beautiful. 1 tip turn ur books spine out pages toward the wall unless u like the yellowed pages showing.
never showed the kitchen area 🙁
Design AD-D I love it…haha…yes just 1 more thing or change something you’re bored of. 😂
I really like how you used the IKEA bookcase behind the couch to define a visual "wall." Its like the older type of sofa tables but with lots more storage!
Love the office wall.
I would rip out the parquet floor as well. As a European it feels outdated to me, plus I don’t like parquet floors.
WHAT COLOR DID ARE THE LIVING ROOM WALLS?
I absolutely love the carriage coffee table. Where did u get it from ?
Love your space. I did not get this female jean ….how to decorate. I look around and see nothing but brown in my house. I hate it!!! My mother says you can dress yourself so well. What is the problem. I don’t know. I just don’t have it. But I’m going to try. Wish me luck folks. I need it. LOL
I have noticed recently that decorators shelve books with the book spines reversed. Why? For privacy? CMJ.
Love it
Not masculine at all. Boyfriend caved.
looks cold and sterile to me. Not my style. I’m just sayin.
i hate this one
any one can tell me where to find a coffee table like that one ?
gee! that’s an ugly apartment!
I disliked this video for a couple of reasons- 1) there is no flow of theme from one space to another, everything looks mismatched. 2) the style is all over the place, from industrial to contemporary to mid-century modern. 2) there is no balance of shapes in any space, everything just seems rectangular everywhere
No personality here with the sterile white walls and book spines facing the walls.
The place looks WAY more feminine than masculine. Big surprise, women got her way.
No drilling holes and painting tutorials please! It’s a great looking makeover but not at all practical for the broke ass folks like myself!
Poor guy..
