You’re living the life of luxury in your Phoenix apartment; you’ve cleaned, decorated, and entertained, but now it’s time to spice things up! With Spring in the air, it’s time to change up your color scheme and say goodbye to those dreary winter colors, and a splash of light back into your kitchen, family room and bedroom!

While we’ve all had the opportunity to see some really breath-taking apartments, it is not quite as common to see beautiful apartments that seem to have been inexpensively decorated.  For many, expensive decorating schemes are a luxury that cannot be afforded.  However, there are options! We urge you to think outside the box, and employ some truly creative thinking.

One truly innovative example was showcased in design*sponge, and is a do-it-yourself masterpiece! Instead of spending the big bucks on expensive wallpaper, why not embrace your imaginative side and try something different? To the left, you can see a very clever substitute for wallpaper.  The homeowner decided to save a few bucks and spent several weeks collecting paint swatches from his local hardware store.  While this may seem a bit too far outside of the box for some, the results were amazing!  He was very cautious in the layout, and was sure to lay each swatch perfectly.

While a paint swatch-decorated apartment may not be the right choice for all, it is certainly a friendly reminder of the possibilities each room holds!  Whether you are on a budget or not, it is oftentimes critical to take a step back and think about the bigger picture.  Your apartment is a reflection of yourself, and it is in your power to make it whatever you want it to be!

With beautiful weather all year round in the Valley of the Sun, there’s no reason not to spend morning, evening and night outdoors! But who wants to spend time on an empty patio? Here are some ideas for a quick and affordable way to spruce up the patio of your Phoenix Apartment:

1. Pick a theme- whether you’re going for a tropical look or country casual, know your own style and stick to a pattern. Don’t overwhelm yourself or your guests with too many colors to focus on.
2. Keep it simple- remember, you want to accentuate the size of your Phoenix Apartment. Use décor that can be easily stored or moved and make sure everything has a place!
3. Watch out for weather- be sure to keep an eye out for rain or storms and move materials inside if necessary. Use fake plants instead of real to avoid sun damage in the summer and frost in the winter!

The most important thing to remember when enhancing your patio is to keep yourself in mind. Build a space where you will want to do everything form sip your coffee to serve your guests.  Decorating your patio will be easy, affordable, and fun!

The wedding was the perfect picture of romance and love. The honeymoon, even more so. All of the planning and craziness before the wedding left you with no time to think about anything else. Now, after the honeymoon, you’re staring at a U-Haul full of all of your stuff… and all of his. How on earth are you going to get this to all fit inside one Trillium Phoenix apartment?

The key: don’t stress! If you just got married, and you’re living with your spouse for the first time, the trick is to highlight the good. At this point, it should be easy to find the good (you just got married!). In other words, his wood furniture may not look perfect next to your black. However, is it worth stressing over? Probably not! Instead, focus on combining both of your interior design styles, and find a combination that works.
