1 – Wall Gallery
Vertical space is something you should never waste. You can use that unused wall space to show off your personal collection of art, photos, awards, and memorabilia, or even display it as a work of art itself. It can also be used to house children’s artwork and encourage creativity.

2. Indoor Plants
Adding indoor plants to your living room can instantly transform a space into something more alive and vibrant. What’s great about indoor plants is that they come in all shapes, sizes, and price ranges. Whether you’re looking for an exotic orchid (higher end) or a common spider plant (lower end), you can find it at most garden stores.

3. Books
Bookcases are great ways to add a bookshelf that doesn’t have to be obtrusive. Consider using a bookshelf in place of a room divider if you don’t need to separate spaces. Also, picture frames can be used as shelves, which is an excellent way to add some spice and personality without too much commitment.

5. Washable Rugs
Rugs can quickly become an eyesore, especially if you live in a small apartment. But it’s also important to cover hardwood floors, so what’s a girl to do? Place washable rugs throughout your home! The best part is that they can be easily washed by throwing them in your washing machine.

6. Curtains
Hang up a pair of curtains and instantly add another color to your living room. A simple pattern will liven up a room, while heavy drapes can create a cozy feel. Be sure to measure your windows before you buy anything so that you can get curtains that fit perfectly!
7. Baskets
Make a statement with baskets instead of tables or end tables. Their lightweight allows you to move them around easily and they allow you to keep items out of sight while still bringing some style into your living room. Simply filling them with seasonal blankets or pillows adds an added texture that makes things appear warm and inviting.
8. Candles
Rather than spend a lot of money on fancy glass candle holders, try putting them in old wine bottles. You can also use hurricane lamps, mason jars, and even birdcages to display your candles. A great way to save space while getting a cozy and elegant look at the same time!

9. Blanket Ladder
By fastening two L-shaped rungs to a wall, you create a ladder leading up to your bed. This gives you somewhere to set a book or glass of water without having to balance it on your nightstand—plus, it creates more floor space in your bedroom.
10. Mirrors
Mirrors are usually a fantastic decorative option, but when it comes to your living room, you want to make sure that they’re used for more than just decoration. These types of mirrors can be hung vertically and will allow light from a lamp or window to bounce off them and create more natural lighting in an otherwise dark space.
