Modernizing Your Boulder Apartment

Fall has finally come around, inviting a feeling of transformation and maybe even renewal—it’s the season for changing up your style. If you glance around your place and things feel a little stale, it might be time to give your Boulder apartment a facelift. There are many new products on the market that can make your space feel updated and revitalized. It’s time to enter into the world of modern décor with the help of contemporary styling.

In honor of Month of Modern, below are some tips and tricks for modernizing your place.

Tech Gadgets

Who doesn’t love the convenience of home automation? With the touch of a button, your apartment can come alive. Don’t think that living in an apartment means you can’t enjoy the benefits of a connected home. There are several DIY installation products to update your residence, and even help it run more efficiently.

Imagine walking into your apartment and turning on your lights with just your smart phone—it’s possible with Wink’s automated lighting kit. Now, you can control the settings of your lighting and even schedule your lights to turn on at certain times. Not only is it impressive for guests, but it can also save you money on your energy bill. Forgot to turn the lights off in your bedroom? No problem, just take out your smart phone and control the switch from there.

To take your home connectivity to the next step, check out Amazon Echo. This smart device streams music, understands voice commands, and even connects to other smart devices, such as the Wink system. The Echo is a hands-free gadget that connects to Amazon.com, giving the capability to shop just by your voice. The future is finally here.

Modern Décor

If your furniture doesn’t match and you’re still using milk crates as side tables, it might be time to update your space. Contemporary sofas and armchairs can easily make your apartment look revitalized. You can find sleek, modern sofas or coffee tables at Concepts Furniture, conveniently located near your Gunbarrel apartment, for cool décor.

To accessorize your space and even preserve your carpeting, an area rug with an intricate pattern will save you from stains and keep your carpet cleaner, longer. These cool rugs from ModLivin easily transform your space and add character and color.

Affordable Artwork

For an updated look, think about swapping out unframed posters with artwork. Hanging up art is an easy way to add color to any space and bring a bit of sophistication. You don’t have to spring for an expensive piece; there are many affordable online vendors to check out. Minted.com carries hundreds of original artwork, all by independent artists. You canpurchase prints in various sizes to fit your walls, and most start at $20.

Updating and redecorating your space can be refreshing and make it feel more like home. New tech toys and modern decorations can take your apartment rental to the next level and make it an enjoyable space to live.
