How do I get started with my new apartment?

You could try feng shui, it can be quite cute, buy a book on it

you should try various furneture stores in your area. like ikea.com, next.com and you might just have too experiment with colors, see which ones match and work have fun =]

for color schemes, I use http://www.colorschemer.com/

there are ready made color schemes there and if you want to experiment by yourself, use this tool. http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html

im not sure on the furnitures and stuff though :)

I am planning to have the apartment on a very cozy place, girly but not that much… just wanna make it a country style, simple yet soo liveable… I don’t wanna convert it like a museum like my previous one… lmao! thanks for the response! :)

thanks for the response! :) how about shabby chic? is it nice? I want my apartment like feeling super clean and sexy and cozy… ;) you know… lol but I appreviate all the answers! omg… :) thank you guys!

shabby chic is the perfect way to go omg it is HOT…im a fanatic I mean im always changing my apt because I like change but I always use the same theme retro sexy clean modern look oh and dont forget simple you know what they say the less the better

HAVE FUN WITH IT

well if you are into retro ,modern yet not over he top look the colors for the walls should be neutral.for the largest room you could use a dark bluish grey (it looks mostly grey with a hint of blue) That color is gogeous and makes the room so cozy and comfortable, and if you have or can buy frniture like these : http://ranafurniture.com/Rana_Furniture/Welcome.html#13 you could get white or black and if you like color you can throw 3 pillows of 3 different bright colors you like put a nice low glass table in the middle something simple and chic on top and a nice rug underneath (white) if you have black furniture (black) if you have white I mean make it a clean cozy simple modern look

Dining area if it is on the same room as the living room paint the wall behing your dining table a different color to separate one area with another you can get wild with the color on this one now dark oranges and dark reds are in style choose a table that is modern something like this
