This is a sponsored post brought to you by BRE Properties

Your apartment is your home; your place to retreat from the rest of the world and regain your balance. But is your apartment a creative space that inspires you? Whether you rent one of the many BRE rental properties or a place in another apartment complex, there are different ways to make your apartment a creative, artistic space. Many people think that they need a lot of space or certain supplies to have a creative space, but with a little organization, planning and of course creativity, any space can be designed to release the inner artist in you.

Incorporate Creativity into the Décor

So maybe you only have a small corner for painting or other artistic projects, but that doesn’t mean you can’t bring creativity into your entire apartment. From art on the walls to decorative items on the shelves, make your apartment an extension of yourself as much as possible. What inspires you, calms you or puts you in a creative mood? There are tons of apartment decorating ideas online from art projects, creative wall coverings and handmade curtains. Tap into your creative spirit to decorate an apartment that will continue to inspire you. And don’t forget little things like lighting. Figure out a way to let natural light in. BRE rental properties may offer different options for customization if you check with the landlord. You can incorporate artistic elements into everything in your apartment.

Make Space

Do you have a small apartment or think you just don’t have enough space? Make it. You may not be able to find apartments with extra space for artistic projects, but any area of the apartment can be transformed into the space you need. Maybe it’s a piece of furniture that needs to be moved slightly when you’re working or a corner of the room that needs to be reserved, but never let the lack of space stop you.

Stay Organized

Keeping your things organized is key. Nothing kills creativity more than not having what you need when you need it. Have a place to store everything you need and keep supplies stocked. There are plenty of organization options that don’t take up a lot of space. Compact storage cabinets and shelves work great, but you can also use under the bed boxes or hanging storage boxes. Whatever you can do to keep your supplies handy and available. That way when inspiration strikes, you’ll be ready.
