Apartment-Décor-Hacks-For-Senior-Citizens

Did you work hard throughout your life? Do you want a bit of comfort now? When you are a senior citizen, everything should be just as you want it — including your home. To get the best home, you will need to do some significant research. Once you find something amazing, you'll want the décor of your apartment to be perfect as well. Here we talk about some simple tips senior citizens should keep in mind when decorating their homes.

Here are some small-space decorating tips to turn your senior citizen apartment into a home you love! Click To Tweet

Apartment design for seniors should maximize the light



There should be a lot of light in a senior citizen's home. Light is a great mood booster.

In addition, when there is ample light, it's also easier to move around as day becomes night.

Not to mention, lighting also beautifies the home. Plus, when there is plenty of light in a small home like an apartment, it makes the area feel larger.

You can add extra bright bulbs to your overhead fixtures and increase the number of lamps that you have to increase the amount of light in your apartment.

Also, make sure there is nothing blocking windows where sunlight can enter and naturally light your space.

“A designer knows when he has reached perfection not when there is nothing left to add but when there is nothing left to take away.”

—Antione de Sainte-Exupery

Remember to use the vertical space when decorating a senior apartment


All of your essentials should be readily available. The good news is that it is not an impossible endeavor.

What you need to do is think upwards. If your apartment is small, install shelves and cabinets on your walls.

The benefit is that you will be able to access all of your things with ease. Plus, this will keep things off the floor and make your space feel larger as well.

Apartment decorating should enhance the beauty of your home

When you live in an apartment, you should consider using mirrors as a decoration piece. They give a sophisticated look to the room. At the same time, they make the room feel bigger.

The best approach will be to place the mirrors opposite to one another.

“If you wait until you have enough money to decorate and make your home your own, it will never happen. If you wait until you can afford to buy everything new, you are missing the point. It is the old, the new, the hand-me-down, the collected, the worn but loved things in your home that make it your own.”

—Stacy Risenmay, Not Just a Housewife

Ditch the idea of a dining room


When you want your senior citizen apartment to look bigger, let go of the idea of having a dining table. The reason is that a dining table tends to take up a lot of space. Instead, place stools around the kitchen counter.

A tiny apartment should be decorated in the best way. This usually means maximizing space. 

There is no denying that home is where the heart lies, so make it look its best!

    Great ideas! Especially stools around the kitchen counter. I would add that they MUST have backs, and no wheels.

      Yes, backs are a must for seniors! Cushioned backs at that.
