How to choose a color scheme for an apartment — even if you can't paint

A peach-colored room with a colorful bed

When it comes to choosing a color scheme for your apartment, there are plenty of elements to take into account. Natural lighting, artificial lighting, space, and even the mood you want to convey are just a few elements to consider when finding the right colors for your home. Designing a small space can be challenging enough as it is, but figuring out the general color theme? That's a huge ask. If you don't want to stick with the plain gray walls or beige accents your rental came with — you've got options to spice things up.

Whether you’re planning on painting your interiors or picking more temporary solutions (for instance, renters can add peel-and-stick wallpaper or change window treatments), making a game plan for the right colors in your home can allow you to get the most out of your decorating.
