15 apartment living room ideas to copy whether you own or rent

The best way to decorate an apartment living room on a budget is to shop second-hand. Not only is this going to save you money it's going to add a ton of personality to your space that you won't get if you just fill it with a load of cheap flat-pack furniture. 

Also, get DIYing, a lick of paint can make all the difference to a space, or pull up carpets (if allowed) and see if you have anything beautiful underneath, make your own throw pillow out of vintage fabrics. Just think; can I make that/restyle my current space to get that look, before you go spending any money.
