9 affordable things that can transform a simple home into a modern apartment

For many years we have dreamed of living in a stylish and modern apartment, but in fact, we never dare to change something, because we are sure that the new interior will cost us a lot financially. But style and comfort always start with little things. Very often, in order for a place to look alive and fresh, you just need to get rid of old habits and change some details.

We at Pictolic took inspiration from modern trends in interior design and found out what simple and affordable things can turn even the most ordinary apartment into something very stylish.

1. Sponge holder.

Storing a sponge in a sink is not very hygienic because a humid environment is a great breeding ground for bacteria and it doesn't look good at all. The ideal solution is a sponge holder. Most of them are placed on the inside of the sink, which allows excess moisture to go down the drain.

2. Wall-mounted shaver holder.

Personal hygiene items should be kept in absolutely clean rooms, but we often don't have enough free space for this, so we have to keep razors on the sink or even in toothbrush cups. A wall-mounted razor holder is a simple and affordable solution to a problem that many people have. This keeps the shaver in a comfortable place, protecting the blades from dullness or rust.

3. Multifunctional water faucet.

If you're tired of waiting for the kettle to boil water so you can drink hot tea or coffee, there is a solution. There are water faucets that include water filters and boilers. They give you boiling water, look pretty simple, and are great for many interiors as they don't take up any extra space.

4. No branded packaging.

Shampoos, liquid soaps, and other bathroom items in standard packaging can make even the most modern interior very cheap. Better to buy a set of bottles and other accessories. The variety of colors, designs, and materials are endless.

5. Table fireplace.

We all know that fire instantly makes a place cozy, but traditional fireplaces are quite expensive and candles cannot produce enough fire to last for hours. A great alternative is a bio fireplace. It's small, environmentally friendly, and great for both indoor and outdoor use.

6. Beautiful cat litter box.

]When choosing a litter box, many people buy large open models. But they have many drawbacks: cats do not have privacy, it does not protect against odors, and cats are very persistent carry the filler around the room. But there is a way out - a closed toilet. Today, more and more people are styling cat litter boxes and making them look like closets. They are fully functional and beautiful.

7. Cable organizer.

Extension cords with a lot of cables that people trip over never look good and they make the place a mess. Fortunately, there are many different organizers available to keep your cables safe and clean. Organizers protect cables from water and dust, they are well ventilated, and the cover can be used as a holder for a charger.

8. Mirrors made of several elements or non-traditional shapes.

When choosing mirrors for your interior, be careful because they can increase the space or have the opposite effect. Instead of traditional shapes and frames, we suggest you take a look at multiple-element mirrors. These models look fresh and cool.

8. Mirrors made of several elements or non-traditional shapes.

Plants make our home much better: they make it livelier and more comfortable. The question is where and how to place them. Sure, you can put them on a windowsill, table, or floor, but these days people hang them on the wall, creating vertical gardens. Thus, your room will not be overloaded, and the compositions that you can create will be completely unique.
