If you’re moving to a new country, there
are so many things that might be going through your mind, including how you’ll
decorate your flat so you’re comfortable and happy.
Unless you definitely know you’ll be
staying for a long stretch, you won’t want to invest too much in the items that
you won’t be able to bring with you when you leave. You may also be dealing
with a smaller space than you’re used to. Because of these things, we’ve
explore some top tips for decorating your apartment as an expat.
Keep
it Simple
Our best piece of advice is to go minimal.
There are some amazing design schemes you can employ that are consciously
minimal. And this in no way means you are opting for the mundane. With less
items to handle, this should be easier to execute. The trick is keeping things
simple and tucked away by not buying too many unnecessary items when you move
into your new place.
Also, if you’re considering house removals to France or other places in Europe,
remember that you’re likely to find everything you need there when you get
settled, so it won’t be necessary to bring absolutely everything with you.
Experiment
This is a perfect time to experiment with
new design styles and items you might not use normally. Think about buying
locally produced items and cultural styles, such as rugs, frames, plates and
pots. You can always leave these items behind one day when you move back home –
or ship your favourite items that you just can’t part with.
Make
IKEA Your Friend
Companies like IKEA or NITORI are great for
people who have just moved to a new country. As well as offering basically
anything you’ll need to set up your home, including beds, sofas, cooking
equipment and microwaves, you can also get your items delivered to your new
address – meaning you don’t have to worry about finding transport as soon as
you arrive.
