Let's get cosy at canvas living

Moving into a new apartment can be very exciting – there are many possibilities to make the new space a truly fresh and unique experience. Most people, however, either bring their existing furniture or even move into a fully furnished apartment. Other than many other apartments that you can rent in Hamburg, Canvas Living offers both, furnished studio apartments, which provide you with a hassle-free and relaxed moving experience, as well as unfurnished options that let you bring in your own things. However, most people want to feel unique when it comes to the place, we call our own.

Luckily, there are many trendy options to transform a space with minimal effort and just a few objects. We have a few tips for you to create this simple transformation, we only need to stick to the three most important dimensions: fresh, friendly & personal.

Fresh Flowers and Plants

Adding fresh flowers or a vibrant plant to your space instantly breathes life into the room, transforming it into a more dynamic and welcoming environment. Flowers not only add a touch of nature but also give you the chance to express your personality by choosing your favourite colours or seasonal blooms that resonate with you. Whether it’s a bright, cheerful bouquet or a calming, green potted plant, these natural elements offer a refreshing energy, making your space feel more personal and uniquely yours. They remind us of growth, renewal, and beauty, enhancing both the mood and aesthetic of any room. If you enjoy choosing flowers that are in tune with the season, you can reflect the time of the year in the space while enjoying nature’s freshest blooms. Here is a list of seasonal flowers:

Spring (March-May): Vibrant blooms such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and cherry blossoms - they also symbolize renewal and growth.

Summer (June-August): This season brings bold, sun-loving blooms like sunflowers, roses, lilies and peonies.

Autumn (September-November): Fall flowers tend to have rich earthy tones. Chrysanthemums, dahlias, marigolds and asters thrive during this time, offering deep colors and textures.

Winter (December-February): Though the colder months offer fewer choices, amaryllis, poinsettias and holly bring festive cheer, while snowdrops and winter jasmine add delicate beauty to winter spaces.

Friendly Pop-of-Color Decorations

Incorporating small pops of color through items like pillows, vases, or candles is an easy yet impactful way to make a space feel unique and tailored to your style. These accents draw attention and add visual interest, breaking up neutral tones or monochrome schemes with vibrant contrasts. By choosing colors that resonate with your personality or mood, you create a more personal and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, changing out these small decorations allows for seasonal updates or quick refreshes without a major redesign. These touches of color can instantly transform the mood of a room, making it feel more dynamic and reflective of your individual taste – even if it was already furnished when you moved in.

Make it Personal

Don’t forget to make your Canvas Living space your own by including personal items. There are also very affordable and fun ways to do this, for example with a photo DIY frame filled with your pictures! Creating a DIY photo frame with Polaroids or printed photos is an affordable and heartfelt way to add a personal touch to your space. You can arrange your favourite memories in a unique layout, using string, clips, or even a simple frame to display them. This project allows you to showcase meaningful moments, whether it's family gatherings, travel adventures, or special milestones, making your room truly one-of-a-kind. Not only does it reflect your personality and experiences, but it also adds warmth and a sense of connection to the space. Plus, it's a budget-friendly way to decorate while filling your home with cherished memories.
