Your Apartment a Little Upgrade

It's natural to be on a constant home improvement mission, but in Shanghai, when renting an apartment for what could be years, or could be months, it's difficult to pour your heart and soul into a place that you know you could be leaving in the pretty near future.

Having said that – there are some ways to make your apartment that little bit more special and it doesn't have to cost a fortune!

Here are a few cheap-as-chips ways to upgrade you home!

Furniture That Doubles as a Cat Toy

Any cat owner knows that most cat toys and cat climbing frames ain't pretty, and do nothing for your apartment aesthetic. But there's always an exception to the rule, and we've found that exception!

Lavender Essential Oils and Hand Soap

The smell in your house is super important, so as well as lovely smelling candles, why not add a few drops of lavender essential oils into a humidifier and let it waft around your home for all visitors to enjoy? Or treat yourself to a lovely lavender hand soap?

Also – interesting fact: Lavender takes our brain to a 'safe place' hence its use in massage and as a sleep aid, so your guests will feel totally chilled in your home!

Adding small touches to your kitchen can make a big difference to your home. A colourful tea towel here and a fancy mug there can be total game changers.

Nothing personalizes a home like well-chosen wall art, and we absolutely love our Shanghai Favourites canvas. It's a constant reminder of how amazing Shanghai really is, and you can take it with you whenever and wherever you decide to go next!

So, there you go guys! A ton of ideas to make your home even more beautiful that won't break the bank!
