Living alone sometimes gets too overwhelming, and it takes time and effort to become comfortable in your own space. While staying away from home, it’s important to have a space that you can call your own. Shivank, a ‘25-year-old corporate guy’, works as a product manager in Gurgaon and rents an apartment near the office. He tries every day to make it look and feel like a home, a sacred space, where he can feel relaxed and calm – and documents it all on Instagram.

Star-shaped night lamp
While decorating his apartment, Shivank made a few purchases from Ikea to add a pop of colour to his space. He bought a star-shaped lamp that doubles as a decoration element. This aesthetic piece made the bland corner of his bedroom come alive. He kept the lamp on the bedside table of his bedroom. The yellow light of the lamp adds warmth to the corner.
Storage mirror
Next, he purchased a mirror for his bathroom that doubles as a storage space as well. It features a round mirror and storage space inside and below the mirror area. It easily accommodates all his toiletries and skincare products.

Plants and planters
{{/usCountry}}No wonder plants can be your best friends. Apart from all the other elements, he ensured to get some new plants and planters to add greenery to his space. He researched to figure out the plants that stay for longer and are less maintenance. Shivank also invested in some cool planters shaped like Doremon, a skull, a car, and many more. The planters were in different sizes, so that they can be well-placed in different corners of the house.
Open storage rack
Lastly, he bought a red open storage rack to keep all the knick-knacks organised in one place. He placed the rack in a corner with some planters, books, and other stuff. He converted a dish into a rack for his books and mounted it on the wall. Other than these, he also invested in laundry bags, door stoppers, and a touch-lamp to make his apartment feel like home.
