Original color, light schemes
SDice up apartment life blues
By Kirk Zebels&y
Daily Nebruluut Stf Writer
Students looking for apart
ments are often preoccupied with
the monthly rent payment. They
end up moving into totally un
furnished apartments, or apart
ments decorated to someone else's
tastes.
There are ways a student can
inexpensively spruce up an apart
ment to fit his or her tastes,
according to Gretchen Goiter, as
sociate member of the American
Society of Interior Designers and
Miller and Paine.
The easiest way to transform
your apartment into something
you like, Goiter said, is to incor
porate a color change by repaint
ing walls and even furniture.
"You'd be surprised what one
gallon of paint can do," she said.
Goiter said the biggest advan
tage of paint is that it is inexpen
sive, and that it can make a "size
able difference in the interior
look of an apartment.
"You can get some wild and
wonderful looks just from a can
of paint," she said. That includes
changes to old or bad-looking
furniture, she said.
Goiter said a continuance of
color should be maintained,
especially if the apartment has
only three rooms, as studio apart
ments do. She said totally oppo
site colors on the color wheel
should not be used together, even
in different rooms. She recom
mended white not be used except
for ceilings.
Before redecorating is begun,
students should decide upon a
color scheme, and build around
G !ter said. For instance, new
or used furniture bought for an
apartment should match the
original color scheme.
bolter said students might
want to consider colors they know
they enjoy, such as colors they
wear.

Ughting. Clip-on lights are inexp
sensive, and can achieve effects
like "nice spotting or low-level
mood lighting," Goiter said. Clip
on lights can also improve the
lighting in general, which is often
poor in apartments, Goiter said.
She suggested accent lights,
which are sold at Miller & Paine
for 10 to 15 dollars. Some of these
lights are attractive enough for
an apartments' livingroom; oth
ers appeared better suited for
bedrooms.
Goiter said major changes could
result from color lighting changes,
but she also provided pointers on
other aspects of interior decorat
ing in apartments.
If a student's apartment lacks
chairs and sofas, checking garage
sales and for-sale ads in news
papers is a good idea, Goiter said.
Goiter also recommended two
types of chairs carried by some
department stores. She said
colored folding chairs cost from
eight to $12. Directors chairs,
which are wood with canvas seat
covers, run from $18 to $25.
If a student needs a bookcase,
Goiter said hardware stores sell
build-it-yourself bookcases which
can be attached to walls and
painted to match them.
To decorate walls, posters are
the most inexpensive way to go,
Goiter said. Posters should be
displayed in groups of three, and
each of the three should have the
same theme.
