Whether you are a freshman in the direction of the university for the first time or a higher uprising, the decorating your dorm room (or apartment) is a must.
Unfortunately, the transformation, a rare bland space into a welcoming haven can become quite expensive. I discovered for myself when I had the opportunity to decorate my room after moving into a home of my first year of college.
Yet, while it is almost impossible not to spend money, there is no need to break the bank
Here are six tips to help you decorate a dorm on a budget:.
- 1. First, become familiar with the rules. Some dorms and apartments do not allow things like halogen lamps or holes in the wall. Learn the rules before shelling out for anything that is prohibited.
- 2. Do not duplicate ticket items. Check with your roommate ahead of time to decide who brings what. You only need a microwave, there is no need for you both to provide. You will save money if you understand who is responsible for what in advance.
- 3. Check in with family and friends. Before hitting the stores, let your family members and friends know what you are looking for. They can give you for a flight, or even free. (My aunt generously donated a set of dining set, toaster oven, coffee machine and cooker. Well-equipped kitchen? Check.)
- 4. Do not be afraid to upcycle. Familiar with Pinterest? It is a site full of inspiring ideas for the renovation of antique furniture and unique creation, cheap decorations. Once you get some ideas, combing thrift stores, garage sales and Craigslist for materials.
- 5. Compare prices before you buy. Some items that you really need to buy new. But you should not buy the first thing you come across. There are a number of applications you can download to compare prices in stores. Pcmag.com lists 10 best comparison shopping applications.
- 6. Do temporary for now. well-placed control strips and washi tape can do wonders to a room. Washi tape comes in every color and pattern imaginable and can be used for just about everything. control strips allow you to hang and easily remove the decorations of your walls.
With a little patience and some creativity, you'll be happy with your new space and enjoy the savings, too.
