It saves you big time while adding a personal and unique touch. Brighten up those sad empty walls with photos and posters from home instead of buying wall art (or DIY it). They also add a nostalgic touch by reminding you of home. Recycle those old items from home and pair them with a few new ones to bring a fresh, trendy look to your dorm room. Only buy the things you absolutely need and don’t have. This is the biggest money saver! Scavenge around the house before moving and try to tick off as much from your list as you can. Try out different arrangements while considering light, floor space and storage, and settle for the configuration that suits your style!
Moving the bed by the window can help bring natural light into the room, and moving the desk near shelves creates a mini practical office space.
Before you do anything, rearrange the existing furniture if you can. And, fear not if your budget doesn’t have room for a bit of décor because these hacks have got you covered: Congratulations for choosing to living on campus this year! But what happens next? The next step is transforming that plain, mundane dorm room into a place you’ll be proud to call your home away from home.
