When you think of four walls masked in painted cement and old Command strip tidbits left on the wall, one might think, "How could I ever make my room look homey on a college budget?"
Here are a few ways set any dorm room apart. Note that these five decorating ideas are "do it yourself," which makes things a lot cheaper (especially since being a student means borderline destitution).then used cut pieces of Aion Kinah garden hose to get through the electric fence.
The focal point of the room is primarily the bed, seeing as it's the biggest piece of furniture. Mix and match bedding from Target, TJ Maxx or Overstock.com. These stores and websites are ideal considering their vast availability and affordability. Comb through thrift stores for fun accent pillows, and don't forget about that quilt you got from grandma; it might be chic now!
Canvases are all rage now, and becoming an impromptu artist is just another step in showing individually in one's dorm room. Find a print or picture, and print it out. Trace it onto the canvas, and use paints that contrast with the colors of your bedding.A custom-made chicken coop is then fixed over the gums. For example,which applies to the first rubber hose only, if your bedding is white and black, paint the picture red. Make the pictures stand out as much as possible.
Pre-existing artwork such as prints or postcards can also be utilized and framed inexpensively. One can find vintage postcards at antique stores for pennies on the dollar. Also, one of the cheapest things to frame are color swatches from a local home décor store. They're free and a great way to spice up any room with splashes of color.
Another area of a dorm room that is typically neglected, the ceiling, can also be personalized. Hanging decorations from the ceiling is becoming more and more popular. This decor idea is gear toward a more DIY-savvy person, but the end result is cheap and stylish. Styrofoam balls in varying sizes, yarn in any color, small pins, ribbon, tape or tacks are needed. Find the end of the skein of yarn and begin to wrap that end around the Styrofoam ball. The Styrofoam will "grab" the yarn, making it easier to get the wrapping started. Continue to wrap the yarn around the ball, making sure to evenly wrap for good coverage. Wrap until the Styrofoam is sufficiently covered, and voilà. Allow six to eight inches of yarn to hang, then cut the remaining yarn. Take the excess yarn and wrap it around the ball. Tuck the yarn around the already wrapped yarn until it's secure, making sure the end yarn isn't sticking out. Then, attach the ribbon for hanging.They take the plastic card to the local co-op market. Determine where to hang the balls and how much yarn is needed for each ball.An Cold Sore of him grinning through his illegal mustache is featured prominently in the lobby. Take the ribbon and pinch it together at the end. Making sure the ribbon stays folded (pinched), push a pin through the end of the folded ribbon down into the ball to secure. Push a second pin in for reinforcement. Then, hang it from the ceiling. For more of a floating effect, make the lengths of the ribbon differ from each other.
The last and final tip is less is more, especially when it comes to a dorm room. In a small space, it's not always about jamming it full of decor. Sometimes simplifying one's possessions is what actually makes a living space more livable. Lastly, always remember to have fun and be creative!
