Decorations to Bring
Your Space to Life
Postcard murals
Postcards are cheap, colorful, and
fun. Collect postcards from places
you've been and places your friends
have been and turn them into unique
posters. If you're crafty, create a
postcard mobile.
Throw pillows
There's no better way to add a quick
splash of color and comfort to your
drab room. You can spend a fortune
on designer throw pillows, but don't.
Cheap ones are available just about
anywhere. A big comfortable reading
pillow will come in handy as well.
Window decorations
You probably don't have much of a
view, so why not brighten up the
window? Affix some simple suction
cup decorations, and if you're crafty,
make your own.
Plants
Living things make a room feel much
more like home, and since pets are a
very bad idea, why not get a plant?
Unless you have a green thumb, it's
probably a good idea to stick with
low-maintenance varieties.
Lamps
Fluorescent residence hall lights are
bad for the soul and not good for your
eyes either. Lamp light will make your
room feel much more like a home.
Bookends
One thing you're definitely going to
need is books, right? So why not add
some color to the room with cool
bookends? Awesome bookends can be
purchased at bookstores like Barnes
and Noble, or buy some cheap ones
and decorate them yourself.
Maps
Wall maps are colorful, cheap, and
and scholarly in kind of a hip way.
Globes are a nice touch as well.
Sports memorabilia
If you're a fan, decorate your walls
with pennants and such. Expensive
memorabilia should be kept in your
room at home.
