Being away from home can be hard, especially during the colder months. These five easy adjustments can make your college apartment feel more like home without breaking the bank.
- Lamps
-
Harsh overhead lighting makes a room seem almost industrial. Invest in a few lamps to give your living space a much more welcoming glow.
- Throw Blankets and Pillows
-
It’s amazing what a few accessories can do to brighten up a room! Plain furniture is functional, but by adding a throw blanket and a few pillows your space immediately seems more inviting and comfortable.
- Pictures
-
Plain walls look sterile and uninviting. Having photos and art on your walls changes the atmosphere of your apartment completely. Nothing feels more like home than walking into a room filled with pictures of your friends and family.
- Plants
-
One of the best ways to make your apartment feel cozier is to have some fresh cut flowers in a vase or some potted plants. Having plants brings some life into a room. The simple aesthetic that they bring is an added bonus!
- Candles
-
The subtle glow of a candle instantly makes a room more welcoming, and you can pick the scents you want your home to smell like! Not only do candles smell great, but they easily accessorize a room too!
I hope you find these quick tips useful for making your college apartment feel a little bit more like home!
