Freshman Orientation: Decorating on a Budget

We know college is expensive enough, without throwing in all the extras like food, clothing and décor. Thankfully, designing your dorm room doesn’t have to break the bank. Check out theses thrifty ideas and décor straight from our Real Deals Shoppes and you’ll soon be on your way to creating your own fabulous style.

Pick a Color Any Color

Choose a color (or colors) and use it as a way to brighten up you space. This could be something as simple as vibrant frames for your pictures or a small piece of furniture, like our brightly colored side tables for $29.99.

Vintage Vixen

Grab a can of Plaster Paint and get to work, that’s all your gonna need for this look. Try your hand at repainting some thrift store furniture to give it that old school look. Pair it with some cream accents like vintage candles sticks or bright floral arrangements.

Graphic A-Go-Go

Punch it up a notch with this poppy look! Bright colors and graphic statement pieces (like large retro signs and brightly colored lamp shades) are a perfect compliment to this style.

World Traveler

Globes and maps make this look easy to create. Pick up any of our unique globes and hang up your favorite pictures from your extensive trips around the world (or hey, even neighborhood!)

The Classic Man (or Woman)

Think dark industrial tones, like dark browns, greys and metallics. While this look may usually make you think “expensive,” you can easily achieve a more refined look with a few vintage leather bound books (or storage books) and a few classic bobbles (like our metal armillary sphere or glamorous candlesticks.)
