Decorating Ideas

• Cheap and Creative Decorations to Bring Your
  Space to Life

2
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.

4
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.

5
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.

6
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.

7
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.

8
Maps

• Wall maps are colorful, cheap, and and scholarly
  in kind of a hip way. Globes are a nice touch as
  well.

9
Sports memorabilia

• If you're a fan, decorate your walls with
  pennants and such. Expensive memorabilia should
  be kept in your room at home.
