As promised, Her Campus Duke is sharing more ideas to spruce up your room for a new look in the new year.
Â
The easiest way to make your room to feel more like home and less like a jail cell is to cover those white walls! Here are a few cheap and simple ways to decorate the walls of your room and add personality to your space.
Â
Construction Paper
Â
Simple, easy, and less than $5 from your local office supply store. Just tape the construction paper to your wall, using whatever color scheme matches the items already in your room. You don’t have to paint the wall before the end of the school year, and it shouldn’t take you more than an hour to put up.
Try some different designs and share them with Her Campus Duke!
Â
Wrapping Paper
Â
You’ll probably need a helping hand for this project, but the application is the same. Just tape the wrapping paper to the wall and it becomes instant wallpaper—just much easier and much cheaper! Make sure you’ve measured the wall first so you know how many rolls to buy. These sites have adorable designs:
- Lilly Pulitzer does wrapping paper!
- Paper-source.com has so many great patterns, here are a few of my favs: (Pool Daisy, Flora and Fauna, Red Birds, Tweets)
Did you find a great pattern? Share it with other Her Campus Duke readers!
