There’s nothing more exciting than being able to decorate you’re own apartment. From picture frames to lights to color coordinating to personalized towels and everything in between the fun never stops when you get your first apartment.

Here are some easy, adorable decoration ideas for you and your roomie(s) as you take on your new adventure of apartment living!

First idea… Pictures

Who doesn’t love pictures plastered to their wall of their loved ones and most unforgettable memories? And to make it even cuter.. light them up!

Coasters

With your new apartment, I’m sure you’ll be having a ton of guests! So make sure they keep the place clean with this personalized, easy do-it-yourself coasters! You can make them say anything you want!

Reuse That Bottle!

Have any left over bottles? No use in throwing them out, keep them to decorate! Wrap with twine, paint them, or add lights and really give the festive feel!

Keys

Now of course you and your roomie(s) will have plenty of keys whether its for your apartment, your car, your mailboxes and other things so you’ll wanna keep those seperate and right next to the door so you never forget! 

$$$$

Now, with a new rent payment, and having to buy your own groceries and everything else in between for your new home you’ll have a lot of spending to do. And of course you’ll want money for important and fun things so “keep the change” and save up! You’ll need it!

Wreaths

First impressions are everything. So for you and your guests keep it happy and exciting from the minute they reach your door! Make a personalized wreath with either names, intials, or your room number. Make it unique and have everyone know which door is yours. Plus you can always change them each season!

The Many Uses of Mason Jars

With more than one person sharing a bathroom, things can get messy. To keep your stuff organized and in a cute way get some mason jars and decorate them. Have each one for certain things like makeup brushes, tooth brushes, cotton balls, Q-tips and whatever else you have lying around! This way you’ll keep your stuff seperate and organized in the perfect way!

Mason jars are just full of possibilites. Another cute decor idea is a mason jar tissue holder. This makes your room even more personal in the easiest way. 

Mirrors

Let’s face it, we all look in the mirror a lot more than we realize or should. But, make it even more enjoyable with personalizing the edges with flowers, pictures or whatever else will give you a smile as you fix your hair for the millionth time or check your outfit you’ve just changed for the seventh time!

These are all just a few ideas that you can use to make your apartment perfect for you and your friends. There’s limitless oppurtunities and they’re all easy, do-it-yourself, and cheap!!

Take the time to make your first apartment your best one.
