» How to Decorate Your College Apartment For Cheap
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite parts about moving into a new place is buying all kinds of decorations. With that being said, this blog is dedicated to finding cheap decorations for furnish your East Lansing Student Apartment.
First and foremost, before you get out there and make your purchases you have to decide on a theme. If you can’t decide on a theme or have so many ideas you can’t narrow it down, I like to look at magazines or use my friend Google to finalize my vision for my new home.
The next step is finding things to not only fit your theme but fit your budget. Try checking out your neighborhood yard sale, antique malls, flea markets, or thrift stores to find the best deals.
If your budget is a bit flexible you can still find a great deal at local department stores. I personally love shopping at Target. Target has a great selection of dorm room or MSU apartment decor that you are sure to love.
Another one of my favorite places is IKEA. I love IKEA. The best part is I no longer have to travel to Chicago to go to IKEA. A store recently opened in Canton, Michigan which is only about an hour drive from your Chandler Crossings Apartment. If you are a first timer to IKEA. I would plan an entire day to get lost in their warehouse of decor. They have everything. Seriously. They even have an amazing food court. One of my favorite parts about shopping at IKEA is enjoying their 50 cent hot dogs. They are delicious.
You can pretty much find everything you will need to furnish your East Lansing Apartment at IKEA. Don’t believe me? Check out the store or visit them online. They are awesome.
Those are just a few of my favorite bargain stores. If you have a store that you love to pick up cheap decorations at please share them. I am always looking for a new place to shop.
Have fun decorating!
