This is the time of the year when dorm room and new-apartment craziness is in full swing! As in, avoid the home sections of Target and TJMaxx at all costs unless you want to be with every young person and their mother. To be honest, I’m kind of thankful to have graduated from college in May so that I won’t have to go through that again every single year of my life! I spent so many days crafting “inspiration boards” for my dorm room decor on Pinterest and then later, my apartment decor at college (this is what’s wrong with me.) Even though decorating a room/new home can be really fun, it’s also stressful when you’re young and feel like you don’t have that much money to spend . I have a secret to share with you: It’s still possible to make things look the way you want without breaking the bank! If you’re on the home decor hunt right now, I’m sharing some affordable apartment style (+ dorm room style!) finds today.
I’ve had several people ask me lately where I would suggest shopping for cute/affordable home decor. My go-to stores are Home Goods, Target, TJMaxx, & World Market. I really like ordering things online because it lets you avoid the in-store craziness. I actually took all of the photos in this post at my local Home Goods store just to find some inspo for you. Underneath each photo there are links to very similar items available online that are great starting points for shopping! Let me know if you’re looking for something specific that’s not listed in this post. I’d love to help source it for you!
