Apartment Upgrade Hacks | Featuring Dormify
I am constantly in a state of "looking to upgrade my decor", so have been trying to find the best hacks to give my room a face lift without breaking the bank. It can get expensive to always want a new look, so I am here to help with some tips and tricks to refresh your apartment style this summer.
One of my favorite websites to go to for apartment decorations is Dormify. I shopped on Dormify a ton throughout college, and find that their style has evolved to keep up with trends while also having great post-grad styles - all fit for a college/post-grad budget.
Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Room
Upgrading your room doesn't mean you need all new furniture. Focus on the decorative accents and you can refresh while staying in budget. My best hacks are to:
De-clutter any-and-everything
Add some decorative pillows
Get new wall art
Add a new rug
Swap out your duvet cover
Leverage twinkle lights
Switch out photos in frames
How I Upgraded My Apartment for Under $150
To upgrade my own room, I did a combination of new throw pillows, storage cubes, and wall decor. For under $150, my room feels fresh and new.
Navy Chenille Knit Tassel Pillow
This pillow is incredibly soft and fits in perfecty with my chabby-chic bedding. I love it for a more grown-up version of the fur pillows I used to use throguhout college. It is an apartment staple that would look great mixed-and-matched with other colors.
Pineapples are the ultimate sign of hospitality and add a little bit of a summer flare to my room. I love the gold foil and velvet combo for a more sophisticated take on the print.
I have way too much stuff for my shoebox of a New York City apartment, so have been trying to re-organize over the past few months. These shelf bins come in sets of two and have been a lifesaver to sort through anything from paper & notebooks to beauty supplies.
We all know I love brunch, so it was only fitting for me to add a brunch club banner to my fung shui. It makes for the perfect subtle-yet-playful wall art, and I smile a little every time I look at it.
