Your college experience relies greatly on where you live while attending the University of Georgia at Athens. It also can even be impacted by how you are decorating your college apartment. Whether you are living on your own or with roommates, here are some tips.
Make Use of Plants When Decorating your College Apartment
Potted or hanging plants can add an air of sophistication to your space. Even a simple, small green fern placed on a table can add a bit of warmth and a natural feel to your college apartment.
Make Workspace Comfortable
Learning is part of your job while attending college. Make sure you have appropriate space to do it comfortably. Create a work area that gives you the room, lighting, and atmosphere conducive to studying. This includes a comfortable office chair.
Make Photos A Part of Decorating your College Apartment
Framed photos of those closest to you can serve as an inspiration and as a way to personalize your space. Before heading off to college, take the time to choose, print and frame some family and friend favorites.
Personalize…to a Point
Sure, you finally have your own space and you have the right to decorate as you choose, but be careful not to overdo it. Be cautious about decorating too much in a theme that reflects your favorite movie, book, pro sports team or superhero.
You Don’t Need Expensive Artwork
There are lots of ways to decorate walls without expensive artwork. A large world map, poster, flag, and the college team logo are just a few. You can also use shelving to decorate and add surface space.
Garage Sales Can Be Your Friend
You never know what kind of unique items you can find at garage sales and flea markets that can add flair to your space. From knick knacks to wall hangings you can find decorative items for pennies on the dollar, and the hunt can be fun!
