For the past four years you've based all of your decorating decisions on one question; is it cheap? I get it, you're in college; ain't nobody got time for expensive decorations. Unfortunately though, that's not how it works in the real world. You can't just decorate your house with those free posters they give out on campus or the furniture you find on someone's curb; you actually have to be tasteful. Now, I'm not saying go and blow your first paycheck at Ikea. I don't care where you shop, just stop using the decorations on this list.
1. Empty Alcohol Bottles
And if you were wondering, this is even more depressing. There is nothing classy about your 10-dollar bottle of wine. Go find some real decorations.
2. Tapestries
1 of 2 things could be going on here. Either this is a tent disguised as a bedroom or the heater is broken and the tapestries are helping to keep in all of the remaining warmth. Either way this is not okay after you graduate college. In the adult world we don't build forts to go to bed. As for the heater, sometimes shit happens. I applaud their effort to stay warm.
3. Posters
There are so many things wrong with this picture. Who hangs a poster like this? It's time to start framing and leveling your art. If you have to tilt your head at a 90 degree angle to look at something, chances are it's not straight.
4. Street Signs
I understand that whoever made this sign was basically asking people to steal it, but that doesn't meant you actually have to steal it. Street signs can be cool decorations, but you know what can be even cooler; actually arriving at your destination, because some street youth hasn't stolen the road sign. I know growing up is hard, but do us responsible adults a favor and go find some decorations that don't hinder the safety of everyone on the road.
5. Plastic Drawers
For anyone still using these after college, I have one question for you: why? These were literally the worst. Who wants see through drawers? I understand that in college these are great for trying to fit as much as you can in your small cubicle of a room, but as an adult this looks like you just went to Walmart and decorated your room using only their storage section.
6. Paint Samples
I really feel like I shouldn't have to put this on the list, but guess what here it is; paint samples do not belong in your room after college. A lot of adults go to Home Depot and we've all seen the paint aisle. We also know that paint samples are free. Now, I bet you're thinking "Oh, great how do I decorate now?" Here's an idea, Instead of spending an hour discretely stuffing every shade of every color ever created in your pocket, why don't you pick one color, buy some paint, and go put that on the wall.
7. Dry Erase Board
Imagine if adults had dry erase boards on their front door. It's creepy. Throw these away. If you really need to get in touch with someone why don't you try texting them?
