7 Tips All Broke College Girls NEED To Design A Pinterest-Worthy Room On A Budget

In This Article:

Anyone who has Pinterest has a room design board that embodies what they wish was their actual room.

But, just because you are balling on a budget doesn't mean you have to miss out on having the room aesthetic that you want. Here are some ways you can create that dream bedroom without breaking the bank.

Who knows, you might be tempted to put your own room on Pinterest after trying these budget-friendly hacks.

1. Thrift Thrift Thrift 

I have found some of the best room decors at thrift stores. Things like wicker baskets that can be used as wall decor or for storage are the easiest finds. Thrift stores also have the coolest mirrors that can become a huge staple piece in your room.

2. Get Crafty 

Get artful and repurpose your items.

Repurposing items is so fun because you get to make them your own. You don't have to be a master crafter to do this. Buy a wooden dresser, nightstand, or makeup table from a thrift store and buy a paint color that will match the aesthetic of your room. Sand the piece of furniture down, paint it, and put a finish on it. Now you have a repurposed piece of furniture that looks and feels brand new.

This works for wall decor, too. Buy some picture frames, take the glass and back out, paint the frames fun colors, and attach a string to the back of the frame. Before you know it, you have some fun and funky wall decor.

3. Use What Nature Gave You 

Dried flowers and leaves make the cutest and unique wall decor. Seriously, get some flowers or leaves, dry them out, and use tape to attach them to the wall. Super simple, and now you have a lovely boho chic flower wall.

4. Craft Stores Are Your Best Friend 

Go to your local craft store and buy a few branches of fake leaves. Get some twine and cut it to your desired length. Take the leaves off of the branches and hang them on the twine using clothespins. Now you have a beautiful leaf garland at a very cheap price. Craft stores can be your best friend when it comes to getting creative with room decor. Pro tip: don't forget to use coupons.

5. The Little Details Count

You don't need to spend a ton of money on command hooks to hang everything up in your room. Using push pins to hang up your decor is simple, cost-effective, and a small way to add more character to your room. But remember to only hang lightweight decor with push pins.

6. Turn To Pinterest 

Seriously though, Pinterest has the best ideas and will walk you through any DIY project.

Anything and everything you might want to do with your room, Pinterest will tell you how to do it all, and how to do it on a budget. You can simply look up "room design on a budget" and a ton of pins pop up of some really awesome low budget design hacks.

7. When In Doubt, Go To Home Goods 

When you can find absolutely nothing of what you want at the thrift store, go to Home Goods. Home Goods has the cutest home decor, for a pretty decent price. Just be careful, because it will add up fast.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
