Hey everyone! Recently I asked you guys what back to school posts you wanted to see and lot of you guys asked for inexpensive dorm and apartment decor/furniture! I have already done two posts like this, but I wanted to share some more decor plus a sneak peak of my room decor! First here are my last two posts I shared!

Post #1 Inexpensive First Apartment Furniture Roundup

This post is a roundup of beds, bed frames, rugs, furniture, decor, etc. that are all inexpensive! I am going to share more decor below because I linked so much furniture in this post!

Post #2 How I Plan my Room decor & Apartment Design Tips on a BUDGET! (+ Help Me Choose my Wallpaper)

This post shows what my old apartment decor looked like, plus I give you great tips on how to buy on a budget!

More Tips for Buying on a Budget!

1. Shop at inexpensive stores!

T.J. Maxx (also Homegoods in store)

Worldmarket

Walmart

Etsy

2. Save on your mattress!

When I was moving I needed to buy all new furniture for my room and the one thing I was struggling with was my mattress. They are SO expensive and I couldn’t figure out how to cut costs. Most mattresses are well over $1000+ so I came up with a different plan. I bought an inexpensive mattress (I went with a queen LUCID mattress for $240, they are the ones that come compressed in a box). Then I splurged on a nicer mattress pad (you can buy good ones for $200-300). This significantly cut my costs and it ended up being so comfy! Everyone that slept over always talked about how much they loved my bed!

3. Don’t buy too much before you move!

This is something I have a hard time with because I like to be prepared, but when you buy before you move you end up with things you don’t need! Instead, only buy the necessities and wait on the extra stuff until you are settled and know what you want!

4. Buy things you will use over and over again!

For the apartment I am about to move into I was trying to decide between a light blue rug and a white one. One of my best friends pointed out the white one is versatile and can be used in my future apartments so that is what I went with! I had a pink one in my last apartment that I didn’t want anymore, so now I am more mindful of buying things I will use for awhile!

5. Sell what you aren’t using!

If you already have furniture and you don’t need it use things like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace to sell them!
