Curtains

Succulents

Having some greenery will brighten-up the room. Succulents are a cheap and easy to take care of. You can hang them on your walls or keep some on a shelf.

Jars and Soda Bottles

Whenever you have the opportunity, save cute soda bottles and jars for your room. You can either set them up on a shelf, use them for flowers, or put some lights inside them as a centerpiece.

Display Frame

Whether it's your personal artwork, another artists’, or some postcards and trinkets, show them off by making a collage. For a background, you can use any wooden crate or just use an old empty frame, placing the frame around your collage to set it off.

Mirrors

Mirrors are great for checking yourself before walking off to class, but they are also a useful decorative tool. Hang small or large mirrors on your wall for some shiny decorations to help the space feel bigger.
