Whether you are living in a dorm or apartment, decorating a room is one of the most complicated and stressful parts about transitioning to a new space. If you're moving to a dorm/apartment from your hometown, you might want your own space to be as cozy and comfortable as possible. It is possible to create a cozy space for yourself, while also saving money on what you're buying. Here are a few tips on how to achieve this.

1. Tapestry

Most rooms have huge, blank walls which make the whole room look dull and boring. You want your own living space to have patterns and decoration, so a tapestry is the best option. I ordered mine offline for a very cheap price, and it covers an entire wall of my apartment room.

2. Light the room

No one ever wants to sit in a dark room, so adding some extra light to it can improve it a ton. I always buy Christmas lights, or cheap fairy lights online to hang around my room. They add a cozy feeling to the room, and they don't make the room look as dull.

3. Scents

Most dorms aren't allowed to have candles, but there are many other options to make your room smell good without using a type of fire technique. My personal favorites are scent plug-ins that you stick into an outlet in your room, and the scent travels all around. It's a perfect way to make your room how you want it to, and remind you a bit of home with the scents you chose.

4. Pictures

Hanging up pictures of friends/family is a great way to make your room more comfortable. It gives you a little feeling of back home, and they make your room more personalized. Adding pictures of the people you know to your room makes you realize all the memories you had with them back home, and all the new ones you're about to make this year.

5. Comfort

Comfort is the number one tip for completing any type of room. Without comfort, you will never want to be in your room at all. Some ideas for making a room more comfortable is adding a couple pillows and blankets to the top of your bed, so you always have an area to lounge around.

Decorating a new room is not easy. It takes time and a lot of effort, but it can be done. With the correct tools and ideas, you can transform your room into a comfortable and cozy living space. This can be done with a few cheap ideas, and a couple tips on creating your new bedroom. Don't be afraid to try a couple of these ideas for your bedroom, because they might help you in the long run!
