It's that time of the season! Pumpkin spice has taken over, so you have got to get your apartment in the festive season as well. My roommate and I did these things to spice up our apartment:
1) Add some decorative pumpkins to your coffee table or as a centerpiece. You can buy them pre-decorated, or buy a wooden one to paint yourself from Hobby Lobby.
2) Fall-themed flowers are a tasteful yet festive addition to any room. To create your own, fill a mason jar or vase with straw and arrange fake flowers of your choice in it. Dollar Tree actually has a great selection of fake flowers.
3) Gel window stickers are a simple way to change your apartment style with minimal effort. Leaves are great for fall, but Halloween stickers are sure to scare your suite mates.
4) Fake spider webs add some spooky flare during October. You can get a bag at Dollar Tree for $1 with enough web for the whole apartment... if you want to get that crazy.
5) Drape some twinkle lights around your curtain rod or lamps. Around October, stores usually sell orange or purple lights for the Halloween season.
6) Make DIY leaf magnets. Go outside to pick your favorite fallen leaves, then laminate them. Cut the leaves out and glue magnets on the back, then put them on your fridge! If you aren't that creative, order these off of Amazon.
7) Burn a fall-scented candle. Or if your apartment doesn't allow candles, melt it on a candle warmer.
8) Lastly, if you live in a dorm, go all out and decorate your door. Go with a autumn theme, or scare your neighbors with some Halloween gore.
