Even though a lot of people have already forgotten about fall because they are focused on Christmas, there is no better time to decorate your living space for fall! We still have about a month of fall and Thanksgiving season. If you're like me, you want it to feel like fall in your apartment, but you don't want to break the bank. Here are four ways to decorate your place that won't cost an arm and a leg.
1. Fake Leaves
This is a great way to bring the beauty of autumn outdoors into your apartment. You can find these leaves at places like Dollar Tree. Sprinkle them on your coffee table, armoire, or TV stand! This adds an adorable bit of charm to your place.
2. Door Decoration
Several different door decorations can be found at your local Walmart. I have one that says "Count Your Blessings" on top of a pumpkin. I love these because every time you return home, you are reminded of the wonderful fall season! Not only do you get this reminder, but whoever walks down your hall and catches a glimpse of your door gets to experience the same thing.
3. Fake Flowers
I used to be so against fake flowers. I thought they were kind of distasteful--until I had a college budget to work with. My roommates purchased a bunch of fake flowers that are fall themed at Dollar Tree. They have tones of red, yellow, and orange--the most essential fall colors! The great thing about fake flowers is that no one is really paying that much attention to them, but when someone sees them, they instantly bring that fall feeling to the room. We placed ours in a vase on the kitchen table.
4. Fall Themed Lights
Just like most girls, I LOVE decorative lights! I found some fall themed ones at Target. They bring some much-needed warmth to my room. I've placed mine around a fall sign on my armoire. I love to turn these on in the morning when I'm getting ready for class or at night when I'm winding down from the day with a cup of earl grey.
So if you're feeling like you want to jazz up your living space, all you need is a few dollars and a friend to go to the store with! You can use just one of these ideas, or combine them all to bring the fall spirit to you and your roommates.
