If you're signing a lease or sub-letting a new apartment, you want to make your new place feel like it's truly yours. Here are a few ideas to decorate and organize your new home.
1. A picture board
A simple but cute way to display several pictures together. Use mini clothes pins and string to hang the pics with and decorate your board however you want.
Buy it on Amazon.
2. Lights
These can be your basic white Christmas lights or something a fancier such as small lantern lights. Whatever you choose these will instantly spruce up your room and offer a dimmer lighting than your normal house lights.
Buy them on Amazon.
3. A 'Where am I?' board
This is good if you have roommates. Some possible ideas are class, my room, sorority house, work, or any other place you may frequent. This is helpful so that your roommate know not to call when you're in class.
Buy it on Amazon.
4. Office cart
If you have limited space in your room or study area a cart is a great way to save space. You can put your printer, papers, pens and pencils, books, and whatever else you need to save room.
Buy it on Amazon.
5. Calendar and writing board
Hang a calendar and chalk/white/cork board in a common area. This helps keep your and your roommates organized. Add events in on your calendar and use the other board for grocery lists and other things you need.
Buy it on Amazon.
6. A key holder
As someone who constantly loses their keys, this is something I definitely need. Customize these with your initials to keep up with which is yours.
Buy it on Amazon.
7. Coffee mug holder
These are helpful if you have several mugs yourself or between your roommate(s).
Buy it on Amazon.
8. Canvas paintings
These can be super fun to paint and turn out so cute. Spend some time with your roommate(s) and DIY a couple of these together. Check Pinterest for some cute ideas to paint.
Buy blank canvases on Amazon.
9. To-do clipboard
Divide a clipboard up into daily and weekly to-dos. Write the chores on clothes pins and put them on the to-do side. After they are done move them over to the done side to keep up with what is finished.
Buy a clipboard on Amazon and DIY the rest.
10. Cube shelves
These are great to use because usually you can't put holes in the walls. These stand up on their own and can be great for storage or to use as a TV stand. Put picture frames in the clots or storage bins for holding those random items.

These are just a few ideas to try when decorating your new place. Find one you like and give it a try.
