  1. How to Decorate Your Off-Campus Housing on a Budget

  2. The chance to make your living space truly your own is one of the great things about living in off-campus student housing in Peterborough. Students moving into new apartments have little money to spend on luxuries, but (at the very least) you need to decorate the place to make it feel like home. However limited your budget, there are things you can do.

  3. 1. Focus on the Floor Rugs are a great way to add comfort to your home. Plus, you can find them in any design and colour imaginable, which makes them an excellent choice for expressing who you are. Best of all, though, is that when you purchase cheap rugs, they’ll provide protection for your floor. This can help you avoid stains and other damage to the flooring, lowering the risk that you lose your security deposit.

  4. Some places to have a rug include under your desk to keep your feet warm while you study, next to the kitchen and bathroom sinks, and in any areas that experience heavy foot traffic.

  5. 2. Invest in Multipurpose Furniture It is difficult to find furnished apartments for rent in Peterborough. Students who aren’t lucky enough to snag a place with furniture should consider buying multipurpose items. For instance, a futon is ideal if you want both a bed and a couch in your room. An ottoman is useful for storing small items and also having a seat.

  6. 3. Hang Homemade Art Avoid wasting your money on expensive artwork. Instead, make your own or ask one of your artistic friends to create something for you. There’s no need for homemade art to be anything spectacular. A collage of photos or a simple painting is ideal. Alternatively, you could hang something on the wall that you already have, such as a silk scarf or a flag.

  7. 4. Decorate Your Bookshelf As a college student, you’re going to need a bookshelf. Just remember, bookshelves are not just for books — they are also ideal for holding personal belongings that say something about you. Use your bookshelf as a place to display trinkets or make it more functional by storing attractive items like hats, purses, or perfumes.

  8. You can save money on decorating by finding a place that already feels like home. Severn Court offers students fully-furnished suites, equipped with everything you need. All that’s left is to add a few finishing touches to infuse the place with your personal style.
