Transition from a dorm to an apartment

Moving in to your first apartment is an exciting time, but it can also be stressful as you figure out how to furnish it. Read on to find out more about our tips and tricks for finding your style and making it work within your budget.

Cut the clutter. Moving is a great opportunity to cut the clutter and get organized. Before you move into your new place, get rid of things you know you won’t use and try and organize the rest.

Don’t budge on the budget. Don’t go into debt trying to decorate your apartment. Make a budget and stick to it. You can slowly accumulate the pieces and accessories you need over time. Make a list of what you need and then put it in order of priority. Check off things as you get them.

Invest in key pieces. Buy furniture that you know will last you a while.  Look for quality pieces that you can keep for years. One thing that many college students need when they move out of their dorm is a bed. Don’t skimp on a cheap mattress, and look for a durable bed frame in a style that you like.
