Apartment Decor Under $50 for Baddies on a Budget
Whether it's an apartment or a house, decorating your first home away from home is exciting - until you see the cost. Creating a trendy space doesn't have to break the bank, and we at The Edge want to share a handful of affordable items we found to spice up your space.
We understand that your home fills countless roles as your space to relax, study, and spend time with friends. It's important that you love it! Just because you can't empty your wallet for a wall print doesn't mean your apartment can't be stylish, functional, and showcase your personality. While each item on this list may not align exactly with your taste, we hope we can serve up some inspiration!
Each item listed is there because we believe it is affordable, it would look cute in your apartment, and it serves a purpose. That purpose could be to transform your blank wall into a photo op. or just to fill an empty corner!
21"x 64" Arched Full-Length Mirror $34
Who doesn't need a big mirror to take pictures in? Full-body mirrors can get expensive, but this one from Walmart offers functionality and size, and it can be mounted to the wall or just lean.
Upholstered Ottoman $27
This ottoman is the perfect addition to your living room or bedroom. It could be used as extra seating or just somewhere to put up your feet. This piece is the right size to fill that awkward corner in your room (we all have one). It comes in four different colors and it can be easily moved around to fit any space!
Okaxscm Pink Coquette $15
These prints may be small but they have lots of potential! They can be arranged in different ways depending on your preference, or even used separately to spice up any space. Pink is a vibrant pop of color in any room, but this print set also has six variations to choose from.
Glass Mushroom Table Lamp (9") $39
Who really likes overhead lighting, especially the fluorescent bulbs in college apartments? This lamp solves that problem. Despite its compact size, this lamp shines bright enough to transform your space. The subtle designs and fun shape give this piece a sleek look in every color. This lamp is toad-ally adorable and would be the perfect addition to the nightstand listed above!
Sunflower-shaped Rug $24
While H&M doesn't typically come to mind for home decor, this sunflower rug was a pleasant surprise! This rug is a wonderful way to give your neutral-tone floor a pop of color next to your bed or in your living space.
Oversize Diah Poly Chenille Square Floor Pillow $37
Instead of buying another large piece of furniture, a few of these pillows can transform your floor space and give you extra seating options. They are easily moveable, comfortable and come in six colors to match any color scheme!
