Decorate his apartment is possible even if you have a small budget! meltyCampus gives you some ideas to give a little cheer to your home!Good Plan: Decorate the studio without breaking the bank!
When we think of her first apartment, we immediately imagine how we will decorate it and we already see walking the IKEA rays frantically filling her cart. When it comes time to move, it's disillusionment. Rent is added the opening of the Internet line, as well as invoices and then we have to buy or rent furniture "necessities" such as a bed, table, chairs or a sofa. Spending accumulate and there remains much in the wallet to decorate his apartment as we had dreamed it a few months ago. But meltyCampus is determined to help you and show you that it's a real opportunity for you! Why buy decorative items that everyone has when you can have very original handmade, just for a few euros and all your friends will envy? Today the editorial 'therefore gives you some ideas -comprenez DIY Do It Yourself - to decorate your home.
1. cans as flower pots
If you're lucky, you will find cans with nice decor without having to touch it. If it does not, do not worry, the simple metallic effect once removed label can offer a nice rendering for a flower pot. You can also fine paint the pot and possibly draw patterns with a black felt then. Do not hesitate to flowerpots with different decorations for even more likely effect when put side by side.
2. From shoeboxes customization to the storage and / or shelves
Rather than throw your shoes boxes, try to customize. You may like to preserves, and then repaint the entire top draw motifs or so, you can also paste the above newsprint. If you have enough boxes (ask friends), you can then make shelves and if this is not the case, we would be still storage space to decorate your apartment.
3. Making his own art-deco style table with an old desk
You have an old pine desk that you no longer use because you bought another or in the case of a friend who wants to get rid? If you do not have a table, this could very well do the trick once customized. For this, some paint cans, newspapers to protect the floor and patience enough. However, we advise you not to do so if your apartment is poorly ventilated or you could poison you. An idea to give new life to your desktop: repaint white (2-3 layers), then use a broad brush to make broad strokes (rather like large commas). For features, we opted for the red and black. We advise you, finally, to repaint the feet of your new black table for good contrast with the white of the table. Do not forget to put one or two coats of varnish to finish to shine and protect all your table! Little tip: if you have the misfortune to stain your floor despite the newspapers, olive oil will undertake to delete it (but depends on the type of paint you have chosen).4. Give new life to vinyl from his father
Your father no longer listens to old vinyl and they drag for years in the attic? They will make very original dishes below once repainted (even without repainting matter!) Or even clocks once added mechanism. Little more if you opt for Deco clocks: make them different time zones and hang every few tens of centimeters along your wall with the name of the corresponding city below each vinyl.5. Make your own mirror
It is often said that the mirrors have the advantage that you enlarge a room. Students can not always afford large apartments, their presence is all the more appreciated. Problem: the mirrors are relatively expensive. So we advise you to try to find an old mirror in a garage sale and put it up to date with golden / silver color bomb part. You can also buy your own frame (a simple) and mirrors tips (some stores sell original shapes). Once all bought, you just have to paint or draw patterns on a white sheet placed under the ice of the frame, glue the different mirrors as you please, and voila!6. Decorate the walls with an array of polaroids or by exposing using small colored claws hooked to a wire along his wall
Photography enthusiasts, express your passion on your walls! As the Polaroids again experiencing success in recent years, we advise you to print a few and hang them using small colored clips to a wire stretched along your wall. Do not hesitate to hang a parallel light string or a second wire with small decorative items like fake flowers or shells. If you're roommate, make sure all the same before your roommate agrees.7. Creating your own candles using containers as glasses or old pots of Nutella
If until now you recycliez your Nutella jars in simple glasses, was a much more original idea for you: make candles! To do this, you simply need to buy wax, wicks and door-locks.
