You've done it--you're ready to move into your first post-grad apartment! To make your rental more adult-like, avoid the following home decor items that scream collegiate.
Milk crates
Back in your college days, milk crates were perfect for dorm life because you could move things in them and convert them into stackable shelving afterward. Now? It's time to ditch the milk crates for actual storage solutions. Or actual milk.
College sports paraphernalia
You may love your local college sportsball team, but your first post-grad apartment shouldn't be covered in decals and banners celebrating your school days. To show your pride, opt for something unobtrusive like a magnet.
Unframed posters
After moving, the easiest way to turn your well-loved posters into artwork is to frame them before you hang them. So don't even think about taking the easy way out and thumb-tacking posters to the wall.
Twin beds
Upgrade your mattress to something larger than a twin. Don't just throw your new mattress on the floor and call it a day, either--invest in a box spring and bed frame to facilitate a better night's sleep. Bunk beds should also be ditched for obvious reasons.
Dishes and utensils for one
It's time to upgrade to an actual set of dishes, so go for a matching collection. Whether you're dining alone or having guests over, you'll want more than the one plate and solo cutlery you lived off of in college. Bonus: gone are the days of microwave-only living!
Bare windows
Purchase curtains to dress up the sad, boring white blinds that come with your apartment. No need to break the bank on these, all you need is a sturdy rod and some curtains to go on it. |
