Getting your first apartment is one of the many milestones that says, “Yes world, I’m an adult,” even though you’re still mistaken for a highschooler on a regular basis. Now, you have the lease, you have the keys, and you finally have a space you can call your own, despite the many quirks that come with renting an apartment. The only thing you’re missing is the budget to make your pad look like Monica’s and Rachel’s (how did they afford that place anyways?).
These DIY solutions are possible after you’ve paid your rent AND utilities and are easier than screwing in your own light bulbs (although, if you call you landlord for help, we won’t say anything). Get inspired by these budget-friendly decorating tips perfect for every renter.
