Between picking a home style and finding things you can afford, decorating your first apartment can seem overwhelming. Luckily, you have seasoned postgrad to help you out!

Lets start with the basics:
1. Small accents add character and are affordable
2. Pillows are an easy way to add a statement to a room, try mixing and matching patterns.
3. PLANTS! they are pretty, cheap, and very chic. Look out for succulents and air plants.
4. Rugs tend to be expensive, but if you can find a good deal, they really tie the room together.
5. Candles work three fold, they smell nice, set a relaxing mood, and look pretty. Even prettier when they are starting to burn down.
