It is very rare, if ever, that you find a luxurious college apartment. These are designed to serve a purpose and there are no extras. They can be grubby, dingy, cramped, run down, or all 4 if you’re very unlucky!
So what can we do to make it feel more like a home and less like a dump? There are a couple of things to instantly transform it.
A good clean and a lick of paint will instantly life the place, and there is only one thing you need to buy to make it more homely, and that is an area rug. This will hide that grubby carpet that you know no amount of scrubbing will make clean.
This will be the finishing touch to your new, clean apartment which will look nothing like the dump it was a week ago.
Even if your apartment hasn’t got a carpet, it will more than likely have tiles or lino as these are harder wearing. These will invariably be unattractive as well as being very cold to walk on. So your rug will bring warmth to your apartment.
Have a good look around at the area rugs on offer before you make your final decision; remember you will be living with it for quite a while. You can get traditional designs is muted colors, or really bright ones that will bring an otherwise plain room very much to life.
An area rug is quite simply the easiest and most versatile way to decorate your college apartment. The best bit is that should you move you just roll it up and take it with you. I know students who have bought a good quality area rug when they first started college and they still had it when they graduated. It’s amazing the difference one new piece can make, so make sure that piece is an area rug.
