Now that I've officially signed the lease for my room, I decided that I could finally add some color to the white wall and brown decor. On Saturday afternoon, I hit all the local stores that I could find to obtain colorful and useful items to make my room a bit more homey. I hit success at two different stories, Woolworth (yes it exists in Germany) and Kik. Woolworth had some basics like a desk organizer and tape but Kik had the best bargains. I found a duvet cover (a blanket that you use to cover a comforter), dishes, candles, and sheets for under 20 Euros. All items are brightly colored to counteract the bland walls. Its amazing how much a difference a simple duvet makes. The first picture was taken before I added the duvet cover.
Even with Bamu and Buster (my travel companions), the bed still looks pretty lonely. The next photo is after I added the sheets and duvet cover.
My room looks completely different! Instead of feeling like a prison cell, it feels like a freshman year dorm room. To decorate the rest of my room I have to think back to college times, how did I make my room homey on a college student budget? I'm open to any suggestions you may have. I have two completely blank walls to fill.
