IKEA Hacks For Every Room In Your House

IKEA Hacks

Being in my mid-twenties, I’m right smack in the middle of still having a bunch of the furniture I moved out with (aka hand me downs and good old IKEA).

Now having my own place for quite a while now, I’ve been on the hunt to slowly start updating my furniture more towards my style and away from the typical college student set-up (I’m lookin’ at you black-brown).

When I mentioned slowly updating, I meant slow. It’s been well over a year of getting new furniture and I’ve gotten maaaaybe 4 pieces. With many more to go.

Furniture is expensive man!

It’s not easy to justify dropping hundreds on a new kitchen table when you’re still trying to establish your career and you’ve got bills to pay (and other fun things to do).

At Home Date Ideas

With the winter chill keeping you indoors, and the lack of bills in your wallet, it’s getting harder and harder to get out to go on a date.

It can definitely get expensive to go out for dinner, to the movies, or play a round of mini golf – I get it. With bills to pay and a savings to build, it makes it hard to get some special one on one time with your special person.

But! You can still get that special time right at home. I know it may not seem so special, but I’ve gathered some fun things to do at home to still spend that quality time with your one and only.

So whether it’s Valentine’s Day, or just a regular night, these ideas are great for spending some time with your person. For more at-home activities (that sometimes can include friends!) check out these rainy day activities!

Home Look Nicer on Budget

We all scroll through the beautiful Insta feeds filled with these gorgeous homes, perfect decorating and immaculate style – how do people actually live in places like that!? (and afford it!?)

A lot of the time those photos are perfectly curated specifically for a photoshoot – sometimes they really are just sets and not lived in homes. And sometimes people are just loaded enough to have that nice of a home (kudos to them!)

But the rest of us over here (ahem us twenty-somethings) can’t quite afford those lavish homes, uber expensive furniture and the ability to actually paint the walls (hello renter probs). After all, many of us are just now getting out on our own for the first time!

Being young and still working on rising up to a solid income, I totally get not being able to afford all the gorgeous home decor items your heart desires. And not being able to afford a 4 bedroom brand new house – it’s just not realistic coming right out of college or high school.

Holiday, Lifestyle

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to get some decor inspiration!

Though Valentine’s isn’t one of those holidays I go all in for, I love to add in the pops of pink and red to celebrate a little bit (I kinda love holidays).

Since the holiday is all about LOVE, my main focus is always on spending some time spreading the love to all those near and dear to me.

Spice up your home with these fun little touches (without going overboard!) to send yourself the reminder to always spread kindness and love to those around you. Chocolate is nice too.
