Taking down Christmas

Fairy lights & flowers

Spring is all about flowers blooming, sunshine and rainbows (well maybe not exactly from the start if you live in Texas, but it’s coming y’all). Our favorite way to repurpose our fairy lights from our Christmas tree is to intertwine them with some fake flowers that we can find from Walmart, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or even the dollar store! The flowers will bring a little color into your room and will make your little space feel more cozy.

Decor Pillows

With all this rain Houston is bringing us, we would love to just snuggle up with some extra pillows in the morning before our 8ams until we absolutely need to go get ready for class! Pillows are the easiest way to add some pizzazz to your rooms. Target has adorable pillows that will make your room feel chic and homey. Sewing a pillow can also be another alternative if you want a personalized pillow just for you. These also make a great gift for your roommate or friends!

Candles

As much as we want to keep our gingerbread cookies and vanilla bean noel candles lit all year long, we have to trade them in with some of our spring candles. Candles can be quite expensive, but places like Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and Ross have good quality candles that will have your entire place smelling like heaven!

Books

Book stores like Half Priced Books and Recycled Books have novels from all types of genres that you can add to your coffee tables or desks that will not only turn out to be a great read but will also add an aesthetic touch to your rooms. Our favorite books to display are books that strike our interests such as art, photography, museums, fashions, etc.

Art prints

Our favorite way to change up our rooms is to add some dope prints to our walls and frames! There are so many talented and amazing artists out there that create breathtaking prints that can make your room go from dull to glam! Etsy and Instagram are the perfect place to find freelance creatives that showcase their art to the world. Supporting our fellow peers should always be something we look forward to doing!

We hope one of these gave you some idea on how to spice up your room for spring semester!

Plants

Adding greenery to any room always brightens up the area. Bamboo plants or small succulents are the best way to change the vibe from winter to spring! Small plants are very easy to find at places like Target, HEB, or even Ikea. Adding them to your window sills, nightstands, or desk will definitely make your room feel fresh and ready to conquer the new semester!
