Living alone isn’t always easy. It comes with moments of utter chaos and intense home sickness. But now that you have moved away from home, it’s time to make some changes. To life, your attitude and definitely your room. The warmer the vibes of your new room, the easier it will be for you to settle down. Here are some cheap yet awesome ways to decorate your room when you’re living alone!
1. Brighten it up with natural light!
All it takes is a bright curtain to truly let the sunlight shine in your room. Because after all, is there anything better than natural light? I don’t think so!
POPxo Recommends: Swayam ECO Yellow Curtains (Rs 599)
2. Minimal walls
If you don’t like putting up too many things on your wall, it’s best to leave it completely empty and just add one classic piece to it. It could be a family photo or the poster of your favourite show or artist.
POPxo Recommends: Marilyn Monroe Wall Art (Rs 170)
3. Use your doors
Nothing says home like the sign which says… home! Add this to your bedroom door to create your own little safe haven.
POPxo Recommends: Home Sign (Rs 550)
4. Add lamps that double up as decorations
Let go of the same ol’ lamps and go for one which doubles up as a decorative piece even when it isn’t shining bright!
POPxo Recommends: Decorative Hanging Lamp (Rs 770)
5. Buy quirky mats
You say why quirky mats? We say why not?! Give your drab floors a much-needed fun addition.

6. Decal it up!
Decals are a great yet simple way of doing up your walls. All you have to do is find one which really speaks to your soul.

7. Keep the clutter away
Cleaning up while you live alone is a task and you never seem to find things where you kept them. So get tiny holders for all your tidbits.

8. Add a mood board
This is the best way to keep all your creative ideas and memories in one place. Whether it’s something you thought off after a drunk night or that meeting reminder that you just can’t miss!

10. Framed for life!
In case you wanted to be a little OTT but not too much, multicolored wall frames are the way to go. They decorate your walls and add a little colour. Although, even in monochrome they do the job well.
