Whether we like to admit it or not, our personal environments do influence us. As we’re exposed to it on a daily basis, elements of our environments do affect us even while we’re engaged in other activities. Subconsciously, their elements get ingrained in us, affecting our moods, behavior, and even productivity. These personal environments are often extensions of our own personal selves. So, it’s always a good idea to personalize them to our likings. However, you don’t have to splurge a lot of money in doing so. Here are some pocket-friendly hostel room decor ideas.
Bedding
The bed is not only a space for comfort and rejuvenation but a big empty space that’s almost like an empty canvas for an artist. All kinds of low-cost blankets and pillow covers exist online just a push of a few buttons away. Find ones that suit your personal style and be tucked in every night immersed in your own choice of style.
Lighting
Something as simple as LED strips and fairy lights can instantly transform a room into something almost magical. A lot of these lights aren’t expensive, and hostel room decor ideas are incomplete without mentioning altered lighting.
Greenery
Indoor plants can totally change the vibe of a room, introducing a calming and peaceful element to the space within the walls of your hostel room. Even though they may require some degree of care and maintenance, there’s no better kind of hostel room decor ideas than lifeforms themselves, and plants are perfect for this situation, and a lot of them are very pocket-friendly. You can buy them online or visit a nearby nursery and take your pick.
Wall decor
While you may not always be allowed to drill nails into the hostel walls, there are ways to decorate those big empty spaces without damaging them. Use removable wall decals, washi tape, or stick-on hooks to display posters, art prints, or your favorite photos. One underrated inclusion to your hostel room could be a vision board. As long as you’re exposed to visuals of your goals on a daily basis, you go steps closer to manifesting them. All of these are budget-friendly and can greatly transform your room.
DIY and upcycling
The ultimate cost effective decor for your hostel room is when you get creative and make things yourself. It’s possible to turn simple household items into works of art just by following instructions that can be found anywhere online. If done right, you’d be amazed by how easy, beautiful, and personally satisfying engaging in DIY projects can be.
