Hey, I'm Nostalgia and welcome to Declarior Style. Today I'm going to show you how to transform your college bedroom using IKEA products and merge your sense of style with your roommates. Let's go get fancy with $500. I started vlogging about four years ago, just so I could have some sort of creative outlet. I really enjoy vlogging about DIY and decor because it gives me a chance to express my personality. I know what it's like to have a roommate with a totally different sense of style, but I overcame it and you can too. Let's go check out the space and see what we have to work with. Now this room seems to be quite a design challenge. Plain furniture, bland walls, no color, not a lot of space, and it's a roommate situation. It looks like we've got one roommate who's a bookworm and into simple colors and the other who's more of a romantic and loves florals. Now we've only got $500, but I know we can give this room the makeover it deserves. The most important part about moving in with someone is getting to know them and getting a really good sense of their style. And shopping at IKEA makes it simple because things come in different pattern, styles, and colors. It makes it really easy to tie two sides of the room together. When moving into a college bedroom, the walls are usually plain and dingy. You're also not allowed to poke holes on them, but wall decals are a really great solution for that because they don't damage the walls. And something as simple as changing the bedding can tie both sides of the room together. Some of the things I looked at were what we could do with the walls, bedding, and decor, picking pieces that both roommates liked, but choosing different colors for each side of the room. This room looks great. I can't believe we did all of this with just $500. The two sides of the room really complement each other. On one side you've got this really pretty floral duvet, and on the other side we decided to keep it a little bit more simple. So this side of the room feels a little bit more romantic and traditional. I wanted to give it more of a modern touch, so drawing off that I added this black and white pillow along with this throw to give it more of a edgy look. This Von Aden lamp is simple and elegant, but still has that modern flair to it. I wanted to give this side of the room more of a feminine touch to match with the floral theme on the other side of the room, so I added some pink and textured elements. The pink and purple pillows complement the duvet really well. This club lamp still has a modern look to it. The pink lamp shade helps create a cozy atmosphere that's perfect for studying or lounging. Removable decals are a great way to combat those bland walls when you're not allowed to paint. IKEA has so many affordable options for college students, so have fun, get shopping, and declare your style.
