Hillcrest Decorating Tips

When you live in an apartment, there is a lot more wall space to decorate than in a dorm room. You sometimes have to get a little creative to keep those walls from being bear. Here are a few suggestions on how to get the job done.

1. Maps: These are a great way to to cover large amounts of wall space. They are also really handy during discussions about geography. This map belonged to my parents.

2. Montages: Another way to fill a big wall is by creating a sort of montage with smaller pictures. It is also a good way to preserve memories. My roommate and I bought two of these prints together when we were in Chicago last summer, and we bought two other ones from The Collaboration Room here in Bloomington.

3. Hanging: I have to credit my roommate for this, but we have a fun hanging decoration that adds a lot of character to our apartment. It is made up of lots of colorful paper circles, and hangs above our living room. It's one of the first things people notice when they walk into the room.
