Since the walls are concrete, anything involving nails or tacks is impossible. Also, we are not allowed to paint the walls. The carpet is short and a boring multicolored blue.

My boyfriend and I just moved here a couple of months ago, and we are having a hard time coming up with decorating ideas. We really don’t want to resort to taping up band posters and making it look like a dorm, although we are college students (19 years old). We also do not have a whole lot of money to work with.

I just want to brighten up the place and add some personality to it. Any ideas about how I can do this with limited resources and funds?
