Decorating

color to focus on in a certain room, while others incorporate
themes based on cultures.
“The theme for my room is multicultural, with different
countries, like China, India, Africa and Hawaii,” sophomore
Allison Prasad said. “I enjoy different cultures, and I am an
ethnic studies major, so everything in my room expresses
who I am.” Some of her favorite items in her room include a
purse, a throw rug and pajamas from India, a Chinese calen
dar and some Hawaiian leis.
“Each wall in my room has the things from each culture,
so everything I love surrounds me,” she said.
Students also don’t have to visit expensive interior design
businesses to be creative. Places like dollar stores, thrift
stores and garage sales can have exactly what people may
need — and what fits their budget.
“For those of us who can’t afford making the change, there
is always the option I take. Other people’s trash can defi
nitely create a treasure for your home,” senior Abolade Ma
jekobaje said. “Finding treasures at garage sales is half the
luck. I don’t feel like I am much of a decorator; if I have a
dollar, and a certain piece is a dollar and it matches my
house, I buy it.”
Majekobaje said she has found items such as a broken
globe, which she’s had since she’s been in college, that mean
a lot to her.
Pictures can also bring a sense of home to an apartment,
and frames can help fill blank spaces on white walls. Senior
Omelina Orak said she tries to have at least one picture of
each person she cares about in her house.
“I want to be surrounded by people I love in my room and
throughout my house,” Orak said.
Small things like candles can also make a difference for
people who don’t have time to do the research and the buy
ing involved in complex interior design.
"For those of us who can't afford making
the change, there is always the option I
take. Other people's trash can definitely
create a treasure for your home. Finding
treasures at garage sales is half the luck."

“Colored candles complement the room and smell good,”
Orak said. “I like to have solid colors and complementary
colors to tie the room together.”
Students can also get ideas from other sources and impro
vise in their decorating. Television shows, such as “Trading
Spaces” on the Learning Channel, “Crib Crashers” on MTV
or “You’re Invited” on the Style network, can set off ideas for
their houses and tell them where to shop. Magazines can
also teach people some tricks of the trade in interior design.
“I like to use magazines for ideas around the house,” sen
ior Lisa Wanjala said. “I look for magazines with special arti
cles on decorating. I really like articles that explain how you
can fix something or change something simply by adding
fabrics or coverings to furniture, for example.”
