This post is all about cheap college apartment furniture!
Going from the dorms to a college apartment is SO exciting but can be really expensive. Especially when you don’t know where to look for cheap furniture but lucky for you, we have compiled a full list.
Some apartments come fully furnished so make sure you ask your apartment complex. If they do, our favorite trick for dealing with ugly furniture in a college apartment is to use contact paper. We recommend this one from Amazon.
16 Cheap College Apartment Furniture That Looks Expensive
1. Sofa’s
Sofas can range from a couple of hundred dollars to thousands and in college, you want as cheap as you can get. These two below are cheap but also good quality. I have the first one – it was easy to assemble and super comfy.
If you need a couch cover, we love this one!
2. coffee tables
Another furniture item you will need for your college apartment is a coffee table/living room table. These both are under $100 and we linked two different options.
3. TV Stands
Many people belive that TV stands are expensive and most are but not all. The two below are from Amazon and less than $200.
4. throw pillows
Throw pillows are a must-have either for decor or comfort. They can make your apartment feel homey and your couch way more comfortable. Depending on your color scheme, buy the pillows that match!
5. curtains
Do you have a large window in your living room that you have been searching for a curtain for? Here is your sign to buy one. This one on Amazon comes in many different colors with the same high quality. We recommend you get ones that barely touch the floor so it won’t collect dust!
