3) Use a cool trunk for an ottoman and storage.

If you’re trying to keep that cool dude vibe and don’t want to sport one of those cute cube shaped ottomans that your mom got you at Target, then think outside of the box. Using an old trunk or case can easily do the trick and gives off some serious style points without even looking like you tried!

5. Simple storage.

If you like to keep your room plain and simple, that’s cool too! Adding a touch of color through storage bins or some modern flair with metal furnishings will instantly do the trick!

6. Turn your notes and reminders into wall decor.

If you don’t want to actually decorate your room, then don’t. Something as simple as a corkboard or chalkboard bulletin board will give off some pizzazz while still remaining totally functional and practical. You can buy a corkboard/whiteboard or corkboard/chalkboard combo or you can even create a DIY board!

Nothing says home like some comfy bedding. Opting for a jersey style comforter and sheet set is the way to go. It’s so soft, you’ll never want to leave your bed.
