Moving out of home is undeniably scary and most usually expensive for us youngins' so we need to be interior savvy.
While you might find some great pieces on Ebay and the trading post shipping can become an issue for students without a car.
In Australia Ikea is by far the
cheapest place for new and unused modern furniture. I think getting
through the day with nice furniture actually helps you study/work harder
so if you have extra money saved up, why not spend it on furniture
rather than a new dress?
The quality isn't great but it's
decent. Before you say 'Oh but thats what you pay for with the low
prices,' well, not really. Friends have told me once you disassemble it
it's never the same even after a few months. For $100 I'd like a little
bit more quality please since I know for sure in Indonesia, which
happens to be our closest neighboring country, Ive found the same item's
at $15. Surely shipping couldn't be that much more and if job cuts were
an issue in Aus maybe those conversing kids in the bedding section who
didn't spare a minute to help me shouldn't be there. Just saying.
Ive searched major department stores
from Kmart to David jones and believe me, Ikea beats them in price and
value when you consider for a young persons' budget.
My sheet set (the blue one on the
right) with the duna cover and 4 pillow cases was only $15 from Ikea.
The pillows were $8 each, also from ikea and duna $25, Target.
To be honest my mum has a few duna sets
and quilts from Sheridan starting from $700 up to the thousand and from
personal experience, the expensive sheets at home make me sleep just as
well as my totalled $64 bedding set.
Cutlery is by far the cheapest in Kmart with cute bowls and mugs for $2 and my trusty toaster for $9.
