Any good decorating tips/websites for first time apartment renters?
Question:My sister, a long time friend and my are all planning to move into a 3 bedroom apartment together. We are all females in the 20-21 age range. I'm looking for websites/and or (online) stores in which we kind find trendy and contemporary styles for living and bedrooms. Any good ideas on affordable stores.I've been looking everywhere and haven't come across anything REALLY good yet. Our living room is going to be navy and a lime/earthy green and white. We are needing furniture for the room so it would be nice if the website sells decor and furniture. PLEASE, SOMETHING REALLY AFFORDABLE, nothing too luxurious and over priced...thanks!

IKEA is always a good option... they have a lot of up and coming contemporary/retro/everything in between... very good prices as well.

try thrift stores... garage sales. swap meets... dollar stores... ... Big Lots. Target... Walmart. K-mart...
u can pick up a lot of different things ther & repaint them or b creative w/ them. Recover pillows/cushions/ repaint frames... repaint the furniture & recover the cushions w/ clearance material from fabric stores... & if u can's sew.. can u IRON? They make this STITCH WITCHERY that u can IRON 2 seams together. Ask u'r fabric stores sales person.
Look at things differently & take placemats for runners/ sew tog. table clothes..bed covers... lamp shades... paint old lamps or decopage over it w/ prints/tissue.. & cover lamp shade w/ material ...
