Tv stand
A simple tv stand like this one can transform your whole living room. it’s great for placing your games if you play and decoders. adding a few decor pieces on it as well can make it even better.
Couch
What’s a living room without a couch? couches come in different shapes and sizes. it’s really up to you to decide the one you want depending on your space and taste.
Tv
Tv is a must-have. even if you’re someone that does everything on their laptop, you will still need a tv for movie night. or when you feel like watching your favorite shows on a bigger screen. there are so many tv companies but the ones from LG and Samsung are amazing.
Coffee table
this is not exactly necessary but having a coffee table in the middle of your living room can make you feel bougie. When you buy one like this one, you have space underneath to keep other things like books which will always be great.
Lamps
if you’re someone like me that doesn’t like bright lights, the lamps will be your best friend. a great standing lamp with adjustable lighting will always be recommended here.
Throw pillows
am I the only one that loves throw pillows? I don’t think so. throw pillows on the couch are amazing. first, they make your couch prettier, and then they are great for cuddles or taking a nap.
Blankets
a good blanket like this one for those rainy chilly days. *adds to cart*
Wall arts
Please don’t be the boring college student with blank walls. add a little bit of spice to it. Decorate it to your taste. If you need some decor ideas, then read this post (it will open in a new tab so don’t worry, you won’t be interrupted), Adding a few motivational quotes on your wall can really make a difference in your life. here are some of my favorite:

Rugs
Nothing much to say about rugs but get a rug. your feet will thank you.
Curtains
I spoke about curtains when I was talking about the college apartment bedroom essentials. you need curtains, at least for privacy. I am loving these so far.
Shelf
a wall shelf will come in handy especially when you have so many books. this one right here is so pretty and you can use it to keep other things in case you don’t have books.
Plants
I think I am slowly becoming a plant mom, it all started with a little succulent and now, I have more plants than I imagined. having indoor plants in your space really cleanses the air around you. each breath you take feels crispy and clean and I think that’s how it should be. here are my top 5 indoor plants to consider :
