Here’s how to keep that comfy college feel while..err..graduating to sleeker, more mature style. Keep your posters, add a frame
There’s always room in your life for a cool poster — if you’ve had it since college, all the better — if you lose the scotch tape and class it up in a nice frame. And guitars…those are good anytime. Trade your beer bottle wall in for an understated bar
Nothing is wrong with displaying your alcohol bottles (all the quicker to make a drink, right?) but once you’ve left the frat house, keep it low-key and organized and never, ever decorate with your empties! Ditch the ramshackle milk crates and switch to roomy built-ins
Milk crates are great at storing a lot of stuff but aren’t exactly known for their stellar style. Tell us, what college-style decor do you miss the most? Well, a nice leather Moroccan pouf is just as multi-purpose and looks a lot better doing it.
