My rooms are cluttered. My friend says any room should have 65% floor space available. He claims this is the statistical average. I disagree, I don’t beleive there is a statiscal average, and beleive it is a matter of personal preference, and sometimes living in a smaller
area than previously accustomed to, primarily due to allowing friends to move in …and removing things to other areas to allow their belongings to fit. I stubbed my toe on a wicker magazine basket trying to get to the other side of the room and my roommate friend comes up with this statistical average! OWwwww ch! ouch…

The apartment is 2 bed, 2 bath carpeted apartment. Stove, refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher are already there. I already have a bed, mattress, drawers, night stand, sheets, towels and some other things. (not really concerned with my roommate’s furniture situation) Basically what we need are furnishings for living room, dining area, and kitchen. We don’t have any TV’s or major furniture. So what would be the best way to go about furnishing and what should our budget look like?

An ex-roommate had a large Elvis on velvet portrait and displayed it proudly in our den.

I am a freshman in college and I have much money, but I am hunting for a roommate and an apartment. I really want to start getting an idea for the cost of everything that I may need. Where should I start looking for affordable furniture and linens for my bedroom?
