As much as you'd like to deny it, it's time to pack those bags and head back to school! Whether you're shacking up on campus in the dorms, going solo in your own apartment, or looking forward to a packed year in the sorority house, those blank walls can look pretty unfriendly. Even if you're not the homesick type, jazzing up your empty wall space can do wonders in making you feel more at home in your new school-year pad, and you're likely to find that even the most cramped or most run-down of places are a whole lot more bearable with a little added personality. Look back on fond memories of last summer while you have new fun times in the fall with a wall photo sleeve, or mark your limited territory over on your side of the tiny dorm room with an initial marquee light fixture. No matter what cool and trendy wall decor you throw up, it may never be a four-star resort, but hey -- it's home! Check the slideshow for some of my favorite fun and quirky wall hang-ups!

Sometimes, I'm so bored that I can just stare at the wall all day. Which got me thinking, wow- I should really mix things up. I've done some research and come up with some really cute wall decor items - from prints to fun shelves to sconces - and compiled them in this slideshow. The best part? All the items I feature are $99 or less. It's nice to know that you can brighten up a room with a mirrored sunburst or nature-inspired gilded lacquer prints without breaking your design budget. Think of the gorgeous light reflection you'll achieve in your room with a metallic flower mirror. Check out my slideshow for more wall decor that won't break your budget!
