FURNISH AN APARTMENT FOR UNDER $2000! | decorating on a budget, apartment hacks 

Budget starts at 1:35

This is literally the only video that actually was kinda cheap. Thanks I’m tired of people saying affordable when it’s not lol like it’s okay to spend a lot if you got it like that

Ma’am, when I tell you I have researched and researched and researched on budgeting skills to furnish an apartment. You are the ONLY person that has a full detailed chart of what you bought and where you bought it! You have my subscription and I am forever loyal to your channel ! Thank you so much!

OMG this saved me, setting up an apartment after divorce this was godsend

When shopping for items, sometimes it’s great to check with Ross, TJMaxx and even Tuesday Morning for kitchen ware items

I know this video is a year old but THANK YOU! My husband and I are starting all over after getting back together and needed help! ❤️

I will be moving out for the first time on my own next month. Your video really came in handy with the items I may need and will have to budget for.

Love this! My first apartment I spent about 1000 to fully furnish

I am moving and going to need all new everything and have to settle down fast as I will be working from day one. I thank you very much for this list.

That mattress combo is going to be a LIFESAVER I’m moving and starting over with all my furniture and decor and idk why but I refuse to spend $2000 on a mattress, I cannot fathom that. Now a girly is getting an ikea mattress and a mattress topper

You are so generous to share this helpful information with everyone! This is like an Adulting 101 class that everyone could use. Thank you so much, Ashley!!

Thank you Ashley 😊 for keeping it simple. Apartments are temporary, in many instances, but places like Atlanta and now Houston can be challenging. A necessities budget makes sense. I found there are simple things you can do to make your home look warm & inviting, chic & sleek, or even upscale depending on your taste. I'm a visionary, have a good eye for details and like refurbishing and creating. This way, i won't break the bank. I've seen some absolutely gorgeous refurbished pieces, art and color schemes posted here. Before those things, plan your colors for living room, kitchen, bedroom and bath. I remember my first apartment. 1 new sofa and matching chair $300; wall to wall carpet in the living room $55; an off white wind chime from Pier 1 $20 coffee table free; vertical blinds on sliding glass door came with the apartment; dining room table, chairs, and table cloth, free; kitchen red black white towel & 2 mittens set $3 dishes free; dish rack set $4; silverware $5; pots & pans $10; ice trays $2; sugar bowl, salt & pepper shaker, oil & vinegar bottles $5; bathroom in a bag $10; bedroom furniture new $425; bedroom in a bag $35. Keeping it simple and within my budget. Your budget may be less, or you may be able to afford a lot more than I did at age 20. Still, it's possible to make your place look beautiful and feel like your own on a strict budget. Plan before you pay.🤗

Boutta move to a 1 bedroom in another state with a budget of $3,000 and this helps a lot

Thanks for the video. I think you should try challenging yourself and make an updated video based on today's prices. Don't forget to include the bathroom too! 😀

Omg best video no jokkeee I swear I was about to give up but she broke down everything and it was amazing cuz she gave us prices now everyone doesn’t do that

I don't know you but I LOVE YOU FOR THIS SPREADSHEET!!!!

I got my couch from Facebook marketplace for $50 dollars it was a steal because the couch was from Ashley’s furniture home store and it was clean and looked new

You are a lifesaver! The fact that you shared your full excel with links is amazing! Thank you!

this video is perfect!! short and straight to the point. your voice is so soothing as well

I am moving in about a month to the US and this will help so much. I am definitely going to be doing used for lots but this gives me a basic idea on how to budget this.

this video will be so helpful. my boyfriend just left me and im being forced to find a new place asap and im literally starting from nothing. im going to base everything off of this video. thank you so much, sincerely. i know this video is older, but i really found it helpful!

Great video. This is straight to the point. It's for buying mostly new stuff. So, people who are fine with thrifting can save even more with certain items. Thanks!

This is so amazing! I’m such a spreadsheets person as well and all of these recommendations are great!! Thank you for putting this together! Definitely subbed😊

Thank you for taking the time to do this!! My bf and i are moving in 6 weeks & finally graduating from college! We have been debating on what to take and keep because of the price it can be to restart. But you just made me feel so much better about leaving our hammy down beds & dressers behind❤️

Thank you for actually putting up a video that was useful on furnishing an apartment!

will be moving in with my partner and we each already have our own bedroom sets, tvs, desks, mattresses that we can choose from. 🎉 this is going to hopefully save us money so we can splurge a little on kitchen stuff (i love to cook) and decorate to our tastes.

I love this so much! Can’t wait to do this next month

Thank you so much for putting this together. It’s helping me prepare a budget for my first ever solo apartment during divorce.

I used to think $500 for a couch was a lot until I sat down and did some calculating. Say you're a person who wants to thrift a couch, it may run you about $200.00 or so. On average to get a person to come clean it will be another $200-300. Any who, I love what you did here! Thank you! 🙂b

Thank You for the spreadsheet that is amazing

Thank you so much for this video. I have been slowly furnishing my apartment over the last 3 months but it’s not exactly where I want it to be and this video just saved me from wasting my time and money. This is a perfect budget, especially with all these holidays deals going on. I can definitely finish furnishing my place under $2000🔥

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate you and how you went out of your way to make us a whole spreadsheet!💛👏

Amazing spread sheet! Thank you beautiful. You are a blessing!

Im from Europe its scks that we have to buy a fridge , wash machine, stove etc but your video deff helpt alot❤️

You’re absolutely amazing! Thanks so much! I’m a single mom, and I’m so blessed people are giving me large pricey items for free I definitely needed this!

Wow this was so helpful and you made a spreadsheet for us to all be able to see. Thank you so much!!!

Very informative and useful.

Thank you .alot of great ideas

Yesss thank you me and my boyfriend are about to move into our own apartment and furnishing it seems really daunting!! the spreadsheet looks so helpful thank you 🙏

Thank you!!

I know this is late, but for ya'll who won't be moving out until next year, save your coins, make a list of your necessities and wait for holiday sales! I knew I was moving out this year, so last Black Friday, I purchased everything ultra cheap. But there are president's day sales, memorial day, etc.

thanks for the spread sheet saved me so much time and money

This is so helpful

Great video!!

I lived the video, this really helped me out.

This is so helpful! Girl, I just subscribed and downloaded the spreadsheet I appreciate the way you calculated the totals as well as put the links to order :) Also the best part of all.. is the scripture in the description box for me!!! Love it!!

This is amazinggggg, thank you!!

Excellent content and delivery! New subscriber.

Rose, Marshall, roses have great cheap decor. I love diy so furnishing for me was even cheaper

Thanks So Much!

This is so useful although i have a bedroom set already and a dresser and a television so i would really only need some kitchen stuff and some livingroom and kitchen things

Awesome video. And let’s not forget 2nd hand stores!!..At Goodwill and Salvation Army as well as Savers; even $500 can go a Looong way when it comes to household goods.

I will using this.. so detailed ❤️❤️

I am moving to Houston pretty soon, what a coincidence! thanks for the tips :)

1:43 is the best jumpcut... wow.

So helpful!! Thank you so much :))

you’re an angel

Thank you so much!

HEY!!!

Love your spirit and channel! New subbie!💜This is a great list! You can get a silverware set for $10 at Wal-Mart or Target too! Pretty good quality too! 🛒💜

I moved from Virginia to California so the only furniture I kept was my couch and bed frame. Tryna furnish on the cheap now.

Thank you, I will use this spread sheet to keep me under budget. lean on God

Welcome to Houston I hope you really like it here 💕

THANK YOU oh my god

GIRLLLLL I had to subscribe!!

I LOOOOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you so so much. God bless you for helping others. 🤍🤍

I'm just discovering this. you made a SPREADSHEET? bless.

Welcome to Houston! I live in the Sugar Land/ Richmond area.

Appreciate ya

THE SPRED SHEET THOOOO

A good knife is only 12$ now ?! That’s awesome

H TINE!!!!!! I’m only a minute in but I had to comment this. Atl and HTown I feel like have a similar vibe

Thank you for this. You’ve helped me save my coins 😭

I got a pretty nice queen memory foam mattress off Amazon for less than $300. I think that’s a good deal.

this is awesome! Thank youuuu What about the bathroom though?

The military uses those blue mattresses as well lol.

It takes me like 600-700max to fully furnish my apartment... and thats if i go full out. I find it weird that people scoff at a $2,000 budget like its supposed to be normal to spend 3-5k on furnishing an apartment with basic furniture. I thrift the hell out of everything besides bedding and stuff that should be hygienically clean. Fb-marketplace, antique stores, stores like ross. And my stuff is nice too, decor and everything. Leather couches and all.

was is the HAUGESUND spring mattress?

You can literally get everything for cheaper from Walmart through their online store, and there are so many cheaper options. Had to furnish out a entire 1 bedroom condo this year when I moved to the US, and managed to do everything for $1,932 whilst buying a lot more than what's on your list, over 60+ items. That's including stuff like a washing machine, vacuum cleaner, 20 pan crockery set, kitchen utensils, study desk, couch, dining table basically everything one would need to live (bar a fridge/freezer, that came with the house). Couch for $500? you can get a brand new one from Walmart for $140 if you go cheapest, $200 for a better quality one. TV stand for $150? bought mine for $35 brand new. So many ways to go cheaper and more affordable than this, whilst keeping it somewhat stylish.

This was cool! But I noticed that you didn't mention any decor or expenses regarding the bathroom

damn. I need to follow your advice on the mattress. I dropped 3k on a king purple mattress and I'm thinking that just might not be my thing at the moment.

Find your local mattress liquidation center !!

Hey, new to Houston myself! can you suggest a couch store in Houston with good deals? We’re thinking furniture Queen but we’d like to look around

You don’t use a box spring to support the mattress?

Also we are moving to the Ga area! Is there any stores you recommend for home goods?

I wish you included photos of what you purchase and linked it in the bio

So in America do most/all apartments already have: fridge freezer, cooker and washing machine then? Because in the uk you would need to buy all of those too. That’s another grand unless you are willing to buy them second hand ie. Craig’s list/

Great video! Wish you had mentioned the bathroom though 😭

What do u use it edit? 🔥 ❤

I'm moving into my first apartment but do u think its smart to do a downpayment on my bed I hate spending 500-800 at once lmao dnt want uncomfortable bed everything else I can buy

+Sub very detailed and realistic. ✅

When i was an RA I furnished an apt for less $400 between Walmart , dollar tree , Craigslist, letgo/OfferUp and up cycling furniture other tenants had thrown out. I didn’t pay rent and I wasn’t gonna spend money on stuff I wouldn’t have anywhere to put when I moved back home

I'm here daydreaming about my first apartment

No pictures?
