Alright my man. Since you have such a low budget ($700) but don't want your apartment to look like crap, your best bet is going to be minimalism. You're in a great sub for minimalist inspiration. Take this recent post, for example. Not everyone was super impressed, but I'd say he did pretty good for a budget of $195. At the very least we can say with 100% certainty that it looks better than the average undergrad apartment.

I took the liberty of checking out the Halifax craigslist offerings and they are far and few between. However, I did find a potentially decent desk: see here. You might be able to haggle down the price a little with some luck. Otherwise, you might want to look at Amazon for desks (example 1 and example 2). For a desk chair, you could look at Amazon, but you might be better off going somewhere local (even if you go to Walmart) because you want to make sure a desk chair is going to be comfortable.

For a mattress, I'd again suggest Amazon. I'm just not sure you're going to find any better deals than what they have to offer. Mattress buying also involves a lot of personal preference, but "big box" mattress stores are incredibly overpriced. It seems that memory foam mattresses (such as this) are the most inexpensive, so I would look around Amazon to see what you think you'll like. I think I saw a mattress for as little as $99.^(though personally, I'm not sure I'd trust it...) Keep in mind that you will either need (a) a box spring and bed frame or (b) a platform bed in addition to the mattress. With your budget, a platform bed will probably be your best bet. You can even get one with a "headboard" for pretty cheap (the headboard will definitely up your apartment's style a little bit and keep it further away from "garbage apartment of undergrad" level): see here and here.

Alright, I'll break down what we've done so far. I'm in the US and don't know that much about Canadian dollars, so I'm doing this in USD - hopefully it's close:

• $150 for desk
  
• $50 for desk chair
  
• $180 for mattress
  
• $170 for bed frame
  
  That leaves you around $150 for other items. I assume you have basic human needs covered (bed sheets-do not sleep on a bare mattress!- and towels), so you could use this money for more furniture or for decor. I would probably try get some attractive and functional bedding (please do not get anything polyester!) in a minimalist pattern. Ikea is really unbeatable for this - see here and here. For a couch, I would either consider Amazon or start scouring Craigslist every day. I would probably forego a coffee table until you have other things that will improve your quality of life (dining chair/table, television, etc.); you really don't need one.
  
  Anyway, these are just a couple of suggestions. Hope this helps!
  
  

Hey there so this is my room! My main goal currently is not for any frames/things to hang on the wall but focusing on the bed that is to be coming!
https://imgur.com/a/zUcbHmO


Currently have ordered this Zinus Bedframe Zinus Suzanne Metal and Wood Platform Bed with Headboard / Box Spring Optional / Wood Slat Support, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075FGY7G2/ ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mf3pDb7AB4RSK
and Zinus boxspring for some height Zinus Armita 5 Inch Low Profile Smart Box Spring / Mattress Foundation / Strong Steel Structure / Easy Assembly Required, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AS4W8WU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ng3pDbB66B6PQ

Still searching for mattresses, currently like a beauty rest from Macy’s and yes I know about tufts&needle and all those other brands. I have to lay on them myself, prefer spring over memory foam... I sleep firm and will continue to.

What I would like help is on bedding, I’m looking for good comfortable sheets and a thin/quilt for the top. I saw linen but due to paying out of pocket for school I can’t pay $300+ for sheets

I live in Southern California where’s it’s 100+ and gonna be hot for quite some time.

Thanks for the read and appreciate the help!

Not exactly the same, but this is what I have (although mine is grey).

DHP Cambridge Upholstered Bed with Storage in Black, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MDMDJYR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4E9MzbQJTYTC1

The storage aspect is amazing. I'm assuming in a studio situation you have minimal storage. I also like that the entire frame is padded as it helps prevent shin bruising in small spaces.

I definitely needed the extra set of hands that a friend provided for assembly.

Making the bed is easy because you can lift up and tuck the linens under pretty easily. Did I mention that I love the easy storage aspect? I will say that when I bought it I paid about $50 less than it's currently selling for on Amazon. Wayfair had the exact same bed as well (listed under a different name but still manufactured by the same company - it's the exact same bed) for about $100 more than Amazon when I ordered.

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but I love mine. No box spring required but you can use one if you prefer. I don't.

1.) So I have been in lust with this bed but since it isn't on Amazon .... Let's go with this bed because this is my old bed before I had a baby - I loved this bed (mine was king sized) so much.

2.) Well this is great for sharing in bed ;) but I never seem to sleep immediately afterwards.

3.) you can never go wrong with yummy sushi pajamas

4.) I WANT THIS NIGHTLIGHT SO BAD!!! I love the fact that you can take the balls off and move them around!

5.) I found that one of the best way to help the baby and me sleep is to be close next to each other

And I am going to Guess Panda

She used to say she could taste sleep and that it was as delicious as a BLT on fresh French bread.

1.) It's a couch, it's a bed... What can I say, I WANT IT!

2.) Chocolate chip cookies and milk are the best. Lulls me right to sleep!

3.) Flannel for the whole family! Too cute.

4.) Night light and home fragrance diffuser in one! Plus it's a cute little owl. I also love Bath and Body Works. I have a few of these and love them!

5.) This... Thing is supposed to help babies sleep. No idea if they work. But it's interesting.

BONUS: This panda plush?

She used to say she could taste sleep and that it was as delicious as a BLT on fresh French bread.

Hi there. I see your issues here and I think I can help you. The first suggestion that I'd like to make is to put the bed where the desk is and put the desk where the bed is. Your room was created to have that set-up and trying to go against that will make designing your place a lot more difficult. The second suggestion that I'd like to make to you is a captain's bed. One like this that has drawers on one side so that you can open them. This will provide additional storage for things like your shoes and whatnot. Something like this. I think it might also be time to update your bedding. Maybe something like this. I think the map would look great on a green wall and the flag would look better on a white wall (over the now-moved desk). The map might be best over the bed with a couple more maps to anchor the bed. Something like this and this hung something like this. Remember that wall decor shouldn't be hung any higher then the door jam. I do believe that the room you have is a little too small for a mini-fridge, unless you can fit it in the closet. With just a few changes, I think you can have your bedroom be a bit more functional and stylized.

• Seconding /u/joefraz78's recommendation for a headboard. Or, think about upgrading your frame at some point to a something with a headboard; wood could look nice and you could eventually update your other pieces to go with it.
  
  
• Since your bedframe is very utilitarian, and you're storing stuff under it, consider a bedskirt, or a blanket that's one size up from your bed (looks like a full, so a queen blanket).
  
  
• If it wouldn't stick out too far for your tastes, consider rotating the bed 90 degrees so that your head is on the same wall as the dresser, leaving space between the side of the bed and the wall for your nightstand. It will look more intentional and make it easier to make the bed/change the sheets. It might even work slightly better with your TV location.
  
  
• Lighting makes a huge difference. Overhead tends to be the harshest; everything looks better in a soft warm glow. Consider a lamp for your nightstand for reading and general ambiance -- this one has an interesting industrial look and isn't too cheesy. Think about adding a second lamp on top of your dresser, too.
  
  
• If you have the budget for it, think about upgrading that TV stand. No judgment, we all had ones like that in our first apartments too! But a console style with some concealed storage would look more polished.
  
  
• Art! Not sure if you can hang stuff on your walls, but Etsy and the internet are full of gorgeous inexpensive prints. Maps (nautical, star, vintage), minimal black-and-white photography, landscapes -- you name it, it's out there and you can order it. You can get fairly inexpensive frames at a craft store (Michaels, A.C. Moore, whatever you have where you are) to dress them up. If you can't put nails in the walls, Blu-Tack is good for hanging stuff without damaging the piece or the wall.
  
  
• It may seem weird to put a rug on top of wall-to-wall, but it can make your room feel more put-together and cohesive. Plus, you can use it in your next place. Jute is usually pretty inexpensive and comes in various colors (in a small room I'd stick with a light color so as not to overwhelm the space).
  
  
• Clear surfaces make a room feel calmer. If you have somewhere to store the stuff currently on top of your dresser (shoutout to a fellow Cornelia Funke fan), you'll probably feel better every time you walk in. Ditto for the nightstand; I'd tuck away everything you aren't using daily.
  
  
• And finally, the obligatory plant recommendation. If you take some of the ideas above, you'll have a few different places you can put a plant. Succulents are almost impossible to kill.

• A rug would be a good choice for the living room area, it would make it cosier in the room, and help separate the two areas
  
• The couches are a neutral color, so focusing on color pairing for the wall are the bigger priority
  
• As far as the prints go, that's 100% your taste. I like etsy for finding unique prints, as well as old advertising material. If you're a bourbon guy: I like this print but's that my personal taste. Any prints or art you get, unless it's a canvas should definitely be framed. Check out thrift stores for cheaper frames, as poster frames and the like for large frames will cost 10x as much as the print itself
  
• Additional tiers of lighting will do a lot. One or two floor lamps, and some end tables with lamps will definitely help create a better mood
  
• A headboard is definitely a good idea, I got mine off amazon and it has held up well. Sturdy and doesn't creak, but I've only had it about a week. Not sure if the natural pine color would be the best option considering how dark the stain is on the hardwoods, but it was a good budget offer.

THIS IS THE ONLY BED FRAME THAT YOU'LL NEVER NEED!
http://www.amazon.com/Nomad-Solid-Hardwood-Platform-Frame/dp/B000KV4MKS/

It's solid pine and made in USA. I had bought this in a full and gave it away to a friend when I upgraded to a Queen.

The best part about the bed is how it's constructed. Unlike IKEA, it isn't particle board and the hardware does NOT screw into the wood. That's why IKEA stuff falls apart. When you keep re-screwing into the same hole it destroys the integrity. Anyways, the way this bed assembles is that you screw the metal pieces into each other and the wood stays unharmed.

It was super easy to put together and super easy to take apart when gave it away. Because it was solid wood, I didn't really have to be careful or worry that it would break. The bed looks 100% identical to the day I got it. My friend was able to put it together without any instructions because the entire bed is put together using the same hardware (not a million slightly different screws like IKEA).

Well, the quality of CL items will heavily depend on the area you live in. I live in a pretty safe and populated location so I've never felt nervous approaching random doors and stepping into strangers' homes. I've gotten sets of sofas and coffee tables for free from people who happened to live in the same apartment building as myself :D!

But to your point of IKEA, I'm currently furnishing a new bedroom and finding that IKEA is still more expensive than things I can find on Amazon (for reference, this full-sized bed frame on Amazon is only $10 more than this full-size bed frame on IKEA, and to me, one is way nicer looking than the other). Plus, on Amazon I can also read thousands of reviews, filter by ratings, and get free shipping to my door. So for reasonably priced, Amazon > IKEA.

Buy a memory foam mattress on amazon and the bed frame too. Assembling furniture is a good idea too. You can take it up in pieces. The mattress before its unpacked is very manageable. Make lots of trips, the first 3 floors are easy, it's 4 and five that will break you.

These guys are great for a temp solutionbed frame

These guys are great it's an all in one kit and you can carry it up the stairs yourself. bed frame

Also wicker furniture is both light and comfortable.

actually, i'd try amazon. we got a really amazing mattress, topper, and headboard/bed frame for about $1000 and they delivered right to our door.

if you are looking for something cheaper, this mattress is shockingly comfortable - we have it in our guest room and my VERY picky best friend loved it. you can get a great bed frame for cheap, too, there are a bunch on amazon.

i'm all for shopping local, but easy is also important.

I recommend Zinus through amazon. Very affordable and great quality. I have this one with a 14” mattress, you still get ~13” of headboard:

Not quite as elaborate as some of the others one here, but I figured some people like the simple style as well. I have a second nightstand coming for the other side, but need to figure out better lamps, if anyone has a suggestion for a good one that keeps in this style.

Everything here was purchased through Amazon, in case you want to mimic and of this:

I got this bed for our guest room and it looks really great imo. Maybe you can look for something similar but in the light ash? Good luck!

Not exactly the same but we got this one last year and it looks and feels great. We’ve a hybrid firm mattress on top. Combined weight between us two about 350. Honestly cannot recommend it enough.

Tuft and Needle referred me to a company that makes futon frames out of Athens, GA. The frame is called Nomad: Full Size Nomad Platform Bed Frame - Solid Hardwood https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017RAPTQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_BtcQwbN67BW87

It's pressure treated poplar, natural. No headboard or footboard, but you can buy a matching headboard depending on the size of the frame. Rolling drawers are also available for purchase.

I have the king size and love it. The natural wood is wonderful, with some minor discoloration, but that just adds to the character.

Girlsplaywow is a jerk but lizzieisrad should be lizzieisajerk for asking for something as expensive as this RADICALLY AWESOME BED TENT YO

Thank you for your contribution to RAoA and your amazing generosity!

You absolutely do not need the Casper foundation specifically for the Casper mattress, the foundations are all pretty similar. These look marked up a lot, even compared to traditional retail.

I don't recommend the Zinus mattresses, but their foundations / frames / storage frames are pretty good & inexpensive, and I've heard good nothing but things about them:

https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-SmartBase-Foundation-Replacement-Noise-Free/dp/B006MIUM20/

https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Platform-Mattress-Foundation-Headboard/dp/B01B8GQAOO/

https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Standing-Mattress-Foundation-Platform/dp/B07D7J77VL/

Check Casper's latest terms to see what restrictions (if any) they have on the mattress return policy (visible damage and not using a foundation typically invalidates the warranty / return policy of a few bed in a box offerings). They might specify slats or something like that.

The foundation you choose will affect the feel of the mattress to some extent, but not a lot. The main thing you can do with the foundation to make the whole experience a bit firmer (if you end up wanting that) is to build or buy a bunkie board (which is basically just a sheet of plywood between the mattress and the foundation).

And if it's not obvious, huge gaps in the slats are going to cause some wear and tear on the mattress. For example, a 4"-6" gap is fine (12" is not).

If you like memory foam, then this is your best bet: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EPSHI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

This is a little bit steeper, but I think it looks great and is still cheap compared to a lot of bed frames: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W4DCTK0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

Sure!! Hopefully no sarcasm, because it's mostly all here.

Bed Frame -- Amazon link here

Bedding -- Bed Bath and Beyond link here

Throw Blanket -- Got this at target like 5 years ago!

End Tables -- Sauder link here

Painting -- Banksy from iCanvas link here

Drapes -- Generic from Target

Carpet -- Big Lots link here

Flooring -- Solid Bamboo from Lowes.

That should do it!! Let me know if you need any help finding other things!!

Sounds like an easy solution is to go vertical and build a loft. Someone still at university might know someone who can do carpentry on the cheap. That's what I did during dorm life with 2 in 140 sq ft. Need to make use of the empty vertical space if you cannot make it work otherwise. Ends up looking something like this.

http://www.rosenberryrooms.com/801-dh-loft-bed.html

Or for something ready made

https://www.amazon.com/Dorel-Home-Products-Abode-Silver/dp/B004LQ1P9Y

If you can afford it, I'd recommend something like this https://www.amazon.com/DHP-Abode-Full-Size-Ladder-Silver/dp/B004LQ1P9Y/ref=sr_1_17?s=furniture&ie=UTF8&qid=1527706190&sr=1-17&keywords=loft+bed Check the review comments - a couple sent in pics of how they set up a bedroom in their studio closet using one of these beds. Put some shelving, a clothes rack, or a dresser on the non-desk side - something inexpensive from Ikea, Walmart, Target, etc. Or get one of the other bunks with no desk and put a chair or small loveseat underneath, plus clothes storage. Get a small LED clip lamp from Ikea to use up top for reading at night. They also make small shelves and pouches meant for people to use when bunking in a dorm or at camp - that could be useful for keeping your phone, books, etc within reach up top. Get a heavy duty power strip with a long cable to run to the nearest available outlet if there is not one in the closet. Get a clamp on fan to keep some air circulating.

If you weren't in a single I would recommend this because privacy is awesome. But since you are, definitely have stuff to cook with in your dorm room. Find out what is legal to have in your dorm, but you would be amazed at the stuff you can make with a coffee maker.

We got it on Amazon

It weighs what you'd expect a $200 bed frame to weigh, but looks really nice, haha.

https://imgur.com/a/ZkqDDCi

Still not great lighting in my opinion. The carpeted room is the bedroom and the hardwood is the living/dining room.

Edit: Damn I found one I really like, but it's like $150 more than I want to spend. I'm trying to keep it under $200 and it's $325.

I got some stuff to fill the space.

A work in progress and i like how it's going. These huge walls are killing me. I'm waiting for a matching book case to land on craigslist for the other side of the desk. Also waiting for a unique awesome coffee table to catch my eyes. More updates to come!

Any comments? I'm totally willing to build off recommendations!

Amazon! We've put together a lot of IKEA furniture in our years together, and this bed was a freaking breeze. It's super sturdy and has been such a great steal! *fwiw-- our mattress is from the same company and it's awesome too!

I agree, it does look somewhat bulky. Back when I had it, as a 23 y/o woman, I built it alone with a lil elbow grease.

I now have the Zinus Sonoma double bed with the same storage capacity, though it does require drawers or bins underneath.

A more minimal, inspired aesthetic. VERY easy to put together and really inexpensive.

I bought this for my son a year ago, he loves it. He easily stores laundry baskets full of extra clothing underneath to be accessed from the sides. The wooden front panel might make front access impossible, but the Zinus brand has more models without the front panel. Assembly was quick and easy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WWF1P78/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_TLaVBb89J7T7F

Things I'm planning on next:

New sheets/bedset. What I would like to do is a burnt orange fitted sheet, gray topsheet, and gret/white duvet cover.

Bedframe: Link

Still havent picked up my desk chair just yet, picked up this desk last night, but my office chair is a nock off Herman Miller from amazon basics

Grey curtains

Orange accented floor rug near entrance to room

Of course, something for the walls. I have a grey/white clock I need to put up and would like to get some artwork sometime soon

Thanks, Amazon special.

Where are you going? Been to Afgan recently.
Dont bring all your gear from cif and rfi I brought all mine it sucks carrying. Try and just bring a bunch of thermals and then like your fleece and maybe your Wet weather gear. Also bring a nice fucking collapsing chair. All of the ones we had broke so we had some people buy some for tons of money or buy like 3 $25 chairs from bazar because they kept breaking. Also some carabiners or life savers so you can just hook gear and your m4 to shit and body armor. Also a plastic bed cover if you're like me and done wanna sleep in old ass beds without a layer between. Civ shorts and shirts for to and from toilet. Nice headlamp preferably rechargeable and a lightbulb for tents or rechargeable light for your personal area in the tent or bay. Personal mug cakes really helped something sweet from home if your in like Dalke. A soft gator neck mil spec on sucks. Strong allergy meds, a couple portable batterys 20000, a solid state external battery my traditional one broke from a small drop the SSD ones wont break easy. Paracord and duck tape, the rfi winter boots are good since the show soaks through your summer boots easy and you ur feet will be cold af. One of those big ass roller duffles helps and a tough box. Good set of eye pro its required some fobs.

I have one of these from wfutons. Nomad Platform Bed

It's solid hardwood and my full size frame was only $130. Amazingly sturdy and doesn't move one bit. I Have a bedskirt on it because I store stuff under it but it comes unstained so that you can stain it whatever color you want. Very nice wood.

Zinus Upholstered Square Stitched Platform Bed with Wooden Slats, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W4DCTK0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CyErxbJM3YT87

This one has been awesome. Put a memory foam on top of it and it wont make a single noise. Ultimate stealth fucking..

I got this frame a couple months ago and I like it. It delivered in less than the estimated shipping time and the quality is good for the price. Easy to put together - just don't force the nuts onto the bolts because the threading is a little soft.

One thing to note - the middle supports are slightly higher than the rest of the frame (less than a 1/2 inch), but I don't notice it.

The full size is much less. I looked on Amazon, and for the approximate one I got, its $239 (https://amzn.com/B00R27F0CW) for the mattress and $169 for the stand (https://amzn.com/B00VKXV7UI) That's really not bad- especially if you have Prime. I don't think they rent beds in my state because a friend of mine tried to rent one for her mother-in-law recently.

This is clean and not crazy expensive. Looks to be sturdy as well.

I'm dealing with a similar situation atm and I fall back on meditation and self hypnosis, because for some reason people understand that a person doing those things is to be left in peace, and it doesn't seem to make anyone insecure. It gives me the sort of battery charge a far longer amount of time alone doing nothing in particular would. I'm not sure how you could live like that long term though, tbh.

combined with this bedframe that's made for memory foam (slats every 2") it's the most stable bed i've had, doesn't rock or make any noise.

I bought this a year and a half ago. Easy to set up and very sturdy. It’s not 100% wood but has a wooden headboard. $150 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XMY9D5K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_AjTzDbD1RGM43

The bed frame is from Amazon. Not sure which one off the top of my head but was less than $200.

Edit: found it, even cheaper than I remembered

Zinus Upholstered Square Stitched Platform Bed with Wooden Slats, King https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W4DCVLW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_2AvkxbZQWV70R

Where did you buy them? I've been looking at the Zinus Ironline/Suzanne and the green tea mattress, and together they're about $600.

There are some less expensive ones if cost is an issue

ATM, metal joints that seem to be soldered together. I'm looking at this option. - but still seeing complaints about squeaking. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B01B8GQAOO/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_hist_5?filterByStar=five_star&pageNumber=1
