How to Amp Your Pad on a Budget

So this week was IKEA’s 100th anniversary. With that, we decided to show you how to deck out your place in style. Of course, we can’t all drop 40Mil on an apartment, so here’s some affordable items that won’t break the bank.

1. Home Theater

You’re home and friends are coming over soon. A new movie just released, or the game is on, and you want to keep em entertained. You need a home theater set up, and that means the works: A large HD TV, some dope couches/chairs, and a mind blowing sound system.

Staff Picks: You need some dope stuff with low prices, so for the TV, you want this Vizio 60 inch, so you have the size and SMART capabilities while being affordable. Pair that with this epic sound system by Samsung, then surround the whole set up with these dope seats by IKEA and this retro table. Suddenly, you’re killing it.

2. Some High End Art

You want to impress the women you bring over, right? So show them how cultured you are. Put up some cool art that grabs they’re eyes and depicts your interests. But don’t go for something too cheesy, or they’ll know its just there to impress them, making you a fuccboi. Important tip: Get it printed on canvas, or put it in a frame. It’ll class up anything.

Staff Picks: It’s a well known fact we love sneakers here at HBCVibes, so we’re huge fans of Jesse Beadon’s Yeezy Prints, since they show art and what you love. If you’re a fan of YZY SZN, cop one in a dope colorway. If you’re looking for something more high end and more eclectic, commission a custom piece from Jonezy Artwork. It’s unique and eye catching, which helps add a bit of flare to your place. If you live in the city but like to travel, show that with a 1994 print from Thomas McKnight. It gives this airy beach flow, which helps combat the busy lifestyles of the city.

3. Activities

Now you’ve got entertainment and you’ve got some culture. What you need is something to do. So set up with a classy bunch of equipment, to keep you kicking it and those guests busy – no matter what the occasion.

Staff Picks: We love keeping it classy and cool, so make sure to put in this Allenton Pool Table from Brunswick for casual vibes and a C5 Ebony Beer Pong set up for the nights you’re hosting.

4. The Heat

Alright, so now you got everything you need to have some basic fun, but what if you wanna spice it up? Here’s your answer: Heat it up. When it’s hot, people tend to take their clothes off – which is your end goal, right? So add some stuff in. A hot tub is a classic but steam and sauna rooms work equally well.
