Decorating Your Home Matters Whether It's a Dorm or a Mansion

Stop by Mushroom New Orleans and let us surprise you with our wide range of attractive and practical home decor items.

Whether you prefer lush plants, patterned throw pillows, and light beige or are more of a metal posters and blacklight type of guy, home decor matters: to you, anyone else living in the household, anyone who visits. So let's consider some easy and affordable ways to dress up your decor.

Home care is self-care.

In addition to being pleasing to the eye, an orderly space that is decorated in a congenial manner can also enhance your mental health. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, the physical act of cleaning, as well as the end result of having a cleaner home, can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. In any case, it's hard to live your best life if you can't find your left shoe or if cereal boxes pelt you whenever you open a cupboard.

So get your space together, then smudge it with a bundle of Desert Sage to eliminate any lingering bad vibes.

There's no place like home.

Whether it's your New Orleans house, studio apartment, or dorm room, home is where you seek refuge from a chaotic world. Investing in a few pieces that make you happy will make coming home feel more like a celebration, and you'll be able to take them with you to your next abode and even on your travels. Home is wherever you lay your head, and nothing makes camping at a festival feel homier than a treasured item or two from home.

For example, consider this No Face Man battery-powered LED night light with adjustable neck. Under a roof, it keeps you from stubbing your toe on the way to the bathroom; at camp, it illuminates your tent.

Makes your casa also their casa.

Sleeping on egg-crate foam with nothing else to enliven your home but a record player and stacks of books may be efficient, especially if you tend to move around a lot. But visitors like Mom and Dad may appreciate somewhere to sit when they drop by and something to look at when they survey the surroundings. Check sites like Craigslist and Tulane Classifieds to find cheap furniture, and hang something nice on the walls -- maybe a Carmen Electra poster if the folks can stand it.

Express yourself.

You're an adult, so start adulting already and get this Magical Cat Storage Box. Unless you prefer something else. The point is that home decor doesn't have to be dull. So come by The Mushroom and let us help you give your place that special touch. We're more than just a record store and smoke shop (though we're that too). See you soon!
