Summer is here and college students everywhere will soon be headed back to school. And besides worrying about classes, schedules, clothes, and transportation, now they’ve got to think about decorating a dorm room as well.
Dorm room aren’t exactly luxury digs. They have an institutional feel that’s not unlike a prison cell, only with bad curtains on the window instead of bars. Your typical dormitory room comes with two beds, two dressers, two desks, and either very old carpet or icy cold tiles.
When looking for dorm room decorations, think colorful. Most dorm rooms are incredibly bland, so be a little more bold with color than you would be if your were decorating a living room or something. Stay away from drab colors like brown or gray and add some bright colors and interesting patterns. In addition, look for things that are cozy. College life is stressful, especially if this is you’re freshman year, so you want to create a space that feels like your own little retreat on from crazy campus life.
