Moving into a dorm can be a problematic thing to do because it is a brand new setting and it just doesn't have that snug,
secure feeling that your parent’s home had. Let’s face it, shifting into a dorm and adjusting to a new environment can be a tad nerve-wracking, at most.
Even so, there are things you can do that will make living in a dorm pleasant, inviting and a place you can for the time being, call home. If you are permitted to paint your room, use colors that coordinate with what you have in the room, such as your bed, tables and chairs. Next, use furniture that can be used several ways such as a couch that can be connected to give an L-shape or furniture that can be placed in a circular way. Sofa beds work well for a few.
Bear in mind that lighting can add beauty, depth and tone to a room. Lamps are often inexpensive; especially at thrift shops or discount stores. And, where you put lamps can make a huge difference; such as placing them out from the wall a bit and in a corner area. Mirrors, placed in critical areas, can make a room seem bigger. One mirror on one side of the room and an additional on the other side—placed diagonally—can make a room not only look larger but also contributes depth and mystery.
Try utilizing cube ottomans for storage, they possess a classier look and make good storage places. An additional tip that can make your dorm feel great is by putting down vinyl flooring. It's easy to install and it is affordable; about $30 a box. If this is a thing you don’t want to do, place down a couple of throw rugs. The price for them averages about $15-$20 and they cause the area feel warmer and homier.
Poster size images can make a dormitory room seem brighter and there are lots of different types, sizes and colors to select from. In addition, the cost is limited. Still another way to decorate your dorm room is by picking colorful and warm bedding. Comforters look wonderful in a dorm and they are warm and will make you feel good every night. With so many patterns and colors to pick from, it won’t take long to discover one that is suitable for your room. If possible, pick out a comforter that blends in with the color of your walls or furniture in your room. Dorm stuff is different for each person.
Throw pillows look excellent in any room but particularly perk up a dormitory room. Many are affordable and again, come in many different styles, colors and fabrics. Vibrant wastebaskets, towels and nick-knacks can also add style, color and brightness to a dormitory room. Dorm room ideas are different for each person but everyone who lives in a dorm wants it to feel homey and comfy.
To conclude dorm essentials such as bedding, wastebaskets, towels, clothes, personal grooming products, a computer and cellphone can make your dorm room comfortable and accessible.
