Dorm Room 101 - Art and Accessories

If there was ever a time in your life when you made decorating decisions for yourself:  This is it.  No parental involvement.  No spouses or significant others.  This is your space!  (Okay, you might want to get your roommate’s buy-in before you go crazy… but you’re still number one!)  You walk into your new home-away-from-home, and you’re faced with four blank walls.  Here are a few things to keep in mind when you’re making the room yours:

Make it fun!  Give yourself a smile. 


Make it inspiring! A favorite quote, destination, or superstar that reminds you of your goals and aspirations.
Tie it together! Choose frames of a similar style, or color.


Go Bold, or Go Soft! Choose bright primary colors for a pop, or go natural or pastel for a more soothing space.


Remember:  It’s all temporary!  If you don’t love it after month, change it out.  Maybe a friend or classmate wants to do a décor switch! Donate to your local charity, and shop for a new solution.  The possibilities are endless, and so are the opportunities.

The most important thing is this: Make sure you love it!
