Dorm Room Decorating with Little Dinero

Decorating Dialogue· Design Tips

Fall is around the corner and the kids are going off to college!! After the cost of tuition, books, and travel expenses, the thought of furnishing a dorm room may be enough to drive you crazy. Fear not, creating a comfortable and stylish space  doesn’t have to break the bank.

First of all, think vertical. Take every opportunity to bring items up off the floor. Create storage under the bed by lifting the frame up with risers.  Find bookcases that are shallow and tall to set up against the wall. Keep the floor as open as possible to eliminate that cluttered feel. Use colorful bedding since painting the walls is usually not permitted. Apply cork board to the walls with 3M Command strips so you can create your own personal photo collage. Incorporate floor lamps for reading instead of table lamps to maintain that valuable surface area. Get a desk organizer so you have quick access to all your supplies. For fun, add peel and stick wall decals. They are available in a multitude of styles and colors, are removable without residue and add a lot of personality to those ho-hum walls.

Cost Cutting Tips

Bring things from home.  Make a list of what you already have and cross those items off your shopping list.

Limit your furniture pieces.  Look for furnishings that provide multiple functions, and lots of storage.

Support your local charity.  Shopping there is a Win-Win.  You get a great deal and the proceeds help a great cause.
