\"Decorated<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, back-to-school season is already here. If you\u2019re a college freshman \u2014 or a parent, relative, or good friend of one \u2014 you might be wondering how to get that cinder block dorm room to feel a little less\u2026 like a cinder block dorm room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While you should definitely put your own finishing touches onto your new space, we\u2019ve come up with some basic tips for any first-year student to break through their dorm decor dilemmas. Or, if you never quite figured it out last year, we can help with that, too (we\u2019re looking at you, sophomores).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Design a Functional Layout<\/h3>\n

Most dorm rooms come with a bed, desk, chair, and dresser, which will probably be the majority of your furniture for the year. Since space is limited, it\u2019s your job to arrange this furniture in the most functional way possible, maximizing the functionality of your dorm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some space-saving furniture options include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Putting your and your roommate\u2019s desks back-to-back<\/p>\n

\u2022 Moving your dresser into your closet<\/p>\n

\u2022 Turning your bed into a daybed by adding decorative pillows against the back wall<\/p>\n

\u2022 Utilizing cubby-style shelving<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hanging up a shoe rack<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s tough to envision exactly how your new dorm room will look, it\u2019s a good idea to start thinking ahead. A little bit of planning will make your move-in day much less stressful, leading to a comfortable, inviting space that inspires you to take on the school year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Loft Your Bed<\/h3>\n

Most dorms offer the option of lofting your bed, which leaves an open space under your bed to facilitate a desk or dresser. It\u2019s also possible to add a futon under your lofted bed, creating an extra hangout space.<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter what you decide to put under your lofted bed, you\u2019ll certainly appreciate the extra space \u2014 especially if you\u2019re having guests over.<\/span><\/p>\n

Accessorize<\/h3>\n

Unfortunately, dorm rooms are often rather dull and boring, so accessorizing them is a must!<\/a> But, before you start, check in with your future roommate to avoid clashing colors and styles. If you can agree on a coordinating theme, your dorm will look perfectly cohesive and unified.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve chosen a theme, you can start to think about what sort of accessories you\u2019d like to add into the mix. A great place to start? A comfortable rug. Some dorm rooms are smaller than others, but try to find the biggest rug that will reasonably fit your space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another helpful tip is to introduce some artwork into your dorm room. A little bit of art goes a long way in a smaller space, so head to Turn Style to find pieces that will bring your room together. Any small, decorative item can add visual appeal to your room; don\u2019t be afraid to get creative!<\/span><\/p>\n
