How to make a dreamy dorm room!

How do you make those dingy cinder block walls dreamy? At Dorm Suite Dorm we have plenty of ideas! When you are moving in you have a blank slate so start at the bottom and move upwards. First, put a rug on the floor. Some colleges have companies to supply these for you before you move in, check with your housing department. Also available through some housing departments are risers to raise the bed up higher. Raise it up as high as you can and gain some very valuable space. If you raise it up high enough you can sometimes put your desk under there or extra seating. At Dorm Suite Dorm we can also make curtain panels for the lower half of this to make it like a small cozy living area. Next pick the most fabulous bedding from Dorm Suite Dorm to brighten up your very white walls. You can pick some pieces from last years groups or even better customize your own from our 50 fabrics! You will want at least 3 pillows for added comfort. The one area that is forgotten is the window because there are blinds usually there. At our model room we took those down and stored them in the back of the closet. We then used our tension rod and put some grommet curtain panels up. These have black out liners in them so you get great coverage from the sun! Now add your accessories to make your dorm feel like home. Add pictures of family and friends to your walls (the more wall you hide the better). You will also want a lamp on your bedside table or desk for studying by late at night. Your room mate will be glad you did so she can sleep!
We hope these ideas have helped you think of creating a very dreamy home away from home!
