Turn your "Plain Jane Room" into a Cool Dorm Room!
Dorm rooms are notoriously tiny and you will be sharing this space with a roommate or two. Finding creative ways to store you're stuff and keep it organized and out of sight is of the utmost importance. Under-bed storage is great for saving space and getting some of your clutter out of view for when friends come to visit!
It's a good idea to check with your College or University to find out the dos and don'ts of dorm room decorating, and what types of small appliances are allowed. Always check with your roommate and decide who is bringing what, so you do not have any duplicates.
Turning your drab space into something spectacular will not be nearly as difficult as Calculus. With just a little imagination and you will have the dorm of your dreams.

However don't go crazy, black sharpies are a no-no. Minimize holes in the walls, your college will most likely charge you to fix these. Be careful of tape too, because when you go to remove it, most likely the top layer of drywall will be removed with it. Instead, you will want to use special poster adhesive, which will not cause any damage.Your room should be a haven, a place for you and some friends to hang out and most importantly a place for you to study, sleep and makes you feel at home. Now its not all fun and games, you will need some necessities for dorm room as well. A mini fridge, task lighting, storage units, comforter, sheets, pillows, and so much more.

Trunks are Great for Storage
Available in many Colors and Options
Trunks may seem to be used less often then they used to. But they really serve quite a bit of value. The amount of room you have inside the trunk is huge and when you move into your dorm, this will help you get it there. The trunk can be locked to store money or valuables inside. Also the trunk sitting at the foot of a bed can now become a seat, just add a little cushion to the top and whallah!

Comforters, Duvets, Quilts... Oh My
Choose the Color and Type you would Like
Finding a comforter for your dorm room is easy. There is so much to choose from. You can choose a comforter, bedspread, quilt or a down filled comforter which you would cover with a duvet. The size you will be looking for is most likely a Twin XL. I would recommend your comforter as the starting point for decorating your dorm room. You can then choose your accessories to compliment the colors of your bedding. One more note, check with your roommate to see what type of comforter they are using and the colors in it. You would not want to clash.
