taylor's thought processwhen I started thinking about what I wanted for my dorm, I knew I wanted to keep it light because my room would be so small. it was a risk getting a white quilt but so far I haven't spilled anything on it besides some lilac nail polish. I also love cream and gold so I added small accessories that have gold in them.
one of the biggest debates was what was I going to do with my wall. tapestry, photos, lights? I ended up with photos because I wanted to remind myself of being home. I was able to find these cheap, white frames from ikea to give my photos a more finished look instead of just taping them to the wall. the polaroids I have collected through last semester to represent my new memories here. and finally at first I wasn't going to have lights but the lighting is horrendous in my room so it became a necessity.
don't forget some throw pillows and a blanket to snuggle up in on those cold nights to watch your favorite tv show or movie.
chelsea's thought process
all of these questions above amount to a lot of pressure on our shoulders. my first piece of advice is to pick your central color --something you're happy to be looking at for the next for years. stay away from white. no one wants non-removable marinara sauce from movie night on their bedspread. secondly, I advise to purchase a tapestry that is a different pattern from your comforter/quilt but that also features your central colors. this creates an aesthetically pleasing contrast.
again, pick a decorative pillow or two (don't have too many--these beds are tiny!) that highlight or is composed of your central color but again with a different pattern. this will create even more dimension to your dorm room personality.
and have a throw blanket that is warm, big enough to wrap yourself in, and again contrasts your bedspread while featuring your main color.
