Dorm Room Design
The Story Behind The Piece!
Our team is excited to introduce the very first edition of the story behind the piece! Every newsletter will highlight an heirloom, reclaimed or special piece that we are giving new life. From big items to small items - each item has a story.
Some of us (Taylor and Erin) may have graduated college a few years before others (Kate), but we can all appreciate the thought and attention that goes into making a dorm room like nice and cozy! It can definitely be overwhelming though. We rounded up some ideas that can be used on their own but would also work well all being used together. There is enough to worry about when your daughter goes off to college- let this be one less thing!
Peel and Stick Wallpaper - the easiest way to cover up the cinder block while stick making renter safe decisions!
Laura Park Headboard and Bedding - college feels new and scary and you need a safe place to land that feels and looks like luxury!
Curtains - Whether you need some privacy or just want to dress up your window; these Anthropologie curtains are IT.
A sleeper sofa or futon is necessary! For lounging or hosting - elevate the basic futon to be the coolest gal on the block.
Area Rug - I don’t even want to talk about how gross college floors are… You NEED a rug! This affordable and machine washable rug from Wayfair is perfect!
Storage Ottomans - A multi-purpose piece?! YES, please! Dorms are small and you need to maximize space! Perfect to store your snacks or fabulous wardrobe!
Side Table and Lamp - we are all for making your home away from home feel a bit more like home. This is a combo you need! Small cocktail table and a warm lamp - this low $ (side table) and high $ (lamp) is the perfect combo.
Art and Mirrors - help the room feel complete and personalized! Etsy art everyday and this amazon mirror is one we use a lot here at TJI!
