Want to have the coolest pad on campus? Don’t just settle for the basic white walls and gross industrial carpet. Make sure you have all the essentials covered with the Style Hound dorm room checklist. These easy and affordable decorating ideas will help you go from drab to fab…
Stay clean
Perfect for a tight squeeze, a collapsible hamper will keep you looking cool even while dragging a month’s load of laundry across the quad.
Tuck it Away
Don’t be late for class because you can’t find your favorite pair of jeans. Stay organized and on schedule all semester long with these handy closet organizers.
Shed Some Light
Make late night cramming a little easier on the eyes. This desk lamp brightens up your study area AND has an iPod dock. Study hard, party harder!
Get on the floor
Put a little panache underfoot. Turn up the fab factor with a cute rug – added bonus, the soft shag will make a great reading spot!
Deck the Walls
Leave the band posters taped over your bed in your room at home, and trade up to chic wall art that reflects your individual style and interests.
Sleep in style
Your bed is probably going to be used for more than just sleeping – eating, watching tele, studying, etc – this denim set looks great and should last you until graduation day.
