Decorations

Where do I begin?!?! I'm going to keep this post short because everyone has their own style!

You can get anything you desire for decorations. I would suggest covering your walls as much as possible, it makes the room feel more homey. My roommate and I got posters from the bookstore on campus and covered most of our walls.

Obviously, bring pictures from home! I think, in order to make your room really comfortable, you need to have collages. Almost all my floor mates (that were girls) had pictures upon pictures. It spices up your room, reminds you of home, and lets your new friends see your old ones!

Something that added a little more of a cozy feeling to our room was trinkets. We used to go to local Dollar Tree and pick things out that went along with upcoming holidays. It was great, everything was a dollar and we were able to get so much stuff! It added a fun touch to our room. You don't have to decorate for the holidays, most of my floor mates didn't, but instead they used candles and little statues to decorate.

If you join a club or sorority, decorate away! My floor mates who rushed sororities had so many decorations that resembled their sorority. It adds a more personal touch because it shows something you're proud of. Plus, all of the decorations are so cute!

My roommate and I went a little crazy and we decorating our entire doorway with cut out pictures from magazines. Trust me, it took FOREVER! But the end product was amazing, we loved it! It was the first thing people pointed out when our door was open or they walked into our room. We definitely made it our own room with our own style. Luckily we liked the same thing but even if your roommate has different taste than you, that doesn't mean you can't make your room cute!
