Girl Dorm Room Ideas

Well, it's getting to be that time that folks are starting to think about the new school year . *Flinches* I know ... I said it.  But you have been, haven't you?  We'd all like to just stretch out in the sunshine and forget about what's coming, but we are even more afraid of not being prepared when it's here.

Which leads me to dorm rooms.  Which leads me to dorm room decorating ideas.  If you are sending a child off to a dorm room this year, you must do them the favor of helping them take that cold, institutional-looking box ...

 ... and turn it into a place that feels like home.  Their home.  Their little beach home!  Why not?!

First thing's first: Hide that ugly, cold floor.  This rug has been described as "ethereal" and "cloud like" and is a much better to step onto on a cold winter morning.  Can't you just feel it between your toes?  Treat your student's feet!  It comes in a variety of sizes (unlike that dorm room).

Now let's move on to dorm room bedding.  That bed needs layers! Start with the basics:  luxuriously soft viscose sheets, then top it with our Jacaranda Duvet Cover.  You can choose from several different embroidery choices to create the coastal themed dorm room you envision:

There are many, many more choices!

Finish off the bed with these pillows, for that pop of color.

Your college student will need seating, so we recommend this affordable Match chair.  Easy to move.  Easy to clean.

Now let's move on to dorm room decor.  You won't want to clutter the place up, but a few items like this mermaid or this rustic crab might really add that touch of whimsy your college student's dorm room.
