Neutral Dorm Room

I guess this is turning into Dorm Room Decorating Week here at StylishBeachHome.com. After my first two posts on the subject I realized just how many great affordable and versatile options we have for the style- conscious student heading off to the dorms. Here we are going to show you how to get the beach bungalow look -- dorm room style. We love a great collection of soothing whites, off-whites , and just a touch of the tawny.

To cozy up that bare, drab floor, you can't go wrong with our Silky Shag Rug.

but not before you swathe the bed in these sheets with a delightful piping.

I chose this Elio Chair in White for it's functionality and cool, sleek design.  It could be a desk chair or extra seating.

But it will need a bit of softness.  I couldn't resist a bit of color.  But you could easily keep it all neutral.

And then you brighten up the place with lighting, art, and a mirror.

As a last minute decision, I've decided to also throw this mirror in.  Call it indecisiveness. Call it an inability to commit.  Call it what you want ... but just check it out.

How to get the Beach Bungalow look!

For some people, "beach house" is not a massive mansion of floor stacked on floor.  Many people are drawn to a place that is smaller and less extravagant.  However, I think it's a safe bet to say that "less extravagant" doesn't mean "not awesome."  We all want to have that perfect place that reflects our personality and style, regardless of the size.

Take a look at this beach bungalow.  What a breath of fresh air the white and off white tones provide.  It's a little bit beach house meets Norwegian interior design.  Clean.  Uncluttered.  What's not to love? 

You know, you don't have to own a beach bungalow to live with this look.  There are no rule books that say you have to actually live on the coast to include beach house décor.  This would be a fabulous look for an apartment or condo, or even a small house that would not do well with ostentatious furniture.
