Need some fresh ideas to make your new dorm the classiest on the floor? Alternatively, do you need some to spruce up the place after a long semester? Look no further for some great – and affordable – ideas to craft your dorm into a dream!
A Touch of Class with Custom Poster Printing
“Starry Night” is a great Picasso painting, but it’s in everyone’s dorm room! Meanwhile, you have tons of photos and images that are special to you. Why not take some of those pictures, blow them up and add a customized look to your room? Get a variety of sizes to add some dimension to your room. Next, buy some cheap frames from a craft store and have yourself a paint party! Soon, you’ll have collage of large to small pictures to work with. Your dorm will be sure to feel ten times as warm with all your loved ones looking down from the wall.
Find New Inspiration Outside the Dorm
When planning a new look for your space, be sure to always have ideas on the brain, especially when you’re away from your room. “I get my greatest ideas from nature,” Chicago interior designed Felix Rivera states, “sometimes when I’m stuck, I’ll step out and just take a walk in the park. I’ll sort things out, soak in designs and bring that back to my work.”
If a color of a billboard catches your eye, take note. If the organization of certain smoke stacks fills you with a sense of calm, you can coordinate your dishes in that manner. There are thousands of ideas in the world; it’s just a matter of taking them back to your space! Also, if the actual image strikes you, take a picture, blow it up and make it a poster to add to your wall. Go from drab to fab with just a click of the button!
