Students across the country are back at college and arranging their new dorm rooms for the school year, and some parents may be involved in the process as well, offering design tips to maximize the small amount of space available.
Before stocking up on decorating supplies, be sure to check which items are prohibited in student residences. Additionally, students should communicate with their roommates so a room doesn’t end up being stuffed with mini-fridges and bookshelves.
It’s also a good idea to be aware of the storage limits of the room. Students may not want to bring heaps of clothes if they are sharing one closet or can only fit a small bureau in a corner. Towel racks, plastic bins and shoe shelves can all help keep things organized.
Lighting can also be a difficult addition in some rooms, because there is a lack of surface space for lamps. For this reason, White Wire Lights can be the ideal way to softly and fully illuminate a dorm room. They can be hung up along the tops of desks or hung from the corners of the ceiling, which will keep the clutter of an area down.
