Going away to live at school is tough enough as it is, and
on top of that when you’re living in a dorm that is completely bare and
lifeless it’s hard to feel at home. Even though this is a temporary home for
the time being, there is so much you can do to maximize the space you’re living
in whether it be a dorm or an apartment, and I have a couple tricks and tips
for you in order to make it cozy and comfortable; trust me you will totally
forget that it’s even a dorm room!
Start off by putting tons of memorabilia and fun photos on
your walls! Filling up wall space is the easiest way to get rid of any echo,
and to make the room feel more personalized. I would recommend adding a string
of white Christmas lights, they add an amazing soft light quality in case you’re
not in the mood to turn on the actual light, and an assortment of posters and
photos are the best keepsakes to have while you’re away at school! I try to
minimize poking tons of holes in my walls at school so I love displaying my
pictures on a piece of twine or string with clothespins to hang the pictures,
it’s super cute and DIY! It looks vintage-y and adds your personal touch
to the room.
Make sure your bed is an oasis for you. After long days of
classes and studying sometimes you just want to relax on your bed, this means
you should have one or two throw blankets to keep you warm and cozy, and
pillows! I have a “husband” pillow for when I want to lay down but still be
able to use my laptop or read. I recommend even having a body pillow if you’d
like, to add extra comfort to your sleeping/lounging space.
Rugs Rugs Rugs! Dorm floors are usually some type of gross,
cold, tile. Add a cute rug that your feet will thank you for, it ties the room
together and covers up the tile on the floor so it’s nice and soft when you get
up out of bed!
I love corkboards, they allow you to hang up any personal
items you may have, letters, cards, photos, you name it! As the semesters go by
I add whatever I collect from the semester on my boards whether they’re tickets
or cards, I love being able to look back at items I’ve collected throughout the
year which brings back so many memories!
Lastly, make it your own! Add some cute items that you can
find at a store like HomeGoods! I have some cute mugs, organizers, jewelry
holders, and some small statues that tie everything together in my room.
What’s most important about your space wherever you may be
is to make it your own. You always want to be comfortable and relaxed when
you’re in this space so make sure that it’s items that you like! Also, it’s
better to sometimes go with a color scheme so things match and feel put
together. No matter what you decide to do with your space make sure it’s a
personal oasis for you!
ReplyDeletePiaget, Chopard and Zenith had set up benches with one of their master swiss replica watches watchmakers working on one or more trademark movements of the manufactures, while Jaeger-LeCoultre hosted a public workshop replica watches sale with participation fees going to a charity organization. My first stop was at Chopard where I saw their watchmaker trying breathe new life into what appeared to be a very intricate swiss replica watches movement. The piece turned out to be the L.U.C. 1.96 QP, which is an in-house made, modular, perpetual calendar movement. Modular means that there is a completely functional base movement with the basic replica watches sale functions of hours, minutes, seconds and maybe a simple day of the week. Then, there is a module (seen on the image above) which is replica watches much like a special extension for the base movement. It contains one or more complications and cheap replica watches is installed on top - or under - the base movement.
