There is a funny back to school commercial that starts with a recording of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". That ad has made parents all over the country smile in recognition of the fact that the end of summer marks a return to schedules and some semblence of order. If you have a college bound kid, you are probably singing a different tune, like how do I make a small dorm space function for my child? Dorms act as sleeping spaces, study halls, social lounges, multi- media centers, and storage facilities all in a very small space. Fortunately, many retailers are offering color co-ordinated storage solutions that work with a young adults sense of style.
In addition to co-ordinated and creative storage, don't forget to make use of vertical space. Wall hooks or tack strips provide lots of options.
One of the problems with dorm rooms are blank, boring walls. That can change now that there are wall tatoos. These stickers come in a wide variety of designs and colors and can instantly add color and personality without being permanent.
Dorm rooms can be comfortable and fun if you help your student maximize storage, go vertical with your design and add personality with color and focal points like wall stickers or your favorite art or art posters.
