I'm going to be a freshman in college next year. I plan on having a single dorm room. It basically consists of a twin bed (that i could raise if i wanted to), and on the opposite wall a desk, mirror and sink, and all the rest of the wall is closet space. It looked really boring when it didnt have anything in it and i want some suggestions on what i can do with it to make it prettier. Oh and im a girl (link)

This website has awesome decals!

Also, call your university (most are open for phone calls during the summer) and ask their suggestion for hanging pictures, posters, etc. At my school, the bottom of the crown moldings had a groove where small gold hooks could fit all the way around. I found some cute ribbon at JoAnn fabrics and used it with the hooks to hang pictures and a mirror.
A full length mirror is a must!
Same with bedraisers...I kept my printer under my bed along with pull out storage bins from Bed, Bath and Beyond (If you have a store near you, I'd highly recommend it for college dorms...they have everything you'd ever want, including bedding!
Beware of buying everything online if you're buying from different companies...two colors on the website screen might LOOK the same on the computer, but when they arrive in the mail they might be completely different shades. Find your bedding, window treatments, etc in person. if you must find them online, stick to the same company or go with 2-3 complimentary colors.
For my window treatments freshman year, I used these pretty green and white striped Ralph Lauren fabric shower curtains! Using a few safety pins I bunched up the top part and they looked pretty profesional!
Remember flowers...they add freshness and brighten up the room!
Good luck!
