Want to make your dorm room a place you’re proud to come home to? It only takes a few steps to turn boring college quarters into a pimped-out pad.
You Will Need
- Colorful coverings
- Personal items
- Trash can
- Desk lamp
- Lamp with a dimmer
- Gadgets and games
- Multipurpose furniture (optional)
- Lofted bed (optional)
- Frames (optional)
- Vacuuming robot (optional)
Step 1: Hit the floor
Arrange furniture to maximize space without obstructing windows so you don’t block natural light. Add pieces that have multiple uses, like a well-stocked mini-fridge that doubles as an end table.
Lofting your bed is a good way to provide extra floor space if your room’s particularly small.
Step 2: Color your world
Add color to your dorm room with fabric furniture coverings, soft rugs, and new bedding. Remember, you’re a legal adult now — no logos or fictional characters.
Step 3: Be yourself
Show your personality with a few posters and mementos; choose personally significant items that can act as conversation pieces when you meet new people.
Put posters in frames to add class and durability.
Step 4: Clean up
Get a trash can and empty it regularly — the smell of spoiled food will never be associated with a pimped-out room. Consider investing in a vacuuming robot for when you need to clean up and get the party started!
Step 5: Light it up
Invest in lighting options so you can change your room’s ambiance easily. Choose a desk light with an adjustable shade you can turn away from a sleeping roommate, and a lamp with a dimmer to help you make the most of extracurricular life.
Don’t use halogen lamps, as many colleges prohibit them in dorm rooms.
Step 6: Apply yourself
Check out any gadget or game that fits in your dorm. Your room should function as a retreat where you can blow off steam and feel like the master of your domain, no matter how small that domain might be.
Harvard’s Massachusetts Hall, designed in 1718, is the oldest college dorm in the U.S.

A dorm room needs a mini fridge. Get a Coca Cola mini fridge shaped like the Coca Cola classic bottle or can. Or get a display fridge. They look cool. Check out http://brandproductsonline.com

I don't know of any college students that can afford a vacuuming robot, let alone buying frames for posters.
