How to: Turn Your Room Into a Dorm

Sooner or later you should probably realize that the furniture in your room is ugly and old. And really you should be able to decorate the only room in the house where you can find peace and get away from all the other assholes in the world the way you want it. Here are a couple tips to help you succeed with the away from home and freedom of college theme.

Dorm Room Style:

What you will need: 
Storage compartments for clothes and other stuff
Loft bed or normal bed (loft bed you could put stuff under)
Desk for doing work (many loft beds have desks built underneath)
Desk chair (foldable for maximum room)
Bean bag chair
Pictures of your friends and family
Decoration lights
Tv (optional)
Chest or dresser ( one with a large top to put all hygiene supplies on top)
Paint your walls white ( If you really want that dorm feel)
Bed Sheets and lots of pillows
Some fun curtains
Desk lamp.
If parents allow, Microwave, Mini Fridge, toaster, food storage, coffee machine
Arrange this stuff in a way that suits your room nicely.

The key to a dorm room is to have as much storage and room available. So just be savvy with your items. For example if you have a desk make it small and fold-able so you have more room. Also if youre trying to create a comfortable atmosphere, fabrics always are the key. A nice carpet could tie the entire room together. A lot of the stuff you need is on the ikea website. www.ikea.com
