DORM EDITION...
~A minimal amount of things
Things are great, but dorms are tiny and get unorganized and look messy if they are too cluttered. Bring only what you need and stick to these rules for the "stuff" you choose to take...
A) Does it bring happiness?
B) Does it have at least one use?
C) Does it somewhat match my color scheme?
D) Can I easily transport it home?
Some 'things' I have include a Polaroid camera, small bowl from Mexico my mom gave me, travel journals, a stack of children's books, and a little desk calendar
~Twinkle lights
As cliche as it is, they are necessary. I actually have little lantern-type lights that exude a lot of light. I got them from Target and like that they are a bit more substantial than tiny twinkle lights. But if I was hanging them, I'd get twinkle. Mine just sit along my window sill and look adorable. Small lamps are also good. Every night I plug in my two light sources, turn off the lights, and either read or count my blessings. It makes the room seem more luxurious and calm.
~A succulent
They are basically impossible to kill, look fresh and are adorable
~A big, wall art piece
I have a flag, a map of the world, and four hexagon cork-boards for my walls. Since the paint is white and my bedspread is as well, they bring some color, texture, and interest.
~Pops of color
Besides my wall art, I have a little vase with fake (and colorful) peonies, a blue throw blanket, patterned pillows, and vibrant postcards tacked to the hexagons.
PS A fuzzy, warm blanket is also a must!!!!! They are cozy, comforting, and comfortable. Plus, they give great texture and make the room inviting
