    I'm not personally all that creative, but when I was looking at kitchens on HGTV's Rate My Space site yesterday, I noticed that they had a whole section of dorm rooms, where people had posted pictures of their dorm rooms to get feedback. Just go onto www.hgtv.com, go to the "decorating" tab, and click on Rate My Space. The categories on the left-hand side will give you the dorm rooms.

    Well, i'm only 14 and, being that i'm only going to be a highschool freshman this year, i have never had to decorate a dorm. haha : ) but i have spent a week in a dorm before when i went to a camp at Florida Southern. I am also very into interior design. So here's my advice: make your space comfortable, simple, functional, and, above all, personal. For comfort, i suggest this: http://www.pbteen.com/products/sporty-lounger/?pke...

    it's seriously comfortable, and takes up a minimal amount of room. plus, it looks cool. remember to bring your ihome!!! i am a HUGE music person, so a great soundsystem is a MUST!!! a good study lamp is definetly good to have, a bunch of pillows are always great, a big, magnetic whiteboard or corkboard for the wall is good to keep track of events and such. basically, visit http://www.pbteen.com/

    it has the best dorm decor. and my last bit of advice? personalize! in my room, you can't even see the wall because there's so many photos, collages, tags, flyers, postcards, papers, pictures, paintings, etc. stick absolutely everything on there! it'll look awesome. i always get compliments on my wall when i have friends over. seriously, it looks cool! plus, adding on to it gives me something to do when i'm bored. if you have a dorm party, take a crapload of pictures, print them out, and put them all on your wall. well, i hope that hepled? enjoy!

    Wow, i'm no longer able to think of a dorm being that strict! Even back in 1991 we've been allowed a undeniable sized refrigerator and a microwave, and there became a communal kitchen with a range and oven. Will you get inspected frequently? i could say get ingenious with hiding a microwave. Like under your table with a report field in front of it, or a rubbermaid field which you utilize as a abate. you would be able to additionally get a thermos, fill that with warm water, wait, unload it out, and quickly upload a can of soup or chili to warmth it up. A mini-refrigerator must be disguised as a television stand or night stand, or you should get a Coleman cooler and could purchase bags of ice each and every couple days in case you prefer to purchase refrigerated ingredients. instant rice and mashed potatoes could be made with warm water. purely get seasoning for them. whether, in the previous you attempt any of my subversive tricks (i do no longer choose you to get kicked out!), provide it a pair weeks at school and notice what various the upperclassmen are doing. you would be able to verify that the RA's look any opposite direction.
