Her Campus Skidmore’s very own Maddie Schermerhorn takes dorm decorating to the next level; read on to experience her expertise for yourself!
Name: Maddie Schermerhorn
Year: 2017
Major: Anthropology; Minor: Spanish
Hometown: Scranton, PA
Her Campus: How long did it take to fully decorate?
MS: *Laughs* I had my mom and Dad help me set up when I first moved in. They rock. Then a few weeks into the semester, I moved dorms, so it was all up to me to set up my new room. That took about a week.
HC: What was your style inspiration when decorating your room?
MS: My mom and I made the decorations together. My mom saw the idea for the flag on Pinterest and then we made one of our own. Thanks, Pinterest.
HC: What is your favorite part of your room?
MS: I think my favorite thing about my room is that when I walk in it doesn’t feel like a dorm. Its really cozy and it feels like home.
HC: Where do you look for daily style inspiration?
MS: I look at Pinterest all the time, so I always see cool things I would want in my room on there. I also find inspiration at the stores I shop in, like Free People, which has awesome displays and store designs.
HC: What are your decorating plans for next semester?
MS: I’m excited to hopefully have an apartment so I can take my decorating from one room to many, plus a kitchen. Kitchen stuff is fun; it’s a whole new side of decorating. I hope my housemates are into decorating too.
