Everyone knows that move in week is one of the most exciting parts of starting college. Once you’ve finally got everything moved in, then the fun part can actually start. Whether it’s your dorm, your house, or your apartment it’s always fun to make your space feel like home.
You always start with basics like unpacking your clothes, toiletries, school supplies, and other necessities first. You’ve got to think about how you want your room to function and the space you’ll need for the bed, the desk, and any other furniture you’re going to need throughout the year.
The best part about decorating your place is adding your personality and making the room reflect on who you are. Bring things that remind you of home like photos of your family/friends, favorite posters from home, or even blankets and pillows from home. Another part of adding your personality when decorating is picking a color scheme. Whether you prefer soft neutrals or bright colors having a consistent theme can make the room feel more put together.
The most important thing is to not worry about making your room perfect right away. Your space is going to change around the more you settle in. The best thing to remember is to just be creative and to make your spot a place where you feel at home.
