Heading off to college is a huge milestone, and while the anticipation of this new chapter is exciting, having a little tension about the change is completely natural.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The prospect of finally living on your own is exciting, but what about the comforts you love at home? For many, moving from home to a college dorm is a difficult transition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to help you get dorm ready with the coziest dorm room ever. In fact–your parents will want to crash at your place because it\u2019ll be so inviting!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pile on the Cozy Details<\/span><\/h2>\n

Truth is, you are going to spend a lot of hours in your bed during your college years, so let\u2019s pile on the cozy details. Not only do throw pillows add layers of comfort to your bed, they add a personal touch that elevates the coziness of your dorm room. The final touch to your ultra comfy bed setup is blankets. Is there anything more cozy than your favorite fluffy blanket? Put a wicker basket next to your bed and stock it with fuzzy, cozy, fluffy blankets varying in weight and size. After a day of exams, retreat to the dorm and snuggle up inside a cozy blanket. Don\u2019t forget to slip into your <\/span>coziest slippers<\/span><\/a> the second you walk into your dorm room.<\/span><\/p>\n

Personalize Your Wall Decor<\/span><\/h2>\n

Say goodbye to drab white walls that lack personality and comfort. One of the most creative and fun dorm room ideas is to decorate your walls with reflections of what you love. Hang a tapestry on one wall for a pop of color and a dramatic backdrop to the cloud of comfort that is your bed. Or, get creative and curate a wall collage including magazine pictures, poloroids of your friends and family, inspirational quotes, photos of your furry friend at home, and band posters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Decorating your walls creates an inviting space that feels like home, because you\u2019ve got all of your favorite things surrounding you. When home sickness sets in, simply look at the walls to find refuge in the things you love most.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay Stylishly Organized<\/span><\/h2>\n

An organized space means a happy and peaceful state of mind, which will ultimately help you stay focused and perform your best. It\u2019s no secret that dorm rooms are typically small, which is why it\u2019s crucial to keep things organized. College is a period of life with high academic and social pressure, so you don\u2019t need clutter adding any stress to your life. Achieve feng shui in your safe haven by minimizing clutter that is proven to drain you of positive energy. Think of moving into your dorm as a fresh start, and in the words of organizational guru, Marie Kondo, only keep things that \u201cspark joy.\u201d Additionally, incorporate organizational items like woven baskets, storage containers and bins to keep your space clean, organized, and full of zen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Devote an Area of Your Dorm To Cozy Time<\/span><\/h2>\n

Even in the most intimate dorm room quarters, you can carve a space devoted exclusively to cozy time. That corner by the closet? Throw a bean bag and fluffy rug down and make it your reading nook. Got room by the window? It\u2019s begging for floor pillows and throw blankets; make this space your nap zone between classes. Don\u2019t forget to <\/span>bring your coziest pajamas <\/span><\/a>for those power naps and cram sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

An added bonus of delegating a small area of your dorm room to cozy time is that both you and your roommate can benefit from it, though it might be hard not to fight over it because it\u2019s going to be oozing with coziness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get Your Zen On<\/span><\/h2>\n

Speaking of cozy vibes, create the ultimate dorm room sanctuary by bringing in elements that are uplifting and make you feel good. Forage the campus for flowers and greenery to freshen up your dorm room. Add a diffuser to your desk and stock up on essential oils to fill the air with reinvigorating aromas. Light candles during those late night study sessions and add a string of lights to the wall to brighten up your space. Add succulents or plants that don\u2019t require a lot of attention, but enrich the room with life and oxygen. These little touches will turn your dorm room into a cozy retreat that fosters focus and productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n
