Austin Peay State University ~ Dorm Room Decorations

YOUR TOP 10 DORM ROOM COMFORT ITEMS 

1. A big rug will soften the look of hard institutional flooring.

2. A featherbed mattress topper or mattress pad can really improve the comfort of a dorm bed. They're fluffy and comfy and available in either feathers or fiberfill.

3. Good light. Have focused task lighting at the desk, by a chair and near the bed so you can read and work anywhere.

4. A comfortable place to sit is a must. It can be a side chair, love seat, or even pile of pillows, but will be great for studying, lounging or talking on the phone.

5. Closet accessories are made to solve storage problems. Evaluate your space, then choose from peg racks, over-the-door shoe racks, belt and tie holders and hanging shelves to organize your clothes and accessories.

6. Large body pillows are great for sleeping. But you can also use them to turn your bed into a sofa or for extra floor lounging.

7. Keep handled basket or crate on the floor of your closet to collect laundry and use another to hold bathroom supplies. Then grab and go.

8. A large bulletin board or white board is essential for notes, photos, schedules and assignments. They can help you get organized, show off mementos and serve as a message center.

9. Filing space. Whether you use a file crate or full-size cabinet, it will help organizing your schoolwork, letters from home, insurance papers, pay stubs, tax information and more.

10. Wall decor can be another touch of home. Use artwork to reinforce your room theme of high interests. A full-length mirror is another wonderful convenience.

Most of all have fun at Austin Peay and learn all that you need.
