Today a few of my fellow bloggers and I are teaming up to bring some inspiration to those students who are gearing up for college this fall. Here is a little concept that I put together for the student who is feminine, fun and a little flirty.
1. Every new college student needs a little prayer to make it through exams, boyfriend drama, roommate drama etc. I love this print from Perissom and Pink.
2. Pillows are a fun way to brighten up a room that you can’t paint in. I love this teal pillow from Etsy.
3. This girly ruffle pillow adds the perfect feminine touch.
4. My husband and I couldn’t paint in our first apartment but I still wanted to add some color to our room so I adhered a large ribbon to the wall using clear tacks. It run all along the room just under the ceiling and it looked like I had painted it on! In this room I would add a large navy ribbon to the wall.
5. Travel posters remind students to dream big and to explore life. What better place to follow your dreams than New York.
7. I envision this photo clip hanging right in the corner. It’s the perfect way to display pictures of all your new college friends!
8. A desk lamp is a must for late night studying. These ones from target are so fun and a great deal!
9, 12, 13. I would keep the bedding pretty simple. A simple white duvet and pink sheets. Dress up the bed with a great and colorful quilt folded up at the bottom.
10. One essential you’ll need in a dorm room is something to cart your laundry around in. This ruffle bag from Urban Outfitters will have all your roomies jealous.
11. A small rug is a great way to make your dorm room feel more homey. I love this one from Urban Outfitters!

Very cute! Do you have any suggestions for cinder block walls? I have very dorm-worthy decor in my office at work and would like to change it up.
Oh I am LOVING this… I think about this often… back when I was in College about 8 years ago, they didnt have all the cute things girls have available now.. I just love everything you came up with !
I absolutely love this dorm room inspiration. I cannot wait for a few of my little cousins to go off to college in the next couple of years. They don't know it yet, but I am totally going to help them decorate!
I wish I was a freshman this year so I could use this inspiration! This would be a lovely room.
So great to see other bloggers' ideas! Love the ruffle laundry bag–how great to take something utilitarian and make it stylish and romantic!
oh what a great idea, I wish i was a student again 😉
love this room!
This would make such a cute dorm room! I wish they made those ruffle laundry bags when I was in college!
So many great dorm rooms & yours is so fabulous too. I adore the ruffles, the posters all the way down to the UO rug. Terrific job and will be forwarding this link to my incoming Freshman who is @ college for orientation. Great blog!
Perfectly girly! Love it!
love it! It's my favorite one. Maybe I will try and get that laundry bag….
just cute picks, and i love the ribbon idea!
i love this room. so pretty and feminine! if only i were a single student again…it's hard to do such feminine things when i share a room with a man now. haha.
I love your design, especially the photo clip mobile, so smart!!
