Decorated? ✓ Organized? ✓ Awesome? ✓✓

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-00Jenny Chang / BuzzFeed

1. Organize your plugs using washi tape.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-01shakentogetherlife.com

Choose a different style of tape for each of your devices and apply it to both ends of the plugs: this way you’ll never accidentally unplug your roommate’s computer when you meant to unplug your own.

Learn more at Shaken Together.

2. Build a cork storage box for your desk.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-02sugarandcloth.com

Store supplies on the inside, store reminders on the outside.

Get the tutorial at Sugar and Cloth.

3. Purchase collapsible, space-saving extra seating.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-03bedbathandbeyond.com

Have a guest? Unfold a chair. As soon as they leave, fold it back up again and shove it under your bed. Repeat as necessary.

4. Add tassels to your bedskirt.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-04tatertotsandjello.com

After making the tassels, simply tape them to the top of the bedskirt (the tape gets hidden by the mattress).

Get the tutorial at Tatertots & Jello.

5. Or purchase a bedskirt organizer.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-05kohls.com

Fill it with shoes, books, snacks, and other accessories. It isn’t the most attractive thing in the world, but you can just cover it up with your comforter.

Get one here.

6. Fir more clothing into your small wardrobe using soda can tabs.

youtube.com

Hangers on hangers on hangers.

7. Pin notes and pictures to DIY fruit-shaped bulletin boards.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-07tellloveandchocolate.com

A fruit salad for your wall.

Get the tutorial at Tell Love and Chocolate.

8. Or print out some free fruit wall art.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-08sugarandcloth.com

All you have to do is download the file at Sugar and Cloth and print it out in the size of your choice. If you want a poster-sized version, just bring the JPG file to a store that offers printing services (like Staples).

9. Pin paint chips to a cork board to make a colorful and cheap calendar.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-09sayyes.com

When your plans change, just replace a day with a new paint chip.

Get the tutorial at Say Yes.

10. Use washi tape to make “wallpaper”.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-10brit.co

Get the tutorial at Brit+Co.

11. Or wall decals.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-11fellowfellow.com

Get the tutorial at Fellow Fellow.

12. Or a patterned door.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-12ispydiy.com

Get the tutorial at I Spy DIY.

13. Washi tape’s also great for concealing unfinished furniture edges.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-13agirlandagluegun.com

No one wants to look at particle board.

Get the tutorial at A Girl and a Glue Gun.

14. Keep your overflowing underwear drawer under control with dividers.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-14atypicaltypea.com

They make such a difference.

Learn more at Atypical Type A and buy some dividers here (or make your own).

15. Cover your futon with comfy pillows you’ve decorated with paint.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-15sarahhearts.com

Impress everyone with your artistry.

Get the tutorial at Sarah Hearts.

16. While you have the paint out, make some matching curtains.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-16abeautifulmess.com

Get the tutorial at A Beautiful Mess.

17. Need some extra storage space? Set up a wire shelving unit over your bed.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-17globalindustrial.com

Construct it over the foot of your bed. Set your laptop on one of the shelves, start up Netflix, and relax.

Just be sure to buy one wide enough to fit your bed between the bars (twin beds = 39 inches wide).

18. Make a wall organizer to hang above your desk.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-18abubblylife.com

This one is very simple to make and you can paint it with a design that matches your duvet cover.

Get the tutorial at A Bubbly Life.

19. Cross stitch mesh office organizational supplies.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-19camillestyles.com

The bland file and pen folders you found on sale at Staples will look so much cooler with some yarn woven in.

Get the tutorial at Camille Styles.

20. Raise your bed with lifts featuring USB and power outlets.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-20bedbathandbeyond.com

It would be cheaper to use cinderblocks, but a cinderblock can’t charge your phone.

Get them here.

21. Keep plastic utensils and paper plates in an over-the-fridge caddy.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-21cc-otfso-blk.htm“>dormco.com

Any way to make eating easier…

Buy one here.

22. Fit more bottles into your fridge using a binder clip.

youtube.com

A soda, beer, or juice pyramid that won’t fall.

23. Store snacks in a hanging shoe organizer.

 

youtube.com

Snacks > footwear.

24. Overhead lighting sucks—be sure to bring your own floor and desk lamps.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-24landofnod.co – landofnod.com

Dorm lighting sets one mood = an awful one.

25. Make shimmering gold versions of your initials to place on a shelf.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-25fallfordiy.com

If you and your roommate share a similar sense of style, you could whip up their initials as well.

Get the tutorial at Fall For DIY.

26. Did you get stuck with the top bunk? You’re going to want a shelf.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-26bedbathandbeyond.com

Use it as a nightstand.

Get one here.

27. Festoon your wall with a DIY gemstone garland.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-27tellloveandchocolate.com

Get the tutorial at Tell Love and Chocolate (if you’re not feeling crafty, there are plenty of cool and inexpensive garlands on Etsy).

28. Purchase a paper planner to use in addition to Google Calendar (or whatever app you have on your phone).

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-28etsy.com

It can be helpful (and strangely satisfying) to actually write things down using a pen.

These planners are fun to doodle on and come in four sizes.

29. Is your room basically a sauna? Build a DIY air conditioner.

Lauren Zaser / BuzzFeed

It really works.

It really works.

Get the tutorial here.

30. Stitch together a pennant pillow to put on your futon.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-30Kyle Michaels for abeautifulmess.com/03/pennant-pillow-diy.html

Can’t sew? Hunt down someone who does and tell them that making you one would be an excellent dorm-warming present.

Get the tutorial at A Beautiful Mess.

31. Try to keep your room free from dirt using a DIY welcome mat customized with a fun phrase.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-31ispydiy.com

Wandering around the dorm searching for the community vacuum is a pain in the ass; try to keep the things you’d need to vacuum from accumulating.

Get the tutorial at I Spy DIY.

32. Most dorm rooms don’t come with full-length mirrors: buy one you can hang over your door.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-32bedbathandbeyond.com

Perfect for checking out your outfit before heading to class.

Get one here.

33. Use a shower caddy to store so much more than just shampoo.

youtube.com

School supplies, make-up, food…

34. Make a stack of no sew floor pillows for visitors to sit on.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-34akadesign.ca

Perfect for lounging on while watching 8 episodes of The Gilmore Girls on Netflix.

Get the tutorial at AKA Design.

35. Purchase laundry bags that make sorting easy.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-35pbteen.com

A bag for whites, a bag for darks, and a bag “for mom.” Sorry, mom.

Get them here.

36. Turn your favorite Instagram photos into magnets for your mini fridge.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-36thesurznickcommonroom.com

After you make them, post a picture of the magnets on Instagram to complete the circle.

Get the tutorial at The Surznick Common Room.

37. Cover up your dorm room’s stained carpeting (or cold linoleum floor) with a fun rug.

AD-Dorm-Room-Decorating-Ideas-37ikea.com

The best place to get an inexpensive yet attractive rug? IKEA.

  • This old building, originally a mill was left neglected for years until Czech-based @stempel_tesar [IG] Architects gave it a new life. The architects have turned this mill in tatter into a housing unit worth modern dwellers.
The client approached the architects with the idea of transforming this structure into an oasis for peace and quiet. The idea has been put to perspective most deftly through radical alteration to the original form.

The two-story building was cut into two parts and the roof in between these parts was left exposed to let natural light and air into living spaces comprising floor-to-ceiling glass walls. This makes two separate interior spaces in the house.
One part has the living room, kitchen, and bedroom while the other one just serves as a dining room or workspace. There are all the required amenities inside needed to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle.

The entrance has been kept nearly untouched except for the addition of a contemporary walkway made in steel. It is mainly the roof and interiors that have been made to fit the modern-day lifestyle. This renovated old mill was a finalist of the #Czech Awards for Architecture.
