But dorm rooms can actually be fairly livable if you approach decorating the right way. Right about now, some of you are finding out who your roommates are and attempting to figure out a plan for decoration. This is 20 times more likely to be happening if you're female. No matter how much you visualize a pretty pastel and white room with delicate furniture and eyelet linens, it's not gonna happen. Trust me, with that kind of attitude, Martha Stewart must have never made it through college.
Dorm rooms are just natural magnets for mess.
My roommate and I have countered this fairly effectively. Talk about automatic decoration, thats our style. The most remarkable thing about this room plan is the response we've gotten. People come in and actually like it. They're so taken aback by the brightness that they dont notice the mess, unlike with many of the other rooms, where a little mess can ruin all the pretty pink frilliness.
