I have a little different “take” on the amount of stuff. As long as it’s a roommate decision/agreement, I personally support as much stuff as makes the room feel like home. All 3 of my kids have worked very hard on their studies, outside activities and kept a part time job during college. While they may not have hours on end sitting in their rooms, why not let that room - their “home”- be as comfortable and aesthetically pleasing as they like??? After all, to me, “home” is the best place to be!

D2 my last one in college was a freshman last year - she and her roommate were dorm room styling geniuses. They shopped this summer and will be styling a new room with some carefully planned out pieces including a pretty Ikea futon, HomeGoods rug, crafted tv stand, groovy Ikea floor lamp, etc. We will either take 2 fully loaded cars or take one car with us in it and rent a small UHaul trailer to cart everything in - go big or go home.
