<p>I’m not saying all the suggestions will work with you or are necessary to you, but I hope in some way they may help.</p>

<p>The Definitive Bedding and Decorating List</p>

<p>BED

  1. Eggshell pad or mattress pad or mattress foam
  2. Sheets: at least two and preferably three different sets of sheets for your bed, often college beds are extra-long twin size
  3. Pillows
  4. Comforter
  5. Fleece or thermal blanket (use alone in warmer months, double with the comforter/thicker blanket in colder months)</p>

<p>DECORATIONS: see also “Lighting List” for examples of colorful lamp designs

  1. Rug!: to add attractiveness to the bare tile or wood floor of your room-- and keep your feet warm when you slip out of bed winter mornings
  2. Curtains: if your dorm room doesn’t provide curtains, an attractive set of curtains can help bring color and life to your room
  3. Tapestries: hang them up on the wall, above your bed, etc <a href=“Bed Bath & Beyond | The Best Deals Online: Furniture, Bedding, Rugs, Kitchen Essentials & Moree”>Bed Bath & Beyond | The Best Deals Online: Furniture, Bedding, Rugs, Kitchen Essentials & Moree;

  6. Photos and picture frames

  10. Plants: IF you can take care of them. They’re lovely and it’s nice to have some green in your small dorm room
  11. Throw pillows</p>
