As the days start getting shorter and the simmering temperatures start to fade we all know it’s almost time to get ready for school. If you’re one of many who have family members or friends going back to college or starting their first year we have a few ideas to help ease their transitions.
Home Away From Home
It’s no secret that one of the biggest issues students experience while at college is being homesick. That’s why it’s extremely important to make their living spaces feel as close to home as possible to help them cope with their new environment. Have your student take little pieces from home along with them, this could be as simple as bringing a familiar lamp or pillow to importing their entire decorating scheme of their current bedroom into their new living quarters.
Decorating On a Budget
College is extremely expensive, and you’re probably looking for opportunities where you can save money. There are so many ways you can decorate on a budget at college, it’s everywhere you look. Things such as posters or flags are an extremely inexpensive way to decorate and add personal touches to rooms without breaking the bank. Additionally hand me down sales are offered at almost any school in the beginning of the year where you can buy cheap used kitchenware and furniture.
Durable Décor
College students are young and reckless which lends to a trail of destruction in their wake. A college dorm room is not the place for your beautiful textured ceramic lamp or any sort for glass for that matter. Instead look for durable plastic pieces that won’t shatter if bumped into or dropped. Most college rooms are fitted with a cold tile floor and adding an area rug or a door mat is a great way to soften the room while preventing damage of the university flooring.
We at Village Carpets Flooring America wish your students the best of luck and hope they enjoy their academic experience.
