ABC’s of Fine Design

It’s back to school time and that means that the collage kids are getting all of their dorm things and are almost ready to go back. I have a great tip for all of you dorm students, label anything and everything you own a great way to do this is buy using a DYMO Labelmaker. Why should you lable things? Well, because someone could take off with it, someone could have the same one and take yours or you could lose it and maybe someone who finds it can return it to you.

Now when it comes to the things in your dorm, starting the year out organized will help you stay that way, and a good looking dorm room can impress the girls, or help you to make new friends as people ask for your help getting their rooms together.

One of the first things your going to want is a file storage of some kind. This is to keep all of your papers in that you don’t need every class, like the syllabus or at least a copy of it so that way you can contact the teacher or at least know where your suppose to be in the book that week. Again make sure to label one file for each class you have.

All in all if your wondering what is in right now for dorms, colors, fun and funky and stylish. If you don’t care about the trends, make it to fit you, dorm style is all about the person. There really is not a right and wrong if you at least try.

I will grantee you this post is not what you are thinking. This is not about dorm design but about a friend of mine and a contest they were involved in recently with some kids from a local state collage.

The contest involved designing the perfect collage guy home complete with huge couches, big screen TV’s and oh the ever popular beer pong tables yes more then one was required. I am shaking my head as I write this, but I will have to say that what they came up with actually looked good. The guys I know got advice from me and a few other people as to what they should do. Really the whole house is very well done and stylish, we all told them to put the beer pong tables in the basement along with any other weird drinking game stuff.

The point if this story is that you really never know what you may end up designing as an interior designer. Sometimes it will just be very strange.
