The dorm room or apartment of today's college student has come a long way from the cinder block and milk crate décor of days past. Creating an inviting and functional space for studying, socializing and relaxing is top of mind for style savvy students, yet space is often at a premium when every dollar counts! Here are some great products and ideas from IKEA for creating the perfect home away from home, regardless of size and budget.
Dorm rooms or off-campus apartments are often small, shared spaces. When space is at a premium and budgets tight, the rules of small space living make more sense than ever: * Use vertical storage space * Stack furnishings * Multi-functional furnishings are a must * Use storage solutions to hide the clutter * Unify with a monochromatic or limited color scheme * Buy quality furnishings that will work well once you graduate and enter the real world!
