About This Site

Dorm Design is here to help you own your place by decorating your space.  The three main focuses of a dorm room and the dorm room design process are Individuality, Organization, and Sustainability.  This is why those are the three major categories of this site.  Everyone is unique, which is why everyone’s dorm room should be a reflection of everyone’s true selves.  College is a stressful time, and dorm rooms should not add to the surmounting school work and extracurriculars that you’re already juggling.  Dorm Design aims to simplify your way of living by giving you the tools to better organize and best optimize your room.  

Individuality

Dorm Design has an archive of real dorm rooms created by real students just like you.  This collection is here to inspire you and allow you, as you design your own room, to identify meaningful and personal connections between you, your lifestyle, and your room. 

Organization

You can also learn about how to best organize your room in order to decrease stress in your day-to-day life.  Organizing your room in a way that works for you is crucial to simplifying your life.  

Sustainability

If you are a student at Wesleyan, you should be sure to check out the Freecycle listserv before purchasing dorm room essentials.  Don’t throw away that perfectly good 6-shelf drawer unit – put it on Freecycle and see if someone else wants it instead!
