ROOMMATE-FRIENDLY DORM MAKEOVER WITH EVER LASTING FABRIC

Transform your shared space into a stylish haven without stepping on any toes...

Congratulations! You're officially heading to college!!

🎉🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉 

Your acceptance letter was just the beginning of an exciting journey filled with endless independence, late-night ramen runs, and probably more coffee than you’ve ever consumed.

But let’s be real – college isn’t all parties and study groups. One of the first challenges you’ll face is moving into a dorm and sharing your space with a complete stranger (or maybe your bestie is you’re lucky).

Dorm life is a rite of passage, a crash course in compromise, and your first test in adulting. Think about it: you’re taking two totally different humans, their belongings, and their aesthetics, and squeezing it all into one tiny room. The stakes are high! A harmonious dorm isn’t just about avoiding fights or whose turn it is to take out the trash – it’s about creating a space where both you and your roommate can relax, recharge, and feel right at home.

Decorating your dorm together is one of the easiest ways to kickstart this harmony. A shared vision for your room sets the tone for respect, boundaries, communication, and maybe even lifelong friendship.

Whether it’s blending your love of neon accents with your roommate’s boho vibe or compromising on a neutral palette with pops of color, finding balance is key. Trust us, you’ll thank yourself when you’re pulling an all-nighter for finals or binge-watching the latest Netflix hit from your cozy, shared haven.

Before you start impulse-buying bright fairy lights and cactus-themed decor, sit down with your roommate for the ultimate brainstorming session. Grab some coffee, or tea, and chat about your dream dorm vibes.

Are you more modern minimalist while they’re all about cottagecore? Or maybe you’re both secretly obsessed with retro aesthetics? This convo is your blueprint for avoiding mismatched chaos and ensuring you both feel at home.

Once you’ve made a collaborative Pinterest board and swapped TikTok saves, it’s time to find your middle ground. Maybe you both love muted pastels or simply can’t get enough of earthy tones. The goal? Merge your styles into one cohesive look that screams, “We actually have it together,” Trust us– finding that common thread will make decorating not only fun but drama-free! 

Choosing comfortable and stylish bedding is absolutely quintessential.

Fact: Your bed is the centerpiece of your dorm. It’s where you’ll binge-watch Netflix, crash after pulling all-nighters, and occasionally, even study. So, make it count! Ever Lasting’s bedding options game-changer, offering cozy materials like velvet for the winter vibes or lightweight jersey knit for year-round comfort.

• Velvet Bedding: Not only is velvet bedding extremely comfortable and soft, but it also gives off luxury and confidence. The rich, plush texture instantly transforms your dorm room into a chic haven. Whether you’re cuddling up with a good book or unwinding after a long day of classes, velvet brings warmth and elegance, making your bed feel like the most perfect escape. Plus, its opulent sheen catches the light in just the right way, making you feel like you’re living in a luxury suite, even if it’s just a dorm room. It’s an easy way to inject a little sophistication into your space without going overboard.
• Jersey Knit Cotton Bedding: If you’re looking for a more relaxed, laid-back vibe without compromising on comfort, a jersey knit cotton blend is your go-to. This soft, breathable fabric feels like your favorite t-shirt: smooth, stretchy, and incredibly cozy. Perfect for year-round use, it regulates temperature, keeping you cool in the summer and cozy in the winter. Its casual, effortlessly cool look gives your bed that minimal vibe that’s perfect for those who want comfort without a fuss. Whether you’re sleeping after a long day or just lounging around, jersey knit is the material that always feels just right. 

Your dorm room is YOUR space – it’s where the magic happens. And by magic, I mean late-night snack runs, existential crises, and Netflix binges. So why not make it scream “you”? Adding those personal touches can turn that bland dorm room into a haven that feels like home and a little bit like your Pinterest dreams. 

• Decorative Pillows and Throws: Here’s your chance to go wild with textures and patterns. With Ever Lasting’s collection of decorative pillows and throws, you can mix gingham with florals or go full maximalist if that’s your preference. Not only do they add personality and characters, but they also make your bed Insta-ready for those dorm room reveal posts.

• Wall Art and Tapestries: Bare walls? Not in this dorm! Add posters of your favorite bands and artists, artsy tapestries, or even a collage of Polaroids and postcards. Take a look at Ever Lasting’s decor pieces that will level up your space without making it feel like a freshman art project. 

In the world of dorm living, space is limited, but your style doesn’t have to be! Here comes functional decor – the multitasking heroes that keep your room both organized and looking good. Because let’s be real: no one wants to trip over a pile of laundry on their way to class.

• Storage Solutions: Dorm life = no storage. Period. That’s why functional decor is your secret weapon! Try chic baskets, either metal or woven, or under-bed storage bins to hide everything from textbooks to snack stashes while keeping your space clutter-free and cute.
• Lighting Options: You know what they say, good lighting changes everything! Ditch the harsh overhead light that screams boring and cold and embrace warm string lights or even statement lamps. Bonus: they’re absolutely perfect for setting the vibe during those much-needed self-care and movie nights. 

So you’ve finally decked out your dorm room – now what? The key to keeping your space fresh and inviting is maintenance. A clean and ever-changing vibe does wonders for your mood (and your study game). 

• Cleaning and Care Tips: We get it – college life is hectic. This is the first time you’re truly on your own, in addition to an abundance of assignments and your own personal stresses, but keeping your dorm room clean doesn’t have to be a chore. Remember in your free time to wash your bed regularly, give your decor a quick dusting, and you'll feel like you’ve got your life (and your room) together.
• Seasonal Updates: It’s okay to switch things up a bit. It’s actually encouraged! Keep your dorm feeling fresh and up-to-date by swapping out decor and bedding to match the seasons. Spring? Bring on the florals. Fall? Hello, cozy plaids. Winter? Whites and red are a great choice.

With the right planning, tools, and a little creativity, your dorm room can be more than just a room – it can be your sanctuary from all your stresses, your hangout spot with friends, and the backdrop for countless college memories.
