I'm redecorating my dorm room and decided to freshen up my room by taping wrapping paper to my walls. No need for wallpaper; wrapping paper is cheaper and easy to remove! I bought some adorable bright green snakeskin pattern for my room and it definitely adds a punch. It's spring, after all, so why not make my room as pleasant as it is outside?I also found an old wreath my mom had in storage she'd bought from HomeGoods or something and figured it would be perfect for my room. You can't live in a dorm room during the months of April, May and June without walls as renewed as the trees outside. 3D items give your walls more dimension and really warm the space up.
Another neat (does anybody use this word anymore?) idea is to cut out interesting shapes of paper/wallpaper (go to any paper goods specialty store and I promise they'll have some gorgeous prints) and post them on your wall. Make a collage using the white walls as your canvas.
Lastly, because I love magazines, I collect spring issues and cut out pictures I like. A perfect way to liven up your walls is to get whimsical ads or photos to add some movement and keep up with trends.
In a nutshell, here's what you do: buy some wrapping paper, get some magazines and old outdoors items from your family or what have you, and redo your decor. Open the windows, blast some peppy music (Vampire Weekend...) and let the spring breeze slip in!
