It's a bitter sweet time of year. Many of you will be sending your children off to their first year of college, and others will return to school again. Their new adventures await. "Miss Shop This" and I worked all Summer on getting her ready, the year she left for college. There is a lot to do! I have listed some pro tips on how to send them off with style here: College Countdown: Dorm Decor . This year's edit of dorm decor features colorful ways to style the bed, organize the closet, decorate the walls, store accessories, and enjoy a good night's sleep.
Perfect for the pink loving coed. This duvet and shams set is a good option for the girl that wants just a little bit more interest than the typical solid duvet offers. Pretty, right?

A very easy way to add some panache to those bare walls. These decals peel, stick, remove, and rearrange. Oh the things you can do with these!

The Keith Haring Collection
Super cool for school, and for girls and guys. Art majors should love these dorm designs.
These bring back fond memories. Miss Shop This had several sets in black. They are literally like sleeping in your favorite cotton tee shirt. They wash and wear beautifully. Your college student will thank you for these.
The Company Store
This makes so much sense to me. In fact, I think that I need one, even though I do have a bedside table. Most dorms do not come equipped with nightstands. So you better bring your own, or use one of these. Certainly better than having those Apple devices fall to the floor. Simply slip one end under the mattress.
The Container Store
Orla Kiely Storage Boxes
With a cult following, this Irish born designer is known for her retro 60s and 70s mod prints. Her style is perfect for a dorm room or first apartment. These storage boxes will add the style to her desk.
It's super hard to find a high quality comforter, down or not, in solid colors. If you can find one, it's usually just the duvet cover. These are great. I know because I own one, and have had it for years. Pick your child's favorite color and weight. Best yet, they are on sale right now!
The Company Store
This color palate always is right and easy to coordinate with roommates. You just won't believe all of the bedding, pillows, wall decor and more available at Dormify.

Oh the fun that will be had with a wall of this wallpaper! When "Miss Shop This" was in college, we covered a wall in black textured vinyl. It looked cool but was very hard to work with. This paper promises to be easy to apply and reapply. Guys and girls will get the message.

Even I did this to my bed and desk way back in the day. It gives you more floor space, which is always needed. You will find all of the stylish pieces at Dormify. See links below
