Superior Interiors: Dorm Room Decor Contest

We ran a contest last month to find out who had the most stylish room in the residence halls. What we found was that students are designing on a budget and in a small space with a personal panache that could only come from attendees of the most creative college in the country. Here are our finalists:

Freshman photography major, Emily Darrow, displays her passion on the walls with a DIY wall collage. An awesome way to make the space personal.

Contest winner, Nailah Wood, a first year fashion business major, pulls together her design with touches of color (her favorite, pink) and contrasting animal prints. She also swears by keeping things organized as a way to create space. Tip from our winner: Shop in the discount sections of home stores and sign up for store rewards cards to design on a budget.

Journalism graduate student, Sylvia Oben, echos the pattern of her bedspread in the floral wall decor. Wall decals are a great way to pump up your design game on the cheap.

Freshman Courtney Kasperowicz opens up a small space with natural light. "First thing I did when I moved in was change up the layer of my side, making the space more open, more inviting and easier to get a glimpse of the city below,  We use our alcove for the big cumbersome things, like the fridge, so, it feels as if it's not even in the room, but still super close by, it also evened out the space more, Because I feel like our room is going to be lopsided, one way or the other, It honestly doesn't feel so small anymore."
