Going off to school is an exciting time! Whether you're planning to study theater or spend time staring at the stars, you'll feel more at home if live with things you love.
How do you choose a theme? Start with what you like.
If horses are your passion, then an equestrian classic look may make you feel right at home. Are you interested in skiing, surfing, guitars, movies, TV stars, Star Wars, mountain biking, dancing, ballet, football, classical music, or cars? Start there.
Or do you always choose things that are blue, lavendar, silver, metallic, star-shaped, angel-themed, tie-dyed, or animal printed? Is your ideal room modern, country, classic, trendy, funky, traditional, ethnic, or eclectic? Any of these are good choices for a great room that expresses YOU.
