The month of August signals the start of school. Students of any level prepare themselves, excited to know what the school year has to offer them. The greatest challenge is faced by college students, as they are once again tied in the four corners of their dormitory. Some may view it with excitement, wanting to see if there are any changes while others may look unhappy thinking of their boring dormitory room.

Whether you are a sophomore, junior, senior or freshman, your dormitory should give you a sense of security, comfort, and peace. It is important that your room has the necessary modern furniture and accessories needed to study your lessons and make your feel rested and comfortable. Your room should be cozy and visually appealing. What could be interesting during your freshman years may now be boring and disinteresting this school year, so this is something you need to consider to make school enjoyable and obtain high grades. Also, your penchant for bright colors may have changed to the neutral colors now that you’re in the sophomore or in junior high school.sh-7450abc_lttDecorating your dormitory room will be easier once you have decided on the modern furniture that you need.

Modern bed

Of course, you would need a bed. Depending on your preference and the size of your room, you could have a single or double bed. A modern bed with lights on the headboard is a practical choice. Another wise choice is a modern bed with an under-bed storage. Keep your linens, towels, curtains, and other jackets.

Make sure to have soft linens and warm blankets to use particularly during the cold nights. Have enough number of pillows, too. Pillows should not be too soft or hard. A couple of throw pillows will make your bed easy for comfort when you’re about to sleep.

Nightstand

Although two nightstands are suggested, one is enough if your dormitory room is small. Choose one that has several drawers to store small items.bt-1013-webTable Lamp

Don’t forget that your nightstand is not complete without a table lamp. The table lamp provides illumination should you want to get off the bed in the middle of the night.

Area Rug

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a soft, warm rug touch your soles when you get up from the bed? An area rug adds to the warm appeal of your bedroom.

Study Desk

An ideal study desk is one with several drawers. Make sure to have an organizer on your table to hold pens and other stuff. Have a trash bin under the desk to avoid scraps of paper or rubbish in every part of your dormitory room.km0185t-1-copper-webDesk Lamp

Go for an adjustable desk lamp so you can easily modify its position.

Chair

Go for a high back chair, as it gives you better back support. Make sure the chair has an adjustable seat height, with foot support, and can be swiveled. A chair with caster wheels allows you ease of mobility.

Bookshelf

Organize your books and other educational materials in a bookshelf. A wall-mounted shelf is ideal for a small-sized dormitory room.

Accent Chair

This is different from the other chair you’ll use when studying or doing paper works, working on your laptop, etc. This chair will serve as your relaxing nook. An accent chair that comes with an ottoman would be nice, as well as one with a rotating table to put your cup or glass.

Or have this Divani Casa Rodus - Rounded Leather Chaise with Wood Trim.

The monochromatic color palette theme has never lost its appeal. It was seen in various art deco-inspired design themes to the 1960s modern trends to the 1990s minimalist themes up to this day. The interesting thing about a black and white color theme is its timeless quality.

Picking a black and white color theme for the bedroom may not look and sound interesting to many. Some think having the color black in the bedroom is morbid, while white is not a common choice because it is a high maintenance color. Combining these two neutral colors in designing a bedroom could be quite a challenge so as to make the room look luxurious and stunning instead of having a gloomy feel. This color theme offers an unlimited number of looks, depending on your choice of furniture, accessories, furnishings, as well as lighting.

First, it is essential to know what color harmonizes well with black and white. A black and white bedroom color theme harmonizes well with the muted shades of the color grey. A dove-grey wall color would be a good choice for a black and white bedroom design. A modern black bed like the Modrest Ancona Italian Modern Black bed with black nightstands and a table lamp with white shade is a perfect pick. The use of immaculate white linens and sheets provide an interesting contrast.

Hotel Look and Feel

For a hotel-style bedroom look, paint your wall in white paint color and cover your modern bed with silk linens. Get plumped up pillows and add a few black silk throws. For a more striking look, have black table lamps.

A Modern and Industrial Look

To have a modern and industrial bedroom look, go for a sleek, contemporary feel by incorporating black- and gray-toned modern furniture pieces mixed with bold, striped patterns.

For example, choose a metal or chrome table lamp or a dark wood nightstand and a vintage radio.

Look for metal pieces with clean lines and striped-patterned accents. Look for a peculiar wallpaper or sketch on your walls if you have artistic hands. Add vintage accessories for that old-fashioned feel.

A Yuppie and Dazzling Look

This is great for teenagers and those in their early 20s. Blend in black and white pieces and accessories. A black modern bed with black leather upholstered headboard will stand out even more by adding huge velvet pillows.  Paint your walls in crisp white color and look for candy-colored accessories. Choose an attention-grabbing painting or artwork to have a light, lively tenor in your bedroom. For a sleek look, add polished lacquered accessories.

A Softer Look

Paint your walls in blue color, then choose a modern bedroom set with clean lines. Create contrast by using clean linens, bold-patterned cushions, and a blue-colored rug.

Free-Spirited Look

Add neutral-colored accessories, such as a woven area rug and other textured items to make your bedroom feel natural and down-to-earth. Use white beddings to serve as an exquisite   backdrop for a dash of patterned pieces.

Pick pillows and throws in loose-woven natural fibers and geometric patterns and designs. Cover the walls in seagrass wallpaper and hang an oversized “outdoorsy” artwork. Bring in a dash of color by adding a few potted plants but make sure these will not diminish the soft, natural look of your bedroom.

A Delicate Look and Feel

Choose lace bed linens, cushions in linen, and gauzy curtains. Have a faux-fur or fleece throw pillows on your modern bed and put a sheepskin area rug near the bed.
