<p>I’m not saying all the suggestions will work with you or are necessary to you, but I hope in some way they may help.</p>

<p>The Definitive Bedding and Decorating List</p>

<p>BED
1) Eggshell pad or mattress pad or mattress foam
2) Sheets: at least two and preferably three different sets of sheets for your bed, often college beds are extra-long twin size
3) Pillows
4) Comforter
5) Fleece or thermal blanket (use alone in warmer months, double with the comforter/thicker blanket in colder months)</p>

<p>DECORATIONS: see also “Lighting List” for examples of colorful lamp designs
1) Rug!: to add attractiveness to the bare tile or wood floor of your room-- and keep your feet warm when you slip out of bed winter mornings
2) Curtains: if your dorm room doesn’t provide curtains, an attractive set of curtains can help bring color and life to your room
3) Tapestries: hang them up on the wall, above your bed, etc <a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/searchSKU.asp?order_num=-1&SSTR=tapestries&go=1&%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/searchSKU.asp?order_num=-1&SSTR=tapestries&go=1&&lt;/a>
4) Plasti-tak <a href="http://www.teachersparadise.com/c/product_info.php/cPath/22/products_id/25260%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.teachersparadise.com/c/product_info.php/cPath/22/products_id/25260&lt;/a> or other mounting material that won’t leave stains or holes on the walls
5) Posters, of course (<a href="http://www.allposters.com"&gt;www.allposters.com&lt;/a&gt;)
6) Photos and picture frames
7) Candles
8) Framed art
9) Electric lights: like Christmas lights you put on your tree or around your house-- small strings of white-light bulbs can be lovely strung around the edges of your ceiling
10) Plants: IF you can take care of them. They’re lovely and it’s nice to have some green in your small dorm room
11) Throw pillows</p>
