21 Gorgeous Boho Dorm Rooms To Use As Decorating Inspiration

Image
In order to decorate your dorm room and make it look Pinterest-worthy, you must first pick a theme. The theme of your room should, of course, be focused on something you love, or some stand-out aspect of your personality. Maybe you love going to the beach, and you want to go for nautical inspired decor . Maybe you’re obsessed with Lily Pulitzer, and you want a colorful, preppy room. Maybe you’re a creative artist, and you want to use lots of fun prints and photographs to show off your style. Or maybe you have a ~gypsy soul~ and you want your dorm room to reflect that with boho accents. A boho dorm room is so aesthetically pleasing that even if it isn’t exactly your vibe, you’ll be tempted to copy it anyway. Boho inspired dorm rooms are usually comfortable, cozy, relaxed, and colorful , making your living space serene and full of unique, fun pieces. It’s also an easy style to go after because you have so much to play around with. At this point, you’ve probably already started thin...

Design a TV Room That Doesn't Look Like One Using These Tricks

Just because you enjoy are obsessed with Game of Thrones doesn't mean you want a big hunka plasma taking up the majority of your apartment's living room. Nor should you have to consume all your favorite obscure documentaries (and the, ahem, occasional Pixar flick) through a laptop screen! But the fact of the matter is that most components of a highly- functioning TV room —from wires to cable boxes, flat screens to surround speakers—don't really meld with any design style (unless your preferred look is gadget-chic, in which case we probably can't help you). Without suggesting that you purchase one of those fake artwork screens that scrolls over your TV when it's not in use, an invention as weird as it is unnecessarily complicated, we've got solutions for disguising or hiding all the electronic bits in your TV room just by following the four steps below. In the living area of a Manhattan apartment by Alfredo Paredes and Michael Neumann Architecture , an LG f...

New Streeterville residential high-rise boasts over an acre of amenity spaces

Of all the gleaming high- rise residences anchoring the Streeterville neighborhood, perhaps the new Optima Signature is one of the most artistic. You can't help but notice the striking red glass panels that wrap the lower seven floors of the modern apartment tower or the bright yellow free -form sculpture that stands in the plaza in front of the building. The color bursts are a signature of renowned architect and developer David Hovey of Glencoe. The 57- story Optima Signature at 220 E. Illinois St. is a joint venture between Hovey's firm, Optima Inc., and DeBartolo Development. The two also partnered in 2013 on the sister building next door, Optima Chicago Center . The base of that apartment tower is similarly clad in black glass. "Our focus is on architecture and contributing to the built environment but doing it in a way that resonates with the broader community and our residents," Optima Senior Vice President Mark Segal said. "We didn't design in ...

Housing on a budget: how does a single-income or low-income family find affordable housing with rising housing prices in Alaska?

It is one of the necessities in life, finding shelter. But who actually enjoys taking the time to search all over town for a perfect place that mandatorily fits into a budget? Anchorage isn't exactly the most expensive city around, but it's certainly not the cheapest. In a search for almost anything these days, most will likely turn to everybody's favorite modern resource , the Internet. Unfortunately, the online listing for Anchorage apartments is slim, and the information available for those apartments is even more feeble. The best and probably most accurate aid in an apartment search is an Apartment Finder catalogue , the small, detailed pamphlets found all over town in stores like the local supermarket and other retailers. The Apartment Finder names a variety of complexes citywide, lists apartments within most everyone's budget, and even provides maps for easy directions. And it can be acquired for every consumer's favorite cost: p...

Fall Home Decorating Style Starters

Budget- friendly fall home decorating ideas that will easily transition your home from summer to fall. *affiliate links used* Now that August is nearing the end… Ready or Not…Here Comes Fall and fall home decorating ideas . It doesn’t feel at all like fall yet around the lake, in fact as anyone who lives in the south knows…. the heat will stick around well through October, but my mailbox tells a different story as the first signs of fall have begun to arrive in the way of home decorating and fashion catalogs. :-) The end of summer is always a bittersweet time for me. I love the summer and don’t want to see it end, but the warm and cozy feeling of the fall season will draw me in soon and I want to be ready. I feel a teeny bit more of a pull towards it now that the house is empty of family and friends who stayed with us over the Total Eclipse weekend. We were right in the sweet spot and saw 100%. It was very cool to witness first hand – quite awe-inspiring and something I will never f...

Excerpt from ‘City Mouse,’ by Stacey Lender

Sharon and Dave had just moved to Scarsdale from the city and I swear during brunch they slipped Aaron some suburban Kool-Aid with their day-old bagels. While the kids played on a giant plastic gym set in their cavernous empty living room , they proudly gave us a tour of their five-bedroom Colonial, closet by closet. Aaron seemed bored, as usual, but when we entered the en suite master bathroom , complete with double sinks and a rainfall shower, I heard him gasp. “A separate little room for the toilet!” he said, eyes glowing wide with bathroom envy. “You know,” Sharon said, “our builder is working on plans for the house next door.” “We’re not quite ready,” I replied. “But we can ta...

The long retail spine of Sydney Road, Brunswick, just north of Melbourne's CBD, was once a prosperous trading outpost on the way to the goldfields. These days it's a bohemian mix of variety stores, op shops, halal butchers and Lebanese bakeries. Take a side street to the west, however, and a different picture emerges. Sandwiched between Sydney Road and the Upfield train line is an area undergoing rapid and widespread transformation. Light industry is fast being replaced by mid- rise apartment buildings , their inhabitants attracted by the short commute into town and cheaper prices than in the city's south-east. The quality of these units is, on the whole, depressingly bad; think poor ventilation and bedrooms that "borrow" natural light (a weasel word for being dark and windowless). The occasional jazzy façade tries feebly to make up for otherwise cheap construction amid a chorus of greys. At ground level, carpark roller doors alternate with mean pocket garden...
