With the hectic holiday season over, you are back in classes, back in the dorms, or nestled away in your room at home prepping for the new semester ahead! The new year is the perfect time to hit the reset button with a room makeover -so today we’re taking the time to refresh, reorganize and clear out the clutter. You don’t need to make over your entire room to feel refreshed — just a few key updates can transform your space and make it feel like home all over again.

FRESHEN UP FABRICS

Make your bed with crisp colors and textures — like a ruffled quilt and heart print shams. How fresh and pretty does this space feel?!

MAKE IT WORK

Clear out the clutter from last semester. Clear off your desk and start anew, grab a few baskets and bins to keep school supplies handy when you need them, and tucked away when you don’t. We also like adding a personalized corkboard to show off photos of friends and pin reminders for big assignments – those little touches make study sessions much more bearable!

PUT IT ALL AWAY

Find a home for everything from nail polish to notebooks by choosing pretty storage pieces you’ll be excited to flaunt atop your selves. We are loving gold accents for our space, but pick a color that speaks to you and you’ll be more likely to keep everything tidy.
