Hi Reader! I have a high school graduate this year! Believe it or not...college move-in day is coming quick for many students! Whether you're sending your first child off to college or helping someone create a home away from home, now is the perfect time to start planning. The best dorm rooms aren't just pretty—they're organized, functional, and feel like you. As an interior designer, one of my favorite challenges is making tiny spaces feel bigger, more comfortable, and more personal. But first download the July Home Maintenance Checklist now! this HOUSE | your HOME✨ Design Tip of the Month When decorating a dorm room, most people think vertically... But they forget to think under the bed. That space can hold an incredible amount of storage with rolling bins, drawers, or vacuum bags. Raising the bed (if allowed by your school) instantly creates valuable square footage without making the room feel crowded. Tiny spaces require smart design—not more stuff.

"Put your laundry in the hamper." "Pick up your backpack." "Hang up your clothes." There had to be a better way! What are these piles trying to tell me?
