Student Bedrooms – vintage decor

vintage style student bedroomWhy settle for the same old look in your student apartment bedroom or dorm room? Look out of the box (and big box stores) for ideas on creating a resting space that is functional, inspiring, and full of personality. A vintage style student room does all this.

vintage bedroom orangeGrandmother vintage? Raid the ole attic and see what pops up, or out, and into your new student bedroom. Old silk sheets make great pillow cases with vintage glam flair. An antique phone and clock are essential, especially if you get them to work! And don’t reject the unusual colors, like this orange bed cover and curtains.
