How to decorate my male dorm room, I'm useless at that sort of thing? (single room)?

Q. My room is mostly decorated of things I picked up over the years like posters and stuff. But I don't want to move my whole room to college because my parents are keeping my bedroom the way it is until I graduate and get a house. So what sort of things should I decorate my room with? What are the typical things you'd see in a guy dorm room? Or should I just not decorate at all?

A. First you will need a couple sheet sets in twin xl (extra long)
for ex. gray/blue stripe sheets (3rd option) and a new coordinating comforter.

You can make a picture collage.
Cut out any shape out of thin cardboard. (a cereal box works great)
To make the hanger, punch two holes 1/2 an inch apart 1 inch from the top in the center, thread the ends of a twisty tie (the paper covered wire used to close bread) thru the holes, twist at the back, make a loop and twist the ends.
Use a glue stick or a small drop of glue for each pic, you can arrange the pics side by side or overlapping.
Or group pics in frames or a multi-pic frame.
Best to arrange on the floor with biggest pic in the middle before hanging.

Is there a problem with that one ?

A. Slide your bed toward the closet so it is centered between the bookshelf and closet with the table alongside.
Or move the bookshelf onto the other wall and center your bed with the headboard against the wall with the table left of the window where the bookshelf was.

Get new bedding if yours looks kiddish.
