You’re past the freshman dorm phase and now you’re in upperclassman or grad student housing—maybe a suite, apartment-style dorm, or single room. You’re older, you need a functional study space for serious work, and you’re done with the plastic storage bins and poster aesthetic. Your space needs looking more adult while still working within university…
You’re heading to college and while everyone’s focused on just making dorm rooms functional, you’re wondering how to make yours actually nice.
