Decorate Your Walls With This Free App!
Weâve just discovered a cool new app for wall artwork, and itâs free! Anybody whoâs lived in a dorm room knows how bare the stark walls can be. What do you put on your wall? Once youâve spent the money on wall art, who wants to change it and spend more money? We found this new free Android and iOS app, Artkick, that has a surprisingly fabulous solution to bare walls.

Having just finished four years in college and lots of dorm and apartment living, here are some dorm 101 tips from Alex Hutchison, Marketing Intern with American Made Dorm.
Share! Communicate with your roommate before hand in order to find out whoâs bringing what. There is no point in both of you bringing a fridge, TV or a microwave, and even if there was you wouldnât have enough room to do so! I already had a small TV at home, and luckily my roommate had a mini fridge so it worked out perfectly. Talk to your roommate and figure out who should bring what in order to save on costs and space. I also found that when buying items for both of you to use, whether itâs a microwave or storage cubes, it is best for each of you to buy one item rather than splitting the total cost. That way when it is time to move out, you wonât have to deal with figuring out who gets what.
Coordinate! Even if you arenât into the idea of buying the exact bedding as your roommate (you are likely to have different tastes in dĂŠcor) try to coordinate your colors and bedding. By doing so your room will feel much more homey and even a little bigger because it wonât seem as if there are two completely different sides! I didnât move in with my roommate until later, so we had two different comforters. However, since mine was all white and hers was white, yellow and gray I was able to buy throw pillows for my bedding that tied our room dĂŠcor together. Not only do pillows add a ton of personality to your room, they are great to have when you are studying all night in your dorm room. You wonât want to lean up against a bare cinder block wall all night! We have a variety of accent pillows to choose from at http://www.amdorm.com, as well as some pretty euro shams that are great for monogramming! #gallery-0-5 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-0-5 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

We also have rugs and curtains (think CLOSET CURTAINS to hide the mess) to choose from, which are two items I would strongly suggest to help bring your whole dorm room together (not to mention keeping your feet warmâŚcold floors are awful in the fall and winter months).
Decorate! You are going to be living in this room for at least a year, so you might as well make it enjoyable! Most dorm room walls are made of cinder blocks and Iâm not sure it can get any more boring than that. After youâre settled in, have a craft night with your roommate and make DIY projects to cover those bland walls.There are tons and tons of tutorials and guidelines on Pinterest and various other websites so I am sure you can find something you want to make for your room. Even if you donât consider yourself âcrafty,â give it a try! You will be surprised at how much you can do on your own if you just follow the steps. Another plus of painting your own canvases or building your own jewelry holder is that it is much cheaper than buying them from a store. Make the best of it and have fun decorating your room. After all, it will be your home for the next 9 months. Have fun with it!

Adjusting: College Study Habits
Adjusting: College Study Habits
By Alex Hutchinson, Marketing Intern for American Made Dorm & Home.
One of the most difficult adjustments as a college freshman has to do with what we all actually go to college for. You likely guessed it: Â Education! Things like going to class, creating good study habits, and prepping for tests. For most, this will be the hardest adjustment.
In high school, you had a schedule set for you. InâŚ

By Alex Hutchison, recent college grad and marketing intern at American Made Dorm & Home. As we all know, dorm rooms are tiny. For some of you, it may be the first time in your entire life you have had to share a room. When you combine the size of the room, or lack thereof, with the that fact that your roommate might be a complete stranger, letâs just say you have a lot to adjust to! Today, I am going to share with you some tips on storage in hopes of maximizing your dorm room!
Bring storage crates and storage solutions. Storage crates and bins will become your new best friend! I didnât bring nearly enough with me, and ended up having to search for more once I got to school, which is harder than you think in a college town where everyone is buying the exact same things. Be sure to get all shapes and sizes in order to fill every space possible, as some are bigger than others. Thereâs a company we work with at American Made Dorm called Dorm Cubby, and they make these great storage units for either over the bed or over the desk. #gallery-0-7 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-7 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-7 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-7 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Put a Dorm Cubby over Your Desk!
See How Much Storage You Can Get?
Utilize your space.  My roommate and I decided bunking our beds was the best way to go. This still gave us some underbed storage, as well an entire wall to store everything else. It also made the room feel a bit bigger, which we really liked. Your closet is a great place to store things as well. Try a closet organizer for extra pockets! Also use a curtain like these made by American Made Dorm and Home to cover your closet! It allows you to hide all the clutter while adding a touch or personality to your room. They come in tons of fabrics and colors made to coordinate with their dorm bedding (comforters and duvets).
Only bring the necessities. Chances are you will go home at least once before the end of the semester so you should be able to get by with only that seasonâs clothes until then. I would highly suggest this if at all possible. Of course, bring a few things that arenât in season just in case, because you never know what Mother Nature might decide to do!
Bring dual purpose items. Try to get items that can be used for multiple things. For example, they make storage ottomans that are perfect for storing your scarfs, or even jeans, but also double as extra seating or maybe even a nightstand. The more you can do with less in a dorm room, the better.
Donât forget a message board!  One of the peel and stick message boards (or wall calendar) for the wall was a must. I kept notes and reminders on it every day.  They come with a dry erase pen that can hang from a hook so you donât lose it. These are great and come in lots of colors that match up with your room decor. They can be moved so if you change your room layout, the message board or calendars just peel off the wall and can be postioned on another wall.  You can get those along with your dorm bedding at American Made Dorm & Home. #gallery-0-8 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-8 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-8 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-8 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Conquering the "Freshman 15"
Written by Alex Hutchison, Marketing Intern for American Made Dorm
Nobody really knows what to expect going into college as a freshman. One thing is for sure:  it is full of surprises! No matter how much advice you get or how many articles you read, there will still be unexpected things thrown your way. I know for me one of the biggest adjustments was attempting to be somewhat healthy and fitâŚ

Dorm Decor Inspirations and DIY
Dorm Decor Inspirations and DIY
Written by Alex Hutchison, recent college graduate and marketing intern for American Made Dorm. What great ideas!
Dorms can be a bit bland. Okay, letâs be honest, they are extremely bland! Itâs hard to make a tiny cinder block room feel cozy and homey, especially if you are moving in with a complete stranger. On top of all that, most incoming freshmen are on a fairly tight budget. Trust me,âŚ

This post is written by Alex Hutchison, marketing intern for American Made Dorm. A recent college grad, sheâs got some great insights for incoming freshmen.
As a recent college graduate, and by recent, I mean less than two weeks ago, I find myself reminiscing on my time in college quite often. Â As a Western Kentucky Hilltopper, I experienced many new and unforgettable things; but, as crazy as this may sound, I think living in the dorm is one of my fondest memories. Â Most people hear the word âdormâ and automatically give it a negative connotation. I wonât lie, I probably had a negative attitude towards it coming in. Having a sister who is only 17 months younger than you means you share everything growing up when you have a family of six. From clothes to dolls to Barbie jeeps, and even a room with reversible bedding so we could mix and match. Â There were times we loved it, and of course times we wanted to kill each other. Â Needless to say, you can imagine our excitement when our parents decided to build a house where everyone would have their own room. I would finally have my own space and all the freedom in the world to decorate it and arrange it however I pleased, which is something I have always had a passion for. I made that room my home for about six years until it was time to move away to college, which meant the âdreadedâ dorm I had always heard about. Â How was I supposed to move from my own private sanctuary at home to what seemed like a 2Ă4 box with a girl I would never be as close to as my own sister?! Â Well, it was a major adjustment to say the least. Â For starters, Iâm girl with lots of things- clothes, shoes, pillows, nick nacks, you name it. Â Iâm also the girl that wanted my dorm room to look like it came straight off of Pinterest. Â I wanted it to be picture perfect, cozy and quaint, and a place my roommates and I could call home for the next year. Just as everything in life goes, it didnât turn out exactly how I had thought! Iâve put together a list that might help your transition.
1) Expect the unexpected. Things wonât go as planned. Whether you get stuck with a random roommate at first who could care less what your new âhomeâ looks like or you forgot youâd need a mattress pad to make the bed more comfy , more than likely something will go wrong. Just breathe and remember youâre about to have the best four years of your life! Things will work out, they did for me and they will for you too!
2) Plan ahead. One thing I found is that once I got to school, I didnât want to spend my time going to thrift stores to find the perfect lamp or to a craft store for canvases to paint for those bland walls. Â Talk to your roommate ahead of time to see where she stands and make sure you have all necessary grounds covered!
3) Have fun! For most of you itâs probably the first time youâll be living on your own. Use unexpected items for everyday purposes. For example, my roommate and I used curtains to cover our closets! Not only does it hide your clothes, but it adds some personality to your new home. Bunk your beds, or rearrange your room after the first semester for a fresh perspective! Coordinate your bedding with fun throw pillows and blankets. Trust me, it makes living in that tiny box much more enjoyable to come home to. Plus it makes the room seem bigger rather than two separate sides.
Hopefully, with these tips your transition to dorm life will go much smoother. Enjoy it while you can because in four years from now, youâll wish you were moving into that 2Ă4 box and starting all over!

Itâs May, and in between all the graduation activities, parties, and end of school goodbyes, we can bet youâve started thinking just a little bit about your dorm room decor. Youâve probably looked around on Pinterest (be sure and check out our American Made Dorm Idea Boards) and in some local stores. If you still canât decide, weâve got some great pairings to get you started!
You may want to wait and coordinate with your roommate, but in actuality, most incoming freshmen donât wait for roommate assignments, which often come in late July or early August. Plus, you can usually get great deals on dorm bedding and college comforters earlier rather than later. Â The extra long twin mattress that most college campuses have in their dorms is a size that sells out pretty quickly in the big box stores and in online specialty stores like American Made Dorm.Â
Need help? Call on our team at American Made Dorm and theyâll help walk you through all the options and answer all your questions. But first, take a look at the 2014 dorm bedding designs from the experts in dorm life at American Made Dorm!
