| DS wants no decoration, shelves, hooks etc for his room. I think when we arrive he will be surprised to see many others put such things in their rooms. I’d love to prescout photos of typical dorm rooms so we can rush off to bed bath and beyond or target and pick them up befre apouse and I head back. All the images I keep finding are of elaborately decorated girls rooms. I just want to make sure son has places to hang his wet towel, put extra clean towels, add a little personality. Thanks for any help. |
Adding personality is on him. Command hooks and an underbed box for extra storage. That’s enough of a start. |
Those Pintrisr photos are not typical of what I see online. Storage container for under mid-lofted bed and one flag for the wall is typical (university of flag) it hone state perhaps. |
| I think that when he arrives he will fit right in. |
| Boys at my son's college (oos flagship) and daughter's college (New England SLAC) do not typically decorate. They might put up a flag from the school, but that's it. |
+1 The most I’ve seen for boys we know who started this year is a school flag. |
| My boys never added anything to the wall. My nephew put up a flag of the Vikings and that is it. |
| LET GOOOOOOOO |
| Lol please don’t make “add a little personality.” |
| My current freshman boy also didn't want any decoration. just a flag (of his university.) It's his room...if he wants to decorate it, he'll find a way. |
| Hooks are a necessity not a decoration. The rooms I saw at my son's school, led light stripes, maybe, but less often, one poster or such on the wall. Plastic set of drawers for storage. Solid colored rug. A big pillow to lean against the wall behind bed, like to act as a headboard. |
That's a boy room decorated by an over attached Mom. |

My son wanted some extra pillows so that he could prop himself up in bed while studying.
Also, he bought some old license plates from DC, and put those up on the wall. I thought they looked kind of cool. If you join the parent group for your son's college on Facebook, I have found that parents sometimes post those photos of move-in day once the room is decorated. Most boy rooms seem pretty subtle. |
