At a loss for how to make your dorm room feel like home? Curtains to the rescue!
Whether printed or solid, drapes are one of the most versatile things on your college packing list. Read on for the many ways you can use them, besides covering your windows!
Cover a Wall for Extra Coziness
Wall-to-wall draperies are great for adding dimension, color and can cover a multitude of sins. If you’ve got uneven window placement or ugly, beat-up walls try this look. In this space the wall of curtains acts as a visual headboard and unifies the look of the room.

Make a Wall Hanging
