When you arrive at your dorm room for the first time, you’re going to find that it is rather boring.  You’re going to feel as if you’re in a jail cell with concrete blocks surrounding you.

What makes me laugh is that you’re paying $10,000+ a year for this dump.  While I don’t blame many for getting apartments in the surrounding area, some students don’t have a choice, but to stay here.

To make your dorm room feel like a home, there are some things that you can do.  While it’s going to require a few items, one of the things that can make it feel more like a home is a dorm room.

Since there are so many rugs out there, here are a few things that you should know about them before you set out and make a purchase.

What kind of rug do you want?

There are a few types of rugs that you can choose from.  Listed below are a few types and styles that you can select:

  • Area rugs
  • Runner rugs
  • Hand Tufted
  • Machine Made
  • Braided

Most students would probably pick an area rug, as this rug is going to take up good portion of your room.  A runner rug is more like a rug for the hallway, while the other three are just a personal choice.

The design

There are many types that you can choose from, but the most important thing is the design.  You’re going to want to look into the design of your rug.  Look at the overall feel of your dorm room.  From there, you’re going to want to get a rug that is going to match the design.  If you’re going to have a black room, don’t get a pink rug.

The size

It helps to measure the size of your room, sot hat you know what kind of rug that is going to fit.  You don’t want to get something too big, nor do you want to get something that is too large.  Measure out the area where you want the rug and go from there.
