When you move into your dorm room, you won’t want to have an empty room with no flavor at all.  Instead, you’re going to want a room that reminds you of home.  Even if you’re not the best interior decorator, you’ll want to consider adding a few plants here and there to your room to make it a little more livelier.

Know what’s going to fit – The first thing that you want to do is know exactly how big your dorm room is going to be.  You’ll want to first move in all of your furniture, and get it situated the way you want it.  After this, you’ll be able to determine where you can fit a plant that suits your tastes.

Work with your roommate - Unfortunately, in college, you’re going to have to work with a roommate in your room, and if you want to get along, you better agree on some things.  If you’re looking to add a little flavor to your room, ask your roommate on what he/she thinks when it comes to design ideas.  Just don’t go out there, and buy the first plant you see, because it may upset your roommate.

Shop for your plant - Many places have a great selection of plants.   For example, Amazon has a huge selection of fake plants.  You can sort from colors, and size.  Remember when shopping, you’ll want to make sure you don’t get something too big.  If you don’t want to shop online, you may want to consider going to a craft store.

College should be fun, and the more you make your dorm feel like home, the better you’ll feel whenever you step inside of your room.  A plant is one of the million options that you can use when it comes to decorating your room.  Try these tips when you’re looking to purchase a plant for your dorm.
