You will have lots of late nights in college (whether it be out with friends or in the library) and getting good sleep is so important. Invest in great bedding and the accessories can be on the cheaper side. Your taste will change throughout the next few years, so make sure the investment pieces are classic. Accessories can always be swapped out. I adore this duvet cover from Pottery Barn. The yellow marigold design makes the bed feel bright and fresh. You want your room to convey a positive feeling every time you walk in - and this will certainly do the trick.
For the black accessories, I've pulled simple black frames and a black/white memo board from Bed, Bath & Beyond. The black frames would look so sleek with some black & white prints. Take your favorite prom picture, shot of your dog, etc. and print it out for a few cents at your local photo shop.
The memo board from BB&B would be wonderful to have up on your wall (although keep in mind you won't be able to use the hanging system). Bring tons of Scotch 3M wall hanging tape and you'll be covered. I used that stuff to hang some really heavy things and it never left a mark on the walls!
Being creative with your storage is key when you are maximizing space in your room. These bins will be great for shoes, purses, school books, snacks, etc. These bins from Target add a cute yellow accent to match the bedspread.
Lastly, low-lighting is an important purchase you should make. Fluorescent lights are not my thing. If you'd like some softer lighting in your room, you should look into a lamp like this one from Target - for only $17!
Happy shopping!
