It's move in time for college students across the country. Moms and dads are loading up the minivans one last time to haul their "babies" and all of their things to their homes away from home. 

 

"It's such an emotional time," says Tiny Abode Interiors founder Lori Dewitt. She would know! Her company specializes in dorm room and student apartment decor. With exclusive products like the hide-your-appliances Collegiate Cabinet or the ever-popular Neon Names, she has the tiny space solutions that make a dorm feel more like a home. "Parents are concerned about dropping their kids off in this new space, but when it feels cozy and homey, that makes it easier." Colorful Neon                                                     

 

                                            

                 

Both Doiron girls have embraced neon fairy lights in their respective dorm rooms. Nyla adds to the trend with a bright pink N. 

Hide-the-Stuff Bed Skirts

Lane Claire McDavid's bed skirt hides the under bed storage and makes the room look put together and calming. The headboard makes the room feel less industrial and the neon letter finishes off the trend. 

White on White on White

This example from Tiny Abode shows two trends! The heavy use of white means that everything looks clean and beachy. The full size rug (also huge right now!) brings interest and warmth. And, of course, spy that Collegiate Cabinet in the center that's hiding the fridge, microwave, and snack center. 

Do you have a college senior? Now is the time to start making that mood board! "We're already booking slots for next year," says Lori. Want on that list?

I'm considering that Collegiate Cabinet for my bedroom at home!
