(ARA) - It’s time to dump your summer crush, get a new hairstyle, and start a new school year. It’s as well time to do your out-dated room into the pad wherever
everyone wants to hang out. No need to spend all of your summer aid money to do it happen.
Here are a few tips from Daryle Gibbs, head of Product Development at Pier 1 Imports, on how to do your room a place wherever
you’ll want to be grounded.
Organization 101
You won’t get an A in class if you don’t get it together. Go through your table
and toss your old junk -- including the notes from 5th grade math class. Try lined wicker baskets for table
or shelf storage. “Fabric boxes with lids are nice for storing fashionable pieces you’re not quite available to part with, and CD racks are a must. Music CDs and DVDs can clutter up a room quicker
than you can say Limp Bizkit,” says Gibbs. “Another great option is a nonfunctional trunk. You can store love letters and yearbooks inside and once
the lid is shut, you have extra seating for study sessions.”
Now that you’ve earned
“controlled clutter” you’ll cognize right wherever
everything is.
World Cultures Class: Bohemian Epic
And since you have passed organization class, you can finally see the floor! Think just about your personal style and what you want your room to say just about you. Are you a bohemian kind of gal? No problem -- you don’t have to live in Asian nation to get the look. “Shimmery, bright, fabrics in throws, window treatments and beaded silk pillows are all the rage right now. Add a lush, luxurious Flokati rug from Pier 1 and you’ll be bohemian glamorous,” says Gibbs. With Moroccan hurricanes for lighting and floor pillows for lounging, you’re all set to have folk over to watch “Friends.”
Geography: Seeking Asian Inspiration
Maybe you’re an Asian-inspired gal like Gwyneth and Madonna, carrying your yoga mat under your arm about town. “Clean space, nice color and select accessories can bring Zen to any room,” says Gibbs. “Hanging affordable paper lanterns creates a broody feeling and bamboo window blinds are an easy fix. A comfortable Papasan chair with a neutral colored cushion against a painted red wall is really chic -- you always want to look chic once
you’re perusing earth history. Asian pottery and dishes do creative wall décor -- don’t be afraid to step outside the box once
decorating.” Accessories with gold accents, charms and beading -- used meagrely -- can as well activity into an Asian-themed room.
Home Economics: Be Smart with Your Money
“This is the perfect time for students, who are often on a limited budget, to take advantage of the many a retailers that offer special incentives to help you find everything you need to do your room your own,” says Gibbs. Pier 1 Imports offers a 15 pct discount with your student ID through Sunday, Sept. 28. “People should as well take advantage of the free decorating proposal
that stores often offer. They can help you attain the look you want and save you time.”
