It only takes a few steps to turn boring college quarters into a pimped-out pad. • Step 1: Hit the floor • Arrange furniture to maximize space without obstructing windows so you don't block natural light. Add pieces that have multiple uses, like a well-stocked mini-fridge that doubles as an end table. • Tip • Lofting your bed is a good way to provide extra floor space if your room's particularly small. • Step 2: Color your world • Add color to your dorm room with fabric furniture coverings, soft rugs, and new bedding. Remember, you're a legal adult now -- no logos or fictional characters. • Step 3: Be yourself • Show your personality with a few posters and mementos; choose personally significant items that can act as conversation pieces when you meet new people. • Tip • Put posters in frames to add class and durability. • Step 4: Clean up • Get a trash can and empty it regularly -- the smell of spoiled food will never be associated with a pimped-out room. Consider investing in a vacuuming robot for when you need to clean up and get the party started! • Step 5: Light it up • Invest in lighting options so you can change your room's ambiance easily. Choose a desk light with an adjustable shade you can turn away from a sleeping roommate, and a lamp with a dimmer to help you make the most of extracurricular life. • Tip • Don't use halogen lamps, as many colleges prohibit them in dorm rooms. • Step 6: Apply yourself • Check out any gadget or game that fits in your dorm. Your room should function as a retreat where you can blow off steam and feel like the master of your domain, no matter how small that domain might be. • Did You Know? • Harvard's Massachusetts Hall, designed in 1718, is the oldest college dorm in the U.S.
