Having a dorm room can really feel like getting your own place, especially when you use some creativity and imagination to personalize your dorm room and make it truly your own. Whether you share the room with someone else or have a private room, making a statement about who you are can be a fun and interesting way to make the room feel more like home. This reduces stress, and feelings of homesickness, for most teenagers and young adults.

Diva dorm design is fun and unique, and often includes using sexy and feminine designs to express your individuality. Leopard or cheetah print, zebra or tiger stripes, and similar animal designs are very popular, but can be difficult to match with other decor, especially if leopard print is a new color palette for you. Instead of choosing tacky accessories or trying to match shades, here are some helpful tips toward designing the perfect dorm room for a diva that chooses leopard print decor.

Although most of us subscribe to the theory that colors or patterns have to match exactly in order to work well together, this is an outdated thought that hinders creativity. Use your imagination to design colors and shades that work well together without matching exactly. Accessories can be a great way to pull the two together if you are unsure about the overall look, and allowing your diva to use her imagination to blend colors and shades can be a great way to help her feel at home so far away from her childhood bedroom. She may be feeling grown up in her new dorm room, but helping her feel comfortable is still a part of the joy of being a great parent or caregiver.

Consider pairing your leopard print with hot pink, teal, bright green, or even a bright purple to add some color to what would seem like a dark crowded room. It may be tempting to pair your leopard print bed linens and comforter with black and tans, but this can make the room seem very small. It can also give the room a tacky feel or appearance, especially if all colors are similar shades without matching.

An example: With that same comforter and sheet set, use an off-white wall, with leopard print curtains, and use teal tie-backs to add a splash of color. Continue the pattern with teal pillowcases, and a teal throw rug. Satin or silk are comfortable and clean feeling, and add a touch of class to the room as well. For the finishing touches, add accents and wall art that bring the two together, such as leopard print picture frames with teal “Diva” stencils.

Diva dorm design can be a fun and creative way to let a girl use her imagination and begin life in a new direction. Designing a dorm room around leopard print does not have to be tacky or bland. It can be fun and colorful, and give the room her personality and a unique sense of style. Let her be the decision maker, and do not be afraid to let her do some experimenting.
