lolita dorm room inspiration?

Especially where to buy cute duvet covers/bedspreads from, please!

[Anonymous No.7005016]

I'm long out of a dorm room, but my apartment space is tiny. Dumping anyway for the same kind of question.

I'm especially looking for some shabby chic items like bed sheets, comforters, and useful decor. I know that Target as some things, but my bank broke just looking at the prices of the Shabby Chic collection.

>>7005009
Btw, you might want to filter your search because most dorm beds are going to be on XL twin sizes, not regular twin sizes. You're probably best going to have to find any color of bedspreads in the size you need, but get a prettier/loliable cover and pillow sham.

[Anonymous No.7005022]

Target has this great bedding collection called Shabby Chic! I just basically bought my whole set from there.

[Anonymous No.7005027]

>>7005016
thanks for the advice. My battle plan for the bed is: huge fluffy duvet with cute duvet cover on top, really heavy crochet blanket below that, comfy sheets below that with fluffy ass pillow, and then if it is necessary some kind of down or foam underlayer for extra cloud qualities. <3

>>7005022
I should give that collection a second look.

My set was really cute, white floral on one side with lilac floral on the other and ruffles! Reminded me a bit of Eternal Rose.

Uuuhhh, this is the anon you're replying to, I just mentioned Target. I've been there so many times. In fact, I've "liked" Rachel Ashwell's page so I can oogle at stuff I cant afford, but want.

I'm looking for a more affordable option because I'd rather spend a hundred dollars on a dress, not a bedding set.

Sounds good.

I found my dorm bed pretty comfortable and I think my university changes them out every school year. I'm jealous of my dorm-roommate's bed though. I finally got a foam top for support because the bed provided by the apartment is a piece of shit (literally - I moved in and the wheels were broken, so I had to get a new mattress).

Anyway, have you gotten any idea on storage units or how much space you've got (in terms of dorm layout; are you sharing the space?)?

*had to get a new bed frame* derp.

You are right. And they're a little bit cheaper than Target's Shabby Chic collection. I'm in a limbo with decor. I love bright, multi-colored stuff with interesting patterns, but then I love and had in mind to make a little lolita-oasis with whites and pinks and roses.

[Anonymous No.7005058]

I can't really lolify my apartment since I don't think my husband would want a girly apartment, but maybe some people could share some loli inspired bathrooms? Our bathroom is painted a lighter blue with a white wooden beam ceiling. I have to fix the paint on the ceiling since it looks like shit.

I don't know how comfortable he'd be about shaving in a bathroom like this. Then again, I don't know who he is, so hey, maybe he wouldn't care at all. If it's alright, maybe you could do it similar to this, but with blue and white roses?

[Anonymous No.7005090]

I'll be sharing a room/closet/bathroom with two other people! I will have my bed (hopefully I won't end up with the top bunk, I'm praying for the singular non-bunk bed so I can get bed leg extenders for extra under-bed space) and one pretty typical dorm room desk to call my own, plus some space in the walk in closet. I'm not planning on keeping any of my bathroom stuff in the bathroom itself if I can help it, haha.

Unfortunately the place I'm living at (it's a coop) has a really shitty website with no pictures of the building I'm hoping to stay in, and I only got a brief look around so I don't have a good idea of how much space there will be. It'll be pretty cramped, though. The school I'm going to is really overcrowded, haha.

[Anonymous No.7005096]

>>7005058
Honestly, talk with him. My boyfriend lets me lolify the apartment since if anyone asks, he can play it off as 'Oh, y'know how it is! Women, hahaha'. He actually kind of likes it. It's soft and calm looking, and guys aren't really allowed to appreciate girly stuff.
Isn't that kind of funny? Guys can't like cute things. But aren't girls cute?
>>7005088
Haha, wow! I was just posting this bathroom. Got all confused when there was a duplicate file.

[Anonymous No.7005120]

>>7005090
Ah. Yeah, definitely use a shower caddy and shower shoes (flip flops). I didn't loft my dorm bed because I thought it would be a hassle, but I hope that you get the opportunity to.

Ugh, I hate looking through magazines and other images for dorm-life/decorating ideas. They make these overpriced spaces look luxurious and big when they're really not.

I would say that this is probably one of the most realistic examples of trying to decorate a dorm in a feminine manner, although, if it were up to me, I would just have my desk and some milk crates for storage.

That sucks. I have to share a space with three other girls. I can't say for the area in square feet, but the apartment's layout is stupid. And for 393/mo, it's not worth having to share a coin operated laundry machine and dryer (which btw, is a piece of poop) with 16 other people in the unit.

Man... I'm going to be making a lot of trips to my friend's place a block down to get my laundry done.

>>7005124
I don't think it would hurt. Flip flops go on sale like crazy at this point of the summer because shoe stores are trying to make room for "back to school" items.

I hope your roommates are diligent about cleaning up too. Mine aren't so much.

Does it? The other anon said their college apts are at 600+/mo so I figure 450/mo at a duplex for a large amount of space (compared to where I'm at right now and compared to dorms) isn't so bad. Plus we have a low cost of living here which is a plus. Internet sucks though, we only get two ISP choices and one of them isn't offered everywhere while the other has a data cap.

>>7005158
Nah it's cool. I think you should have just a bit of doubt in the people you'll be rooming with. My ex-roommate was kind of messy and used to leave dirty knives on the floor until we got a delightful visitor despite us being on the upper floors.

I think it's more the colors then anything. We both personally prefer a warmer color palette. Our bedding is red, black, and brown. If anything, we'd probably have to go more gothic or classic for the rest of the apartment. Especially since our ceiling is brown and our walls are tan.

Space is small, but on the plus side, pretty damn cheap. $675, utilities included for a fairly large studio in orange county.

It just depends on where you live. My area is a mix of lower-end living spaces (aka: crappy and cheap) and a rising amount of "luxury" apartments. Anything above $500 seems to have a laundry machine in each apartment. Unless you're dumb enough to buy the luxury apartments that are over $700/mo and just plain ol' don't know how to control your own spending, living off-campus is still cheaper than the dorms.

I'm currently paying 400 to SPLIT a 420 sq/ft apartment with my best friend, who is actually paying more than me (since she took what would have been the "living room" and I took the much smaller bedroom.

This is a really nice example of classy with mild lolita touches, I think. But who puts a lamp by the sink? I hope it's motion activated. And why nice dishes above the tub? My brain hurts when my design side of my brain hits my logic side.

Many of these designs are super cute and I'd love to implement them, but I don't really want to scare away any potential boyfriends I may eventually take back to my apartment.
Some lightweight curtains may have to be where I draw the line.

I'm >>7006877, we had white walls and nasty black carpets that were stained as hell. The space was so little that one area rug from Target was enough to cover most of it. It really can change the look of a room!

Or, you can do lots of smaller rugs to designate different areas, if the room is of a larger size.

Also: Curtains and lampshades in colors cast a bit of a 'glow' over the room and make it appear a different color. My room always seemed perpetually pink because of the light filtering through my lamp and my curtains.

My dorm was fucking awful, and we had to pay $1200 a month for a filthy, tiny space we had to share with several roommates that we generally weren't compatible with.
The carpet was so nasty and stained that nobody dared to walk around without shoes on, everything was generally broken, and we had bullshit rules to where they were treating us like middle school kids.
The landlord is a huge bitch, at that, who just sits around smoking pot all day.
We couldn't have anyone over - not even family - unless the landlord first met them and approved of them visiting, and all guests had to be gone by midnight.

At that, you have to give a 12-day notice before someone can stay the night, you can only have 1 person over (even if family), you have to be with them at ALL times, and you had to sign them in and out of the building. ID was required at all times.

There was this one girl that i had to room with that I have an entire fucking horror story from since she stalked me, pinned me to a fucking couch at one point and tried to make out with me, suck on my nipple, etc while I screamed to my other roommates to help and get her off (at which they yelled at me for being noisy, since it might get them in trouble for smoking hookah in the dorms)
Not only did the landlord only put me in a new room and not punish her at all, but that girl also would constantly throw stuff and spit on mine and my new roommate's door.
Which they refused to clean because 'it is technically our door, not the landlord's door.'
We swear there was shit mixed into what was thrown at the door.
(apparently, it is all still on the door. We feel bad for whoever lives there now.)

There is literally a petition going around that the students are signing to end all the bullshit.


I won't even get into the amount of stuff that was ruined/stolen while I lived there.
Worst nightmare and worst experience of my life truly was living in that hellhole of a college dorm.

Oh man, are you me? How about adding some light colored coverings over or on top of your furniture? Maybe the lighting in the room influences your perception with how dark the room seems.

If it still feels heavy and cramped, I suppose balancing dark colors with more light ones could work, like, using only light colored curtains and bed covers.

Oh well, I recently found out my garden has foxes, so I'll have a tea party with them! I'm sure that will work out well. Foxes can hold tea cups right?

And for any one with rental house experience do you know if you can paint your room? We have the house for two years and I'd cover the cost myself, but I'm not sure if the landlord would be ok with it. Wish I could just ask her but being out of the area by a long shot for the summer makes that difficult to do.

Yeaaaa honestly I've never made these myself so I'm not sure what are the actual results in using them besides aesthetics. I think what helps is that the lightbulb isn't too close to the doilies since it's in the middle of a large doily globe. I've seen similar things like yarn balls being used for tiny lamps in a row like christmas lights and they seem okay. Also, google pictures show someone made candle covers with them, but I think they used one of those flameless candles, which is kinda cool.

Aw man, I miss that vintage Coca Cola canister.

I can see why this is so frustrating for you, OP. There's not a lot of examples that would constitute as loliable. Most dorm decorating items for girls are typically colorful and involve heavy use of exotic patterns (which is cool and I kind of want to do that, but I also LOVE shabby chic). It doesn't help that for some reason, marketers and designers think that dorms are really big when in real life, you're sharing a space with people who don't always share your interests, and the space is limited in size and permanent structures. Man. I can't even find any "Gothic dorms".

Okay, so I had an idea and I was wondering if it was a good one.
So, my bed's going to be pretty bare because long story short I'm picky, I don't want to spend a lot of money and I don't have a lot of time left.
I was wondering if you guys thought it'd be a good ideas to DIY a throw pillow. I have some scrap fabrics left over from cosplay (gotta see, I may have a ditsy floral but I doubt it) and I have a TON of really cool lace I thrifted (non scratchy + not cheap actually pretty good IMO) I was probably going to take the batting out of a bed pillow I currently have that is super flat and then cut that in half then double layer it so the pillow'll be poofy. Then of course sew the cover around that.
I was wondering if this sounded like a good idea/any other DIYs I should think about? I have a ton of supplies.

[Anonymous No.7019104]

Uraggh, I'm pissed that I didn't buy pink and white rose garlands from Gordmans when they were in season. I really didn't think that fake flowers rotated seasonally. I went to a couple craft shops in town and didn't find anything I like. I wish I weren't so picky. Apparently, floral fabrics also rotate too. The only ones I see are unflattering against this ugly grey-beige wall that I'm not allowed to paint over. I really wanted to make some curtains.

>>7018943
I've never done that before. How about just making a pillow case with lace sewn in between the seams and then stuffing it with polyfibers before closing the rest of the seams? I don't know if this is what you're trying to tell us. I had to re-read your post a few times.

You are a fucking idiot then.

1.) You're not the OP, the fact that somebody else posted similar content a few minutes after you is no reason to be a jackass. Not every reply in a thread is meant to please your nor do they need to be approved by you either. You do not own this thread and you're not even the OP.

3.) The attitude of "well I won't spend money on ___ because I need to save up for my Lolita" is the kind of shit that shows maybe you can't afford the hobby. Try finding quality sheets anywhere that aren't going to run you about a hundred dollars. You're like the jackasses who want to find a good bra for under $50. Maybe you should be shopping at thrift stores.

I also came here to post Shabby Chic. It cost me $80 for the full bedding set, new, but only because there was an error at the cash register. The stuff is pretty nice, very soft. I like to use dusting powder in the bed to make it smell really nice. It fit on my dorm bed perfectly and the pillow sham is made of a thicker fabric than the normal pillowcase, but it's still pretty soft.

[Anonymous No.7021566]

>>7021359

Not everything needs to be decorated, but:

Depending on the stainless steel, it might be magnetic. Find out if it is. If it is, use cute magnets.

Try wrapping ribbons around the thin parts.

Try using washi tape around the base and on the edges of the mirror.

Figure out a way to glue some small cute cabochons on. Right now, resin roses are really in because of the Givenchy collection. Try adding a few clusters of roses to match your room.

>>7018943

Just buy a pillow to use as a base. More batting =/= fluffier, automatically. It could also just end up large and densely packed. Get a cheap throw pillow and add onto it, don't make it from scratch.

Overall, I'd highly suggest not making or planning a dorm room that is OTT, and waiting until you get to the dorm room itself before actually deciding on stuff. Maybe your dorm is the one room that has terrible blue/teal carpeting instead of nice wood floors. Maybe it's shaped weird. At some colleges, you can see them in advance, but in some, you can't.

If you have a roommate, I also suggest waiting. It's really weird to have a room that's half OTT Lolita/girly/whatever, and the other half "normal".

Also, I hate to be a bitch, but, you know how there's always that one asshole otaku that makes the rest look bad? The one who has a room covered in posters? A lot of OTT rooms are like that. If you want to make friends and not be that weirdass in the poofy dress, I'd suggest toning it down and maybe not wearing Lolita to class or going overboard with a OTT room. If it's more similar to a storefront for BtSSB than a Pinterest page, people might talk.

[Anonymous No.7021573]

>>7012259

Try temporary wallpaper. If the walls are still in okay condition and the paint is kinda new, check out stuff like Tempaper or the Sherwin-Williams stuff. It's wallpaper that goes on like a wall decal and comes off really easily too.

>>7011132

I'm going to guess it's standard dorm furniture. Get a blotter and other nice accessories for the top of your desk, especially in pastel colors. Get a rug for the floor, obviously, in a brighter color. Add curtains (normal curtains, not a canopy) if you can, maybe add some string lights if that's your thing, and put up posters. If you can afford new bed stuff, get it in a nice color too. If your pastels match or look good together, you should be fine. If you're in a dorm where everyone has shitty wood furniture, don't worry, most people's rooms will look worse than yours.

Look, I'm sorry if I came off that way, but it's not like I meant to. I understand the concept of quality usually equaling a higher price.

But yeah, I'm just worried about waiting because once I get there I won't have access to all of my fabric or supplies. (too much to fit) Luckily I'll be bringing a sewing machine if everything goes well so if I find some stuff later down the road I can alter it.

Not necessarily otaku, but I'm worried that my roommate and I's sides of the room will clash a lot in terms of interests. She's into bright colours and bird prints and nature inspired stuff.

The apartments were worse off than the dorms where I went to uni. You got your own, confined space with a door you could lock, sure, but it was a tiny room with barely enough room for the bed, chest of drawers and desk you were assigned. The ceilings were also too low to loft the bed over your desk, so you were pretty much stuck with shuffling around a tiny cubicle. I only knew one person who moved into one of those apartments and didn't move out at the end of a single semester, and that was because she was never there and spent most of her time at her boyfriend's house off campus.

I lived in the dorms for two years quite happily, then moved to a house off campus for two years, and lived alone in a renovated "apartment" room in another house for my final year.

OP here, I'm not actually living in a dorm, I'll be living in the school's coop. Needless to say, it's very similar to dorms, only with more bureaucracy, no cleaning ladies, and much more relaxed rules as far as decorating goes. It's really cheap, especially considering that you only have to do 4 hours of chores per week. If we say there's about 11 weeks in a quarter, and I'm saving $6k per quarter (compared to dorms), that's about $140/hr that they're paying me to either do household chores that I do for free right now, or even better to sit at a desk and file paperwork.

If I'm forced to live with other people I would much rather it be in an apartment style setup where I get my own bathroom

>>7026561
Are the dorms really quieter than the apartments? Its the other way around here

>>7026585
Oh, that sucks, that sounds like my old student apartment. My new one is huge, have a queen size bed and still plenty of room to move around, big bathroom too. I guess it all depends on what the area is like

>>7026589
Oh my god this sounds amazing. I need to figure out how I can do this at my school

It's actually ridiculously easy to find damask stuff, so maybe that'd fit your needs. Maybe damask in brown and white, brown in black, or black and white? You could also try the guy's sections for more basic stuff like plaid. Or, just check out the adult's section instead of a dorm or teen section of a site.

You probably won't be able to find lacy, fluffy, girly stuff in those colors. However, honestly, as a college student, you're probably going to have a shitty bed anyway. I had a captain's bed last year that was nice, but I know other people that had frame beds that were hard to make look cute. Bed skirts shams, etc. are fine on the department store floor, but in a dorm room, are extremely impractical.

Also, figure out where people are going to sit when they come over. If they're sitting on your bed, do you really want them to muss up something that's going to take you longer to fix? Or hard to wash?

As cute as a lot of the rooms linked are, some are definitely more children's rooms that adult's rooms. Do you want to be known as that weirdass on campus with the OTT room? Try adding some more mature elements like a bookcase to your room to offset the kiddie parts.

Don't assume your room is going to look a certain way until you go there. If you get a nice kawaii pink bedding set and your floor is navy blue, that shit is not gonna look very nice.

I lived in our dorms up until my senior year. Our dorms are apartment style so they're big enough. My freshman year I had a double though, and it sucked so much it was such a crappy experience. Luckily all upperclassmen housing is singles. My senior year I got an apartment with some friends and we all have huge rooms. Plus, it's right behind the school cafeteria. It's only like....a 30 second longer commute to my classes.

they don't clean the students's rooms, they hire cleaning ladies to clean the bathrooms/hallways/common areas in all the UC dorms I have visited.

In the coop cleaning of communal areas like that are done by students as part of their 4 hours per week.

cleaning ladies to clean the hallways and what not is why i'm thinking anon meant. every dorm i've ever heard of has these.
in coops, the residents are responsible for all house work, whereas in dorms students are only responsible for their rooms and whatever common spaces they might use (e.g. cleaning up their garbage in study rooms).

Sometimes, the cleaning ladies clean bathrooms. Sometimes, they do not. Example:


My college had public bathrooms on each hall. They were cleaned by the staff, as were the hallways.

My sister's college had public bathrooms on each hall. They were cleaned by the students who left notes asking for certain cleaning supplies on a door for staff. Staff would get them supplies and leave them in the closet for students to use. Staff still cleaned hallways.

UIUC has private bathrooms for each suite for the graduate dorms. Everyone shares with one or two people but none exit into the hallway, they actually connect two rooms kinda. However, even though they are "private" suite bathrooms, they are still cleaned by cleaning staff instead of students.

And, in some colleges, there are dorms made up entirely of suites with private bathrooms, which are cleaned by the students themselves and not by staff.

My college cleaning ladies come in weekly (I think) to clean our bathroom and counter space in our kitchen area. They just don't go into our rooms. Each "room" has two separate bedrooms, one bathroom and one kitchen area with a sink and fridge.
