Stylish Fundamentals
Jessica Hansen is the blogger behind LovelyUndergrad.com, a design site for decorating college dorm rooms and first apartments. Here are her top 15 must-haves as you head off to college this year.
A Pretty Rug
A floral area rug is one of the easiest ways to add color and pattern to your room. Plus, your feet will thank you in the morning when you step on a soft rug rather than the cold tile floor. The Big Garden Printed Rug from Urban Outfitters is bursting with color and boasts a cheerful, slightly retro flower pattern.

Modular Shelving
Cube-shaped storage units are lightweight, easy to arrange, and extremely versatile—all major pluses for dorm-dwellers! The Expedit Shelving Unit from Ikea, for example, could store books, snacks, hair and beauty products, or even shoes, and it is a definite upgrade from milk crates.

A Cool Fan
Yes, it’s 2010, but there are still dorms out there that aren’t air-conditioned. And even when you do have A/C, sometimes the residence hall just can't keep up with the end-of-August heat. Choose a fan in a bright color or vintage-inspired design, like this Retro Yellow fan by Deco Breeze, to turn a utilitarian appliance into a piece of decor.

A Comfy Desk Chair
You'll be spending lots of time studying at your desk (we hope!). And you won’t get much done if you’re constantly fidgeting in your chair. So pick out a desk chair that you won't mind being stuck in for two or three hours at a time. Opt for something in a bold color with ample cushioning such as this orange Fabric Task Chair from Target.
