“Designing Dorm Rooms: Three Interior Designers Transform a College Space”

As the new school year approaches, many students are gearing up to move into their college dorm rooms. For some, this can be an exciting opportunity to express their personal style and create a cozy space to call their own. But for others, the prospect of decorating a small, bland room can be daunting.

That’s where interior designers Laura Hodges, Patrick Mele, and Xavier Donnelly come in. We sent these three talented designers back to school with a challenge: take a photo of the same college dorm room and create a new design for it in their unique style. The result? Three completely different, yet equally inspiring, dorm room designs.

Laura Hodges, known for her modern and minimalist aesthetic, transformed the dorm room into a sleek and sophisticated space. With clean lines, neutral colors, and plenty of storage solutions, her design is perfect for the student who values simplicity and functionality.

On the other hand, Patrick Mele brought a pop of color and whimsy to the room with his eclectic design. Mixing patterns, textures, and bold hues, Mele’s dorm room is a vibrant and energetic space that is sure to inspire creativity and joy.

Xavier Donnelly, with his love for vintage and bohemian elements, created a cozy and eclectic dorm room that feels like a home away from home. With layered rugs, cozy textiles, and plenty of plants, Donnelly’s design is perfect for the student who wants to create a warm and inviting space to relax and unwind.

So, which designer inspires you most? Whether you’re drawn to Hodges’ modern simplicity, Mele’s colorful eclecticism, or Donnelly’s bohemian charm, there’s something for everyone in these three unique dorm room designs. Take inspiration from these talented designers and create a space that reflects your own personal style and makes your dorm room feel like home this semester.
