Being a decorator-mom as I am, I had a hard time finding guys’ dorm bedding, storage and furniture for my son that would have any personality. I mean, I had gathered XL twin sheets- no sweat, but as far as nice dorm comforters and coverlets, I had to dig deeper. I guess, because guys are not as vocal as girls when it comes to their dorm rooms, they are being almost ignored by the retailers. Who cares if every guy’s room looks the same? Well, some of them do, just don’t say it.

1. Last Minute
Cool Dorm
Stuff for Guys

2. Everybody knows that dual function storage and cool, cozy bedding
make a dorm room, right? Ironically, if you are looking for dorm
decorating ideas for a guy, not a girl, interesting stuff is hard to find.
