Top Tips for Your Dorm Decor | Northwest Indiana Senior Photographer
Hey, all you going off to college!
And Hey, all of you who just want a cool room!
I just collaborated with interior designer Kristen Handtke of Top Knot Interiors to bring you information that is GOLD! She has put together tips, links and inspiration that will make your dorm room stylish, homey, cozy and functional! She herself enjoyed the college life at Bethel College earning her interior design degree… where her dorm room was noticed and selected to be a show-model dorm room for prospective students. Lots of friends and happy times took place in her little corner of the world. And now she is passing on to you her best tips for your very own space! Follow her on Facebook and Instagram to keep on eye on style! @topknotinteriors
Kristen styled and gathered a dorm collection for your inspiration of chic grey, blush, white and gold tones. Use this fabulous collection for yourself or make it a springboard of ideas for your own!
