When I first moved into my junior year dorm room, it felt like I was moving into a sad, dull box - one with cinder-block walls, linoleum floors, and outdated vertical blinds. But instead of being turned off by the uninviting space, the optimist in me focused on all of the positive architectural aspects the space had to offer.
Whenever I design a space, I focus on the energy I want it to have - here, it was all about being warm, calm, and elevated. My main priority was covering up the cinder-block walls in order to add an element of softness to my room without making the space feel too small.
It was exactly the kind of solution I was looking for in my own space. Once I chose the curtain material, decided on a color palette, and visualized the final look, I was ready to get started on what would turn out to be my favorite and most successful DIY ever.
I found my curtains at HomeGoods for $25 per two panels. The ones I selected were linen and heavy, but if you wanted to go for a more airy look, you can opt for sheer, lightweight ones.
