Creative Decor for College Dorm Rooms

Summer is winding down already, at least for those returning to college classes. If this is the first time your young adult will be leaving your home to attend school, the transition is likely to inspire quite a few emotions. One way to assist the new student to feel more comfortable when they arrive is to help them decorate with familiar and comfortable decor - whether their favorite photos, a familiar blanket or pillow, or a beautiful green plant from Julia's Florist. One of the best ways to create a sanctuary amidst all the college dorm rooms is to add living plants. Not only do they work hard to cleanse and purify the air, but they also create an overall sense of relaxation and well-being. Plants are known to increase focus and mental clarity, as well as remove the common toxins which can cause headaches and dizziness, such as fumes from pressed board, carpet, or printers. One plant known for such helpful behavior is the peace lily plant, shown below in a mixed arrangement.  Read More about Creative Decor for College Dorm Rooms »
