Decor that doesn't leave holes in the wall or require a great deal of work to swap out when you want to try out a new aesthetic—also known as renter-friendly decor—has gotten so chic that it's no longer reserved just for those who rent. In fact, renter-friendly decor like temporary wallpaper and command strips have become mainstays in spaces that we own and love—but just might want to switch up one day.
One place a renter-friendly decision will never go unappreciated, though, is the dorm room. For many students, this is their first home away from home (and parents) and the longest they'll stay anywhere that isn't where they grew up. Since you spend a full year in the space, it makes sense that you might want to make it yours.
This is where temporary wallpaper comes in—and wallpaper brand Tempaper & Co. just released a whole curated collection made especially for college spaces.
«The curated Dorm collection features a wide range of charming prints, offering an easy way to add pattern and personality to any room. It makes going back to class stylish and fun, giving college students a reason to express themselves with a vibe all their own,» Tempaper & Co. said in a press release. «Creating a comforting and productive space is key in college. Tempaper offers a Do-It-Yourself decorating solution that can ease homesickness and add joy to the smallest of spaces.»
The peel-and-stick wallpapers in the collections are already prepared to apply on any smooth, primed, and painted surface like a dorm wall. You don't need any pastes, glues, or professional installers.
Here are the five options to choose from, tailored to your personality:
No matter what you decide to go with for your dorm decor, it's always nice to find
If you’re a fan of the quintessential indoor-outdoor Western lifestyle that comes along with expansive floor-to-ceiling glass, a warm wash of natural light, breezeways that maximize airflow, and surrounding serene landscape, you can thank famed architect Cliff May. Regarded as the founding father of the iconic California ranch house, May’s work has been repeatedly published in Sunset since the 1930s. What made his work stand out at the time was how he designed homes not so much based on architecture but on the way people wanted to live in them. Making the most of the Western climate, his goal was to provide a closer relationship with nature through garden courtyards and blur the line between how we use interior and exterior spaces. May in turn created private sanctuaries where families could relax and enjoy a lifestyle of informal outdoor living. He invented the way most people want to live in the West, and his influence is felt throughout the region some 90 years later.
“Impossibly unaffordable” are two words that Californians are probably less than thrilled to hear. In a recent report from Chapman University in Orange, California, and the Frontier Centre of Public Policy (FCPP) in Canada, that’s exactly how four California metros are described. The 2024 edition of Demographia International Housing Affordability shows San Jose, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego listed among the top 10 least affordable housing markets—not just in the United States, but worldwide.

There are countless ornamental grasses to choose from, so narrowing down a list of my favorites is tough. However, the following assortment—categorized by their best season of interest—is a good start. Choosing at least one from each season will ensure that your grass-forward garden always has something spectacular going on.
WHEN MOST OF US think of growing herbs each spring, what we probably put into our shopping cart, whether from online seed catalogs or at the garden center, are the culinary must-haves: the basil, the parsley, the dill and such.
Renting can be difficult for a whole host of reasons: Rental costs are rising, landlords can be strict or unhelpful, there can be pretty high upfront costs, and it can mean you move more often, which can become pretty expensive. And on top of all of that, you have to be very careful with how you decorate your home—that is, if you want your security deposit back.
