Decorate Dorm Rooms with Small Unique Art Deco Table Fans

Have you heard that small art deco table fans are great for decorating dorm rooms?

One major complaint I have heard about dorm rooms is that they are either too warm or too cold.

Small fans help take care of that issue by providing steady air circulation.

In the warm months, this will lower the room temperature by as much as 5 degrees, while in the winter, it will help keep the warm air from staying up at the ceiling where it does little good.

Fans help keep your
dorm room comfortable,
regardless of the temp!

Using small, unique art deco table top fans to decorate dorm rooms shows your personality! If you want to have a fun, personalized, comfortable dorm experience, it is important to decorate your dorm room with a selection of items that reflect who you are.

Art deco table top fans come in a large variety of shapes, including cats, dogs, elephants, lizards, lions, fish, peacocks, and more. There is even a woody car for the surfer dude!

The wire cages built around these fans make them safe, even within hands-reach of the bed. You can't get your fingers into the fan blades if you roll over in your sleep.

Decorative fans are so much fun. Since there isn't much space in a dorm room, small fans are the perfect. They fit nicely on a bedside table or on a desk.

Maybe you would like to add a touch of whimsy to your dorm room?

There is a fan for that, too.

There are polar bear fans, zebra fans, deer fans, frog fans, flower fans, and many, many more!

Check out this fun whimsical gecko fan!

This little fellow will keep the air moving while watching to make sure you get all that homework done. :)

Top 10 Plus Dorm Room Comfort Items

Dorm Room Ideas

Because college dorm rooms are so small, and you will likely be sharing it with a roommate, you need to think of the items you need for dorm life while minimizing the space it will take. Remember to check any items you want to take against the list of items the college will not allow to make sure you do not inadvertently break the rules.

If you like tea, hot chocolate, hot cider, or instant cappuccino, an electric water kettle is a good idea. It can also be used to make instant soup or ramen noodles (I think most college students eat ramen noodles! I know I did!).

You may also need the items on this dorm checklist, if you have the room:

A small toaster oven: A small toaster oven or even a toaster will let you make toasted sandwiches.

A mini-fridge: Keep milk, yogurt, and sandwich makings handy for late night snacks when studying.

Collapsible or cloth laundry duffle: Whether you take your laundry to the campus Laundromat, the local Laundromat, or home for washing, you will need something to carry dirty and clean clothes in for transport. A collapsible hamper can slide under the bed, and a cloth laundry duffle fits easily into a drawer, slips beneath the bed mattress, or hangs in the closet.

Extra blanket: Polar fleece blankets are an excellent choice, since they are snuggly warm and easy to wash.

Folding chairs or stools: If you have friends over, you will need somewhere for them to sit besides your bed or the floor.

Under the bed storage totes: Keep school supplies clean and handy in under the bed storage totes with lids.

Desk lamp: Dorm desks are often in dark corners of the room. To reduce eye strain, be sure to bring a desk lamp that actually works for lighting rather than for ambiance.

Extra sheets: Bedding will be on the list the college provides, but you will need at least one set of extra sheets to use when your sheets need to be changed.

Pillows: Your favorite sleeping pillow should go with you. Throw pillows are a good idea, too, since they can be used to support your back or a book when you are reading in bed.

Printer: While you can print in most school labs and libraries, some schools charge by the page. It really is annoying when you have to get up early to go to the lab or library to print out a paper you finish late the night before it is due. A small printer with inexpensive ink refills is a good idea--just be sure your roommate helps pay for the ink if you share it. A good choice is the Brother MFC-J870DW, since it also works as a copier and fax machine.

Pictures of your family and friends: Being away from home can be lonely, especially if it is for the first time. Having photos of your family can be a comfort to you. To save bedside table top and desk top room, get a collage picture frame that holds several photos and hang it on the wall.
These are just a few of the items you might need in your college dorm.
