My most basic dorm furnishing tip is a bed skirt. Tailored or box pleats, whatever, it is usually overlooked and can have a dual function of hiding under bed storage, dust bunnies and just making the space a little warmer and stand-out from all the neighbors. Also instead of plastic or those trunks of cardboard, I was sent off to school with a diamond-plated steel locking trunk designed for a truck bed, acquired from the local tack shop. I still have it.
