Moving into a college dorm often means leaving the comforts of home behind. However, that doesn’t mean your living space can’t be cozy and inviting. With the boho design trend taking the interior world by storm, it’s time to embrace this eclectic and laid-back style to create a boho college dorm cozy sanctuary.
1. Start with Neutral Walls: When it comes to boho design, neutral walls provide the perfect backdrop for bold decor choices. Opt for shades like white, cream, or light gray to create a blank canvas that allows other elements in your room to shine.
2. Layer Textures and Patterns: Boho is all about mixing textures and patterns. To achieve this look, layer different textiles such as throw pillows, blankets, and rugs in diverse patterns and materials. Choose natural fibers like jute or cotton for a more eco-friendly touch.
3. Embrace Natural Elements: Bring nature indoors by incorporating plants into your dorm decor. Not only do they add freshness to your space but also create a calming atmosphere. Consider low-maintenance plants like succulents or hanging vines that require minimal care.
4. Cozy Seating Areas: Create inviting seating areas where you can relax or study with friends. Add floor cushions, poufs, or bean bags for comfortable seating options that can be easily moved around as needed.
5. Ambient Lighting: Good lighting is crucial in achieving a cozy atmosphere. Opt for string lights or fairy lights to create an enchanting vibe in your dorm room while providing warm and soft illumination.
6. DIY Projects: Add personal touches to your space with DIY projects that reflect your individual style and personality. Use macramé wall hangings, dreamcatchers, or handmade art pieces that showcase your creativity.
7. Multi-Purpose Furniture: In small dorm rooms where space is limited, investing in multi-purpose furniture is essential. Look for pieces like storage ottomans or folding tables that not only serve their primary function but also provide additional storage options.
8. Incorporate Vintage Finds: Scour thrift stores and flea markets for unique vintage finds to add character to your dorm room decor. Vintage frames, mirrors, or trinkets can bring a touch of nostalgia and authenticity to your boho sanctuary.
9. Minimal Clutter: One key aspect of boho design is embracing a minimalist approach when it comes to clutter. Keep your space organized and uncluttered by utilizing storage solutions such as baskets, crates, or hanging organizers.
10. Personalize Your Space: Finally, don’t forget to incorporate personal touches that make your space truly yours. Hang photos, showcase your favorite books or artwork, and surround yourself with items that bring you joy and inspire relaxation.
By following these boho-inspired tips, you can transform your college dorm into a cozy sanctuary where you feel relaxed and at peace. Embrace the eclectic charm of boho design and let your creativity shine through in every corner of your space.

Description : Prepare to be swept away by a story that is intimate, true, and utterly compelling. Margi Gibb’s much-loved father dies and, with her immediate family largely gone, her life is changed irrevocably. Immersing herself more deeply in art and music, she travels to America to study the sacred art of the mandala, exploring the wisdom traditions of Indigenous Indian peoples in the process. Then after a serendipitous encounter back in Australia she travels to Dharamsala to care for children in an after school program at a Tibetan women's handicraft cooperative. Her underlying passion is to initiate guitar lessons for Tibetan refugees. What follows is unexpected. Margi’s developing bonds with two very different Tibetan men, Tenzin and Yonten, change her life in complex and enduring ways. Eventually she journeys to Tibet. Kissed by a Deer is a book about East and West. It is a passionate quest for the personal and intellectual truth that only comes through lived experience. Gibb’s story gives us amazing places, and wonderful characters, people we come to love and care about despite their failings. In its pages, wisdom searchingly finds its humble roots in the connections of heart, imagination and mind; in the midst of the act of living....

Description : The diary and essays of Brian Eno republished twenty-five years on with a new introduction by the artist in a beautiful hardback edition.'One of the seminal books about music . . . an invaluable insight into the mind and working practices of one of the industry's undeniable geniuses.'GUARDIANAt the end of 1994, Brian Eno resolved to keep a diary. His plans to go to the cinema, theatre and galleries fell quickly to the wayside. What he did do - and write - however, was astonishing: ruminations on his collaborative work with David Bowie, U2, James and Jah Wobble, interspersed with correspondence and essays dating back to 1978. These 'appendices' covered topics from the generative and ambient music Eno pioneered to what he believed the role of an artist and their art to be, alongside adroit commentary on quotidian tribulations and happenings around the world.This beautiful 25th-anniversary hardcover edition has been redesigned in the same size as the diary that eventually became this book. It features two ribbons, pink paper delineating the appendices (matching the original edition) and a two-tone paper-over-board cover, which pays homage to the original design.An intimate insight into one of the most influential creative artists of our time, A Year with Swollen Appendices is an essential classic....
Global Nomads

Publisher by : Routledge
ISBN :
Description : Global Nomads provides a unique introduction to the globalization of countercultures, a topic largely unknown in and outside academia. Anthony D’Andrea examines the social life of mobile expatriates who live within a global circuit of countercultural practice in paradoxical paradises. Based on nomadic fieldwork across Spain and India, the study analyzes how and why these post-metropolitan subjects reject the homeland in order to shape an alternative lifestyle. They become artists, therapists, exotic traders and bohemian workers seeking to integrate labor, mobility and spirituality within a cosmopolitan culture of expressive individualism. These countercultural formations, however, unfold under neo-liberal regimes that appropriate utopian spaces, practices and imaginaries as commodities for tourism, entertainment and media consumption. In order to understand the paradoxical globalization of countercultures, Global Nomads develops a dialogue between global and critical studies by introducing the concept of 'neo-nomadism' which seeks to overcome some of the shortcomings in studies of globalization. This book is an essential aide for undergraduate, postgraduate and research students of Sociology, Anthropology of Globalization, Cultural Studies and Tourism Studies....
