Like the band incubus house on cribs, they had a place that just had candles and stuff and had a really chill atmosphere. I would like to achieve that in my dorm: walls are Lt blue...just need a tranquil room for chilling to calm the mind.

1] do light, cool color walls [ pale sky blue, pale leaf green ] with drapes in same color, of light fabric.
2] a quiet pattern [ skinny stripes, for instance ] in blues, or greens, or both for bedding, and toss pillows [ velvet ]
3] a fish tank with blue, green stones
4] all metal/wood should be in same color family - all grays, or all browns for chairs, desks, bedframe, etc.
5] put up serene posters/artwork - preferably with blues or greens - inspirational thought, landscape, impressionist art
6] candles in room colors, in calming scents - mint, citrus, cinnamon,etc. Suggest some iron or stone holders/sticks.
&] music - remember to play more 'mellow' music about an hour before bed
7] underbed storage bins
8] shelf dividers - for each of you, in closet

Since you've already got a theme, why not use your bedding to set the mood... check out www.VisionBedding.com to see their awesome line of tropical bedding (these designs are actual island pictures) you can chill and relax and then hang some tropical artsy pix on the walls, add a few candles and you have your relaxing atmosphere. This is functional and cool designing that will be perfect for entertaining or studying.

keep it very clean and uncluttered. keep all the "stuff" up and out of sight. I would go with white or light blue or light green solid color bedspread. A big white shaggy, comfy rug. To make it calming, I would buy a small fish bowl and put white rocks in the bottom and just a few fish. Fish are very calming. Also, you could hang a few white or light colored paper lanterns form the ceiling. Good luck!
