Creative Decorating Ideas for a dorm room? My roommate and I are moving into an apartment style door room....

My roommate and I are moving into an apartment style door room. It has a kitchen and a living room and still the same cinderblock walls. We also enjoy separate bedrooms. For my room, I have a lot of photographer, symbolic design, and painter friends so I'm trying to get each to formulate me something to put on the wall. For the kitchen, we thought about taking a champagne bottle and burning a candle into the top. Does anyone have any other cheap/creative decorate ideas? Or a website that might help? Thanks.

Answers:    simple things to spice up a dorm include colorful rugs, anything you can put on the walls (i have album covers up one year, my roommate was obsessed next to fashion magazines and plastered the walls next to her favorite ads, etc). for common areas, try picking a color coordination and buying things that fit into it.

the dollar aisles at target are a lifesaver, you always find the most random things, usually for lower than $5. light becomes intensely important, so make sure you own enough lamps and stuff. i know profusely of people who collect liquor/wine bottles in their kitchens and its appropriate at least for some color.

also, if you're allowed, try painting a wall or two, it really make it feel more like home and its one smaller quantity wall you feel the need to dress up.
