Star blackout curtains in a boy's bedroom

Plenty of bed rest (and healthy eating) ensures that your child will be at his peak performance in school. Blackout curtains in a wide range of styles, colors and prints will greatly reduce outside noise and block unwanted light from streaming in. That means no interruptions – especially crucial for the younger students that have an early bedtime compared to everyone else.These star blackout curtains work well in both girl and boy bed and playrooms, available in colors like beige, black and navy.

Dorm rooms are about as synonymous with comfort and style as a shoe box. This same rule often applies to off-campus housing options for students as well. When was that frat house last renovated? Let’s be honest, not every cash-strapped student can afford the luxury apartment complete with amenities.

Striped pillow instantly brightens up a bland space

Decorating must start with basic accessories, beginning with the simplest pillow. For $19.99 (a set of 2), transform your college space with polka-dots, stripes, floral motifs, or mosaic prints. A pair of modern stripe pillows will brighten up your college boy’s room, or opt for feminine sophistication in a gray, black and white flower print pillow for the college girl in your family.

Mink Faux Fur throw against a leather chair

For late night studying, consider buying a warm throw to keep your child warm, comfy and focused. Faux fur throws in a solid short hair mink or Persian lamb transition from the couch to the desk chair. The micro-plush lining of the throws is incredibly soft – so comforting that I typically carry my lynx throw with me as I tend to be sensitive to the cold during the fall and winter months.

Procrastination will get you nowhere. Shop now, enjoy free shipping and be ready when it’s time to hit the books.
