This Ontario Hall room gives a brilliant home-y meets chic look with patterned bedding paired with a sequinned throw. The teddy bear gives Serena a childhood vibe when away from home. The Vogue cover poster adds a sense of style and fashion with a pop of colour for the neutral room.
This room takes top place for me. It makes a chaotic wall feel neutral by crafting the perfectly designed gallery wall. The eccentric vase of flowers matched with the accents of pink on various posters and the pink sheets allows all of the elements to flow together. The numerous strings of lights give a soft light which is complemented by the natural light flowing in.

These lights are very unique and with varying lengths, creates a mystical look compared to the standard lights seen in most other rooms. Kathryn’s desk is the ideal girl’s desk as it has a perfect proportion of style, space for makeup and space for studying.
Julia used mirrors admirably along the walls to create more depth in a small space. The vibrant turquoise bedding manifests thoughts of summer even in the cold of the London winter. The gold in the mirrors also complements the turquoise bedding to manifest a Tiffany themed room.
This Med-Syd soph’s room perfectly embodies what it means to be a Mustang. The curtain rack lined with all types of bottles, assisting to remember forgotten nights at Ceeps. The black couch invites friends in to chat at all hours of the night which can be lit up by the amazing purple lights, supporting her school colours.

The simplicity of Ally’s room exhibits her laid-back lifestyle which is complemented by the pops of yellow in both the artwork and throw pillows. The grey backdrop allows for a neutral vibe which is gorgeous for photos and great to cozy up in on a rainy day.
Dylan and his roommate have taken residence life to a whole other level. Not only is their room awesome when set up for movie night along with a popcorn machine and massive projector, but is also insane on a regular day with posters and artwork plastered along the walls.

Caitie has lined the walls surrounding her bed with pictures of friends, family and fun. This helps with homesickness for this Calgary native. The tribal patterned bedding in grey gives a soft detailing to the room with big white pillows to ensure comfort.
This floral themed room radiates a springtime aura all year, making dreary winter days seem bright. The leaf decals on the wall enhance the nature feeling which then is tied into the pillows and intriguing lamp. A lack of a definite colour scheme creates a unique feeling when present and truly allows us to look into Natalie’s individuality.
This traditional style room is jam packed and creates a fun-loving feel for Matt and his roommate. Between the awesome Molson Canadian fridge, the lights strung throughout the room and the traffic cone (?), it all works together to equal the ideal man cave.

This tapestry steals the show. Tapestries being a common factor in many of the rooms can seem to blend into the crowd, but not this one. Because the tapestry is so loud and detailed, this sorority chick recognized the need for clean, white bedding which fits magically.
The best part about this room is the gorgeous turquoise bedding which is accented with pink pillows and a cozy pink throw. Alexa’s desk is perfectly organized with cute personalizations like the ‘a’ book end and starfish.
