Students Shop Online to Solve Dorm Decor Dilemmas

Back to school means more than hitting the books - students want cool, fast, affordable decor

Sharon, MA (September 1, 2002) -- For many students, their dorm or student room is their first home away from home, and their first chance to express themselves in their own space. Second only to a student's bed and desk, posters are the key element in setting the mood for a student's pad.

Posters are the most affordable solution for brightening a bleak dorm. With art and pop culture posters selling for as little as seven dollars online, students can give their dorm a new look without breaking their budget.

Affordable posters are readily available on the Internet. More and more, Savvy time-, cash- and décor-starved students are taking to the Internet to find the hippest, fastest and most affordable dorm décor. Whether their taste is Monet or heavy metal, students can browse thousands of posters on websites such as Barewalls (http://www.barewalls.com), to find the right poster quickly and affordably.

Many student rooms don't leave much else beyond sleeping and studying space, making anything more than wall art an impossible décor choice. Posters are often not only the best, but the only space-conscious décor choice open to students.

Posters are a direct, and compelling expression of a student's personality and values. From the student who lives in an Ivy League dorm, to the freshman in his or her student crash pad, there are as many poster choices as there are student lifestyles: from pop stars to science, fine art to sports.

Sure, there are lots of Web sites offering the usual pop star, movie and impressionist posters. But when students shop for posters and prints for their space, they are looking for something unique that not everyone else has. With more than 150,000 posters and prints available, Barewalls carries the variety and the hard-to-find images that help a student express his or her unique taste and individuality.

As the Internet's largest print and poster store, the folks at Barewalls Interactive Art have their finger on the pulse of what's hot this year with the student crowd.

"Barewalls has enabled shoppers to choose from a wider selection of diverse images. This has made it easier for students to find unique posters that fit their personal tastes," said Eric Craven, Barewalls' Content Manager. "Interestingly, with more and more images available, students are buying less pinups, sports and model posters, and more fine art and photography."

And the artist of choice? Craven reports that students are opting for mind-teasing prints by Dutch engraver M.C. Escher. Other favorites include Dali, Van Gogh, and American Artist Edward Hopper. And of course contemporary and classic movie and pop stars are as popular as ever.

Barewalls (http://www.barewalls.com) is the perfect one-stop shop for cool dorm décor. All it takes is 15 minutes to search for and purchase the right image before heading back to the books. Posters are shipped to your doorstep - ready to hang. Barewalls offers more than 150,000 posters and prints at the click of a mouse - from pop, sports and film stars, to fine art and home décor.
