Residence hall rooms do not
have to be drab and impersonal.
With a little creative effort, stu
dents can add flair and transform
their rooms into vibrant spaces,
which reflect their unique tastes
and character. In the fifth annual
Better Rooms Contest on Friday,
students living in the residence
halls got to show off their interior
design skills.
“With a little imagination, it’s
amazing what these students can
r
put together,” said University
Housing executive assistant Janice
Langis, who was one of the con
test’s judges.
This year’s competition drew 16
contestants, and rooms were
judged in three categories: Most
Creative Use of Space, Best Use of
Space and Best Coordination.
According to
University Hous
ing spokes
woman Tenaya
Meaux, the com
petition allows
people to see
how students
make the best
use of fairly
small rooms.
Amber New
by’s room won
the Most Gre
ative Use of Space award. The
room quickly grabs attention with
its strands of blinking colored
lights and a flood of purple things.
A purple floor rug and a sheer
purple cloth with yellow moons
and stars on the ceiling. A purple
feather boa across the room. Pur
ple chair, phone, bedspread, lava
lamp, table clothes and wall hang
ings. Then there are the giraffes.
Stuffed, wooden and origami gi
raffes. A giant poster of an adult
giraffe planting a kiss on a baby
giraffe’s head on one wall. On an
other wall is a massive
collage of Duck football newspa
per clippings.
“I’ve been told that my room re
flects my personality 100 per
cent,” Newby said. She describes
herself as colorful, energetic, hap
py and fun. And, of course, she is
a dedicated football fan.
Westmoreland Housing area di
rector and contest judge Candace
Cardiff said she felt Newby’s per
sonality was “bursting at the
seams” throughout the room.
“I could have stood in there for
an hour just looking,” Cardiff said.
“Everything was placed to have
an effect.”
Newby said everyone who walks
by the room does a “double take.”
“People come in here to get
away,” she said. “It doesn’t feel
like a dorm room.”
Carla Sertic and Jana Hardwick,
in Barnhart Hall, were judged to
be the most coordinated room
mates. Their
room transported
the judges into a
Morrocan-like
belly dancing
haven complete
with beads hang
ing in the door
way, a plush red
bedspread and
belly dancing
music playing in
the background.
Sertic and Hard
wick even put on belly dancing at
tire for the occasion.
“I saw the harmony of these two
people being able to live together
and enjoying it,” Langis said.
Andrew VanDyk and Max Goins,
who live in the Walton Complex,
scooped the Best Use of Space
honors. The two freshmen built
their own beds, which tower high
above the floor, with desks that
neatly fit under the beds. Shoes
are carefully stacked on a shelf by
the window, next to a couch made
up of three mattresses and a high
shelf holding a television.
“We just wanted to be efficient and
have a lot of space,” Goins said.
The high beds do have disadvan
tages. Goins said he has hit his
head against the ceiling several
times, especially when something
startles him.
Still, he said others like the idea,
and two other students in the hall
have built similar beds.
“If we can do this with a dorm
room, imagine what we can do
with something bigger,” he said.
