College dorms are notorious for being small, bland and boring. Typically they are tiny rooms with few windows if any, all meant to be shared by two people. For decades parents and students have been trying to find new and unique ways to bring light, color and individuality to dorm rooms. Crystal water beads are a great way to do just that.

Crystal water beads come in a variety of colors; making it simpler to individualize. You can use all one color, or several different colors to add a little unique flare. Choosing a small vase or jar will work nicely or you can make good use of the souvenir hurricane glass from that great trip to New Orleans! Team up a great container with an awesome color or water beads and top it off with a great plant to bring the outdoors in. You can use a nice little bamboo plant or even a little silk flower arrangement, or display the roses you get from that hot guy in Chemistry!

Keep in mind that plants need water – not always conducive to a busy college schedule complete with sports, jobs and sorority rush activities. With water beads you plant it and forget it! The beads will keep your plant healthily watered for you! They make the weekend visit to mom and even spring break a breeze. You don’t have to trust your precious plant to your room mate or suite mate.

College students are constantly looking for a way to spruce up the drab walls and space of their dorm. Colorful water beads in a great vase with the perfect plant are a great way to make your space really yours.
