What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs,

blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and

format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

An empty college dorm room is one of the most unappealing and perhaps frustrating sights -- it’s completely empty, dull and lifeless with few furniture items and most importantly, those daunting bare, white walls. Your dorm room is the place where you will be spending most of your time. You will sleep, study, eat, get ready for the day, and have friends over all in the same room. Because of this it is important to decorate your room to your exact liking so it showcases your unique personality and can be a cozy and safe space that makes you feel your best. 

Oftentimes, our dorm room can turn into our personal hideaway, so if we’re going to be spending significant amounts of time there, it is essential to have a room we love that makes us feel comfortable. 

The best way to reflect ourselves in a dorm space is through wall decor. It is important to have wall decorations because no one wants to stare at four white walls all year. Sometimes it can be difficult to decide what to do with the wall space because there are so many options. We’ve put together a list of items that will help make your dorm room a liveable reflection of you and hopefully inspire you to do something awesome with your wall space. So, sit back, relax, check out the items below and get the decorating ideas flowing!
