Dress your wall with decals

Sure, you’re not going to go all out and wallpaper your dorm. But you can get some stylish decals to add to the walls and make your space a little less boring and a little more you!

Cozy bedding

Probably the most important part of your dorm room is the bed. Make it a cozy space and beautify the room by splurging on some pretty and comfortable bedding. After some late-night studying, you will love to jump into your bed!

Photo banner

If a photo wall is not your style, you can opt for something simple and sweet, like a photo banner. You’re not limited to hanging photos from it; you can include inspirational messages, reminders, or mementos from home.

Add a rug

Cozy up the space with a plush fluffy rug. You will love stepping out of bed in the morning onto a high pile rub — plus, it will make the room feel less like a dorm and more like your childhood bedroom.

Hang up curtains

Nothing will make a dorm room feel less like a plain old box than adding some curtains. Before drilling into any walls, you will have to check and make sure that this is ok. If drilling into the walls to hang a curtain rod is not an option, you can always use a tension rod inside the window frame.

Add a lamp or two

Good lighting is key to brightening and making any space more cheery, so make sure you bring a pretty lamp or two along to college with you.

Set up a reading nook

If you have the room for it, get a stylish chair and set yourself up a little reading and relaxing area. This will give you a special spot away from the bed to do some homework and relaxing.

Get creative with storage

Try and maximize your storage by being creative with your furniture. Get nightstands that have drawers or doors to keep mess concealed. You can also get a headboard organizer with shelves that will give you more space to store items.

Creative and cute storage that also acts as decor, like this mini pegboard, are great additions to a college dorm room. Hang one of these above your desk and outfit it with all your must-have essentials.
