Dorm Décor Tips and Tricks

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Georgetown chapter.

Many of us are pretty much settled into our dorm rooms by now, but now that we’ve finally gotten the hang of things, it’s time to put those extra touches on our dorm rooms to really makes our new spaces feel like home.

Tip 1: Mini photo clip string lights really add a bright touch to a boring dorm wall or door. The best part is that they are a great way to show off fun pictures with family and friends!

Try these from Target: https://www.target.com/p/merkury-mini-led-photo-clip-string-lights-white-mi-fcct2-925/-/A-52321740#lnk=sametabTip 2: Display an old weathered sign to show some school spirit! The California-based company, Weathered Signs, makes the iconic signs sold at Brandy Melville. However, you can get a custom sign for around $50 to say anything you want. Of course, mine says Hoya Saxa!

Tip 3: Posters, art prints, and photos, oh my! Society 6 is a website that sells art prints, tapestries, and pillows of anything you could ever want. Just type in a topic or artist and you are bound to find dozens of prints. Linked below is a print I have pinned on the wall of my dorm at Georgetown University.

Tip 5: The final décor tip is just as cute as it is functional. A bunk shelf is the perfect place to store all your bedside essentials. In college, an eye mask, to-do list, and bedside lamp are musts!
