The leaves are falling, campus has turned into a sea of flannel and our beloved pumpkin spice latte has made a comeback. This can only mean one thing – fall is here! Fall is a month full of exciting things; perhaps the most exciting thing is Halloween coming up at the end of the month! Here are 10 cute dorm decoration ideas for Halloween to get you in the Halloween spirit!
1. Halloween Themed Window Clings
Widow clings are a Halloween classic; decorate your dorm window with some so people passing by can see your Halloween spirit!
2. Decorate Your Door
Your door is the first thing anyone sees when coming into your room, so why not make it Halloween themed? You can simply print pictures from the Internet and tape them up or you can go to the store and go crazy with Halloween decorations!

4. Candy Outside of Your Door
Get a cute jack-o’-lantern and fill it up with candy. You will make friends on your floor and be Halloween ready – sounds like a win-win to me!
5. Halloween Your Door Dec Up
If all out door decor isn’t your thing, just decorate your door dec! Print out Halloween pictures like pumpkins, ghosts or witches and pin them or tape them up on your door. It’s a simple, low cost way to jazz up any door dec!
6. Candy Corn Jars
Candy Corn is a Halloween must-have so why not incorporate it in a decoration? Get some jars and candy corn then pour the candy corn into the jars. The result will be an easy Halloween decoration that doubles as a sweet treat!
7. DIY Black Cat String Lights
Most of us dorm residents already have string lights to brighten up our rooms; all you need now is some black construction paper and scissors to create this super cute kitty Halloween decor!
8. DIY Bat Wall Decor
All you will need for these cute wall critters is black construction paper, scissors and tape. Just take the scissors and cut the paper into bat-like shapes then tape them up anywhere you want — let your creativity flow. Super easy and super cheap!
9. Spider Webs
Want your room to have a scarier Halloween vibe? Fake spider webs are the decoration for you! Hang them up in the darkest corner of your room; you can even add fake plastic spiders to enhance the effect (just remember to hang them low enough so the fire marshals don’t bust you).
10. Pumpkin Solo Cups
Since carving real pumpkins in a dorm setting is a no, try this easy alternative: get orange solo cups, electric tea lights (candles are also a no) and a sharpie then decorate the cups with silly or scary faces! Place the cups over the tea lights and put them outside of your door or anywhere in your room.
Happy decorating!
