College Dorm Room Decorating Tips

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Dickinson chapter.
  1. Print out pictures of your friends and family. You will miss them a lot but having them on your wall will be a reminder of the cute memories you have had together.
  2. Put glow-in-the-dark stars on your ceiling! They will give your room a relaxing vibe and are perfect for the nights when you can’t fall asleep.
  3. Get some stuffed animals. It’s always nice to create a cozy atmosphere.
  4. Frame your favorite pictures and put them on your desk. DIY tip: get a wooden frame and paint it yourself.
  5. Small storage bins are very helpful when organizing your things, especially those random little items that need a home.
  6. Get makeup and jewelry organizers. They will make your life a lot easier. No more time wasted untangling your necklaces or searching for your favorite lipstick!
  7. Buy a nice mattress pad. It will help you sleep better and you will definitely need it.
  8. And finally, get a mini-fridge to keep those yummy snacks close by for all of your late-night study sessions.
