5 Cheap Decor Ideas to Personalize Your Dorm

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

Stressed about having to spend too much money on dorm decorations? Don’t worry college is expensive as it is, with these five tips your dorm will be looking like a million bucks! 

Fake Plants

Place fake plants around your dorm to add a nice aesthetic. Not only will it make your dorm ten times cuter, but you don’t have to worry about watering them! You can find them at the dollar store for a dollar!

Use a Hanger For Your Accessories

Need something to place your accessories on? Use an old hanger to put your sunglasses and head wraps on. This will add a rustic look to your dorm and you probably have this laying around somewhere!

Fairy Lights

Hanging fairy lights on your walls will add a cozy feel. You can find them for cheap at Ross, T.J. Maxx, and even Target.

Photo Collage

Print out some pictures of you, your friends and/or family to make a photo collage. This will personalize your room, and make you feel less homesick! 

Make a Vision Board

Print out some of your favorite quotes, dream travel destinations, or any goals you have for the school year. Then stick them to a board, or even on your wall with thumbtacks. This will tie the whole room together and motivate you!

Austinite, iced coffee, and dogs!
