Easy Ways to Personalize your Dorm Room this Year

Trying to personalize your dorm room? If you are moving into a dorm room, the first thing you might want to do is to decorate your space. Your accessories and bedding will make you feel at home in this new place.  Even if you plan to spend only a semester or two, personalizing your dorm room walls will help you create a comfortable atmosphere. Here are some easy ways to transform your college bedroom into a place of your own.

Easy Ways to Personalize your Dorm Room this Year

modern bedroom staging tips

Personalize your Dorm Room with colorful decor:

Most colleges won’t let you paint the walls, but you can always put a temporary wallpaper. They are easy to remove and require no special tools. Opt-in for your favorite colors or pattern to reflect your personality. Although it’s not essential for your wall décor to complement your roommate’s décor, it might be a good idea to pick colors that blend well with her/his side of the room.

Invest in accessories

Dorm rooms are generally small, with the bed being the largest item in them. So, use it to your advantage by making it a focal point. Pick up patterned or colorful bed sheets with a reversible comforter. The reversible option will help you to change the look easily. Finally, add a couple of matching throw pillows for that comfortable look. Make sure to pick the washable, durable brands that won’t show the dirt easily.

Add a rug for pretty dorm room decor

Place a washable rug in front of the bed to warm up the floor. Not only will it add more color and texture to your room, it will also create a place for you to sit on the floor. Use other decor in the room for inspiration for colors and patterns that add life to the room.

Hang wall art & pictures to personalize your dorm room

Decorating your dorm room walls with picture frames is an ideal way to personalize a bedroom. Stock up on frames in varying sizes and shapes and fill them with images that make you smile. Just remember not to use nails on the dorm room walls, instead use picture hangers that can be removed easily without a trace.

Use these tips to make your monotonous dorm room a little more habitable. But, remember to familiarize yourself with the dorm rules, such as no paint or nails on the walls, before you get started.

    We second the removable wallpaper idea! Dorm room decor isn’t considered an ‘essential’, but we like to think that it is. Make sure you make your room yours without damaging the walls – try poster decals or stickable murals to get awesome dorm room art that screams you!

    Hey! Thanks for agreeing. Yes, dorm room decor isn’t considered an essential. But it should. Murals is another great option for adding a personal touch. In fact, any form of wall art sounds great.
