You may not be all that excited about classes, but what about decorating your dorm room? You get to express your style, show off your creativity, and create the perfect space for studying, snuggling up with a cup of coffee, and watching Netflix.

Here are some trending decorating ideas to help get you started!

Wall Decor

Wallpaper is coming back as a hot design trend, but you can’t decorate dorm room walls with anything that might damage them upon removal. The good news is that you can create the appearance of wallpaper with easy stick and peel decals! This is a great way to glam up your walls and incorporate the wallpaper trend without the unwanted consequences. 

Other trending options for decorating your walls include unique framed artwork and tapestries! If you don’t like seeing blank space on your walls, tapestries offer an easy solution by covering entire walls with pleasing patterns and colors.

Round Rugs

Round rugs instantly make a dorm room’s design more interesting because their shape is different than that of the room. This creates contrast, which draws the eye. Rugs, especially larger ones, also help to ground the space they’re in and add a little flavor to an otherwise bland looking floor. 

There are endless options when it comes to the texture, color, and design of rugs available, so you can find one that perfectly fits your color scheme and style!

Creative Storage/Shelves

One of the most functional ways to decorate your dorm room is through leaning shelves. These shelves take up very little space, offer an intriguing and easily accessible area to store items, and often allow for hanging purses, hats, scarves, and jackets! 

This decorating trend adds a nice modern touch to your dorm room while also offering an organizational component. Adding pieces that have both looks and storage capabilities is the best way to ensure that your space remains beautiful and functional!

Plant Life

Sometimes living in such a small space indoors can make you feel very isolated from the outside world. Incorporating plants into your dorm room’s design can help to improve this by connecting you to the outdoors and bringing a little life into your space. Plants are beautiful to look at, they have the ability to purify your environment, they create a relaxing, grounded atmosphere, and some have a pleasant smell as well!

Also, the plants you bring in don’t need to be large; you can keep a small bonsai tree on your desk or place a few succulents on your windowsill and experience their earthy, tranquil effects! 

Wall Mirrors

Mirrors are excellent for both form and function, as they can be used both as a wall accent and as a tool for applying your lipstick away from the bathroom vanity. This will come in especially handy if you have multiple people trying to get ready at once! 

Mirrors also help make spaces appear larger, which works to your advantage in a dorm room. You can purchase wall mirrors in any shape or size, and some even have pegs at the bottom for hanging jewelry!
