7 Cute Bed Sets For Your First Year Living In A Dorm

I remember moving into my first dorm as if it were yesterday. In reality it was eight years ago, but I also have a fairly good memory. It was a scorching hot Saturday in August, and my parents, brother and I had just driven over an hour to get to my new home for the year. Both vehicles were packed to the brim with all sorts of stuff that I would need for my first year of college, including my brand-new cute bed set that featured rainbow colored polka-dots. Naturally, with having a mom like mine, the first thing we did, once we got up to my dorm room on the third floor, was make the bed. Now, usually I don’t complain too much with making up a bed, but when you’re in a building that has zero air conditioning, and it’s 95 degrees outside, you’d be a little grouchy too. But at the very least, I could start to show off some of my bubbly personality with my cute bed set, which my roommate loved by the way. If you’re just getting ready to go into college, and are going to live in a dorm, then you should definitely check out these seven super cute bed sets.

1. Blush and Gold

I definitely fell in love with this cute bed set when I first laid eyes on it, and wish that I was a teenager again going into my freshman year of college; I definitely would’ve bought this! This bed set from Kohl’s features a beautiful blush colored comforter with metallic gold patterns going across it, along with a matching pillow sham, and two adorable throw pillows. That’s one thing that I really wish my polka-dot bed set came with; throw pillows would’ve made for a nice addition. I can honestly say that this cute bed set will definitely be a lovely addition to your dorm room.

2. Brilliant Purple

Purple is such a bold color choice, and to be honest, I love just how bold this purple bed set from Kohl’s is. What caught my eye with this cute bed set was not only the beautiful coloring, but the fact that just based off the picture alone, the comforter and pillow shams looked super soft. I wasn’t surprised in the least to find that the material is faux fur, which is ultra-comfortable and cozy, especially for someone who’s living in a college dorm. Trust me when I say that you want as much comfort as possible living in those dorms, because most of the time the beds themselves are as hard as a rock. This cute bed set is the perfect way to get cozy, and sleep in style.

3. Golden Mermaid

This is yet another blush and gold bed set that is nothing less than charming! The comforter is a lighter blush color, and features metallic gold scales that span across it, along with matching pillow shams, and an adorable little decorative pillow. I also love how the sheets complement the comforter. This cute bed set from Target is just the thing you’re looking for if you’re wanting a bed set that is a little more subtle, but still has some style to it. Plus, who doesn’t love mermaids? One thing for sure, is that anything to do with mermaids will never fall out of popularity. This is one chic bed set that you certainly don’t want to miss out on!

4. Purple Butterflies

For whatever the reason, I’ve always found butterflies to be super comforting, and homey feeling. That’s why when I saw this cute bed set from Amazon, I just knew that I had to include it! This bed set features a light purple comforter with black and purple butterflies over an intricate white design, along with a matching pillow sham. Although butterflies may seem a bit childish, this bed set doesn’t give off that vibe. I definitely would’ve gone for a cute bed set like this eight years ago, no doubt about it. So, if you’re a lover of all things butterflies, then this bed set is superb choice for your first year of living in a dorm.

5. Zebra Pattern

Of course, I just had to include a cute bed set that features a popular animal print, and who could say no to a lovable zebra pattern? This bed set from Target features a black and white zebra-patterned comforter, along with a matching pillow sham, and two decorative throw pillows. One thing that sets this bed set apart from the others, is that the comforter is reversible, and features black and white leopard spots that conveniently match the lumbar throw pillow! That way if you get tired of the zebra pattern, you can reverse it to the leopard pattern to shake things up a bit. With this cute bed set, you can bring out your wild side!

6. Mesmerizing Marble

I can confidently say that this cute bed set from Amazon is decidedly my favorite. Just the colors alone in this bed set are enough to captivate anyone! The comforter is a gorgeous navy blue mixed with a sky blue along with an array of golds, purples and greens that imitate the look of marble. This set also comes with two matching pillow cases. The added gold is my favorite part of the comforter because it looks like it was just dusted on there at the last second; the various marble-like patterns are also stunning. If you’re looking to make quite the colorful statement in your dorm, then this cute bed set will definitely do the trick.

7. Intricate Flowers

For this cute bed set from Kohl’s, I love the flower motif that they added to the soft grey comforter, but also how the bed set as a whole still appears subdued in its own way. The blush and white coloring of the flowers complement the grey fantastically, and I like how the flowers also take on an elaborate pattern; almost as if they’re in bloom. This bed set comes with the comforter (naturally), a matching pillow sham and three decorative throw pillows. As a bonus, the comforter also reverses to a solid color for those times during your freshman year of college that you’re just not feeling the flower theme. It’s definitely difficult to say no to this cute floral bed set.
