Decorating your dorm room is probably the most exciting part about venturing off to college. You have your own new space to decorate however you want. New color schemes and patterns, fun new furniture and cool ways to stay organized. Whether you’re in a single, double or a suite, there are awesome dorm decorating ideas out there for you to have the best-decorated dorm room on campus!
Whether you fill your wall with photos, canvases, lights, decals, quotes or a little bit of all, there are TONS of awesome things you can do with your bare dorm walls to make them pop with style and personality.
Photos are obviously a huge dorm decor “duh,” but the ways you hang them can certainly affect the vibe of your room. Here are some ideas for photos:
1. Incorporate both traditional “stick them on the wall” ways of hanging pictures, different decorations. Angle your photos in different ways, and put quotes around them that explain the people in those photos and relationships with them.
2. Hang your photos up by clothes pins and strings. These are a super cheap and easy way to show off your friends and family from home, and the new friends you make at school. You can even clip the pins to lights for an added touch.
3. Cover an entire all with photos. There’s no better way to surround yourself with your loved ones, even if they’re miles away.
4. Decals are also a super cool way to decorate your wall, and you incorporate them with photos, or just on the wall by themselves.
5. Simply use a printer and a computer to print out your favorite quotes and stick them to your wall. You can even print out photos or magazine pages that you want to hang up and cut them out and stick them on the wall to shape a phrase.
