College is a very exciting time for students and in most cases, it is the first time that you are moving out of your parent’s house and into your own space.

Show off your artistic edge by choosing a sleek black headboard for your upcoming Spring semester. Covered completely in black leather and embossed with brass embellishments, with this cool piece you will be the envy of your roommate and everyone on your floor.

2. Monogrammed headboards

Monogrammed dorm headboards are a super cute and fun option to customize what normally can be a bland and impersonal dorm room. You monogram everything from phone cases and planners to purses and wallets, so why not add bedding to that list. Choose the font and color as you proudly display your initials for the whole dorm to see.

3. A headboard with lights

Twinkle lights, fairy lights, everyone has a few different names for them. But nevertheless, this dorm headboard idea is a classic and everyone’s favorite.  With so many color and size options there is a fairy light design for everyone. Drape white or colored lights across your headboard to give the room a warm glow to illuminate as you study.

4. Faux fur headboard

This next dorm headboard looks like something straight out of Sharpay Evans bedroom from High School Musical. Purchase a faux fur headboard that is super soft and will make your dorm room feel a bit more like home. If DIY is more your style, you can visit a fabric or craft store to create your own individual faux fur headboard.

5. Wall stickers

This is a super cute and affordable way to easily customize your dorm headboard. Vinyl stickers are easily removable so you do not have to worry about damaging your college’s walls.  Choose from cute tribal designs, skulls, floral or anything else.

Dorm rooms can be notoriously small and lots of times lack adequate storage space. Plastic drawers and bed risers are standard items for college students to be shopping for.
