Sometimes in a dorm room, you don’t have a lot of space; like, at all. A heart photo display is a heartfelt and picturesque set-up as far as dorm room photo wall ideas go. It would be the perfect photo wall for all of those who are short on space but not short on pictures of people and things they love.
For a perfect dichotomy and look of contrast, go for a photo wall that includes both photos in color and also ones in black and white. You could mix up the photos for an eclectic look or you could separate them for an even more striking contrast. There would be no limits at all with this kind of display. The only things that would matter would be your own stylistic preferences.
This photo wall is 100 percent for the artist or fashionista. A dorm wall is a perfect place to display all of your favorite magazine pictures, drawings, and powerful quotes. Your wall won’t only be made up of dozens of pieces of art, but it will start to look like one cohesive piece that belongs in an art gallery. With this photo wall, all of your friends and roommates will totally think your room is the definition of “dorm goals”.
What’s a better frame for a photo than its own picture frame? A border of other cool pictures, of course! This type of display would be amazing if you have a bunch of photos with the same colors or if they are from one event or trip, that way the border would look really cohesive. This would also be an amazing addition to a photo, piece of art, or quote that means a lot to you. The extensive decoration of other photographs will draw a person’s eye right to your wall and immediately make them smile and compliment your room.
If you’ve already filled up your walls with other art or some of these other amazing photo wall ideas, then your dorm door’s got you covered. Not only will this turn the door itself into a work of art, but the confined space and structured shape of a door will give you a perfect canvas for formatting your display. You’ll also see all of your beloved pictures and memories every time you enter and leave your room, which is a great way to start and end your day in my opinion.
Most college students come into school with a corkboard or two. Some think they might use it for notes, reminders, or assignments, but mostly it ends up holding pictures of your most cherished college memories. So, why not make the board officially a display of all the good times you’ve been having with your friends? This is a great idea because not only will it look cool, but you will also save yourself the full hanging process. You also won’t need to figure out a display pattern either, since the cork board does that for you.
What would add more style and personality to your blank dorm room walls than quirky, colorful frames? Not much else, I’m telling you. Little frames are cute, inexpensive, and best of all can often be fully secured with command strips. Which, if you ask me, is a necessity for hanging anything in a dorm room. A lot of people actually don’t think to do this, so get ready to have a beautifully unique dorm room photo wall.
Another great spot for all of your pictures and posters is above your desk. It’s usually completely unused space, so why not use it for a perfect photo or art display? Also, it’ll something amazing to look at and give you some motivation while you’re trying to cram out a paper late at night. String lights would work well with this photo wall idea too since most people put their desks near an electrical outlet.
Coming full circle to a variation of one of the first dorm room photo wall ideas, designing your photos of loved ones in a heart is one of the best, and cutest, patterns to do. It shows everyone that these photos are of all the things that matter most to you. Not only does it look cut on your wall but it will look adorable in the Instagram pictures showing off your dorm room.
If you have tons of photos, posters, and art to display, then definitely think about putting up a whole wall of them. Not only will it look cool, but it would save you from having to buy any more wall art. This is also a display of all the things that matter most to you, so it’d be a major personal touch in an impersonal space like a dorm room. It’d be a lot to put up so make sure you have the time (or even better) get your roommates and friends to help and contribute their own pictures to the full photo wall.
