Dorm room products can liven up your space if you pick the right ones for your vibe! There are tons of ways to create a dorm room that is comfortable, fun and all yours. Just a few products and you are on your way to a dorm room that all of your friends will want to hang out in time and time again. 

Whether you want some plants, some string lights or wall art, I have all the places and ways you can create a space that isn’t cluttered with lively dorm room products but full of fun and comfortability. You need a home in between the white dorm room walls, and these dorm room products can create that. 

1. Plants, Plants, Plants

Plants will literally liven up your dorm room. With all that greenery you can sit inside and do your homework without feeling like you are missing some nature. Those days when you have to stay inside and get work done it is great to have a reminder of the beautiful nature outside that you can’t get to. Plants can give your room some life, some beauty and some simple positivity to your space. 

You may need a plant pot and Urban Outfitters has a ton that are fun and cute. You can find those here it’s twenty four dollars and perfect for you pretty little plant. 

2. Metal Photo Grid With Clips

A metal photo grid with clips is great for changing up your pictures instead of having them stuck to your wall all semester or year long! It makes for an easy change and a more organized area for pictures. That way you can fill up your wall with other decorations. Either that or you can keep your room to a minimalistic feel. You can find the metal photo grids from many stores like Ikea, Pottery Barn, Urban Outfitters Home section, and most definitely Amazon. 

You can put your photo grid up anywhere like above your bed or above your desk. You can also move around the order of your pictures, change up the pictures so that it’s never the same for too long and you can change it up all the time if you’d like.
