Moving into your dorm is an exciting moment whether you are a first-year student or a returning student. Settling into your space is really important because it is where you will spend a lot of time. It is your home for the year and your dorm room is a blank canvas where you can try different styles that accumulate into an expression of yourself. Everyone’s dorm room serves a different purpose for them, whether it is your hang out space with friends or a cozy getaway it should be what you want. If you are sharing a room with others, it is still fun to design your side. Maybe you and your roommate might want to coordinate the room so be sure to share this with them. Check out these decor ideas that will help put the finishing touches on your dorm room.
Avoid Cold Feet
Tanum Rug from IKEA $6.99
Investing in a nice rug is more important than you think. Most dorms have hard floors that can get especially cold in the winter and worst than that is waking up and hitting that cold floor! To keep things environmentally friendly, these rugs are made from leftover fabric of Ikea’s bedlinen.
Become a Plant Parent
Artificial Plant in White Pot from Target $7.99
Having a live plant can be great practice in taking care of something. If your not ready for the commitment, a faux plant is just as cute. You can go crazy with the plants and never have to remember to water them. If your going for a more bohemian look, go with a cactus. If your style is relaxation, I suggest a nice faux bonsai tree. No faux plant is off limits!
