Whether you’re commuting or dorming, every collegiette wants a space that embodies who they are! After seeing my dorm, I knew I had to liven it up. Here’s how I decorated mine:

 

Dorm DIY Tips

  • Pictures, pictures, and more pictures! Friends, family, pets….make this space YOUR space! 
  • Are you a superfan like I am? Show team spirit with a banner or flag! 
  • Make a goal list like this one from Pinterest! It’ll help you stay organized and spruce up the room at the same time! 
  • Invest in a dry erase board to write your classes down; a bulletin board can fashion the same way too. 
  • String lights give any dorm a cozy glow at night — an almost essential dorm piece, we think!
  • Keep in mind, only half of this room is yours. Make sure that your roomie has plenty of space for her stuff, too! 

Ultmately, just have fun with your decorating! You want to live in a space that will make you feel comfortable and let you express your personaility. The possibilities are endless!
