You and your roommates have the ability to make those four walls become anything you want. Your room should express each of your personalities. Keep reading for 6 great tips on how to make your dorm room your new home.

 

1. Add Christmas lights, twinkle lights or a standing lamp.

These will give your room a softer light. Overhead lights in dorm rooms can be harsh, so delicate lights or a floor lamp will make your room easier on the eyes.

 

2. Hang photos on strings with clothespins.

It’s an inexpensive and easy way to display your favorite pictures throughout your room.

 

 

3. Loft your bed and put your desk underneath.

This is great for a personalized study area! Or, instead of a study area, you can put a futon underneath for a cozy living space.

 

4. Personalize your room with monogram decals!

 

5. Get a decorative wall piece or rug.

These can be a fun way to express your style!
