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.

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

5. Get a decorative wall piece or rug.
