3) Garden Party

I’m loving the removable wallpaper on this wall (just make sure you buy some that’s easy to peel off and won’t ruin walls!) By adding the wallpaper to one side of your dorm, you’re instantly making your space appear bigger with an accent wall.

Sometimes using things you already have is a great way of decorating your dorm, especially when it comes to your walls.
