10 Fall Decor Tips To Spice Up Your Dorm Room

Fall is almost here, which means it’s time to start decorating for all things cozy and pumpkin! Here are ten rockin’ fall décor tips to spice up your dorm room. Let’s get started!

1. Cozy Blankets

What’s fall without cozy blankets to snuggle in? Your dorm room is not complete without faux fur or cable knit blankets to throw over your bed or lounge chair. Imagine cuddling up with your crush with one of these blankets while watching Stranger Things. Goals!

2. Decorative Pumpkins

Decorative pumpkins are perfect for spicing up your dorm room décor. Stop by Michaels or a nearby craft store to grab some cute faux pumpkins and other fun fall accessories. Line your window sill or desk with different patterned pumpkins and your room will be ready for fall.

3. Fall Scented Candles

To make your dorm room smell like pumpkin spice and all things nice, pick up some fall scented candles from Target or Bath and Body Works. They have so many scents to choose from, and you can’t really go wrong. Plus, adding candles to your room will instantly create cozy ambiance. You’ll never want to leave.

4. Spooky Doormat

To make your guests feel welcome, add a spooky doormat in front of your door. This will give your friends and dorm mates an idea of what to expect when coming over. Plus, adding a door mat will make your dorm feel a little more like home. 

5. Fall Garlands

Fall garlands are a perfect addition to a bland dorm room. Hang it over your bed or desk area. Choose from leaf garlands, cute sayings or make your own. Again, you can find these at a local craft store. Ring in the new season with this cute fall décor idea!

6. Plush Rugs

Adding plush rugs to your dorm will instantly create a cozy vibe that will feel like heaven under your feet. Place your rug in the main area of your dorm so people can walk in and out and feel like they are at home too. Choose from faux fur rugs, or patterned warm-toned colors. 

7. Fall Pillows

Fall pillows are a necessity for getting your dorm room ready for chillier months. Decorate your bed or lounge chairs with these cute fall inspired pillows. Seasonal pillows are great because you can switch them out when the new season arrives. Plus, these make for some great Instagram content.

Twinkle lights are great for brightening up your room and adding an extra light source for when you want to create some late night ambiance. Wrap them around the ceiling, above your bed, and framing your window. 

10. Fall Décor Tips: Fall Wreaths

Add a fall wreath to your dorm room door and it will make your room fall ready before you even enter the room. Either stop by a craft store, or make a DIY project out of it.
