How To Decorate Your Dorm For Fall

The transition from living at home to a small dorm room can mean giving up a lot of things, but it doesn’t mean you should have to give up decorating for your favorite season. Cuddling up by the fire may not be an option this year, but keep scrolling to learn how to decorate your dorm for fall with five extremely cute ways to turn an average dorm room into an autumn wonderland.

1. Bring the outside, in.

Crunchy leaves, warm colors, and earthy scents are just a few of the things we adore about fall. Try these chic, nature-inspired wall hangings to bring the best part of outside into your room to enjoy every morning.

Beautiful wall decorations definitely help when it comes to decorating, but a fall-inspired room is truly incomplete without pumpkins. Add (these) velvet, beaded, or even classic orange pumpkins to your desk or nightstand to keep the tradition alive in a contemporary way.

2. Update your Terrarium!

Terrariums are incredibly cute, and are all the rage in dorm room decor. Even though your green and mossy inspired terrarium looked perfect for the summer, try updating its look this month with pumpkins, pine cones, and firefly lights. Place the final product on a window sill or in spot in your dorm that will catch the sunlight perfectly!

3. Give your bed a little upgrade.

Since fall is seasonal, it’s important to incorporate enough to make a statement without making too many detrimental changes. Instead of buying a new bedspread to decorate your dorm for fall, simply incorporate cute fall pillows and throw blankets on your bed. This will update your room without committing to anything too serious. As far as throw blankets go, display extremely cozy blankets in a wicker basket to grab and go whenever needed. You can also lay them out at the foot of your bed so they are nearby to snuggle up with on colder nights. Pillows and blankets can also be compacted and stored, so you can always bring them out again next year!

4. Pumpkin spike your coffee!

Make your coffee and mornings exciting again by updating your room’s coffee station. Start creating the perfect spread to wake up to by setting out all of your fall-themed mugs. You can find many for a good price on amazon or Etsy! Now is also the perfect time to stock up on delicious fall coffee (and coffee creamer) flavors.

Now that every morning will look and taste like fall, make sure your room smells like it too by splurging on these amazing fall scented candles. If your dorm room doesn’t allow candles, opt for plug in air fresheners or potpourri.
