1. Have Some Posters

Add some posters to add color to your room. Maybe of your favorite rappers or anything that looks good to you. A good place to find some dope posters are at RedBubble.

2. Create Something

Guys can make DIYs too! They’re not all girly and who cares? If you’re an artsy guy, this is perfect. You can create a cork board to keep pictures up, maybe add a dry erase board th keep organized, or a calendar. Overall, it creates a nice area to hang things up.

Add pictures! Add pictures of your family and friends just anything that shows you having a good time with the people you love being with.

Create an organizer like this to let anyone know if you’re home or if you’re out. It’ll help your friends and RA know where you are if they need anything from you.

For those late nights studying either, you want to make a protein shake or some coffee to keep your energy up, I recommend buying them so you can avoid those Starbucks runs.

16. Add Some Flags

Add your school flag for school spirit or add a flag of your favorite sports team to give your room that extra look.

Cleanliness makes the list for dorm room essentials for guys. Mini vacuum cleaners and brooms will be lifesavers whenever you accidentally spill food on the floors (so keep those in handy)!

If you share a bathroom with the hall, keep a shower caddie with all your toiletries for quicker trips.

If you have a roommate who gets bothered over a lamp being on, have a mini one to connect to your bed.

20. Make A Key Necklace

If you don’t use a lanyard or lose items easily then pull a Zoey and make your key a necklace so you avoid the fear of losing your dorm key.
