Keep reading for the top 10 places to shop for dorm decor that’s cheap and cute, and leave your worries behind!

1. Urban Outfitters

Urban is a great resource for gorgeous tapestries & bedding, very unique decor items, and a decent selection of Twin XL bedding. However, sometimes the prices can be a bit on the pricier side. Like most of their items, the dorm style they represent is very boho chic, but you can always guarantee an awesome find that you won’t find anywhere else!

2. Amazon

Amazon has a vast selection of affordable dorm decor options and storage/appliances. They also offer free shipping for students with Amazon Prime, as well as many Twin XL “bed in a bag” options. Amazon can be bit overwhelming, and if you don’t really know what you want your dorm room to look like, you run the risk of getting a lot of things that don’t end up matching.

3. SHEIN

A good site to shop for dorm decor that is unique and trendy; they offer items including tapestries, colorful bedding and fun accent pieces and are super affordable! This is one of the best places to buy dorm stuff because it truly is very cheap and there’s so much cute stuff to choose from!

4. Red Bubble

With original and unique designs, Redbubble will help you make your dorm room Insta-worthy. Shop cute cushions and pillows, colorful tapestries and duvet covers. They have thousands of designs so get creative!

5. Dormify

Dormify’s collections allow you to see & purchase fully decorated rooms. They have an abundance of unique & stylish pillows and dorm accessories. On the down side, most products are somewhat pricey, so it’s best to buy a few select items and not to furnish your whole room.

6. Walmart

A good source for inexpensive dorm room furniture like areas rugs, mirrors, and bookcases, but definitely not your go-to for room decor as it is often simple and many others will buy things from Walmart, making it hard to highlight your personal style.

7. Pbteen

An amazing store for chic, preppy and nautical dorm decor; almost anything can be custom monogrammed. They have a gallery showcasing fully decorated bedrooms with great decor ideas. Overall, Pbteen is on the expensive side and most bedding choices are Twin or Full/Queen, with few Twin XL options.

8. Target

Whether you are looking for bedding, bathroom items, frames or a cute lamp, Target has it all at very affordable prices. They have a huge variety of cute items and lots of Twin XL beddings. However, if you shop for dorm decor at Target, be prepared to probably have similar items as a lot of other dorm rooms in your building – everyone shops here.

9. The Container Store

For tons of practical storage solutions to organize your small dorm closet and bathroom, the Container Store is the place to go. They also have a dorm registry, a section to shop by colors, and an interactive shopping list so you don’t forget anything. They are, however, limited to storage – so no bedding or decor options.

10. IKEA

Has IKEA ever done wrong? No way. Especially not when it comes to cute AND affordable furniture and decor for your dorm room. Their online selection is unbeatable and you can search by whatever style you’re going for!
