Transforming a dorm room into a home can be difficult as the small space can become easily cluttered and cramped. You want it to reflect you and your personal style. Minimalist décor is the best way to add your personal touch and small details to a room while maintaining a liveable space. Here are 10 minimal décor objects you need in your dorm room.
Your dorm room might be already provided with a full length mirror, but if it isn’t this is the first décor object you will need. Not only are they perfect for selfies and checking your great outfit, but it also opens up the space, giving the illusion that the room is bigger than it actually is.

Ask any minimalist you know, and they will tell you that to decorate your room you need plants. They give your dorm room life and colour while doubling in cute décor. Buy a nice planter and you are set.

Dorm rooms have limited storage space so a good idea that both doubles as storage and décor are storage ottomans. These can also become additional seating for when you have friends over, while holding inside blankets, jumpers or anything else you might need.

Coat hangers can be a cute way of displaying some of your favourite pieces of clothing, handbags or even hats while maximising closet space. As you will probably not be able to drill anything to the wall, our suggestion is to buy a standing coat hanger for that awkward corner in your dorm room.

Are you a planner? An organiser? Do you like to showcase some of your favourite moments through photographs? Or do you need to read a couple of inspirational quotes when you wake up? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then this is the item for you. A cork board can be one of the most understated and useful things in your dorm room. You can pin phots, to do lists and even a plan of your week so to help you remember everything you need to remember while decorating your room.

Shoe racks are perfect for displaying your best pairs of shoes while being a compact storage idea. Not only that, but if you buy one that has a bench on the top it can also double as additional seating for anyone you invite to your dorm room.

Dorm room walls are plain and simple, and some people like them as they are. However, if you like the minimal look does not mean that you have to give up on a little bit of art on the walls. Art can be just as simple as you want it to be, just print out your favourite designs and pop them into a plain frame.
