Not everyone cares to decorate their dorm like the crazy coordinated rooms on Pinterest, so here are a few ways to add a homey touch without emptying your wallet.
Paint Something
I personally love to draw and paint, so I am definitely using this step in my dorm room. I painted an up close picture of a bulldog but used the same color scheme I'm using in my dorm. I love this idea because it's unique and something no one else will have! Even if you aren't artistic, even painting something small can add the perfect homey touch.
Polaroid Wall
Even if you don't own a Polaroid camera, just simply gathering your favorite pictures from your phone and printing them off works just as well. I've found that you can plug up your phone at a Walmart photo Kiosk and print 4x6 photos for very cheap! I recently printed 60 pictures and only paid $18! You can make a picture wall or frame some of your favorites.
Fairy Lights

This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but its something I have always wanted to do! I feel that it will create a whole different ambience at nighttime and cannot wait to try it. I even think the LED string lights would be amazing alternative!
Plants

I've always wanted a succulent and a few plants in my room, but I unfortunately don't have a green thumb. If you do, great! But if you're like me, I'd recommend buying a few fake plants. I've bought several fake succulents for very cheap. And if you keep your eye open, you'll find some that actually look real.
Tapestries
Tapestries are a great way to spice up your room. It is something not everyone will have and they are quite inexpensive. There are hundreds of tapestries with all sorts of designs to match your aesthetic.
