This is your chance to make or break the vibes you get when laying on your bed studying or hanging out with friends on the floor on the weekend. Here are a few ideas of dorm room styles that you could style yours after! Make it your own, don't be afraid to mix and match, this is your space!

Or Mrs. Modern! All you need for this room look is white + black furniture, a few prints, plenty of industrial modern looking accents, and maybe a pop of color!

5. Indie

For this room look, use minimal pattern in large quantities, and rather, use a few bold patterns in small quantities. Try an accent pillow or a throw blanket!

6. Farmhouse Friendly

This one is perfect for our country gals! A nice soft patterned quilt, along with some wood accents and plenty of white will make for this cozy little room! Don't forget to bring old pictures and memories from home!

7. Collectors Corner

For those of us who can't seem to get rid of old books, postcards, or pictures (no shame), this one is for you! Simply hang up all your old momentoes over your desk as reminders of how blessed you are! Keep the furniture simple so as not to distract from your keepsakes!

8. White + Bright, Clean + Green

9. Trippy Twinkles

Grab a bold-patterned comforter or maybe a tie-dyed tapestry and a disco ball to complete this look! A mirror and some plants might help to balance out the pops of pizzaz!

10. Bright + Bubbly
