Summer is the perfect time to start collecting things for your dorm room next year! Express yourself through art, lights and objects in your dorm room — but don't forget to make it comfortable! Your dorm room is not only where you sleep, but where you do homework, socialize and live! Below are some tips and inspiration to make your dorm room the comfiest in your residence hall.
Add a cute rug
Cover up those cold tile floors of your dorm room with a fuzzy rug. That way, when you get up in the morning, it won't feel like your feet are freezing off. This also makes the room feel more comfortable and homey.
Houseplants
Houseplants are a quick and easy way to make your dorm feel like home. Having a cute little plant to take care of is a good de-stressor and can help teach you some responsibility. I recommend cactuses and succulents, as they don't require too much attention.
Add some photographs
Memories of friends and family back home can ease your homesickness. You can add to your photos throughout the year with the new memories you make at school.
Posters
Personalize your walls with some of your unique interests to leave your mark on the room.
Blankets
Perfect to snuggle in when you're feeling homesick, tired, or just lazy. Watch some Netflix, do some homework, or whatever you need to do while wrapped in a comfy blanket.
Throw pillows
Throw pillows are so fun because you can personalize them or have them compliment the 'theme' of your dorm. They're also useful for making your bed more comfortable or for sleeping on.
Lights
Whether they're used for mood lighting or just brightening up your room, you can't go wrong with lights. String lights are a popular and easy way to add some light to your room. You can also get a cute lamp or a functional floor lamp! A brighter room will make an illusion of more space.
Knick Knacks
Funny memories, gifts from family, souvenirs from foreign places… all are things you can add to your dorm to make it feel homier. They can also be great conversation starters!
Mirrors
The mirrors schools provide can be a little…lacking. I recommend getting an over the door full length mirror so you can see your whole outfit for the day. This will also make the room seem bigger.
Wall art

Again, express your interests and individuality through your wall art. This is another great conversation starter! Inspiring quotes, tapestries, signs, etc are all things you can hang on your dorm wall.
