Visualizing the complete room is essential to putting together the perfect dorm decor. Planning your dorm room look in advance helps you narrow down your college dorm bedding and furniture choices, ensuring every decor element has a function and a place. Here are some fun and stylish decor themes to get you started on your decorating. Go Bohemian Indulge your sense of fun with a cool Bohemian dorm theme. Opt for bold college dorm bedding prints in funky colors to liven up your space. Select a large neutral shag rug and add brightly-colored floor cushions instead of dorm chairs to create a fun hangout space. A rug in cocoa or navy is both stylish as well as functional - it can camouflage dirt and spills while looking beautiful. Turn Your Wall into an Artist’s Canvas Include your dorm walls in your decor theme to create a unique and stylish dorm space. Confine the majority of your dorm furniture and accessories to three sides of your room, leaving one side free. Turn that wall into a showcase for your artistic leanings. Use wallpaper or decals to create a one-of-a-kind display. Abstract designs such as multicolor concentric circles or squares, or designs that borrow from nature are both attractive as well as easy to create. Most dorm walls are painted a neutral pastel shade so choose decals or appliques in colors like bright green, orange, cobalt and fuchsia so that they really pop. Add one or two dorm chairs in neon shades to complete the look. Add Elegance with Bed Skirts and Canopies Bed skirts and canopies are a great college dorm bedding accessory to create an elegant space. Use sheer pastel drapery with a crisp white canopy to create a fairytale bed for your dorm room. Bedspreads and duvets in delicate floral patterns work well with this look. Add ruffled decorative pillows in elegant, feminine shades such as pinks, pale blues and lavenders. Ruffled bed skirts add the perfect finishing touch. They also help turn the space under your bed into a concealed storage area. Add storage bins and bus trays to store heavy winter clothes, luggage items and textbooks and files that are not needed every day. Decorate dorm chairs with matching upholstery and skirts for added appeal. Put together the perfect dorm room space using these cool decorating tips.
