By Sherrie Le Masurier 

My dorm room furniture is so drab. Do you have any cheap dorm room decor ideas that will bring some life to my college residence?

 With a little creativity and minimal expense you’ll be able to liven up your dorm room furniture. One of the best ways to add bring some color into your dorm room is to focus on coordinating your bedding and accessories.

Before we go any further though, it’s important to remember what you bring in at the start of the school term must be taken back out again at the end of the year. So don’t go too overboard with stuff – a little color and a limited amount of stuff goes a long way. Cluttering up your dorm room space does little to make your living environment comfortable and relaxing.

When it comes bringing your drab dorm room furniture to life think fun and funky dorm room decor items like colorful throw and body pillows that coordinate with your bedding. Body pillows will also add to your comfortable level when studying in bed.

Speaking of dorm room beds and bedding you may want to purchase extra sheets and sew up some washable pillow covers, window toppers or even a duvet cover for your comforter. 

Look for dorm room decor accessories that bring the colors of your room together. Coordinating the colors of the waste paper can, plastic storage bins or baskets, photo frames and any additional lamps can really add to the overall look of your dorm room.

The dorm room decor accessories you select don’t have to be big to make a bold impression. They just need to coordinate and help bring the elements of your dorm room together.

Consider painting the frame of your bulletin board or adding some fabric and ribbon to it. Or, turn to dollar stores for inexpensive and ready-made dorm room decor items that will complement your dorm room furniture.

Personalized dorm room decor items are all that’s usually needed to bring a plain dorm room to life. So as you can see, all it takes is a little imagination and creativity and your dorm room furniture can be given a fresh new lease on life for very little money.
