2. Decorate the top of tables/dressers

A lot of people forget to cover the tops of the tables or dressers in their dorm rooms. You won’t have a lot of room in the first place so make sure you have stuff on top of them.

3. Buy a Rug

This is the absolute best hack for cleaning while also being a great way to decorate.

I had one in my freshman dorm room and it saved me from spending hundreds on spills my friends would make. You can have one that matches your color scheme while also saving you money.

Having a bed skirt is the holy grail to dorm decoration.

You can store away all of your “ugly” items and hide them behind the bed skirt.

6. Curtains + more space

As we said before, your dorm room is tiny AF.

By putting a cabinet above your desk, you are giving yourself more space and using up the wall instead of the floor. You can only add cute curtains to your room to make it look super cute.
