With the excitement of back-to-school season upon us, I am thrilled to share some fabulous dorm room inspiration for those of you who are still in the planning stage. I must admit, I had initially intended to publish this post earlier, but better late than never, right? Today, I bring you a wonderful array of inspiration for both guys and girls, because let’s face it, everyone deserves to have a dorm room that is not only stylish but also a cozy sanctuary. Even though guys may not always prioritize decor as much as girls, they too appreciate a room that looks great and feels like home. Plus, who doesn’t love the thrill of rearranging the layout to create the perfect space? Get ready to dive into the world of dorm room dreaminess!
Scroll down to explore examples of dorm room decor for both guys and girls. If you prefer a one-stop shopping experience, you can find dorm bundles here. I hope you find this post helpful!
Let’s start with the guys…
I love this bedding combination and this square trunk used as a nightstand. Rugs are a must to cover those cold dorm room floors – extra points if the rug is washable.
A collected art wall is always fun. Music posters, sports teams, and photos can easily add character to plain dorm room walls. Tapestries can also fill a vast void. Command hooks and strips are a must for hanging wall decor.
String lights are popular in dorm rooms and come in several lengths and styles. I like the Southwestern throw blanket for a masculine touch. This quilt has a similar look and comes in XL twin.

Now for the girls…
Add personality to boring walls with peel & stick wallpaper. Check first to make sure the school approves.
White shelves atop the university-issued desk brighten up the space and add storage.
Custom headboards are another way to inject personality into a small space.
