Dorm room decoration! This was my favorite part about moving in to my tiny college dorm.

FRESHMAN DORM ROOM DECOR
1. BLACK AND WHITE TAPESTRY
The tapestry in this dorm room is so creative!
Tapestries are a great way to bring some color and character into any dorm room. I definitely recommend covering the sad white brick walls with something, and a tapestry makes that easy!
The dark bedding, creative decor above the head of the bed, and organization under the bed are all notable pieces in this dorm.

If you’re allowed to loft your beds on your campus, keeping a couch under one of the lofted beds is a great space saving idea.
I love the new theme of tulle and lights as decorations! It’s so cheap and doubles as a curtain in any dorm room.
