This post is about dorm room decor ideas.

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

Dorm rooms may be tiny, but they can be made extremely cute. Decorating a dorm room is such a fun activity and allows you to really make a space your own.

This post shows you 17 freshman dorm room decor ideas.

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.

    After I initially commented I seem to have clicked the -Notify
    me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a
    comment is added I receive four emails with the same comment.

    There has to be a way you can remove me from that service?
    Thank you!
