18 Ridiculously Cute Dorm Room Ideas We’re Crushing on BIG Time
Cute Dorms That’ll Leave You Feeling Majorly Inspired

With so many dorm decor options out there, back to school shopping can feel a bit overwhelming.
Even the decisions that are supposed to be simple (like picking out bedding) can be a paralyzing experience.
But:
Creating the cute dorm room of your dreams is the end goal. So, it’s no wonder that you’re experiencing a little FOMO.
Plus:
It’s more than just a bedroom, right?
At college your dorm becomes your home away from home. It’s your sanctuary to get away from it all and your most frequent chill spot with friends.
Most importantly:
It needs to be an environment that fits into your self- care routine.
A dorm room is like a blank canvas and you should personalize it a way that speaks to you. Tropical, preppy, boho, everything pink, extra cozy – you can choose to decorate the space (or at least half of it) however you want.
So:
Here are 18 cute dorm room ideas to help you decide on your own perfect blend of decor.
