2. Headboards are a twin bed’s new best friend. To cover up plain dorm walls, a wooden or upholstered headboard makes an instant statement and adds a layer of homey comfort to the room. Tall, trendy lamps can help sophisticate a dorm room as well.

3. Wooden wall décor and metal windmill fans add a rustic cottage feel to this dorm room. The sheer curtains allow natural light to brighten up the cozy space without feeling cramped, and fresh succulents—a fabulous option for those without a green thumb—give a freshness to the room. Cotton is a cottage-style staple as well (design by Décor 2 Ur Door)
4. Tassels aren’t just for earrings. Added onto pillows, they create a texture element for your design.
5. Pairing an accent chair with your desk can elevate your dorm room style. Soft, cool colors also make a small space appear bigger.
