How to make your dorm room look good?
My best advice for finding the perfect dorm room decor is to pick a theme or vibe and go from there.
For example, you could make your dorm room look:
- Cozy
- Luxurious
- Modern
- Beachy
- Bright
- Neutral
- Vintage
- Or event pick a color theme!
Then, you can choose your bedding, wall decor, and accessories (like lamps, throw pillows, and blankets) based on your chosen theme.
Whatever theme or style you choose, you’ll be able to find some great decorations to start with in this post.
Dorm Room Ideas
1. Luxury dorm room
If you love a neutral, luxurious vibe, this dorm room is for you!
Pair some luxury fashion prints with some cozy neutral bedding. This is such a simple (and actually affordable) way to decorate your dorm room.
2. Matching roommates decor
An easy way to make your dorm room decor look cohesive with your roommate is to choose the same headboard and each get your own customized neon name sign!
This adds some great ambience and personality to your bedroom.
3. Queen of hearts room
Pair this vintage wall print with a cute heart pillow and some other comfy bedding, and you’ve got the most relaxing corner put together already.
You can easily pair this dorm room decor with a neon sign as well if you want to add to the ambience!
4. Blue themed room
Blue is such a calming color. Plus, it pairs well with neutral white bedding.
I’m surprised how easy it was to find the products to recreate this exact dorm room!
5. Simple girly dorm room
Decorate your dorm room with pink, red, some cute wall prints, and a monogram pillow if you want to easily replicate this girly vibe!
A neon sign also looks amazing in this space.
6. Pink theme
I love how it looks to pair this vintage wall decor with some dainty floral bedding. This will make your room feel super unique and personalized!
7. Blue bow room
Adding bows on the wall is such an easy way to dress up your dorm room in a super affordable way!
You could even add a couple bows above your headboard if you want to extend the look further.
8. Young girly aesthetic
This young and girly aesthetic is so simple but so adorable! This blue heart pillow is also an easy way to add an extra pop of color.
9. Bright and beachy
If you’re a beach girl at heart, this dorm room was made for you. I love how it’s beach-themed but still incorporates bright colors like pink and orange! Feels like a sunset or a tequila sunrise 😉
10. Coastal elegant

12. Cowgirl vibes
Create a western-inspired dorm room with a cute print like this and a neon sign! This will make your dorm room feel young, modern, cozy, and country all at the same time.
13. Red and white
One of the easiest ways to make your dorm room your own is with unique throw pillows. These red puff throw pillows and dice pillow give off such a fun and bright vibe.
14. Vintage elegant
I love how this dorm room feels a little vintage, but still elegant! You can achieve this look with some disco prints and this kissy throw pillow.
15. Cozy luxury
If you want your dorm room to give off luxurious vibes but still want it to be cozy, keep it simple like this. Grab some ruffled throw pillows and a rattan light. Paired with some neutral bedding, your dorm room will feel so elegant.
16. Layer textures & patterns
When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with patterns and textures!
This blue abstract print is a great statement piece! And, you can use this boucle ottoman for extra storage space while achieving a 3D feel.

This dorm room looks modern but still soft and comfy. To recreate this look, start with a gorgeous rug and then add some unique monogram pillows. Then, you can finish with more throw pillows and blankets!
18. Modern with gold accents
When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a neutral gold vibe. Just get some gold frames, neutral bedding, and a storage ottoman to complete the look.
19. Young & bright
This dorm room is simple but so cozy. You can’t beat the look of three large, matching prints above your bed and some cute throw pillows!
20. All white matching beds
If you and your roommate have bunk beds, getting a tall shelf is a genius idea! This will give you each some storage space next to your bed while keeping your decor neutral and minimal.
Plus, add a neon sign above each bed to make it feel more homey.
21. Vintage wall decor
This beanbag chair makes the room feel SO cozy! And, when you cover your wall in vintage prints, your space will feel less industrial and more lived-in.
22. Summery & natural
These beachy prints plus a natural, rattan headboard will make your bedroom feel like summer all year!

Adding hot pink accessories is never a bad idea. If you’re not really into the idea of hot pink, you can achieve this same look in whatever color you want with a custom neon sign and a custom monogram pillow!
24. Butterfly theme
A butterfly always makes a good statement piece! This pink and gray decor look is gorgeous.
25. Classy gold & pink
Gold and pink are two colors you really won’t get tired of if you want something bright and cheery. You can put your fave photos with your friends and family in each of the frames!
26. Barbie dream dorm
If you want a Barbie dream dorm room, focus on finding some cute pink decor and then pair it with a high-quality decor piece like this Hermes blanket.
You can even add a neon sign to this room too if you want some extra ambience!
And that’s it for today! I hope you found the perfect dorm room decor 🙂
