MUGS
Speaking of coffee, mugs are a versatile addition to your dorm! Do you ever feel like your desk is a cluttered mess? Well, one way to help organize your desk (and your life!) is by using mugs as decoration and storage. That's right, mugs can double as both drink ware and a fun way to organize your desk. Use mugs as a cup holder for your pens, highlighters or even your select dorm utensils. The Save A Mouse mug is a fab conversation starter and perfect to look at while you write your first assignment for that gender studies elective you signed up for. The Dolly Parton Portrait mug also works for that mood too, just with a pop culture flare.
LIGHTING
You are gonna spend a lot of time in your dorm room so having great non ceiling lighting options are 100% essential. Besides your desk lap, decorative strings lights are a must for creating a cozy mood or hangout vibes because ofc you can't have candles! While everyone is definitely going to have the sparkle string lights that remind you of Christmas, you can stand out with these cute Pizza String Lights. Go beyond the basic babes!
THROW PILLOWS
Throw pillows are an easy way to add a pop of color and style to your dorm room. We offer many different sizes, shapes, and styles to choose from, so you can mix and match to create a unique look that reflects your personal style. Use on your bed, papasan chairs, and your regular desk chairs. Plus you can use larger ones as make shift floor cushions when you have extra visitors!

TAPESTRIES
Can't stand the white walls of the dorm room? Add some visual flair to your college dorm room with tapestries - a great option for dorm room decor. Tapestries can be used as wall hangings, tablecloths, or even bedspreads. They add dimension and pattern to a space, and can really help to make a dorm room feel like home. If you're looking for a tapestry that will make a statement, go for something bold and graphic. If you want something a little more subtle, look for a tapestry with a neutral color palette.
