Dorm Decorating – Make A Statement

So you’ve made it to college, and in the process you’ve left behind the comfy old bedroom that was your sanctuary. Now, don’t let those ugly white dorm room walls get you down! College is about finding yourself and making a statement. Here are some funky and out of the box ways to decorate your dorm, and express the oh-so-cool person that is you!

Deck the Walls

Posters? Yawn! Cover up all that white while staying within your dorm regulations with removable wall tattoos! These decorative decals come in all shapes, sizes, colours and themes. Love to travel? Try a cityscape or the Eiffel Tower. Feeling abstract? Go for spray painted graffiti look. The possibilities are endless. You can even try glow in the dark designs, or stick-on white board and chalk board decals. The best part is they peel right off without damaging the walls.

Lights Please!

Lamps are boring! Why not try some paper lanterns, or string up some party lights? They come in all colours and shapes, and they can really make a room stand out. If you think you’re hot and spicy, say it with these super crazy fiesta chilli pepper lights! Pair with them with a giant cactus wall tattoo and you’re ready for a desert cook-out!
