College Dorm Room Shopping Part 4: Decorations
As the fourth and final part in CF’s College Dorm Room Shopping series, the focus is on dorm room decorations. This, of course, is the most fun part of shopping for your room at college, and your opportunity to show off your personality.
As far as dorm room accessories go, so long as you are allowed to bring it (check with your school if you aren’t sure), practically anything goes!
One of the rules I mentioned in my post on dorm room bedding applies to decorations too - you have the whole rest of your life to go with “practical” furnishings. College is your time to go all out, where it’s socially acceptable to have a completely crazy room if that’s what you want. Have fun with it!
Check out some of my picks for cute dorm room decorations. P.S. - They’re all within a college student’s budget!

 Vogue Wall Art - $49.99 |

haha i love how much i think like you! I have a big audrey print & vogue poster as well as a zebra french memo board (& warhol marilyn monroe print). I think your dorm miniseries has been great advice! The only think i need help with is figuring out how the heck im going to bring all the clothes i want to (or what is even necessary?)

It depends on the general weather conditions wherever your college is at. For example, if you’re going to the Bay Area, you may want to bring a little bit of everything to wear (think layers), whereas going to a school in SoCal/LA may warrant more warm-weather outfits. Research your college’s atmosphere as well; I go to UC Berkeley (go bears!) and it’s really chill here, people always wear jeans and t-shirts.
Lauren - Great minds think alike :) About bringing all the clothes you want to - I have the same problem. I always end up bringing EVERYTHING and taking stuff home later! And then coming back and getting that stuff I took home because I always want to wear it when it’s not around, ha ha. The problem with being a college fashion addict is that clothing storage sucks!
i’m going to be at a florida school so I won’t be needing many cold weather clothing for a while (although i still want to bring it up with me!). I think im just going to utilize every bit of space I have.. I have a dresser & doorway sized closet and they’re going to be stuffed to the brim. I also have a little shoe rack (which is going to be really hard to narrow down). ah im so excited. Thanks for the advice!

This is a really old post, but from time to time I like to browse through the older posts on here to refresh my memory on certain tips.
Decorations, fun stuff.
I get ALOT of magazines–TEEN VOGUE, SEVENTEEN, VOGUE, ETC.
So I recently sat down and cut out pages upon pages of amazing ads to hang on my wall. I also made a collage of random cutouts of celebrities and trends on a huge poster board. It took some time, but what better way to recycle your magazines huh?
Stephanie - I love that idea! I know a few girls who decorated their entire wall with fashion photos from Vogue that they ripped out. It looked amazing! If you have the time and energy to do it, it’s an awesome way to use those old magazines.
Nice information, I found a really great site on the topic at CollegePad.com
