Dorm room ideas: 16 budget-friendly looks and products

If you're living on campus, then our dorm room ideas are all you need to help inspire your space. Dormitories aren't known for their dreamy interiors, or lighting so it's the perfect opportunity to get creative with your surroundings. 

This is your home-from-home for a while, so it's worth going all-out in your dorm room to make sure that you have your own personal piece of paradise to come home to everyday after class.

Whether you're studying, socializing, watching Netflix or snoozing, we've rounded up our favorite dorm room looks that are both stylish and comfortable (including turning that far-from-best bed into something you can sleep on without a sore back).

From preppy to jockstar and everything in between, these diverse dorm room decor designs get an A grade for aesthetic and affordability. Because college is expensive enough as it is, but you still deserve a stylish space.
