30 Insanely Cute Dorm Room Transformations To Try With Your Roommate

College move-in season is around the corner and if you're staying on campus this year, you need to make sure that your dorm room is as cute as your outfit. Not only do you sleep in your room, but you also study, hang out with your roomie, and just overall chill in there. Basically, it should be cozy AF. Unfortunately, most colleges and universities provide you with a super bland, super tiny room that you're supposed to live in for an entire year (with another person, nonetheless). Don't worry, though, because there are a lot of ways to spice up your living arrangement. Check out these 30 cute dorm room ideas to get you inspired as you prepare to makeover a room of your own.

1. Sunshine yellow.

Nothing will lift your spirits after a rough final like getting back to a bright dorm room like this one. Use yellow as an accent color for a guaranteed mood lift.

2. Pretty pastels.

Feel right at home in your dorm room with some gorgeous and soothing pastel colors.

3. Graphic black and white.

Your room will be the coolest in the dorm with a simple, but effective black and white color scheme.

4. Western vibes.

If you're a westerner at heart, bring the feeling of home to your dorm room with some cute accent pieces.

5. All pink everywhere.

Why use pink as an accent color when you can use it as the color?

6. Cozy warm tones.

You want to be comfy in your dorm room, so opt for some warmer tones like deep reds and pretty browns for your space. As a bonus, add some plants (real or fake) to make your space feel like a true oasis.

7. Lots of patterns.

Make a space completely your own by adding all the fake wallpaper your heart desires. To make sure patterns don't clash, stick to a similar color scheme, like black and white. Then, add even more dimension with lots of colorful and textured pillows.

8. All white with details.

If you want to keep things simple and clean while still adding a touch of your personality, then this all-white look is the way to go. With the addition of a monogram here and a poster there, you'll have a streamlined look that screams you.

9. Purple paradise.

Get a glamorous vibe with luxe textures and as much purple as you can get your hands on.

10. Geometric lines.

Use prints, temporary wallpaper, and a geometric rug to achieve a cool and clean look in your dorm room.

11. Major TikTok vibes.

Yup I'm talking cool colors, fun vintage prints, and lot of plants. Your room will be the go-to place to hang (and film videos) with this trendy decor.

12. Luxe textures.

Your room will be the most glamorous in the dorm if you use pieces with muted colors and luxurious textures.

13. Pretty in pink.

Turn your room into a pink paradise with lots of string lights, light-up signs, and, of course, pink!

14. Boho lounge.

Create the perfect hangout space by putting your bed on risers and getting a cheap futon for underneath. You won't be able to get your friends to leave once the chill sesh begins.

15. Preppy patterns.

Mixing patterns is an art form, but if you stick to a color scheme and you're smart about your choices, you can end up with this preppy masterpiece.

16. Floral fantasy.

Feel like you're stepping into a garden every time you enter your dorm room with a floral duvet and all the plants you can fit.

17. Posters on posters.

Take inspo from this super chic room and layer on ALL the posters. Then, keep the rest of your decor simple and white so the focus is all on the wall.

18. Matchy matchy.

Already know who your roommate is going to be in the fall? Then work together to design the perfect room that will fit both your aesthetics. Start with a neutral base color, like gray and then choose a different color for both of you to express your individual personalities with.

19. Warm yellow.

Create a whole vibe in your room with colored lights that give off a warm yellow glow. Then, accessorize with even more yellow for the coziest feel.

20. Ultra minimalist.

Let's get real for a second, college life can be hectic and decor can be expensive, so it might be nice to keep your room simple (and inexpensive). Just because you're going with a minimalist look, though, doesn't mean it needs to be boring. Opt for a few cute pieces like a pretty area rug or print for your wall to show off your personality a little bit.

21. Luxe golds.

This room in Kris Jenner-approved. To achieve the look, opt for muted tones with gold accents and, of course, cheetah print.

22. Ocean blues.

Bring the sea to your dorm room with all the shades of blue you can cram in there. Then, accessorize with some drift wood-esque accents to really get that beachy vibe down.

23. Shakespearean romance.

Candles (make sure your dorm allows them), roses (fake ones so they last), and brick temporary wallpaper will leave your friends saying "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" the second they walk in.

24. Complimentary colors.

There's a reason why so many sports teams rock the colors blue and orange: they're complimentary! So, if pinks and purples aren't your thing, try this color combo for a unique stylish look.

25. Cozy fall vibes.

You may not be able to experience the joys of pumpkin spice lattes and Hocus Pocus reruns all year, but you can design your room for maximum fall vibes.

26. Black and gray.

Just because your decor is made up of these two simple colors doesn't mean it's going to be boring.

27. Cool blues.

With so many different gorgeous shades of blue out there, I don't blame you for wanting to cover your room in the color.

28. Sporty vibes.

Incorporate your love for your favorite sports team by using their colors (and logos) to decorate your room. Or, take the opportunity to show some school pride!

29. Red hot.

Go for a something more simple—like white—for your duvet so then, when it comes to the accents, you can go crazy with a standout color like red.

30. Snuggly browns.

Don’t underestimate the power of brown décor—when used right with the appropriate accents, it can make for a super cozy atmosphere.
