Your walls are usually where you have the most freedom in expressing your personality in your dorm room so you want to make the most of it. You should really think of the walls of your dorm room as a canvas. Before you get started take a little time to do some asking around so you know about the rules regarding putting holes in walls, painting, or using tape on walls (the wrong kind takes paint with it). Professional poster adhesive, which can be purchased fairly inexpensively at most decorating stores can save you a lot of trouble later on when it’s time to move.

Posters are the typical wall decors in dormitories. They are cheap and accessible. Posters are much a part of college dorm life that it’s not unusual to see poster sales at the start of each semester. Posters are perhaps the easiest accessories to use for spicing up a rather sterile dorm room. To make your posters look more attractive, you can frame them like you would with photographs. This way, they will look more like a painting and not just a piece of big paper splashed with your rock band’s album cover or Brad Pitt’s promotional movie picture. That Versace ad campaign too will look so much more sophisticated with a frame enclosing it.

Photographs - these not only personalize your dorm room but give warmth to the space. You can hang framed photos, use a laundry line and hang photos ala “clothes to dry” or hang a corkboard and post photos as if sticking post-its. Photos give the room a more casual look, perfect for the fun college life.

A dry erase board can perform several duties, help you to keep your schedule organized, give you a place to leave notes for your roommate or friends, and with the many accessories now offered for dry erase boards an excellent place to put pictures and other mementos. Mini-lights aren’t just for Christmas anymore, stores sell them in a variety of colors and styles and by stringing a few along a wall you can creates a really unique and interesting display.

Area rug - yes, you can use a rug as a wall decor. Choose an area rug with a vivid color or a conspicuous design. An area rug with nice details will certainly replace the bed as the dorm room’s focal point.

Dorm rooms usually don’t give you a lot of space to work with but that doesn’t mean that you can’t make it feel like home with a little planning and effort.
