3. Storage Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Let’s face it, dorm room space is limited, to say the least. So we have to maximize storage to keep things organized and clutter-free. With endless storage solutions, there will be no excuse to keep things nice and neat. Utilize storage bins, under-bed organizers, and shelving to keep your room tidy and **maximize space.<\/strong> You can even get some hanging shelves for your closet, perfect for shoe organization!<\/p>\n\n\n\n**

4. Desk Essentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When it’s time to hit the books, you will want to be sure your desk is up to par with all the essentials. Set up your desk with a good gooseneck lamp, organizers for your pens and highlighters, and any necessary supplies to create a productive environment. Don’t forget the power strip to plug in all of your desk electronics! **Now you can go ahead and ACE those exams!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n**
**$\"LED$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n**5. Decorative Lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Atmosphere is everything!<\/strong> No dorm is complete without some snazzy lighting. String lights are the go-to for trendy dorm decor. You can get some easily removable command strips to hang your fairy lights around the room. LED strips are also very popular and come in a lot of funky colors, adding a pop of intrigue to your room. Soft lighting is a great way to tone things down after a stressful day of classes. Turn off those bright overhead lights, and plug in some string lights. You can chill, unwind, and relax after a long day on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Rugs and Throw Pillows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Warm up your dorm room with a nice area ruz. The rug will probably get some wear and tear so go for something durable and easy to clean. Make the space feel even more comfortable and with colorful throw pillows. These small details bring any room together and are another opportunity to add your personal style to the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Functional Furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If space allows, consider multi-purpose furniture like a futon. Futons are low maintenance and perfect for letting your hometown besties come and spend the night. If space is tight, and you don\u2019t have space for the classic college futon, stick with smaller items, like an ottoman. Snag an ottoman that doubles as storage for some extra space to tuck things away in. Even a small bedside table would be the perfect fit. We love it when **dorm decor meets functionality<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n**

8. Plants and Greenery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Incorporate low-maintenance plants or faux greenery to add a touch of nature and freshness to your dorm. We always say, that no space is complete without a touch of the outdoors. If a plant feels like another responsibility on top of your studies, get some faux plants<\/a> with brightly colored flowers to make your dorm room feel homey and inviting. Plants are an extra touch to consider for your dorm decor. There’s something about **bringing the outside in<\/strong> that rounds out any room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n**
