1. Throw Pillows: Easily add color with one or a few pillows to accent your room.  Compliment your room décor with a pop of color or one that matches your bedspread or wall art to add more life to your room.

2. Play with Lights: Dorm room lighting is normally drab and bleak.  Take the initiative to improve your surroundings and buy floor or desk lamps to add a homey touch to your living space.  Also, don’t be afraid to get adventurous and play with stringable lights.  Hanging lights over your bed, around the door or windows can create a fun and playful atmosphere.  Match your lights with the rest of your room décor and you will have a peaceful spot to hang out with friends, study or relax.
