With all of the college rules and fine print, it can be hard to make campus housing into something more personable and comfortable. These creative ideas will help you make your space more personable without spending a lot of money or breaking the rules. Not a college dorm student? No worries – these tips work for apartments too!
Rooms can instantly look cozier with the right lighting. Students can find stringed Christmas lights in their parent's garage or from a thrift store. Hang them as is or transform them into a cute garland with DIY tutorials.
Even just relying on stylish lamps for lighting can make a difference. Don't forget to use LED-battery operated candles in cute containers to make your space feel more comfortable.
Make the bed the focus area of the room with bold fabrics. Start with a neutral color comforter, such as white or black. These standard comforters are usually more affordable, which is awesome. Then add bold fabrics with fun pillows, sheets, and throw blankets. Now you can affordably change up your decor when you get bored of it or if you want to change up the decor for the seasons. Simply change out the pillows and accessories whenever you want a change of scenery.
Wall space is the hardest area to tackle since you aren't allowed to paint or put holes in the wall. You can purchase affordable frames from dollar stores or thrift stores and spray paint them a modern color. Vintage frames repainted in teal or mint look amazing.
You can also find free printable art online or purchase affordable downloadable prints from Etsy. Hang them with specially designed wall hanging strips.
You don't have to buy all new accessories to give your dorm room a new look. Take a look at what you already. What would look new again with a new, hip color? Boring desk accessories, lamp bases, chairs, and even trashcans can be transformed into fun pieces by spray painting them a new color.
I am constantly spray painting thrift store finds a new color to fit in better with my decor and give older things an updated look. Need some inspiration? Just search "spray paint" on Pinterest, and you will find hundreds of ideas. There are so many tutorials for transforming thrift store finds and dollar store finds into high-class design items with one can of spray paint. The best part is that spray paint is usually $5-10 a can and will last for a few different projects.

Women’s robes aren’t just for lounging at the end of the day while sipping martinis and spilling tea with friends. This staple wardrobe requirement is great for all day, every day. And even some nights if you are ready to leave your den looking fierce while feeling fantastic.

Turn “you time” into “it’s so you time” when you level up your look and make a plush house coat your number one fashion accessory. The only question you should be asking at this point is – which luxe hooded robe should I choose?
