Fairy String Lights
Make sure your dorm room is lit—literally and figuratively—with these delicate, wire-strung lights. Bringing your room ambience to the next level.
Neutral Color Palette
When the other students in your building are opting for bright colors and a maximalist approach, try something different. A neutral color palette looks clean and really opens up even the darkest of spaces.
Maximize Your Storage
