Use Records as Wall Decor 📷 quinnybrogs / VSCO If vinyl is jam, don’t keep your collection hidden away.
Invest in some floating shelves and break out your records to create an artsy wall display like the one pictured above from quinnybrogs. Choosing a comforter duvet with similar hues and colors as the record covers makes for an especially nice touch.

The blue color scheme and matching monitor background ties the overall calming atmosphere together. Not to mention the vertical line all the way up to the ceiling adds depth and makes the room feel a bit bigger.
The addition of an area rug contributes to an overall welcoming vibe that you can’t help but feel cozy in.
A rolling clothes rack not only helps keep your room tidy when working with a small dorm closet, but also serves as a whole aesthetic on its own. Framing a poster is an easy way to elevate your style while stilling showing off your love of music. A perfect blend of tasteful aesthetic touches and the tidy layout gives it a polished industrial feel we can’t get enough of.
This student room from docileowen makes great use of the available space, like how the mini fridge is neatly tucked underneath the desk. Incorporating a longboard, guitar, or other hobby items as dorm decoration is a good way to add personality to your college digs.
And not just figuratively in the aura sense, but also literally because many houseplants (or in this case, dormplants) recycle carbon dioxide to provide oxygen.

Nautical colors paired with beachy decorations give it an overall atmosphere of warmth and preppy sophistication. Mixing patterns and prints is a great way to add personality and visual interest.
It might take a little while for your vision to come together, but making your space at college somewhere you’re proud to call your own is well worth the effort.
