So, you just moved into your dorm and you are looking for a way to spice things up a bit?
Decorating a dorm room is very easy because of the size of the space per person; so, it doesn’t require much.
At the same time decorating a dorm can be a bit limiting due to space and keeping things minimal but somehow making your space as homely as possible.
Wallpapers are a good option for your walls instead of paint; easy to remove and last for as long as possible; also, they are cheaper than paint!
Even if your dorm room has a rule against sticking things on the wall, don’t worry you can always use the gentle adhesive that I will recommend in this post, they come off the wall without ruining the initial paint on the wall.
In this post, you will see recommendations of insanely cute wallpaper ideas for your dorm room and where you can buy them.
