6. Light fluffy textiles and patchwork quilts

Fairytale lovers can create a little country haven, even in the city. Opt for light and white bedding with ruffles for a cute country look. A patchwork quilt makes for the perfect cottagecore bedroom!

7. Lots of shelving

8. Lay down some peel and stick contact paper

It’s amazing as you can use it on counter tops, for cabinets and all kinds of furniture, to transform it easily and give it a completely different look. It also removes super easily too, which means you can put everything back to how it was originally on moving out. This means that you are completely free to choose how you want it to look. One of the best dorm room decor ideas ever!

9. Wall hangings for jewellery

Use cream hooks or specially designed jewellery hangers you can hoist to the wall, they double as pretty wall decor!

10. Hang pretty summer dresses as decor

Adorn an empty wall with your cutest celebration or party dress, or super cute lacy number. It’s a great little way to express your personality and to fill a bare wall at the same time. It’s an amazing way to make your dorm room look cute without paint needed.

11. A trunk at the bottom of your bed

12. Botanical removable wallpaper

13. Hang and display pretty plates

Dorm room trends for 2022 dorm room themes decor ideas

By @littletinyghost 👈🏻

The perfect way to decorate your dorm for fall or autumn, all the warm wooden touches and witchy home decor to make your space incredibly homey and restful, soothing to the soul and as helpful as interior can be to your mental health. With all the toasted and honey, salted caramel vibes, Halloween decor, quirky illustrations, cosy textures like macrame, this could be described as a dark cottagecore bedroom…

1. Add blackout curtains

So cosy and comforting, especially in the summer time when you need to catch an early night, or catch a nap in the day time after pulling an all nighter! Here in the UK the sun only sets about 10pm at night in the summer, then it’s still light outside for the next hour, which makes it hard to want to settle down and get ready for bed in the evenings.

2. References to the forest

3. Paleontology, astrology and nature based wall art
