I have surprisingly received a handful of emails asking me to make a post on my dorm room’s decor, so now I am finally getting to it, since the school year is right around the corner. And while I will not be in a dorm room this year, having taken a year off since my first year and deciding to go to a school back here in St. Louis, my dorm room was absolutely adorable! I put so much work into making sure that it was super chic, a well as feeling homey.
I redid my room awhile back and you can view that post here! I love furnishing and decorating spaces if you couldn’t tell 😉
The summer leading up to my freshman year of college was super fun and exciting, because all I did was plan out my dorm room and find the cutest dorm room ideas and decor. I seriously spent months planning my dorm room out, because I wanted it to be absolutely perfect. And it was. I decided my side of the room’s colors would be —
hot pink | navy blue | gold | white/silver/acrylic
So, to stick with the color theme and have everything looking good, I obviously had gone ahead and made a Pinterest board full of various ideas and products that I loved. From there, I started picking and choosing what I actually wanted and what I was ok with not having. This was the finished product (and I will provide links everything using the same exact product or something very, very similar) —
