1. Kate Spade Gold Dots Highball Acrylic Glasses– Functional and adorable– these glasses even match the gold polka dot Kate Spade planner
2. Cupcake Confetti Birthday Tassel Garland– This bright tassel garland would look  amazing hung above a dorm room desk or bed. Decorate your room like you’re having a party everyday! 
3. Felix Navy Catch All– Store your stationary, notepads, room keys, etc. in this beautifully patterned catch all container. 
4. Macaroon Box. I cannot get over how adorable and chic these little macaroon boxes are! Perfect for trinkets or pieces of jewelry you don’t want laying around.
5. Metallic Zebra Dish. Yet another stylish and functional way to display a few bracelets and rings. 
6. “Hustle” print. Get inspired with this “Every Day I’m Hustling” hot pink print. This would be a great addition to any dorm bulletin board. 
7. Colorful Peony Stools. Make one of these painted stools the brightest accent in your room. Have another place to sit, or use it to pile on clothes you tried on but didn’t end up wearing (anyone else guilty of multiple outfit changes?!)
8. Ikat Monogram Letter. Get your initials in these exotic colored fabric letters that make a statement. 
9. Samira Frame. Loving this gold and fuchsia frame. If you’re like me, then most of my pictures are of my dog. What can I say? She’s so fluffy and photogenic. 
10. Bargello Chevron Zig Zag Lamp. Add a homey touch and some additional light with this gorgeous lamp. 
11. Cut Lace Vanity Tray. Yet another adorable storage alternative for nail polishes, lipstick, etc. (we all have trouble keeping track of those things, let’s be honest.)

The more care and thought you put into accessorizing your room, the more it will fit your personality and really start to feel like home. And if something’s not the right color or doesn’t exactly match? Spray paint it! Glue some fabric on it! Get crafty! There are only so many opportunities you get to turn a boring cinderblock room into your very own cozy and colorful space. 

Let me know what some of your most loved dorm decorations are!
