College is a big deal! In fact, I don’t think we can overstate the significance of this phase of any young adult’s life.
This is when we finally get to spread our wings and cultivate an identity beyond the environment we’ve known for most of our lives.
While we’ll face many challenges during this period (assignments, assignments, and more assignments) I believe having a comfortable and stylish living environment is important for your overall well-being at your new home away from home.
And guys are just as capable of appreciating that as anyone else.
From wall art to throw pillows, this post features:
5 great dorm room ideas for college guys…
Put your bed to use…
When you’re in a 130-square-foot dorm room, you’ll want to carve out every extra inch of space you can get! This includes the space under your bed.
Slightly raise your bed, add some cube storage, and voila! You have more space to put your stuff and your room doesn’t feel like such a tight fit anymore.
Get Furniture with extra storage features
Dorm rooms are really tiny, so furniture that allows you to maximize your space is a blessing! Folding Storage ottomans and nightstands are really great options for dorm rooms of any kind!
Use Records as wall art
Aesthetics are not for girls alone. If you know you have good taste why not show it off? Pop a few of your favorite Hip-hop or R&B albums on your wall and be one step closer to having a completely personalized space!
Try the Acubi Aesthetic
The Acubi aesthetic is a style influenced by modern Y2K fashion and minimalism and I am absolutely in love with it! If you’re into that ‘effortlessly trendy’ look, this is something I recommend you try.
Black and white Aesthetic tech setup
Gamer boy or not, you have to admit that aesthetic gaming setups are killer! If you’re more into the modern, futuristic look then this is definitely something you should consider. I personally love this setup because it’s clean and is just really easy on the eyes.
And who knows? This could be the perfect background to that Fortnite cosplay you’ve been planning…
And there you have it. Your room is your own little space in your home away from home and your ultimate goal should be to make it as comfortable as possible. Hopefully, this post was helpful and at least gave you a place to start. Happy decorating!
