Small additions to your dorm that will make it feel cozy AF

September is finally here, which means school is *almost* in session. For all the incoming freshmen (or sophomore, juniors, seniors, super-seniors, etc.), decorating your dorm room will be one of the first things you do as a college student!

From my experience, most dorm rooms are pretty cold and bland and while some people may view that as design obstacle, we see those basic dorm rooms as a chance to get CREATIVE. If you’re looking for ways to add a touch of coziness to your room, look no further! We picked out a few (affordable!) items that’ll help you transform your dorm from cold to cozy!
