Cheap Ways To Make Your Dorm Room Feel More Like Home

I'm all moved into college this week and have found many things that have been so great for my dorm and help make it feel like home. Lets be honest, dorm rooms can often be bland, stuffy, and sometimes even depressing. This week I have found several easy, cheap ways to make my dorm room feel more like home.

1) Candles or wall plugs- Candles are a great way to make your room feel more cozy and since often the air in dorms is recycled air so sometimes it doesn't smell that great so candles are cute and relaxing. Yet most dorms don't allow candles so wall plugs are a safe way to achieve the same thing. Target has a great selection of both wall plugs and candles. My favorite candle from Target right now is this tulip candle, but all the Signature Soy candles have amazing scents, cute packaging, and are all ten or five dollars.

2) Fresh Flowers- I always like to keep a bouquet of fresh flowers in my dorm room. I know this sounds pricey, but I buy most of my flowers at Wegmans and I bought these sunflowers at Wegmans for only $5! I even bought the vase there for less than $10 and love how it looks on my desk. Flowers can get pricey so I try to stay away from the flowers that come in their own vases and the large bouquets that have many different types of flowers.





3) Frames- Putting your pictures, posters, and prints in frames can make your room look so much more put together. I bought these fun watercolor flower prints on amazon for only $15 for the pack of three. I found the frames in a pack of six on amazon for $30 and they are pretty great quality. They are easy to hang up with either command strips or push pins, make sure to check what your dorm allows.
