So why stick with the posters and butterfly chairs virtually every college student owns? Since most college students live with at least one roommate, square footage is often at a premium. But just because you’re working with teeny, tiny corners doesn’t mean your dorm room design and organization can’t shine. Not only can the right dorm decor turn even the most questionable quarters into a well-appointed sanctuary, but it can also be a great conversation starter with roommates and prospective friends alike. The catch? Unlike advanced art history and biochemistry, there’s no college course for mastering dorm room decor. Instead, let these six rooms offer a crash course in creating a space that even your prickly roommate likes.
