Dorm Vibes: Back-to-Campus Dorm Room Inspiration

It's that time of year once more...back to school & the start of college. Decorating your dorm room is a right of passage for any student & certainly one of the most fun things about going away to school.

Last fall, I wrote a lot of dorm decor articles for Teen Vogue. What was interesting about these features is that I interviewed freshman across the USA attending small & big schools such as Boston College, Yale, Mercy Hurst, & so on. 

Each student gave photos, decorating tips, and where they bought their dorm decor at. I thought I would link all of my favorite interviews/ dorm-features below for any freshman or college student looking for decorating ideas & where to buy their decor at! Also, the girls talk about their majors & how they chose their roommates!

Also, if you are a college freshman & have any questions about where to shop & what to bring feel free to email me at helloyellowspecs@gmail.com as I'm pretty well-versed in college decor--hahaha!

- 'Book Lover's Dorm Decor at Washington & Lee University' 

This room gave me major Harry Potter & warm vintage vibes--I love her window in her room, but those seeking an old-world cool aesthetic look here! 

-'Dorm Decor at University of Mississippi'

This dorm has luxe and cozy vibes with their gold accents & faux fur ottomans & blankets.

-'DIY Dorm Decor at the University of North Carolina'

Hands down, one of my favorites. This girl & her family went all out with dalmatian temp wallpaper & DIY drapes. Check-it-out!

-'Nautical Theme Dorm Decor'

So, this is Abby's room from the blog, Belle of the Ball 45. Obviously, it's preppy & adorable. I love her navy & yellow color scheme.

-'Texas State University Dorm Decor Transformation' 

The before & after pertaining to this room is unbelievable! The girls & their moms' did an amazing job. My favorite part about their decorating technique was that they used marble contact paper on their desks & dresser tops--totally gave it a whole new look!
