4 Ways to Brighten up your Dorm Room

1. Hang up Art

Mix and match your favorite art prints to add colorful happiness to dreary dorm walls and make the space feel more like a home. Start with a map print of one of your favorite places and pair it with something bright like flowers or a whimsically painted animal print. While you'll probably throw away a poster at the end of the year, art is an investment you will keep forever.

2. Fill a bulletin board with happy things 

Keep all your favorite photos and notecards displayed on a bulletin board. Greeting cards (which start at $4.50) are a budget friendly way to add pops of color to your space. Plus, they're a great thing to keep on hand to gift to a friend!
