Let’s be real. The main reason we go to college might be to get that precious degree, but once all’s said and done, the only thing we’ll remember is the fun times we had with the friends we made along the way. Moving out to go to college is a rite of passage for most people, and we end up living in dorm rooms for a few years with a couple of roommates who may very well turn out to be some of our best friends in life.
Your dorm room is a special place because it is going to be your main pad for a few years. The place where all the parties and sleepless nights happen. The place where lifelong friendships are made. That’s why every college student’s dorm room must look and feel like home. Here are some college dorm essentials that can not only give you that homey touch but also look good enough to appear in one of those Pinterest posts.
Dorm Room Essentials For Your “Insta-Worthy” Decor
From canvas prints and wooden frames to tumbler cups and custom pillows, here are some of Photobook America’s best college dorm essentials for you.
Canvas prints are the quintessential decor piece of any fashionable home. Incredibly lightweight and versatile, these prints can come in any size and can be put up in a myriad of different creative ways. You can put these on a wall rack, your table or hung above your bed. Either way, canvas prints are all the rage today and you can print yours with your favorite photos of people you love, a quote that resonates with you, or even an art piece of your own design.
No room is complete without posters of your favorite pop culture icons. With a Photo Poster, give your dorm room a vintage aesthetic that brings a certain nostalgic vibrancy to the overall atmosphere. Personalize your photo poster with any character or personal photo that you like.
Miss your family and friends back home? Bring them along with you in the form of a prized keepsake photo that you can keep in custom Wooden Floating Frames. These modern floating frames are engineered to give your photo a sense of ‘suspension’ that is far more aesthetically pleasing to look at than traditional frames. Lay it on your study desk to complete the room decor.
Don’t fancy empty walls? Fill them up with a Wall Collage of memories, photos or art that means a lot to you. Curate your own dorm room gallery and arrange a wall collage as creatively as you possibly can. You could even try out unique Origami Tiles for a more unorthodox arrangement.
Mark down important dates like assignment deadlines or monthly parties with your own Wall Calendar so you’ll never miss a moment of your crazy college life (it passes quicker than you can imagine). Personalize your college dorm wall calendar with your favorite photos or messages and select different layouts to match your taste.
College Dorm Essentials For You To Use
You don’t want to show up late for any important classes! With your own personalized Clock, keep track of each day to ensure that nothing is amiss. These modern clocks are not only an aesthetic *chef’s kiss*, but different in the sense that the sleek gloss aluminum timepieces are paper thin and not clunky like traditional wall clocks.
College isn’t college without the ridiculous yet necessary (over)consumption of caffeinated drinks. Bring your favorite beverage everywhere with Tumbler Cups that can preserve the drink’s freshness and temperature for as long as 8 hours! These stainless steel tumbler cups can store up to 16oz. of joe that you can either drink as you work in your dorm, or carry to-go when you’re late for class.
Make movie nights warm and cuddly when you snuggle up in your very own custom Blanket. This fleece blanket is comfy and will keep you warm during the coldest nights. Personalize it with your favorite photos and do all sorts of things with it. Make it a prop for your dorm room photoshoot, share it with that cutie from across the hall, go nuts, whatever.
Experiencing writer’s block and the report is due tomorrow? Sometimes, college stress makes us want to just bury our heads in a pillow and scream our lungs out until it all goes away. With a Custom Pillow from Photobook, scream out your frustrations and spark your creative energy by personalizing it with your favorite photos and art designs. Get one that you can cuddle with or get a set of em to fill up your bed.
