Hey you, yes you! Take a look around your dorm. See that empty white wall? That’s about to change—hear me out. Your dorm isn’t a bland doctor’s office; it becomes a home–away–from–home during the school year, and it should feel like one. While it’s easy to shoot for practicality rather than aesthetic appeal when deciding how to decorate (especially when we’re expected to fit our whole lives into a room the size of a shoebox), utilizing the space as a means for artistic expression and style is the perfect way to make a dorm room feel like your own. Unique, affordable art pieces can spice up your room and take it from basic to sophisticated with minimal effort. Let’s move beyond Dormify and Urban Outfitters art, because everyone you know (and their cousin, best friend, and sister) has the same pieces from these sites. Read on to find out the best outlets for dorm art that will fool your friends into thinking your room is a snazzy city gallery.
