Buy or DIY: Trendy Dorm Decor

Elevate your drab, dorm bunk bed with this bohemian, hand-dyed pillow cover. Each pillow cover is handcrafted in France with a lightweight linen fabric. The designer dyes each pillowcase with natural indigo to achieve a one-of-a-kind boho finish.

Spend the last few weeks of summer crafting cool custom pillows to enhance your dorm bedding. Our marbled fabric pillow cover project is easy to follow and allows you to achieve a pretty, personalized pillow cover for less than half the cost of typical custom pillow covers.

What dorm-dwelling college student doesn’t need some space-savvy book storage? We’re obsessed with these stylish floating shelves for student living because they instantly free-up floor space and serve as bookshelves or nifty bunk-side nightstands. The shelves are handcrafted in New Jersey with high-quality pine wood and use natural jute rope to create a modern triangular design.

Spend a few hours this weekend creating additional storage for your school supplies or bathroom essentials with our simple rope-suspended shelf project. The space-saving shelving unit calls for a run to your local home improvement store to pick up pine board, rope, carpentry hardware and a few crafting essentials. Use basic tools to create the structure and achieve a personalized look by painting your pine boards to match the rest of your dorm decor.
