Start your school year with a wall full of flowers. There is a hint of romance in this college dorm decor. The faux flowers are beautiful and bring so much color to the room. The coral and green are trending colors and are just gorgeous.
Plants and string lights are popular too. It is an easy task to add these two items. And the best part is the plants will bring life to your space and the fairy lights will give it a warm glow.
