Your college dorm room might be the first room you actually get full say on theme and decor. It's super exciting expressing yourself through colors, artwork, and trinkets. If you need a little inspiration on your soon to be college dorm decor, we think you might find how you want your room to look and feel here.

College Dorm Decor ideas using bright color, monogram, Lilly Pulitzer, flowers on the wall, pillows with tassels, pictures on the wall.

Today we're talking about girly girl rooms, specifically in college. Finding a theme you want for your room is something that has to be decided first. College dorm decor can be inspired by a comforter or a piece of artwork and it can build from there!

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.

This look caught our eye and reminded us of the hanging flower meadow post we did earlier this year! Adding flowers can add life to a stale dorm room.
