OK, think of your comforter as the main centrepiece of your room! Your dorm room is already pretty small so keep in mind that whatever color or pattern you choose, it will stand out.
A classic white comforter will go with everything in case you want to change your decorations, or if you have a specific color you want to pull through your dorm room decor then incorporate it here!
Next up, throw pillows are one of the most fun (and coziest) ways to show your personality! The best way by far to pull in your accent colors is through pillows.
Either go for a macrame pillow set if you want to give off Cottagecore vibes or a funky 70s flower pillow!

One piece of furniture that elevates any room is a rug! Having a rug almost always makes any space seem more pulled together and complete.

College dorm rooms are TINY!!! So you're going to need to be very intentional with how you organize your space. Even getting organization pieces for small things like make up or shoes will make a big difference, trust me.

Mirrors are a great way to tie in gold accents or introduce some fun shapes into your room! You're going to need to break up the space, and mirrors are a great neutral piece to do this if you don't want to add more wall decorations.
Believe me when I say you're going to need an emotional support blanket waiting for you after a long day of lectures and homework. Choose wisely.
