Instead they're transforming their miniature domiciles into cozy homes away from home. Before and after photos of spruced-up dorm rooms are pretty astonishing, but at the core of these wow-factor projects is a desire to show off their personality by decorating their dorm room.
Decking out your tiny space with homey touches doesn't have to break the bank and it's actually easier than you may think. One accessory worth spending on that has the ability to transform the whole room? A faux headboard. These styles attach to the wall or simply sit in place, so you don't have to lug a heavy toolbox around on move-in day. Take your twin XL from stiff to snug with our favorite headboards for dorms. They'll instantly create a feeling of comfort in your new home away from home.
