First things first — good bedding is essential in any dorm. Getting a good night's sleep is a huge part of doing well in classes and being your best self. Your sheets have a lot to do with that, but they don't need to be basic. This set from California Design is 400 thread count and while there are plenty of neutral colors available, there are also plenty of fun patterns like stripes, floral, plaid, and leopard print.

For a cozy duvet, Bedsure's option is ideal. It's relatively affordable in comparison to other comforter covers and will add a nice pop of texture. To top it all off, you can't go wrong with a few colorful throw pillow covers and a chic (but soft) throw blanket draped over the corner.

One way to really bring some joy into your dorm's cold walls is through plants. Still, caring for plants isn't something a lot of college students have time for. That's where faux plants come in. For the best of both worlds, you can rely on this three-piece eucalyptus set that looks perfect perched on a window sill or desk. As one reviewer wrote: "They are so realistic and well made!"

Aside from getting the design just right, having an organized space is key for staying cool, calm, and collected, even in the midst of finals. The Blu Monaco desk organization set has you covered. Its five pieces keep pens, pencils, and paperwork from invading your space and contribute to an overall neat and tidy appearance in your room.

Having friends drop by to socialize is another dorm life must. While you could watch a few movies or listen to your favorite playlists, a record player is worth considering. Not only is it much more unique than tuning to your laptop or a speaker, but it serves double duty as a piece of decor, especially this vintage-inspired version that comes in 26 colors. Record collecting also becomes something you can easily carry on past your years in a dorm.
