It's about that time already where you start planning or thinking about your room/dorm for next year! Many of you are probably reading this thinking "um..no, it's only July are you crazy?" The answer is yes. I love, love, love, decorating my room I and I do it throughout the year. Over my past four year in college I have learned a lot... not from academics, but about where to find good, cheap items, knowing what is necessary or just slightly ridiculous. Remember this is not your 'first home' this is not an HGTV remodel. More than likely you're in a pretty sh!tty apartment and have very limited space.
Art is my number one priority when it comes to decorating. For me, the more the merrier. This is the one time you can crowd the walls with framed or unframed art, post cards, pictures, etc. You're a college student, not a homeowner. Society 6 is my favorite place for art prints. I have found (and sold!) some amazing prints there and the prices are not bad. Why not help a struggling artist out? Unframed art can look really cool especially if you're in college, I'm particularly referring to that dorm room in 22 Jump Street:

When I was a freshman/sophomore Pinterest was HUGE, DIY canvases were even bigger. However, most of the time they suck, lets be honest. Try fooling around with photoshop or illustrator -free trials available- to see what you come up with. Not all of us are painters, especially me!
The best art is the ones you have collected, I taped up all my post cards from studying abroad, and framed a lot of cool art prints I found on the street. But if you don't have a fabulous life like me (major joke), buying is the first way to go,
unfortunately. I have got to say the best purchase from Society 6 I have made was when my roommate and I were not necessarily sober, and purchased this beauty which hung over our living room for 2 years.

Society 6 art is amazing and you can find the perfect pieces for your room on this website, I am serious theres some crazy stuff on here.
 This Magic Moment by Jared Yamahata  California by Fimbis  IFHY (Tyler the creator) by ARTEATCHOKE  FLOAT by Beth Heckel |  The Life Aquatic by Wharton  PINEAPPLE by Basilique  French Poppa by Chris Piascik |
Rifle Paper Company is another one of my favorites. A little more on the expensive side, but you really don't need to fill up your shopping cart like I do every time I am on their website. This is my favorite piece that I own, they have tons of cities and are great ways to add color to your room.
I mean come on, how cute are these?!
