We know that when you’re living in a small dorm room, your bed is everything. Your bed is not just the focal point of your room, it’s your homework space, sleeping spot and where your friends flop down for a visit. You want your dorm room bedding to reflect who you are while also setting the style for your space, especially if you’re sharing with a roommate.

We found bedding ideas for the most popular dorm room styles. When you go strong with your bedding decor, it sets the tone for the rest of the room. Add hot trends like macramé, mixed metals and fluffy accessories to customize your room. Here are 20 bedding sets in styles that we love right now:

Your dorm room bedding: boho style 

We love the vibrant colors and patterns of boho style. This is a look that is still going strong. Your boho style dorm room bedding can create a comfortable vibe that feels like home whenever you walk in. Don’t be afraid to mix and match colors and accessories with your boho bedding.

Colorful dorm room bedding

We love waking up to a cheerful and bright space. These colorful dorm room bedding sets are an energy boost for the mornings you’d rather hit the snooze on your phone. If you love the bright colors but don’t want to go overboard, pair your colorful bedding with natural accents like plants and handcrafted art.

Get comfy

Your dorm room will be your retreat, so it’s important to make it feel comfortable. Just because you’re decorating for comfort doesn’t mean your dorm room bedding will be boring. When you’re shopping for comfortable bedding, focus on how the fabric feels. Our favorite comfortable dorm room bedding feels great in fabrics like jersey or 100 percent cotton, plus they’re also absolutely gorgeous. You don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort.

Choosing simpler bedding gives you so many options for artwork and accessories that you can decorate in any style you choose, and then change your mind next semester.

KALLAX desk ideas: Three ways to set up a workstation

Three great ideas for a KALLAX desk . #1 Compact, minimalist desk for laptop I put together a KALLAX desk for my laptop for just under 25 euros. Just a KALLAX 2×2 is needed.

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
