School-owned residential halls are notorious for being minimalist, to say the least. A bare room with utilitarian furniture isn’t the cosiest environment for stressful studying and revision – or for socialising with new friends.
What’s more, social media has given us access to much more décor knowledge and inspiration than ever before. When you’ve seen how someone else was able to transform their dorm space, you realise how many possibilities a seemingly plain room offers.

Even though what’s behind you on screen is just a small slice of your room, it makes a big difference in the image you’re presenting and the confidence you feel.
