All the Dreamy Dorm Decor You Need to Make College Feel Like Home

Here at Apartment Therapy University, we can’t help you pass Organic Chemistry or tell you how to find the student union, but we can help you design the coolest collegiate space around. Whether you’re living the dorm life or moving into your first off-campus apartment, having a comfortable, stylish home base will inspire you all semester long.

From the coziest bedding to the trendiest decor — plus all your everyday essentials — Bed Bath & Beyond® will have your new digs ready to go in a single shopping trip. And there’s something that suits every style. Inspired by sunny days and sweet shades of pink, we created this shoppable mood board for those who take a fun and free-spirited approach to decorating. Shop your faves below and make this school year the best one yet.

After a long day in class, coming home should make you smile — and it’s often the little touches that do the trick. Like these Simply Essential cheerful twinkle lights with clips for displaying your favorite photos, and a cozy UGG lap pouf to make homework more bearable. Plus, early morning classes are a little easier to handle with a Zadro vanity mirror that doubles as a cute accessory tray.

A snuggle-worthy spot for sleeping is always important, but especially when the occasional all-nighter is involved. Set a good foundation with supportive pillows. Then create a serene scene with soft Simply Essential sheets in an earthy neutral and this touchable, textured UGG comforter set in a soft and soothing pink. It’s reversible, so you can swap out your look on laundry day.

Use the Bed Bath & Beyond 3D design tool to get inspiration and see how these items and more would look in your space. You can even share designs with your friends and roommates! Then pick up everything you need for the chicest semester ever.
