Putting a school dorm room in your own space may seem challenging at first. It’s a place with bare white walls, generic furniture, miniature windows, old carpets — and you’ll be moving out again in 9 months. Nonetheless, it’s also your first home away from home and at which you’re going to be analyzing your bum off, so coming up with decoration that suits your style would be well worth the attempt. Plus it can be quite fun, too.

Here’s a small help for someone led to the dorms who’s also a musician or music fan. Hall mates allowing, there might be a little practicing in here, too, so check out these ideas to help make it an inspirational area:
