Dorm room wall decorations
Posters, pictures, and tapestries all fit in this category. Posters are very common and a way college students express themselves in their dorm room. Decorations such as pictures typically consist of a large collage of high school friends, prom pictures, and other friends. Try not to have this take up large sections of your dorm room because they tend to not look nice. A few framed pictures here and there are all you really need. Tapestries are a cheap way to cover a big wall, and make the room feel less like an insane asylum.
