As the time comes to leave your childhood bedroom and move into your first college dorm room, you’ll notice that things look very different.

Everything’s so…plain.

College dorm rooms don’t come with a personality, they are a blank slate for you to make it your own. You’re going to be spending a lot of time in your dorm studying, hanging out with friends, more studying, sleeping, decompressing after a long day, and probably more studying. So it’s important to make a space that’s comfy and brings you joy, especially your bedspread as that will be the main “feature” of the whole dorm.

Today we’re going to be discussing all things twin XL bedding picks, from products you can buy yourself to design ideas from Dormify that you can take inspiration from for your own dorm room! 

An Awesome Array Of Aesthetics To Choose From

There’s lots to see, so let’s get started with a few different “looks” you can take some aspects from…

Your dorm room is going to essentially be your “main hub” for at least the next year, that’s a lot of time! So having a place to come back to that lets you feel like your home can help alleviate any of those college stressors coming your way. 

A Soft Look To Come Back To

If you’re looking for a “soft” look then the aptly named “Soft Girl Room” look on Dormify makes for a great starter pack. Muted pinks, whites & off whites, and splashes of darker colors throughout the room to make certain things pop can really make the room have this “dreamy” quality to it.

The comforter from the picture is currently unavailable but the Twin XL bedding set is available! The Rowan Super Soft T-Shirt Jersey Sheet Set- ($39) comes in Blush Pink, Lavender, Sky Blue, Charcoal Grey, Navy Blue, White, and Light Grey. 

And if you’re looking to grab a few other items from this room model they also have the Sherpa and Fleece Throw Blanket- ($39) which comes in the Blush Pink, the Sutton Charging 3-Drawer Cart on Wheels- ($159) which comes in White, White/Grey, Camel, Grey, and Navy Blue, the funky Lola Medium Ripple Mirror r- ($79) which comes in White, and the Smiley Neon Sign- ($59) which comes in that cool blue are all in stock right now.

A simple and relaxing room style with plenty of space to add your own stuff to make it more your own.

For Those Late Night Study Sessions

In the last room we had more light tones while in this room called “Olive You Room” features more neutral tones that all come together for a nice clean look. Simple greys, whites, and greens can really help with stress as cool colors are really calming. 

The Twin XL bedding set from the “Olive Your Room” is currently available and is the same set that was used in the “Soft Girl Room” look from before. The Rowan Super Soft T-Shirt Jersey Sheet Set- ($39) ensures a perfect fit with the elastic band that comes with this set. And the Twin/Twin XL Devon Washed Cotton Comforter and Sham Set- ($129) comes in Olive Green and Blush Pink.

Also available from the picture is the Brooklyn Embroidered Woven Tassel Square Pillow Cover- ($29) which can add a cool pattern to the bed set. The Melody Tufted Cushioned Headboard- ($145) is a bestseller and makes any room look a little more “fancy” than your average dorm room, this comes in White, Sky Blue, Blush Pink, Medium Grey (which is the color in the picture above), Black, Navy Blue, Hot Pink, patterned, and Burnt Orange. 

If you aren’t big on bright colors, then this room aesthetic might just be the one to draw inspo from!

Feel Cool In This Neon-Lite Room

The “Y2K Babe Room” is all about bright and bold colors which is exactly what a plain dorm room needs. Bright neon string lights, funky pillows, maybe a lava lamp, or big posters to fill up your wall space, all of these things can really make coming back to your room to study not too bad.

The Juliette Eyelash Fringe Comforter and Sham Set- ($149) is the set in the “Y2K Babe Room” and it is currently available in Twin/Twin XL in White, Medium Grey, Light Natural, and Sky Blue. And the Avery Classic Cotton Sheet Set which also comes in Twin/Twin XL has White, Pink, Medium Grey, and Blue color options is also available. 

A lot of the pillows in the room are out of stock currently but make sure to check back in to see when they come back. They do have the posters on the wall in stock though, so if the pink On Brand Print By Creative Jawns- ($19), the blue Fashion Icons Print by Creative Jawns- ($19), or the purple Stay in your Magic Print by Creative Jawns- ($19) piques your interest they are all ready to be ordered! The Wave Pattern Woven Throw Blanket- ($69) which comes in Lavender can add some funky fun vibes to the room too.

Be One With Nature

If you’re big into nature and love all things green then the “Organic Only Room” is going to be your new favorite look. Plants- real and fake scattered throughout the dorm- can really bring some life to an otherwise drabby looking space. Simple yet unique shelving units and hanging tapestries can really change the dorm design game.

In the “Organic Room Only” room design they feature the Twin/Twin XL Devon Washed Cotton Comforter and Sham Set- ($129) which comes in Olive Green and Blush Pink. 

If you really like some of the products in the picture, Dormify currently has the Faux Plants in Watering Cans, Set of 2- ($35), the Moon 3-Tier Wall Shelf- ($99), the Iris Tonal Fringe Throw Blanket- ($59) which comes in Ivory or Sage Green, the Garden Snake Square Pillow- ($59), the Extra Long Dorm Bed Skirt- ($85) which comes in White, Medium Grey, Blush Pink, and Sky Blue, the Remi Adjustable Desk Lamp- ($55) which comes in Sage Green and White, and the Paige 4-Drawer Storage Cart on Wheels- ($149) which comes in a simple White finish or Grey Mirror are all in stock.
