Room-Tour-Worthy Dorm Decor You Can Find at Walmart
Affordable and functional items with major personality.
No matter the campus, dorm rooms can be notoriously drab. But if you think of them instead as blank slates, any student can ensure theirs will never, ever be described that way. Imagine decorative throw pillows and a quirky rug that add brightness and personality to the space, for example, or a fluffy comforter in a colorful pattern to make the room more cozy, and stylish storage solutions to add functional yet on-trend elements.
And if you’re wondering how to get all that accomplished on a budget, look to Walmart.com to turn the vision into reality. The retailer is the place to go for affordable and of-the-moment finds that will help make your — or your kid’s — room feel unique and like home. Read on for our picks.

This retro lighting option comes in multiple colors and with its own energy-efficient lightbulb that will last up to 12,000 hours. Plus, the base serves as storage space for small items like nail files, paper clips, earbuds or a go-to lip gloss — and the integrated AC outlet allows for an extra charging station.
Here’s a true piece of functional art: a celestial silhouette that doubles as extra shelf space. At nearly 18 inches tall, it’s big enough to display books, trinkets or a few small plants.
A ’60s-inspired floral-print comforter will add a much-needed jolt of color and liveliness to the most dreary of dorms. This machine-washable set includes a comforter, a pillow sham and coordinating solid ivory sheets.

Simple to install, this 13-foot flexible light strip works with Wi-Fi, no extra equipment needed. Once it’s easily adhered to any surface — ceiling, bookshelves, doorways — it’s controlled by an app to adjust the warm amber light from dim to bright, or to any color in the rainbow.
To make the most of a small space, cute storage bins are key. This funky option doubles as extra seating and is perfect for storing extra bedding, seasonal clothing or textbooks, too.
The perfect item for a change of pace from studying at a desk or for TV binge sessions. The plush, ergonomic design allows for relaxation and comfort, but still offers the support needed to stay alert and focused on work at hand.
This small, cheerful clock will yield smiles and punctuality. The compact timepiece is battery-operated (i.e., no tangled cords), which means it can be placed on a desk, on top of a bookshelf or on a wall shelf as part of the decor.
Pull attention away from a dorm floor’s somber neutral palette with an area rug in a fun pattern. Crafted from ultra-soft faux fur material, this one is designed to withstand daily wear and tear.
