The end of summer marks the beginning of a new adventure for many kids – college and university! A dorm room offers the chance for students to claim a space and come into their own, often in limited square footage.
When I had my own dorm room to decorate I made use of my colour printer to create a giant collage. Looking back it was kind of low budget, I wish Posterjack had been around back then!
Posterjack has 5 photo art tips to make the most of the small space.
1. Make it feel bigger with reflections
Metal Prints and Lacquer Frames catch and reflect light which can make a space feel bigger.
2. Make a statement
An oversized Poster makes a statement and also creates a focal point, tricking the eye into thinking the room is bigger than it is.
3. Create continuity
Use a collection of Canvas Prints that have the same soft colours and are the same size for a natural flow throughout the room.
4. Add personality without the paint
Create a great accent wall without the paint or damage with Peel & Sticks.
5. Inspiration boards
Create a collage of all the people, places and things that inspire you – perfect for above a desk or workspace.
Decorating a dorm with photo art from Posterjack is as easy as 1,2,3:
1. Upload a photo
2. Select your print and size
3. Sit back as Posterjack delivers right to your door
While my girls are years away from needing to make a dorm room their own, we still love to use Posterjack to help with decorating their rooms with quality prints.
I recently ordered a set of gorgeous framed prints for Keira’s room to fit in with her Winnie the Pooh theme but with a bit of a more grown up feel. They might end up in a dorm room one day too, who knows!
How did you add personality to your dorm room?

I'm going to check out their peel and sticks. Our walls could use some pizzazz!

I purchased a lot of posters when I was in university.
