Liven up your dorm room — and still live within your budget

PREV | 1 of 10 | NEXT

Dorm-room design doesn't have to mean a huge budget. Add affordable touches like this basic ottoman below the window (Ikea, $19.99), pillows (Ikea and Urban Outfitters, $14.99-$24) and a throw (Ikea, $9.99). Streamline the look with posters matching your color scheme, and jazz it up with a lantern (Urban Outfitters, $10) and holiday lights around the bulletin board.
