If you’re like many other undergrads out there who enter university #poor and #broke but still fortunate enough to land a room in one of the halls or residences, this is a how-to-decorate-your-dorm guide you should definitely bookmark (along with your class timetable). Here are 29 super useful and adorable things priced under $10 that will make your dorm a little more like home :’)
- Of course, Fairy Lights ($4.90), so that you can drape it over everything and anything.
- Add on these Cotton Ball Globe Lights ($3.39) that will make your room a hundred times prettier and cuter.
- An adorable Mini Humidifier ($9.80) that’s not only a humidifier but also a mini fan that might come in useful when your room doesn’t hair air conditioner or when it breaks down.
- Alternatively, you can get a larger Humidifier ($6.20) that can not only humidify the air in the room but also change colour, serving as an excellent room decoration piece.
- Live out your unicorn dreams with this Unicorn Lamp ($3.39) that comes in six different colours.

- Grab a few Yankee Candles ($4.90) to make your room smell like Crisp Morning Air on Mondays, Salted Caramel on Tuesdays and Sparkling Cinnamon on the rest of the days.
