DEC MY DORM
Having a cozy and welcoming dorm space is invaluable. The Dec My Dorm Team is excited to help transform your space into a personal haven just for you. It should feel like “home,” filled with your favorite colors, appliances like a microwave and refrigerator, inspiring wall art, artwork, cozy bedding (such as a comforter, bed cover, padding, throw blanket, pillows, and throw pillows), desk accessories, lamps, and many more personal touches. We want you to feel like you belong, be ready to learn, and be prepared to make a positive impact as you progress in your educational journey. We put together a simple design for your dorm that is comfortable, welcoming, and set up for success — and the best part is, it won’t cost you anything. Our goal is to help make things a little easier on parents and scholars alike so everyone can focus more on the scholar’s exciting new chapter.
