As we get further into the summer, it's time to start thinking about moving into college. For some, it might only be a month away, and for others, it may be more like a month and a half!

If you're looking for some design inspo, you have come to the right place!

Part of being comfortable in your new home at college (yes, we are talking about that cramped dorm room you'll be sharing with a roommate or two!), is making sure you enjoy your environment. For some, that doesn't take much - an old blanket and a bean bag - while other students require a little more nurturing.

We've put together five themes with budget-friendly dorm room items to keep you feeling stylish and happy next fall.
