I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but summer is coming to a close.

That means we've officially entered back-to-school season, which for many can mean moving into a college dorm.

Of course, being a college student is expensive, so finding affordable decor is a must. Luckily there are plenty of ways you can make your small space stylish and cozy for less!

If you're looking for budget-friendly dorm room ideas, you've come to the right place. Our team of shopping editors found the best affordable dorm room decorations that they wish they had in their college dorm.

The best part is that these picks are all under $100, because your budget is better spent on late-night snacks and study session coffees.

In addition to dorm room essentials such as comfy mattress toppers or shower caddies, you'll want some cute (and affordable) decor to make the space somewhere you actually want to hang out. You'll be there a lot, after all.

The easiest (and oldest) trick in the book is to add a few posters – we found sets of three with trendy designs that you can mix and match to curate your perfect vibe.

Never underestimate the power of a pop color on your bed, whether it's from duvet covers, patterned pillows, or a warm throw blanket. And no dorm room is ever complete without some customizable LED lamp or pretty fairy lights.

If it's your first year of college or your last, you deserve to have a space that feels like home, and you deserve to get it at an affordable price.
