Dorm Aesthetics: Decorate Intuitively, Style Creatively, Live Comfortably in Your Dorm

At Dorm Aesthetics, our mission is simple: to empower college students with the knowledge and confidence to decorate intuitively, style creatively, and live comfortably in their dorm rooms. We believe that a great dorm room starts not with expensive furniture but with understanding the fundamentals—the elements that make small spaces functional and personal style shine. Whether you’re maximizing storage, creating a cozy study nook, adding pops of color, or DIY-ing on a budget, we’ll guide you through the “why” as much as the “how-to.”

Our Story

This dorm decor dream was brought to life by two former dorm-dwelling experts, Liam Chen and Olivia Rodriguez, whose years of navigating tiny spaces and shared dorm rooms have been shaped by their shared philosophy: dorm decorating should be both fun and resourceful. After graduating and moving into larger apartments, they found themselves reigniting their knack for dorm room design—and decided to share it with others who crave a stylish and functional space to call home away from home.

Liam brings his minimalist aesthetic and a focus on functionality to Dorm Aesthetics, while Olivia infuses her love for bohemian vibes and budget-friendly DIYs into every decor tip and room tour. Together, they’ve explored dorm rooms and small spaces everywhere (both literally and virtually) to curate a collection of decor ideas and strategies that span styles, budgets, and space constraints—all united by timeless principles of smart and stylish dorm living.
