Dorm room decor for springtime that is easy and inexpensive

Start with storage for your dorm decorations

Be sure to grab a flat storage container to put the decor in under a bunk or regular bed. If you only purchase small and flat things, the need for storage is minimal. If your teen drives to school, they can bring one home over holiday break and exchange it out. (This set was also one of the cheapest options, these are more expensive than I thought!)

(For Valentine ideas, check out this post!)

•Start with a light-up spring tree. This will take your teen through Easter, and will easily fit on a small table or shelf to be out of the way. If your teen already has a plant in their room, plant stakes are great! Here are some shamrock stakes. These flower plant stakes are cute. And, how cute are these bunny plant stakes?! (Guessing that only a girl will be doing this!) They just stick into the soil, so they will take up no new space!

•A spring doormat just inside the door will set a fun tone as well. Here are some Easter mats, and here are St. Patrick’s mats.
