Fall and Halloween are arguably even cozier than Christmas!

Do you live in a college dorm and want to decorate it for Halloween?

I love cozy Halloween decor like pumpkin pillows, string lights, and fall leaf garlands!

Spooky decor isn’t my jam, BUT I got you covered if you want some scary vibes in your dorm.

Decorating your dorm door for Halloween is great if you’re planning a dorm party.

Also, super fun to scare your friends :).

I know the space in your dorm room is limited, but switching out your pillows, a throw, and adding some fall leaf string lights will look so pretty.
