My walls at home have seen a lot of art, from J14 posters of Hannah Montana to Twilight movie posters, to my own art from high school and random world maps I’ve acquired. Nothing ever had a theme, but every piece displayed an aspect of who I was and where I was at in my life. I was a little more deliberate with what pieces I chose when I went off to college. Finding art can be hard, especially pieces that work together cohesively.

Need some college dorm wall art inspiration? Here is a quick roundup of unique wall art ideas and where you can look to find pieces for your own designs.

1. Removable Wallpaper

Removable wallpaper is a way to create an entirely new look for your dorm in one second. Removable wallpaper is something we rarely think of, but it can be a way to transform the look of your room and play into your room’s theme. Or you can go neutral — this polka dot wallpaper from Target could go with a million different room vibes. While not “art” per se, removable wallpaper is a way to make your room stand out among the hundreds of other standard issue rooms. (Just be sure to check with your school to make sure they don’t have a rule against it!)

Neon lights and signs are an incredibly cool and on-trend way to make your college dorm room stand out, especially when accompanied by other lights or as the centerpiece mixed in with some cool photographs. Neon signs also don’t have to break the bank, as smaller pieces are available for girls on a budget. Here are a bunch of neon signs, many for under $50, available to buy on Amazon and ship to your door!
