I’m never embarrassed to admit that 13 Going on 30 is one of my favorite movies. After all, who doesn’t love a feel-good flick that proves love is timeless? Jenna is a complete product of the ’80s, which is obvious when you take a look at her infamous “Thriller” outfit. Her colorful flair can also be seen in how she decorates her space, even in adulthood.

The set designer did a great job weaving Jenna’s spunky personality into the places she visits, and the movie serves as stylish inspiration for dorm decoration. Here are a few decor ideas based on 13 Going on 30:

Jenna’s Collages

The first time I watched 13 Going on 30, I thought it was adorable that Jenna had all these pictures and magazine tear-outs taped to her mirror. It’s fun and adds a scrapbook-y feeling to any room.

In her office (right), it looks like Jenna hasn’t changed and still posts her favorite pages and pictures. This is such an easy way to add some personality to a college apartment – treat it as a mood board and pick images that you find inspiring.

It’s also a bit hard to see, but in 13-year-old Jenna’s room (left), she has butterfly cutouts on the edge of her board. I thought these were super-cute and have always wanted to try something similar, but with elephants. Check out your local scrapbook store for die-cuts, or simply print out a template and cut out your own.

Jenna’s Patterned Pillows and Rug

I love this decor so much, because I think it really reflects Jenna. Everything she owns is bright and peppy, much like the festive polka dots pictured above. If you have a signature color or favorite print (mine is stripes), try to coordinate and spruce up your space with pillows or a fun rug.
