Welcome (almost) back to school, everybody! College for most of the country starts on Monday, which means that now is probably right around the time that you’re moving into your brand new dorm or apartment. 

I’ve gone through three apartments during my time in college, so I know just how obnoxious moving is – and how depressing it is when you step into the version of the perfectly-furnished room you toured three months ago and see how much it looks like a prison cell when it’s undecorated. 

We’ve covered a lot of ways to decorate your dorm in order to limit the prison cell-ness, but it came to our attention that we seem to have missed one of the best aesthetics ever: geek chic dorm decor! 

Here at CF we’re all about showing off your fandom through your clothes (have you seen our Geek Chic section?), but why not expand that to your room?

Fandom furnishings serve the duel purpose of a) making your room more visually pleasant and b) surrounding an unfamiliar new home with things that make you happy and comfortable.

There is a virtually unlimited number of geeky fandoms out there, so there is a virtually unlimited number of ways that you can decorate your room. To narrow it down, I’m showcasing some of my favorite home decor products from some of the most universally popular fandoms out there. Let’s get decorating!
