Fun Neon Signs

@halleblu1

Neon signs are a major trend for ‘Bama rush 2022 dorm decor, and these TikToks by @francescamartinn and @halleblu1 show a few different ways to display them. They’re a fun way to express your style while also setting the mood with some cool lighting, and they’re usually not too expensive. You can find a bunch on Amazon. Get one made custom to your and your roommate’s names to hang above your beds, or you can get them in cute phrases or shapes to sprinkle across your space, like a trendy butterfly or “xoxo.”

Clever Fridge Cabinet

A mini fridge can totally throw off your decor’s vibe and take up precious space in your dorm room. You can hide your refrigerator with a stylish mini fridge cabinet that instantly turns it into a bedside table, popularized by home and ‘Bama dorm designer @afterfivedesigns on Instagram. No one will be able to tell there’s a fridge in there, and it’s a great top surface for food storage, to prop a mirror, or place a statement lamp.

Monogram Accessories

Monograms can be so chic and functional in a dorm setting because they’ll help you and your roommate be able to tell your things apart. Whether you slap your three letters on a pillowcase like @maggie.claire.thomas shows in her dorm tour on TikTok, or a mug, tote bag, or throw blanket, you’ll definitely be on-trend for ‘Bama rush 2022 dorm essentials.

A Princess Headboard

To get the full #BamaRush decor effect, you have to have a long, glamorous headboard to frame your dorm bed as seen in @kmacmurphy1’s TikTok. Keep in mind the trending style includes lifting your dorm bed on risers so it sits much higher than normal (which gives you a ton of bonus storage space underneath). You can find plenty of princess-worthy dorm headboards on sites like dormify.com.

Poof Ottoman

@lainemartin_

The towering “Bama bed” definitely requires a stepping stool, which is why poofs or small ottomans are a must. Whether you go for one that’s fuzzy or faux leather, it’ll definitely come in handy when you’re climbing into bed or need extra seating for when your sorority sisters stop by. @lainemartin_ on TikTok shared her new room tour, including where to find her favorite poof on Amazon.

Fluffy, Furry Rug

Adding a furry rug, like this Amazon one, to your small but stylish space adds an element of texture that also makes the room more comfortable. You’ll appreciate it when you have to wake up super early and your feet go directly to the soft surface instead of the cold floor. It’ll also make for a fluffy spot to bond with your sisters over a card game or spa night. Fur rugs are a “bingo” space in @sockbunstudios’s ultimate #RushTok dorm checklist. While they're so in right now for ‘Bama dorms, something so cozy should honestly never go out of style.

Colorful Art

Add some color to your drab dorm walls with statement art you can see in tons of ‘Bama rush dorm tours. Right now, graphic shapes like lips and butterflies are trending for art prints, as well as spray paint and gradient paintings. Whether you put up graphic prints like @emerymitchell, shop trendy dorm decor art online, or DIY popular painting styles like @mvpaintings and @quueensophia TikToks, any touch of color will add amazing energy to your space. You can even order ‘Bama-themed prints to frame, thanks to inspiration from @emmauhry on TikTok.

Tall Statement Lamps

@gracynedmondsonnn

Tall statement lamps on your and your roommate's bedside tables, like in this dorm tour from @gracynedmondsonnn on TikTok, create a sense of symmetry for your room design and a luxe touch. Adding a lamp will make your space feel homier and you can even use an LED color lightbulb if you really want to set the vibe. You can find some good options at any home decor store or this one from Amazon.

Light Up Vanity Mirror

@greer.townsend

A major dorm essential is a good mirror you can use for skincare, makeup, and all kinds of self-care. ‘Bama Rush dorms always have a light-up mirror set up on the desk, like how @greer.townsend has it set up in her TikTok. You can treat yourself to a shiny vanity table with built-in makeup lights or order a tabletop mirror with mini bulbs. Obviously, you’re going to need a good mirror to glam in before all those rush events.

White Drawer Organizers

@francescamartinn

White drawer sets like the popular Ikea Alex Drawer Unit are definitely a favorite among ‘Bama babes like @francescamartinn. They give you so much compact storage while still looking like a cute furniture piece. You can organize anything you want in these, from clothing to shoes, makeup, or tech. It’ll also give you another surface to store your pretty items on top, like jewelry or perfume.
