In college, there's one place where you'll likely be spending most of your time, and no, it's not the the library; it's your dorm room.

That's why it's worth it to turn your room into a space that you actually want to live in. Sure, it's likely a small space, but with the right accessories, you can make it feel like home sweet home!

Since you'll be busy gathering all of your dorm room essentials, our shopping experts have rounded up the best (and most stylish) decor that will completely transform your dorm room for under $200.

And since we know college students are always trying to save, we've included some under $100 finds, starting at just $11, so you'll be sure to find something no matter your budget.

And if you're not in a dorm room this year, you'll still love how these stylish decor picks look in your apartment.

Want to add a quick pop of color? Nothing brings a room together quite like a pretty area rug or runner. 

Another easy way to upgrade your room is by adding some lamps. We found a cool one with customizable LED lights for the ultimate vibes.

If you do have space to spare, a tufted ottoman provides extra seating, while a floating shelf will not only look good but provide extra storage for all of your things.

You can also never go wrong with a throw blanket, which will keep you cozy and add color and texture to your bed, futon, or desk chair.

Whatever your style and whatever your budget, you'll love these dorm room decor picks that are all under $200.
