15 Ways to Personalize Your Dorm Room With LED Lighting

Going off to college is a great adventure. From moving to a new city to being on your own to decorating your dorm room, everything is new and exciting. Decorating your dorm room on your own terms is important, as it is going to be the place where you not only sleep, but also study and hang out with your friends. Using LED lights in your dorm room can give you additional light and can add a bit of sparkle and shine to your space. Here are 15 ideas of how you can jazz up your dorm room with LED lighting.

1. LED Light Headboard

There is no need for you to simply go with the headboard that you have. Use curtains and LED lights to customize your own look that will make your bedroom special. Sheer curtains in the color of your choice with clear or white lights can really jazz up your bed.

2. Wrap the Walls

These clear lights arranged at the top of the room near the ceiling give the room an amazing glow and beauty. Combine this with the branches and LED light arrangement and you have a beautiful and cohesive room that shines brightly no matter what time of the year it is.

3. Mini LED Lights Chandelier

This faux chandelier is created using a lamp shade frame and mini LED lights that are wrapped in and around the frame. This can light up a dark corner perfectly and can be a great project to do with your roommate.

4. Colored LED Light Fun

Hang these multi-colored LED lights from side to side in your dorm room and you can add a bit of color to a normally bland room. This is a great choice if you are not allowed to paint your room, as it can give color without compromising the room (and your deposit).

5. Dixie Cup Light Garland

Most college students are on a budget, but this low budget and high impact idea can give your dorm room a beautiful look. Simply find Dixie cups that fit your color desires and use LEDs to turn them into a garland.

Make your bedroom even more beautiful with the addition of the larger patio or party light strings. They offer a big impact that will shine bright and sure no matter where you install them.

9. DIY LED Light Art

This is such a cool project that can be customized to your own style and your own personality. Simply cut out letters from magazines that express your own individuality – Dream Big, Relax, Study, Read, etc. – and then light them up with a frame of mini LED lights.
