Add Character to Your Room With a College Dorm Headboard

Dorm rooms and their associated college-issued furniture tend to be a bit short on style, so most students will want to add a little charm and personality to make their new living quarters feel a bit more like home. Adding a college dorm headboard to the bed is a great way to instantly elevate the room and make it feel more welcoming. Since it doesn't require a full bed frame, a college dorm headboard is the perfect choice for a small space.

The Details

The dorm headboards in the Pottery Barn Teen collection come in a range of styles, colors and dimensions, so you'll have no problem finding the perfect option for putting your stamp on your dorm room. Many of the available options have USB ports so that you can keep all of your devices charged in style. Read on for a bit more about a few of your choices.

Complete the Look

If you're looking for other ways to add a personal touch to your dorm room, Pottery Barn Teen has you covered. Their collection of No Nails Decor includes tons of stylish options for spicing up your walls with photo rails, pinboards, LED lights and more, all of which can be hung with 3M tape or Velcro. Removable wallpaper and decals are another great temporary design solution that won't get you into trouble with the RA. Finally, don't forget that most dorm beds are a full five inches longer than a standard twin, so you'll want to make sure that you've got a great set of twin XL bedding to go with that statement-making headboard.
