Paris. A city of romance, fashion, and so much class. If you’re a Francophile, you’ve probably dreamed of the day that you’ll get to traipse around the streets of Paris, to enjoy a crepe or snack on a baguette, to peruse the clothing in a hole-in-the-wall vintage shop. Until that day, though, you’re going to be studying hard as you work your way through school. So, why not design a Paris-themed dorm room for yourself to remind you of all you have to look forward to?

Here are 7 ways to turn your dorm room into a Parisian paradise:

‍

1. Classic, Ruffled Bedding

Pink is a hallmark of the fashion in Paris. If you want to give your room a nice, Parisian statement but are a bit reluctant to go for a bolder hot pink color, this more subdued pink quilt with bold ruffles might be the perfect option for you. Parisians are big on the finer details of their style, and the ruffles on this bedding will add some texture to your dorm room. You can’t beat something that is both comfy and stylish - and this bedding is exactly that. Dress up your Paris dorm room with this pink delicacy.

This bedding is elegant and feminine in a way that you can only really relate to Parisian fashion. Pair yours with some simple black and white accent pillows for a little bit of contrast. The most classic way to go about incorporating a Parisian color scheme to your dorm room is to stick to neutrals like black and white, and to pair them with a single hue of another color. Luckily for you, if you choose this bedding, pink is a favorite.

2. Simple, But Bold Accent Pillows

The people of Paris are confident. Whether or not you share that confidence, you can always fake it until you make it with this fun and flirty winking Glam Eyes Decorative Pillow. With long, thick eyelashes being the thing that will top off any Parisian look, this accent pillow will scream Paris to anyone who comes to visit you in your dorm room. It’s fun, it’s flirty, and most importantly, it’s a simple black and white pallet that will blend well with whatever color you’ve decided to use as your accent.

Make everyone who walks into your room smile with the confident display of affection printed on your pillow. We’re a little envious of how full these lashes are, but it’s always good to aspire to do better. Maybe this pillow can inspire you to be productive and do all of your schoolwork in an efficient and timely manner so that you can go out and have a good time with your friends once you’ve all finished.

3. Parisian Wall Art

Believe it or not, this wall art is actually made up of three different gorgeously-design works of art. Sketched out on fiberboard, these primarily black and white sketches, typography, and watercolors add pops of color in a very Parisian fashion. They don’t actually come in this picture frame style, but rather as three separate pieces. You can hang them together just like this or choose to scatter them around your room instead.

Nothing screams Paris quite like a sketch of a fashionable outfit, a lipstick stain, and a simple, clean, and stylish typography. Hang this Parisian Chic Gallery Wall Art up around your room to include some of the finer details that you would find around Paris. Put these up above your bookshelf or on the wall beside your bed. (Keep it away from your head, though, just in case it falls down in the night!)

Compact, but bold, this decal stripe will add that extra Parisian layer to your dorm room that you’ve been missing.

4. The Eiffel Tower

Now, obviously there’s no way to fit the entire Eiffel Tower into your dorm room, but that doesn’t mean you can’t include it in other ways. As the symbol of Paris - and maybe even France as a whole - the Eiffel Tower should appear in your dorm room decor at least once if you’re seeking to create a space that’s designed entirely around Paris. This Eiffel Tower decal is the answer to all of your questions about how you should include the Eiffel Tower in your Paris dorm room decor.

Sepia toned, this decal will fit right in with some of the more classic color schemes you’ll probably be incorporating into your decor. It will be a tall addition to add to your dorm room wall - clocking in at 104 inches tall - but it’s actually only 17 inches wide, so it will fit in well in the already cramped space of your dorm room. This aerial view of the Eiffel Tower will make you feel a bit like you’re living in the penthouse of a Paris building, staring out over the city and looking at the Eiffel Tower from a distance.

5. Picture Hanging Display

Parisians are sentimental people - and we have a feeling that if you love Paris this much, you probably are, too. And even if you aren’t, this Hangit Photo Display is the perfect place for you to hang up fashion designs, if that’s something you’re into, or a collection of photos that remind you of Paris. You can gather whatever arrangement of pictures you’d like - themed or not - into one place for you and your friends to admire whenever you’d like. It’s actually the perfect place to start putting together a portfolio for yourself.

With a super easy installation, you can mount the Hangit Photo Display on your wall when you move into your dorm room. The rows of strings holding spaced out clips allow you to easily change out whatever photos you’d like to display on your wall - so if you take a real trip to Paris over winter break and come back with your own personal photos of you in Paris, you can hang those up in your room, as well!

6. Fashionable Storage Trunk

One of the biggest downsides to living in a dorm room is that you need to find extra places to store everything you’ve brought with you. Dorm rooms are a lot smaller than you probably need them to be with all of the clothes you’ve probably brought along with you - not to mention all of the school supplies you’ll need to make it through the year. Storage is important, so in a Paris-themed dorm room, why not stick to your theme by including a very Parisian trunk to store some of your belongings in?

This Fashion Armored Storage Trunk is, in our completely unbiased opinion, exactly what you need to round out your Parisian dorm room decor. Coming in a classic white that will match the neutral blacks and whites you’re probably already including in your dorm room decor, this trunk will store the belongings that you need, but don’t necessarily want out in the open. Its brass accents add an extra layer of Parisian style that you might’ve been missing. Rest assured, you can’t go wrong with this trunk in your Paris dorm room.

7. French-Inspired Mirror

We’re all a bit vain, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Take one last look at your reflection before you head out to go to class or to meet your friends with a mirror that’s reminiscent of Paris, itself. Compact, easily transportable, equipped with rungs along the back stand that will make for excellent storage, this Hub Floor Length Mirror is the perfect addition to your Paris dorm room. This mirror looks like something you might see in the corner of a Parisian apartment. 

You can place yours wherever you’d like - and it will fit almost anywhere! Its thoughtful design means that it is both compact enough to fit into small spaces and less likely to break. The rubber rim helps to prevent any shattering of the mirror’s glass. Hang your outfit for tomorrow on the back rungs or let some pieces that need to air dry hang over them after you take them out of the washing machine. Checking to make sure you look good before you walk out the door has never been so easy - or functional!

Paris is right at the tip of your fingers. Maybe you’ll be able to visit the city itself on a study abroad trip or a vacation with your family or friends. Or maybe you’ll have to wait a little longer, to finish out your degree so you can start earning the kind of money that will pay for a trip that will let you explore Paris by yourself. Either way, decorating your dorm room in a Parisian style is a great way to satisfy your dreams of seeing Paris for yourself in the meantime. Someday you will see it, but for now, put together the most stylish dorm room with these items.
