Are you looking to add fall decorations to your dorm room, but not sure what to get? Let’s think for a second, where is the one place that you spend most of your time in your dorm room? Well, if you really think about it, your bed is probably the place you spend a lot of your time. If this is the case, then why not get a brand new comforter that is perfect all year round, along with being perfect for Halloween!

Halloween is usually associated with the colors black and orange, so we think that you should get a comforter that is a black, gray, or white color so you can easily decorate it with Halloween and fall throw pillows and blankets too! This is an efficient way to think ahead of time, even before you move into your dorm room on what may be perfect when it comes to decorating too.
