Light it up
One way you can incorporate some Far East style into your dorm room is with paper lanterns. You can get small string lanterns with lights in them and hang them from the ceiling, or get larger single lanterns, with or without lights, and hang them in the corners of the room. Just make sure your dorm allows you to hang things from the ceiling first!
Give yourself some privacy
Japanese inspired room dividers serve a dual purpose. They help you complete the overall theme of your dorm room, and they give you privacy in your new digs. You can create a changing or vanity area in your dorm room for privacy or to section off parts of the room.
Fun with flags
For a large-scale dorm decoration that shows your Japanese inspired theme, consider hanging a large Japanese flag on the wall. Large flags are a cool way to decorate an entire wall with one easy piece. The design of the Japanese flag is simple and eye catching. Moreover, you can match the bright red with your dorm bedding to pull the room together.

Downtown Decor
If you love the super energetic and bright style of Tokyo, you can incorporate aspects of that area into your room decor. Hang colorful Japanese posters or bright LED lights to simulate the iconic ads and displays seen in downtown Tokyo.
Take a walk on the wild side
Along with the fast paced Tokyo lifestyle, Japan is also known for its beautiful natural features. Many may prefer to use this as the main inspiration of their Japanese dorm room theme. To get your room started in this direction, check out bamboo forest artwork or cherry blossom paintings for a naturally beautiful look.

Finding the perfect room decor theme can be tricky. You want to incorporate things you like without your room looking like everyone else’s. With these easy dorm decor items, you can transform your room into a Tokyo dream. Use these decor ideas to create a one of a kind look in your dorm room that will have your hallmates amazed.Photos: 1, 2, 3, 4
