Inspirational Dorm Room Wall Art: These 12 Prints Will Have You Rooting for Yourself Every Day
I'm an admirer of graphics and fonts, of art that is also words, and of anything that encourages me to calm down and keep in the moment. Put all those things together and, well, I've just ordered something else online, because these little posters with a message are pretty and practical. They're also perfect for a dorm room accent — on the wall by your bed, over your makeup mirror, or just inside the door so that it's the last thing you see before heading out to face the day and, you know, other people.
So after you've stocked up on school supplies, scroll through these artsy and inspirational prints to see what speaks to you. And take a moment each day to prop up the number one person in your life — you.
