Best Dorm Bedding Ideas
This post is all about the best dorm bedding ideas for your college dorm room.
Living in a dorm, you tend to spend a lot of time in bed. Since most dorm rooms are so tiny, you’ll probably spend plenty of time sitting/hanging out on your bed as well as sleeping in it!
That’s why it’s important to make sure you have a dorm bed that you really love.
Choosing your dorm bedding can be difficult, so here are 14 of the best dorm bedding ideas to inspire you in creating the perfect dorm room.
1. Black and White Marble Dorm Bedding
This dorm room bedding is chic and clean. When heading to college, layering blankets and comforters is a must. Using a dark comforter will help hide anything that gets on your comforter throughout the course of the year. To replicate this look, use a black comforter set like this one. To finish off the look, use a marbled blanket, and a fun, bright accent color pillow. If you’re not into the monogrammed pillow look, you can easily substitute it for a black and white pillow with tassels or a quote pillow!
2. Fun Statement Patterned Comforter Set
This bedding definitely makes a statement for any college dorm room without being too overbearing. While a lot of college website say to steer away from white comforters, you can totally use one as long as you’re committed to taking care of it. I have always used a white comforter for my dorm rooms, and it has lasted for years! Plus, you can easily change up the look of your dorm room by changing the accent pillows and throws.
You can’t go wrong with buying a clean white comforter. If you want to replicate the cowhide look, here is a great vegan cowhide pillow and throw blanket that will give your room a high class, but fun look. To further elevate your bedding game, consider a vegan leather lumbar pillow that can double as a back rest!
3. Bright and White
The white comforter set goes to a whole new level in this bedding. This is just an example of how versatile and clean white comforters look in a space. To replicate this cozy set, two fun patterned throw pillows like the striped black and white pillow and abstract black and white lumbar pillows can be paired with a darker colored pillow like the green velvet pillow pictured below.
The real star of this bedding set is chunky knit blanket. This set is super simple, but effective for a college dorm room!
4. Blush and White Bedding Set
If you want your dorm to give off a chic, sophisticated vibe, you can’t go wrong with combinations of blush, white, and gray. The other thing I love about this dorm room set is the fact that comforter reaches the floor, covering up anything you might want to hide under your bed. To replicate this look, this long comforter is the way to go. To finish it off, add a pink crocheted blanket, a fur pillow, and a fun patterned pillow to tie it all together.
5. Grey Cozy Bedding Set
I am obsessed with how cozy this bedding set is! You can easily replicate this with a grey duvet or comforter, a white fur pillow, and some fun statement pillows like this cable knit pillow, or these quote pillows. A throw blanket can be added in almost any color, but you will love this grey corded throw.
6. Navy Chic Bedding Set
This comforter set is so adorable, and it’s so easy to replicate in your college dorm. A navy comforter or duvet set, some fun white throw pillows like this white lumbar pillow and this white ruffled pillow will give your room a high class look without breaking the bank! To top it all off, throw a white fur blanket over the end of your bed!
7. White and Black Stripped Bedding
This dorm room inspo is perfect because not only is this bedding adorable, it’s also everything you need for your bedding to be functional. A full body pillow will give you or friends something to lean against if you need extra seating, and throw blankets for layering are essential for dorm rooms. Not to mention, this striped white comforter is an absolute ten out of ten.
8. Grey and White Ruffled Bedding Set
This grey ruffled set is perfect for bringing an easy, farmhouse look into your college dorm room. Not only is this comforter inviting, it’s also a statement all on its own. You could add a few throw pillows if you wanted, but there really isn’t a reason to with this gorgeous set.
You can also purchase the exact set from Antique Farm House.
9. Serena Shirred Duvet Cover
Again with the ruffles, but this set from Urban Outfitters give off the perfect boho vibe for a college dorm. Most Urban Outfitters comforters or duvet sets come in a twin xl, the perfect size for a college dorm room, and they’re so durable. I’ve used my Urban Outfitters comforter for years and it still looks just as good as the day I got it.
10. Grey Jersey Bedding Set
This grey jersey duvet cover can be partnered with a fun white and black throw blanket. Top it off with a fun grey pillow and you’ll have an effortless bedding look for your college dorm. College is hectic and overwhelming at times, but the best part about this set is that it will look just as good un-made up as it will made!
11. Yellow Bedding Set
This bedding set is not only bright and colorful, it also is an opportunity to show so much personality. Again, this set is a simple white comforter and white throw blanket, but the pillows are where it stands out. Consider buying throw pillows and tapestries/wall decor in the same color scheme to give your dorm room a perfect finish.

Easily replicate this look with this quote pillow from Amazon. Adding pillows in a variety of textures, like this fur pillow, and shapes, like this round pintuck pillow, will make your dorm stand out from the crowd-even if you decide not to go for a bright yellow.
12. Roommate Mismatched Bedding Sets
The one college myth I hate is that you and your roommate have to match every single thing. This dorm room is an example of how you can stay within the same color scheme, while still showing off your own unique personality. A white base comforter is really all you need. From there, you and your roommate can compliment each other’s styles without having to fit into the same mold.
To replicate these looks, you can buy this white textured pillow and this knotted pillow from Amazon.
13. Tufted Bedding
This tufted bedding is perfect for any college dorm. Like the grey ruffled bedding set earlier, this comforter stands on its own. You can pair a tufted comforter with some fun throw pillows like this from Amazon.
14. White Medallion Bedding Set
Holy mother of boho! This white tufted comforter is absolutely adorable and would be perfect in any college dorm. You can throw on some neutral tassel pillows or two solid pillows like these to finish off the look.
