Students shell out thousands for dorm room designers

How much would you pay to hire an interior designer to decorate your dorm room?

Why create a Pinterest board for cute dorm room ideas when you can just drop $10k on an interior designer to do the work for you?


A wave of undergraduate students hired interior designers to help them purchase matching furniture to decorate their dorm rooms. Typical budgets for the service range from $7,000 to $8,000, but the costs can surge higher depending on individual needs and preferences.


Here are some of the things interior designers giving their recommendations on for high-paying students… or, rather, their parents: custom curtain fabrics, monogrammed pillows, linens, couches, coffee tables, headboards, murals, wallpaper, luxury lights, shelves, and custom-made cabinets.


With TikTok videos and other social media platforms hyping up these curated rooms, more and more students are entering college with the urge to turn their hollow dorm rooms into the most stylish and personalized they can be. Let’s see some photos.


Start booking now—interior designers say they’re already getting calls and deposits for 2025 fall dorms.


As for me, I think I’ll stick to the challenge of foraging off of Facebook marketplace for the best deals on fashionable, chic, this-used-to-be-in-my-grandma’s-house decor.
