Even without the leaves, these small decorative lamps will look great. Moreover, instead of the leaves, you can put pictures of loved ones. It will also look very nice.

When I saw this photo I just fell in love with it. Look at how beautiful these lights stand and how the artificial branches create a magical feeling that can be experienced even through the picture.

You could place these lights right above the bed, and why not hang pictures and paintings on the wall as well? I think it will look splendid!

You can use lights to form glowing shapes which will be very effective and eye-grabbing. The lights can be placed so that you can hang pictures and images on them.

You can dedicate a whole wall to this and make a glowing photo collage with happy moments that make you smile.

At university, you will often have to pull all-nighters because of exams. Therefore, you will need to get a desk lamp that is suitable for studying.

You need good strong light while studying, but also not too strong so you don’t strain your eyes. Furthermore, it will be great if the design of the lamp goes well with the rest of your dorm room decor.

7. High Night Lamp

This lamp is very suitable for the height of beds in most dormitories. There are many interesting models of such lamps and you can choose the model that will fit best in your nook.

If you decide to put such a lamp in your dorm room, choose very carefully the place where it would stand. Otherwise, it may not look right and damage the harmony of your interior design.

8. Colorful lighting

If you are a fan of more unusual things, you can put LED strips that will light your dorm room in all kinds of colors. You can also arrange the strips in glowing shapes to make the lighting even cooler.

9. Sting Lights For Dorm Room

If you haven’t done it, I encourage you to give it a try. The sting lights go perfectly with the curtains because they spread the light very gently and everything turns out great.

If you put them above the bed it will turn out amazing. To be completely honest, this is one of my favorite light decorations because the atmosphere is magical.

10. Full Ceiling Lights

The implementation of this decoration is not so easy, but certainly not impossible. A ceiling of lights is probably one of the coolest ideas. It’s like you are a meter away from the sky and the stars. I think your partner will also appreciate it because these lights create a very romantic setting.

11. Floor Lamp with Shelves

A lamp that has an exceptionally spectacular design. Moreover, you can use the space below it for shelves and organize your belongings.

The shelves are suitable also for putting decorations and photos of your loved ones. This model will fit perfectly with an interior that includes black metal and beige color.

12. College Dorm Room Desk Lamp

A multi-purpose desk lamp with a stand that is a great solution for any hardworking student. You can charge your phone on the stand or put different materials such as pens, pencils, scissors, etc. in it.

It will provide you with very good light to work with. Furthermore, you can adjust the light strength, making this lamp perfect for studying and a movie night.

13. Standing Lamp For Dorm Room

I like this lamp because of its gentle and beautiful design. Another nice thing about it is that the smaller lamp is designed for reading and it is flexible. You can position it behind a sofa or your reading armchair so you can adjust the angle and strength of the light you need.

14. Led Desk Lamp With Charging Port

A great desk lamp that gives you the ability to charge your laptop and phone while studying. The lamp has a very handy design and will do a great job for any diligent studious student who spends a lot of time up late studying.

15. Banana Lamp

I love this lol! This lamp is amazing, especially if you love similar decorations with strange designs. You can position it both on the desk and the bedside table. It’s perfect for dimmed light. However, in any case, I don’t recommend reading or working under such light because it can worsen your eyesight.
