If you're heading off to college this fall, chances are that you'll be confronted with an uninspiring, empty dorm room as your living space for the next few months.
But although cramped dorm rooms are not the easiest spaces to decorate - especially when you're on a student budget - there's no reason why your college digs have to be boring.
So to help you create a stylish and comfortable room this semester, celebrity interior designer Katherine Carter has shared her picks for affordable and practical pieces that work perfectly in a small space. And, best of all, you can find them all for under $50 on Amazon.
