College Students Are Hiring Interior Designers for Dorm Rooms

The era of drab college dorm rooms is fading as students increasingly turn to TikTok to flaunt their impeccably decorated spaces. These students are hiring interior designers to create dorm rooms that look straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog, complete with trendy decor, smart storage solutions, and unique personal touches. By showcasing their stylish dorms on social media, they’re going viral and inspiring others to get creative. One such designer, Shelly Gates of Mary Margaret Designs, has capitalized on this trend, turning what started as a fun experiment into a booming side hustle, transforming dorm rooms and sharing the results online.
