Fun bulletin board ideas for dorm rooms turn a boring wall into an organization station. Regardless of size or layout, organization is a must in a dorm room. When you live in a small space, you need to utilize every bit of space you have. There is no room in your dorm room for disorganization. Bulletin boards are useful for keeping important reminders in plain sight as well as for putting favorite pictures and keepsakes on display.

Construction zone
Bulletin boards are constructed of cork, a material that is soft and spongy. Cork boards allow you to easily pin and remove mementos, photos, notes and other items. A bulletin board is not a dry erase board so do not write on it in marker otherwise you will ruin the cork. Some bulletin boards do include a dry erase section to give you the best of both worlds.

Pin it up
Small tacks, pins and even staples are used to secure items to a bulletin board. A larger size can hold posters, souvenirs from plays or other cool memorabilia. Post your class schedule, event reminders and lunch menus next to your weekly calendar. Keep track of all your important information in one place.

Dress it up
To decorate your bulletin board, paint or cover it with wrapping paper or fabric. A large piece of fabric with crisscrossed ribbons really stands out. Paint the board to match your walls or choose a bright contrasting color for a striking display. For a total overhaul, consider a full wall bulletin board. Plaster your masterpiece with collages of postcards, pictures or the good grades you receive in class.

Give your room an inviting ambiance with a fun bulletin board that covers a small section of the room or a whole wall - your artistic ability will have a new place to shine. Use your cork board as a place to post pictures and keep all of your important memos in one place.
