While most elaborate Disney wall stickers would lean on the pricier side, this simple Remy silhouette sticker will fit perfectly into both your room and your budget. UCLA’s dorm rooms have fabric walls, but you could probably stick these on any other solid surface. How cute would it be to have a Remy sticker on your closet door?

Might as well get a bath rug to go with your soap dispenser, right? If you want to fully Dis-nify your bathroom, this bath rug shaped like Captain America’s shield will make drying your feet after a shower just a little more fun. The only downside of this one is that it’s on the pricier side of bath rugs, but its unique design makes it worth for any die-hard Marvel fan.

Can’t sleep without a night light? While many people use it for weddings or parties, this Tangled-inspired lantern also works as a beautiful night light to place on your desk. Just don’t attempt to use it with a real candle; it’s made out of cardstock and comes with a much safer LED candle for indoor use. If you enjoy arts and crafts, you could even try making it yourself with these instructions.
