That's actually a great base to work with - you have some space, and what looks like a decent amount of storage. As you've correctly identified, soft furnishings are the way to go when it comes to decorating dorm rooms. Because you can't change most of the room - i.e. wall colour, floor colour, furniture etc., you either have to cover it up or live with it. Some people even tack fabric over their curtains to hide them if they're ugly. If you're into a fairly girly look, you could hang a canopy from the ceiling, or drape fabric on the walls. 3M command hooks/sticky bits are your best friend for this as if you follow the instructions they do actually come off cleanly - blu-tack etc. tends to leave marks or not hold things ups. The other thing in dorm rooms is lighting - it's either BRIGHT FLUORO or really shit, if you have the latter think about alternative and decorative light sources like fairy lights, floor lamp etc. There's an fyeahdormrooms tumblr, if you want some more inspiration.

My studio is a bit dorm-roomish as it came fully furnished, I've just moved in and started decorating - not sure if the pic helps you at all, I'm also planning to make some card silhouettes to put up on the wall and get a rug.

What's your budget, are you going for functional/plain, and what size? You might be able to find a pink carpet offcut and get that made into a mat...
