So you're heading to college and want your dorm to reflect your taste. If you're a fan of Mr Inbetween, you know the show's dark humor and sharp style translate surprisingly well into room decor. In this guide, you'll learn which Mr Inbetween dorm decor pieces stand up to dorm life, how to pick wall art that fits your space, and where to find quality gear without breaking your budget.
Why Mr Inbetween Decor Belongs in Your Dorm
Dorm rooms are blank slates. They come with cinder block walls, identical furniture, and not much personality. Adding themed decor is the quickest way to make the space feel like yours. Mr Inbetween's aesthetic - minimalist, a little gritty, with moments of unexpected warmth - fits perfectly into a college setting. It's not loud or childish. It's the kind of decor that sparks conversations with new roommates and friends.
Plus, the show's cult status means your decor will stand out. You won't see the same posters in every other room. The merchandise is designed for fans who appreciate subtlety. Think Ray Shoesmith's calm confidence translated into clean lines and muted colors. Whether you're a die-hard who's watched every episode or someone who just appreciates great TV, these pieces add character without overwhelming a small space.
The Dorm Factor: Durability Matters
Dorm furniture takes abuse. You need decor that can handle tape marks, temperature swings, and the occasional spilled drink. I've tested dozens of prints and accessories over the years, and here's what I look for:
- Posters: Look for 100 lb paper or thicker. Matte finishes hide fingerprints better than gloss.
- Canvas prints: Choose gallery-wrapped canvas with a solid backing. Avoid thin stretcher bars that warp.
- Throw pillows: Polyester fills hold shape longer than cotton. Removable covers are a lifesaver for washing.
These details make the difference between decor that lasts one semester and gear that survives all four years.
Top Mr Inbetween Posters and Wall Art
Wall art is the easiest way to claim your territory. A single large poster or a cluster of smaller prints can define your whole room. For Mr Inbetween, the best art captures the show's mood - quiet tension, Sydney's nighttime skyline, or Ray's deadpan expressions.
What to Look For
- Size: Standard dorm walls are about 8 feet high. An 18x24 inch poster is the sweet spot for above a desk. For above a bed, go with 24x36 inch or a set of three 11x17 inch prints.
- Framing: Cheap frames break within weeks. I recommend aluminum snap frames or lightweight poster hangers. They're affordable and won't damage the art.
- Designs: Look for original art - not just screenshots. Fan artists often create stylized portraits or minimalistic logo designs that feel like gallery pieces.
My Top Picks
1. Ray with Umbrella Print - A silhouette of Ray walking through rain. Matte finish on heavy stock. Around $25. 2. Sydney Skyline Poster - Features the city at dusk with subtle show references. 18x24 inches, $18. 3. Quote Triptych - Three 11x17 prints with iconic lines. Sourced from the same artist series, $35 for the set.
Pro tip: Use removable adhesive strips - not nails - to avoid losing your security deposit. Command strips hold well even on textured walls.
Cozy Up with Mr Inbetween Bedding and Pillows
Bedding is the biggest surface in your room. A duvet cover or throw blanket with a Mr Inbetween motif can pull the whole theme together. But comfort is king - you'll be sleeping on it every night.
Material Matters
- Duvet covers: Microfiber is lightweight and easy to wash. Cotton sateen feels luxe but wrinkles. For dorms, microfiber wins - it's cheap, durable, and doesn't need ironing.
- Throw blankets: Fleece or chunky knit adds texture. A 50x60 inch throw costs around $30-40.
- Pillowcases: Printed 100% cotton pillowcases are breathable and wash well. Look for hidden zippers to avoid scratches.
Design Options
- Full Duvet Set: Twin or full size. Features a repeating pattern of the show's logo in charcoal on navy. $45-55.
- Accent Pillow: Round bolster with the quote "That's the way it is" embroidered. $20.
- Fleece Blanket: Soft throw with a heathered gray background and small "Mr Inbetween" text in the corner. $35.
I've washed my own set twice a week for a semester, and the colors still hold. Just avoid bleach and high heat drying.
Desk Accessories with a Hitman Twist
Your desk is where you study, snack, and scroll. Adding a few Mr Inbetween touches keeps the theme alive without cluttering your workspace. Functional accessories work best - you'll use them daily and they won't take up extra space.
What Fits
- Mouse Pad: Cloth surface with rubber base. A 9x7 inch pad with a minimalist Sydney skyline. Under $15.
- Coffee Mug: 11 oz ceramic mug with a glossy finish. Inside text says "The cleaner." Dishwasher safe. $12.
- Notebook: Hardcover, 5x8 inches, 160 pages of dotted paper. Cover features a simple suit silhouette. $14.
- Phone Stand: Acrylic angled stand with laser-engraved logo. Holds phones and small tablets. $10.
These pieces are subtle. Most people won't notice them until they sit at your desk - then they'll grin. That's the beauty of good fan merch.
Desk Organization Idea
Use a small wooden crate (about $8 at any craft store) to store notebooks and pens. Paint it matte black or leave it natural. It adds a rustic contrast to the slick accessories.
Complete Your Room with Mr Inbetween Apparel Storage
Dorms have tiny closets. If you're bringing Mr Inbetween tees, hoodies, or hats, you need a way to keep them accessible and show them off. Apparel storage can double as decor.
Storage Solutions
- Wall Hooks: A strip of 3-4 heavy-duty hooks. Hang hoodies and jackets for easy grab-and-go. Wooden or metal hooks with the show's logo cost $15-20.
- Fabric Bins: Collapsible bins for folded shirts. 11x11x11 inch cubes fit into cube shelving. $12 each, often sold in sets.
- Hats: A simple wall-mounted hat rack or clip hooks. $8.
I use a small over-the-door hook for my favorite Mr Inbetween hoodie. It's always ready, and it breaks up the blank door space. Plus, it reminds me to rewatch episodes between classes.
