Why Choose Murder Drones Dorm Decor
You just moved into your dorm room. The walls are beige, the bed squeaks, and the desk looks like it survived a 90s office fire. You want to make the space feel like yours - but where do you start? If you're a fan of the show, why not lean into the chaotic, glitchy energy of Murder Drones?
Decorating with Murder Drones themed items does more than fill empty space. It signals to anyone who walks in that you're part of a community that appreciates dark humor, sci-fi horror, and mechanical mayhem. Plus, the show's iconic color palette - neon yellows, harsh reds, deep blacks - works surprisingly well in small rooms. It adds contrast without feeling overwhelming.
In my experience designing merch for indie shows, I've found that fans want items that reflect the show's aesthetic without screaming "cartoon." Good Murder Drones dorm decor is subtle enough for adults yet recognizable to fellow fans. Let's explore what works best.
Top Dorm Essentials: Bedding and Pillows
Comforters and Duvet Covers
Your bed is the biggest piece of real estate in the room. A Murder Drones themed duvet cover can anchor the entire decor. Look for designs featuring the disassembly drones' yellow visors or the ominous Worker Drone logo. Avoid anything too busy - a single bold graphic centered on the fabric reads better than a chaotic pattern.
I recommend microfiber covers because they're lightweight, easy to wash, and print well. Prices range from $40 to $70 for a twin XL set. Check the material tag before buying: 100% polyester microfiber with 180-300 thread count holds colors best and resists fading after repeated washes.
Throw Pillows and Plushies
Add depth with smaller accents. A pillow shaped like V's or N's face can be a conversation starter. Or grab a plush of the Worker Drone from the first episode. These are typically 8-12 inches, made from soft minky fabric, and cost around $25-$35 each.
Tip: Place two different pillows on your bed - one character face, one abstract logo - to create a curated look.
Desk Accessories and Stationery for Students
Mouse Pads and Desk Mats
Your desk takes daily abuse from coffee rings and mouse friction. A Murder Drones desk mat (usually 24x12 inches) protects the surface while showing off your fandom. The best designs use the show's glitch effect patterns with subtle character silhouettes. Prices: $15-$25.
Notebooks and Pens
You'll take notes in every class. Why not do it with style? Spiral notebooks with cover art from episodes like "Heartbeat" or "The Elevator" are practical and fun. A set of three for $20 is a good deal. Pair them with a retractable pen that has a small Murder Drones logo - easy to spot in a pencil case.
Bullet list of must-have desk items:
- Ledger-style notebook with hardcover (lasts all semester)
- Desk lamp with adjustable yellow light (matches the show's vibe)
- Cable clips shaped like tiny drone arms ($8 for a pack of 5)
- Screen cleaner with a custom print (keeps laptop smudge-free)
Wall Art and Posters to Personalize Your Space
Tapestries and Fabric Posters
Dorm rules often forbid nails in walls. Tapestries solve that. A 60x80 inch fabric poster of the show's key art can cover an entire wall with no damage. They're lightweight, easy to hang with removable adhesive strips, and cost $25-$35.
Framed Prints and Canvas
For a polished look, invest in a 11x14 framed print of your favorite scene. The episode "The Reward" has a great shot of Uzi and N that prints well. Canvas wraps (16x20) start at $40 but look premium. Stick to scenes with high contrast - they hold up better from a distance.
Numbered list of hanging options:
1. Removable adhesive strips for posters (holds up to 5 lbs) 2. Magnetic poster hangers (no damage, easy to swap) 3. Clothespin string lights (clip photos and small prints) 4. Command hooks for tapestries
Where to Buy Authentic Murder Drones Merch
This is the tricky part. Official Murder Drones merchandise from the show's original release is scarce. Most items you'll find are fan-made and curated by specialty stores. Look for stores that clearly state their products are inspired by the series, not officially licensed by the creator. Good signs: clear print quality guarantees, customer photos in reviews, and detailed size charts.
Avoid any site that uses stock photos or claims "official collaboration" with the show's creator unless you can verify on the creator's social channels. Stick to stores with active social media and real community engagement. For one-of-a-kind items, check artist alley events at conventions or online marketplaces like Etsy - just confirm the seller's return policy.
Key Takeaways
- Choose bold but simple prints for bedding and wall art
- Mix textural items (pillows, tapestries, mats) for depth
- Prioritize removable hanging solutions in dorms
- Verify seller authenticity by checking reviews and policies
- Stay within budget by focusing on a few high-impact pieces
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I find officially licensed Murder Drones bedding?
Officially licensed bedding from the show's studio is rare. Most available items are fan-designed and curated by independent shops. Check the product description carefully - if it doesn't say "officially licensed by Glitch Productions," assume it's fan-made.
How do I hang posters in a dorm without damaging walls?
Use removable adhesive strips designed for posters (like Command strips). For tapestries, try magnetic poster hangers that clamp the fabric without holes. Avoid tape or putty that can leave residue.
What's the best size for a desk mat with a Murder Drones design?
A 24x12 inch desk mat works for most standard desks. This size covers the keyboard and mouse area while leaving space for a notebook. Look for waterproof or coated surfaces to protect against spills.
Are Murder Drones plushies machine washable?
Most plushies around 8-12 inches are spot-clean only. Check the care tag. If machine washable, use cold water and a gentle cycle, then air dry. Heat can damage the fabric and print.
How much should I expect to spend on a full dorm setup?
A basic Murder Drones dorm setup - bedding, desk mat, notebook, one poster, and a small plush - runs $100-$150. For a complete room including a tapestry, multiple pillows, and framed prints, budget $200-$300.
