What are some good ideas for decorating a dorm room?

I'm trying to get an early start on ideas for my dorm room next semester. I am an art student and therefore by nature don't want just any "cookie cutter" room. Of course I know about posters, rugs, pictures of friends, beanbags and all.. but I'm looking for something a little more out of the box. Like someting that will make my room stand out from everyone else's. Pictures and website links are greatly appreciated as well (:
