As your home away from home, it is vital for college students to create a warm and familiar space for themselves. Here are 10 must-haves in your dorm to transform your room into a little slice of home.
It’s no surprise that your new mattress in your dorm isn’t as comfortable as your bed back home. One thing you can do to get a good night’s sleep on a not so comfortable bed is to get a mattress topper!
This one is kind of a no-brainer, but filling your walls with pictures of family and friends can make your cold, cinder block walls feel a little bit warmer.
There’s nothing like pigging out on a pack of Oreos in the middle of the night for an all-nighter fuel or just because you feel like it.
The lights in your dorm can be a bit too harsh, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get a desk with a built-in lamp. Nothing beats warm, calming globe lights to help you wind down after a busy day.
Forget carrying all of your shower necessities everytime you need to freshen up. Keep your shower organized with shelves to share with your suitemates!
Personally, I’m not a big fan of the cold, white-tiled floors—a huge rug can brighten your dorm and give it a more homey feel.
Coffee is a must and nothing beats a cup of coffee as soon as you wake up. Invest in a mini Keurig machine to keep in your common room or even right next to your bed.
Decorating with throw pillows is a great way to bring some personality and color into your dorm. Check out some cool designs at Society6!
Bring along a candle from home that’ll have you reminiscing.
Dorms are notorious for having minimal storage space. Open up your room by skillfully storing your belongings without sacrificing your dorm aesthetics. Store boxes underneath your bed and cover it all up with a bed skirt.
