The Ultimate Dorm Room for Back-to-School 2024-25

Ā Back-to-school season is officially upon us which can only mean one thing: Itā€™s time to go dorm shopping! Whether you or a loved-one is living on or off campus this year, keeping your space clean and stylish without sacrificing functionality is a must for any new or returning students. We know just how important things such as floor-space and additional storage can be, especially when you are only working with 200 sq ft. These 5 dorm-essentials will be total game changers for creating a room you love while maximizing every inch of storage space!

ā€”> Read to the end for a few fun bonus items to complete your new home for the year!

Hidden Laundry Hamper

Laundry is easily one of the most headache-inducing challenges of any college student. Whether you have an in-house washer/dryer or have to make your way to the nearest laundromat, the removable canvas bag will get your laundry from point A to point B while staying safely concealed. And to maximize your space even further, opt for the additional storage drawer where you can keep your laundry pods, dryer sheets, and anything else you might need! This dual-purpose hamper makes for the perfect transitional piece that you can keep with you, even after your college career.Ā 

Wall Mounted Towel Storage

Ā There has been a curve for everyone learning that towels donā€™t actually have to be stored in the corner of your bathroom floor. We know ā€” crazy, right? Our wall-mounted towel racks keep your towels off the floor and neatly stored away while preserving all of your limited floor space. And since this year is all about multi-functional pieces, these racks can even be used to store rolled up blankets, clothes, and more!

Monstera Wall Shelf

In a small space, plants can make all the difference. But you shouldnā€™t have to sacrifice your room's prime real estate to store them. Thatā€™s where our stained monstera leaf shelves come into the picture! They add the perfect touch of boho-chic while serving as the perfect size shelf for trailing plants, candles, or anything else you might want on display and off of the floor!

Hidden Shelving Unit

Say it with us now: you can never have too much storage! Our hidden shelving was originally designed with two purposes. A - shoe storage. There is seriously so much space inside this thin cabinet to store all of your shoes (16+ pairs depending on shoe size). And B - a pantry. As a college student you can expect to eat a lot of non-perishable pantry-safe foods. This cabinet can store all of the ramen you could possibly need and more! Although we had a few uses in mind when we designed this piece, it can still be used in a plethora of other ways. Need some extra closet space? Fold up your jeans and slide them in! Out of room for your school supplies? Weā€™ve got just the thing. And as with all of our best pieces, it has an additional drawer for even MORE storage.

5-Drawer Storage

While weā€™re on the topic of drawers, these 5-drawer units are perfect for any space. And we mean ANY. They slide easily into those small, awkward spaces that you donā€™t quite know how to fill and instantly transform them into extra organization. It offers ample space for clothes, accessories, or other personal items. This compact yet spacious piece of furniture helps you keep your belongings neatly organized and easily accessible, making it a must-have for any college student. And if you have a little extra space we even have larger ones for even MORE storage!

BONUSES

Stove Top Cover

While most dorm rooms donā€™t include a kitchenette with a stove, those of you who do have one or live in an apartment with a cooktop will quickly recognize the value in this next product. Our stove top covers come in a variety of sizes and styles (We even offer a small ā€œcamperā€ sized cover that would be perfect for any small cooktop!) that not only add style to your space but functionality. When trying to maximize every inch of space, many overlook our stoves. They are often bulky and unattractive and honestly a pain to clean. A stove top cover not only turns your stove into usable counter space but makes cleanup a breeze! It provides extra space for meal prep, serving food, or simply as a decorative element in your kitchen area (Bonus: make it even more functional by using it as a tray in other areas of your room!)

Custom Address Sign

College is such a special time in life for so many people and there is no better way to commemorate that era than with a custom address sign. It may not be the most functional, but it is a memento that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Customize this shelf-sitter with your address or dorm room number so youā€™ll always carry a little bit of your college experience with you. (This also makes a fantastic graduation gift!)
