College Essentials

A dorm room has limited space, so choose versatile furniture:

• Bed: This is obviously a must-have. Many dorm rooms come with a bed frame, but you'll need a mattress and bedding. Consider a lofting frame to maximize space.
• Desk: A desk is essential for studying and working on your laptop. Look for one with drawers or shelves for storage.
• Desk Chair: Choose a comfortable and supportive chair that won't take up too much space.
• Dresser or Wardrobe: You'll need somewhere to store your clothes. A dresser with drawers or a wardrobe with hanging space are both good options.
• Shelving: Extra shelving can help you organize books, supplies, and decorations.
• Nightstand: A small nightstand can be handy for holding your phone and other essentials.

Some colleges have the dorm dimensions provided online. Otherwise,
measure your dorm before shopping to make sure each piece fits. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Room Dimensions: Measure length, width, and height to plan your layout.
2. Doors and Windows: Check clearance so furniture fits through and doesn’t block natural light.
3. Bed Size: Most dorms use a twin XL bed. Measure frame dimensions if one is provided.
4. Create a Floor Plan: Draw a simple sketch to visualize furniture. Our room planner tool can help with this.

Tip: Lofted beds and under-bed storage drawers are smart ways to maximize small square footage.

Choose materials based on durability, maintenance, and budget:

• Metal: Strong, long-lasting, easy to clean.
• Solid Wood: Classic and durable, adds warmth and style.
