For most of us, decorating a dorm room is our debut into the world of interior design...
and TBH, you couldn't pick a more difficult first project. There are storage restrictions, building restrictions (save your scented candles for postgrad!), and, of course, budget restrictions. BUT, if you know where to look, Amazon actually has some super cute dorm essentials that can make your ~home away from home~ look and feel so cozy.
As someone who personally dedicated wayyy too much time to decking out her own dorm when I was in school, I'm here to break down all the clever swaps and multipurpose hacks I wish I knew about then. Plus they're all on Amazon, so can get 'em shipped right to you. From mini-fridges to a rolling storage cart to luxe-looking Twin XL-sized linens and even a plush mattress topper ( mhmm ), so many college essentials are currently on sale.
We combed through thousands of picks to find the best of the best in every product category. The result: a dorm room shopping starter pack of 25 items you'll be getting use out of way past graduation day..
