Not sure you’ll be able to find gear for your dorm without breaking the bank? Check out these four items — each for less than $25!
Microfiber Rug – A 3’ x 5’ microfiber rug provides a simple yet colorful and effective covering for your dorm floor. You can place it near your bed, by your door as a welcome mat, or anywhere really. Rugs do wonders for dorms as they provide needed decoration and make that living space feel more like home. These microfiber rugs are machine washable, so no worries if you walk around with your shoes on in between classes.
Sleep Bright Body Pillow– Once you add a body pillow to your dorm bedding, there’s no going back! Since you know bringing a stuffed teddy to college will prompt more than a few jokes, snuggle up to a big, fluffy body pillow instead. With your choice of colors, it’s also a supply that can add to your décor. Body pillows also make any seating situation better, as you’ll find it comfier with a pillow behind your back compared to the bare wall.
Snap Storage Cubes – The simple, lightweight plastic pieces of this shelf snap together to create a stable yet light and useful storage supply for dorms. Storage space often feels lacking in dorms, and big, cumbersome bookshelves aren’t practical. Instead, opt for a portable and easy-to-assemble shelf that requires no tools for assembly. From school supplies, to folders, to even some extra pairs of socks, you’ll find plenty of stuff that needs storage.
Adhesive Photo Frames– Decorating your dorm room walls is of the utmost important. You’ll need character and color to liven up your living space! Since you’ll more than likely want to include some photos of friends and family, instead of just placing them up on a corkboard or taping them to your wall, decorate in style. These peel-n-stick photo frames have an adhesive back that’s strong but won’t leave residue or damage dorm walls.
