H e l l o!
Up on the blog this week, it's about getting ready to go back to school. When I was growing up, my sisters and I would get super stoked to go shopping for back to school. That childhood excitement can come back with your college school supplies as well. So, get back to college on your own terms. From desk space organizers that match your study habits to the bedding of your dreams, get inspired to create a living space that fits your style.
Getting used to dorm life takes a while. After all, we don’t really know what exactly we need until we get into a routine on campus. Of course, there are the obvious necessities like bedding, school supplies, etc. but some things just don’t occur to you until you’re inconvenienced.
Storage Solutions
Most of the time dorms will have limited closet space, so you really need to prepare by purchasing storage items, so that you can make sure that you can still bring all the clothing items in your wardrobe that you love!
This over-the-door rack can be used for just about anything, from a bathroom organizer to wardrobe accessories and more—and it's a sleek upgrade from the usual door-hanging storage options out there.
Desk Organization
Since dorm rooms are usually on the smaller size, this means that your desk will most likely be small as well. This can make it hard sometimes to study at your desk with limited space, so you will want to make sure to keep your desk clean and organized. This is why a desk organizer is definitely an essential dorm item. If you are looking for the perfect one, these two desk organizers have several compartments and even drawers to fit all of your desk items, from your iPad to your post it notes. Plus, the first option is clear so you can find everything. The second, more masculine option is customizable!
Desk Lighting
For those of us who have a roommate, a small desk lamp is a must-have item. This will make sure that you can still do work at night if your roommate is asleep. If you need a desk lamp, I definitely recommend this sleekly designed LED Desk Lamp and Wireless Charger combo. It is the perfect addition to your bedroom sanctuary and is available in either Blanc or Oak. The Multi-Tasker Desk Lamp features a modern touch switch for the LED Lamp and is a Wireless Charger for all compatible phones.
Laundry Bag
You may not have thought of this dorm room essential, but it is definitely a must have. While living in a dorm, you will most likely have to travel with your laundry to get to the laundry room. Therefore, you need a way to carry all your clothes. To make it much easier for yourself, you can purchase this laundry bag, weekender and beach bag all in one. This laundry bag is a good enough size to make sure you can carry a decent amount of laundry with you and the weekender feature will make it much easier to carry laundry home with you to Mom's house.
Beautiful Bedding
Make your bed the focal point of your dorm room with stylish college dorm bedding. After all, it's your home away from home.
For this fall’s freshman class, what shape the college experience will take is still up in the air—even if you do end up living on campus, the contours of daily life may differ greatly from what older siblings, say, or the movies have led you to expect. No matter what, though, having a dorm room that feels more like a home can make a huge difference in helping you settle in.
