If you’re a student, a military officer, or you just happen to find yourself in a dormitory that happens to be a place you’ll be living for a while, you have to make it a space you love since you’ll be spending plenty of time there—you have to make it home away from home! There are several sources of inspiration and your dorm room is one of those places where you work toward the actualization of your academic and professional success and overall goals. To help upgrade your dorm, we've put together the ultimate list of dorm room furniture essentials to help you get started.
When buying furniture or equipment for a dorm it's essential to buy smart items that are pragmatic and multifunctional. The standard university-provided furniture can only do so much! So here's a list of basic and essential furniture items that cannot be ignored.
Desk and Chair
Your assimilation and creativity are increased when you’re comfortable. Choosing a suitable desk and chair based on your budget, available space, and taste is one way to ensure comfort is guaranteed. While you’re at it, think about a stylish, ergonomic dorm desk chair with adjustable height settings!
Dresser or Chest of Drawers
Whether you require extra storage for your clothes or school supplies, a set of drawers will maximize the space you have—not to mention it will help keep the room clean and organized. When selecting this piece, you should consider the theme and other furniture in your bedroom. Choose one with a suitable height, design, and color that fits. Also, consider the amount of storage you need and the space available.
Bed Frame
You definitely need a bed frame! While you’re shopping, be sure to prioritize comfort, durability, portability, and of course, style. Of course, don’t forget to consider the available space in the room and the size of your mattress. If your dorm room space is small, you may want to check out platform bed frames or try going for daybed frames if you need something that is multipurpose.
Nightstand
From holding your alarm clock to keeping your phone within easy reach, a nightstand is a very convenient piece of furniture that may also host additional storage in the form of open shelving or a drawer or two. An easy rule of thumb when choosing nightstand height is to find one that is around the same height as the top of your mattress on a bed frame.
Bonus: Desk Lamp
You’ll do most of your work on your desk, so good lighting is important. Just ensure to get the right amount of light so as not to affect your sight or disturb your roommate that is sleeping.
