I spent months trying to decide what I needed and what I didn’t need for my college dorm. This list will show you the essentials of what you need, and the best odd things I bought you never knew you would need!

Bedroom🛏️
I have one on my desk and I use it for selfies all the time. Necessity for any girl ever!
Vanity Mirror with Light
I have in black! It is the cutest addition to a dorm bed. Makes it feel so cozy and homey.
Rainha® - Tufted Pillow Headboards
Dorms can get super hot depending on the season. Save yourself the trouble and get this fan!
Polar Wind Fan
I’m convinced this thing keeps the sickness out of the air. College is a whole new environment, save yourself by getting this!
Air Purifier
I bought so many of these before coming to school and don’t regret it at all. They’re cheap and they work like a charm for hanging up my endless clothes!
Plastic Closet Hangers
GET ONE! These are the softest blankets ever, hands down🙌🏻
Lola Blankets
This is for the end of your bed or a sitting area. I have one I store my socks in, but you can use it for blankets, clothes, towels, etc!
Ottoman w/ Storage
So good for your bed! Make it feel like home.
Throw Pillows & Decorative Pillows | Covers and Pillow Inserts
The first photo is the one I have in my room! It’s so cute.
Lamps & Lighting
Kitchen
This is a MUST! I didn’t realize how hard it would be to get ice in a dorm.
Nugget Ice Maker
Helps make super easy meals! I use it a ton for rice, but you can also cook other things.
AROMA Rice Cooker
I like to make food in my dorm, so having this along with my kitchen fridge has been so helpful. I use it to store extra drinks or food.
Mini Fridge
Bathroom🛁
If you have your own bathroom, you need this! I have a black one, so that is what is linked.
Shower Curtain
Again, if you have your own bathroom you WILL want this. Stepping out of the shower onto the cold floor sucks!
Bath Mat
This goes inside your shower curtain to prevent mold. It is awesome if you have your own shower.
Shower Curtain Liner
Every college kid needs this to transport their shower things! Going down the hall to shower is hard enough, make it easier for yourself.
Shower Caddy
Miscellaneous
A life saver when hanging things up! Can’t use nails or screws in my dorm, so I’ve been using this and it holds so well!
Alien Tape
A necessary evil. They’re ugly but you can put so much in them and store them in a closet. I use them still even though I’m already moved in.
Storage Totes
I have three of these around my room! Plug literally everything into them.
