Desk Stuff
A desk hutch can add so much more storage and make the room more comfortable! I have extra space here for picture frames to feel more at home.
Desk Hutch
Such a great asset for your desk! This is for my makeup girlies. The dorm lighting is not great so this is awesome.
Large Vanity Mirror
My biggest regret for my dorm room is not having this chair! The desk chair provided is often small and uncomfortable. I also find myself sitting in it a lot.
PUKAMI Criss Cross Chair with Wheels, Armless
I swear there’s actually 4 plugs in my room and they’re in the worst places! A must have purchase.
Surge Protector Power Strip - 8 Outlets & 4 USB
I bought so many of these on sale for so cheap! They helped me so much
Plastic Drawer Organizers - Target
Bed Stuff
A good step stool for a raised dorm bed is a must! A great investment, and more affordable than a nice ottoman. I got an ottoman from amazon and it caved in within the first 2 months.
Bed Step Stool
Get full size bed sheets even if it’s a twin xl bed! You will want the extra fabric.
Bring that squishmallow or childhood stuffed animal! Whatever is going to help you feel at home.

Closet Stuff
You need some type of hanging shoe organizer. I personally have hanging cubbies in my closet, but I know a lot of people with the ones hanging on the door. Find the smallest option that still fulfills the job!
Amazon.com: Hanging Shoe Organizers
Personally I divide my loads of laundry into lights and darks so having a split hamper lets me sort my clothes as I wear them! I have removable bags I carry my laundry in and just wash the bag as well.
Divided Laundry Hamper
You can fit way more clothes using these skinny hangers! Also don’t forget folding some clothes is a good idea as well because your closet will be a lot smaller.
Thin Hangers
I have one of these at the top of my closet shelf to hold my shower caddy!
Dish Drying Mats: Home & Kitchen
You need some kind of over the door hooks! I use them for purses, towels, and other bags.
