Dorm room essentials for every student
Take advantage of shopping for all your college essentials at IKEA Canada, each designed to help you settle in, stay comfortable and live your best college life.
By choosing the right dorm room essentials, you can express your sense of style while getting the most out of any space, big or small. Our space-saving solutions make living in a dorm or student apartment more comfortable and organized.
Let’s dive into some dorm room essentials to make your space work for you!
- Put watches, belts or jewelry on display while keeping them organized and within easy reach with open desk storage and organizers. Place makeup accessories in drawer organizers with compartments that slide right into drawers or onto shelving. Keep seasonal clothes dust-free and out of the way in under the bed storage, that also makes moving that much easier. There are lots of affordable accessories for organizing at IKEA!
- Choose dorm room furniture with smart storage to help maximize your space. Then add the convenience of wall shelves and hooks for holding hats, backpacks, phones, and other college essentials.
- Having a kitchen means you don’t have to settle for the dining hall and meal plans anymore! Stock up on kitchen essentials perfect for shared dorm kitchens and student apartments. Even if you will be eating most meals in the dining hall, you’ll want a few simple utensils for things like late-night mac and cheese, snacks and takeout.
- Stay on top of your schedule with a bulletin board where you can jot down all your important dates and to-dos.
- Keep your work and study space tidy and neatly organized to reduce stress with stylish desk organizers.
- Don’t forget to grab a laundry basket or hamper for your dorm. No one tells you, but college requires many wash cycles to graduate!
Maximizing the style and storage potential of any size dorm room means thoughtfully using every inch of space possible. That means hanging backpacks, coats and accessories on wall shelving and hooks; storing seasonal clothes beneath the bed; and using a shower caddy that sticks to tile via a suction cup. Get creative to keep chaos and clutter under control! With our best-in-class dorm essentials, you can affordably make your space uniquely your own.
