College dorm room furniture

Affordable dorm furniture ideas for reading, writing and relaxing

Your college dorm room becomes your home away from home for most of the year. In this often small and shared space, you will sleep, relax, study, read, write, entertain, listen to music, snack, watch movies and so much more. It’s a lot for one space to accomplish, especially given how tiny most dorm rooms are!

And that is precisely why it’s so important to get your dorm furniture just right.

Our furniture for dorm rooms and small apartments was designed to not only physically fit your space, but to also fit your style, budget and multifunctional needs. We look forward to being a part of your learning journey, with modern furniture for dorm rooms that always makes the grade!

Determine what pieces of dorm room furniture you need

Before you start shopping, make a complete list of all the dorm furniture you want and need in your space. Some dorm furniture needs include:

• Couch
• Desk
• Desk chair
• Futon
• Dresser
• Bed

Once you have your full list, determine which of those items will already be included in your dorm room or student apartment. Not all colleges and universities provide the same furnishings, so it can be helpful to check with someone at the school or ask a current student if you’ll be touring. Twin XL beds and desks are the most commonly provided furniture, with some dorm rooms including armoires as well for closet-style storage.

After you’ve made a list of which items will already be available and which you’ll need to bring, reach out to your future roommate(s) if you’ll be sharing a space. After all, they may already have something you need! Once you’ve worked together to finalize your lists and everyone agrees on the dorm furniture plans, you can all shop confidently knowing there won’t be missing must-haves or duplicates.
