Design tips

Think outside of the box when it comes to storage

College dorm rooms are notoriously small. Select furniture and decor that will offer you a little extra storage, like the GRIMSARBO side table. The GRANVÅG wall mirror also has hidden storage behind it.

Invest in furniture with casters

Many different activities take place in dorm rooms including sleeping, studying, movie nights, and impromptu dance parties with friends. That being said, furniture with wheels will make it super easy to rearrange your space without breaking a sweat.
