10 Tips To Having The Perfect College Dorm Room This Year

Feeling excited to move into your new dorm room this year? It’s the first time you move out of your parent’s house and start living with another stranger. Here are some tips to help you not only live comfortably but also have a perfect college dorm room ever!

String light

Small little string light hanging on the wall to decorate your perfect college dorm room, why not? It looks cute and makes you feel cozy in the autumn and winter as well. And if you struggle from sleeping in a completely dark room like me, a small yellow string light can help you to fall asleep easily and keep you out of the dark.

Flip Flops

Probably nobody reminds you about a pair of flip flops on your move-in day at your dorm room. Maybe you would like to take a quick shower after you move in, maybe you need to run to a grocery store real quick to grab a cup of instant noodles in your first night at dorm. A pair of flip flops not only easy to carry but also very practical.

First-aid kit

A perfect college dorm room should always have a first-aid kit. In case you accidentally cut yourself or your roommate needs something, it will be there to provide you. Remember to put some common medications that you might need like paracetamol, advils, some medicine for stomachache, and some vitamins can be really handy as well.

Sandwich press

Buying a sandwich press is an unexpected tip for your perfect dorm room. Why? Because it’s easy to use, cheap, and definitely save you from the hunger at night and you’re too lazy to go outside or to the kitchen.

Hanging shoe storage

In order to save space in your perfect college dorm room, try to utilize the door, under bed area, a wall hanging shoe storage can be a good idea. With many pockets, you can put at least eight pairs of shoes or 16 pairs of flip flops. Same with jewelry, instead of just throwing them in the table, you can buy hanging jewelry storage to store your accessories.

Hanging wardrobe

If you don’t have a big wardrobe then a hanging wardrobe is the perfect idea for your perfect dorm room. It’s the same with the hanging shoe storage, it can help you to save more space, put more clothes in your wardrobe.

Mini fan

If you cannot stand the heat in the summer like I am, you can always buy a mini fan to put on the table, near your bed to cool you down and bring some air in your room.

Small Chalkboard

A small chalkboard or something similar to write down your studying schedule, your to-do list or your goals is not just a reminder, it can also be a small decoration piece for your perfect dorm room this year. It can also be your vision board and encourage you to live your dream.

A Small Cactus

Do you know that indoor plants can absorb radiation? NASA has conducted a massive study on how cactus can help to absorb EMF radiation. Besides cactus, a small stone lotus can do the job as well. It is believed to absorb the radiation and purify the air, thus, it is a perfect size for your table.
