Dorm Decor Tip #1: 

Amp up your dorm decor style by adding textured layers like throws, quilts, and blankets. These cozy essentials will keep you comfortable while hitting the books, plus they’re the perfect companion for late-night lounging with floormates.

Dorm Decor Tip #2: 

Living in tight quarters? Save space and store your possessions in style with ultra-functional home decor items like our Collapsible Felt Basket. These sturdy, multipurpose organizers are made from resilient brushed felt and stow away like a dream when not in use.

Dorm Decor Tip #6: 

Catching up on readings from bed? Use purpose-made pillows or euros to support your back and add extra oomph to your dorm bed setup. Our Wedge Pillows (pictured below) transform your bed into a quasi-sofa, making it an ideal solution for creating a cozy, home-like atmosphere in small spaces.
