Dorm Room Essentials

Shop Dorm Room Furniture From Ashley

College students need furniture to make their dorm rooms comfortable and functional. Must-have items include beds, bed accessories, desks, chairs, and tables. At Ashley, we have all the dorm room essentials you need.

Dorm Room Bedding

Most dorms provide students with bed frames and mattresses. Students need to bring plenty of dorm room bedding and bed accessories with them. Most want a dorm room futon or dorm room mattress topper, as dorm room beds are not the most comfortable.
Recommended dorm room bedding items are:
  • Bed pillows
  • Twin XL sheet sets
  • Comforter sets
  • Quilts and coverlets
  • Duvet cover sets
  • Blankets and throws
  • Decorative pillows
  • Mattress pads
  • Mattress protectors
Almost all dorm room beds and mattresses are twin XLs, so any twin bedding you already have will likely not fit. If the specific dorm does not provide beds, you can find space-saving bedroom furniture collections at Ashley!

Dorm Room Desks

College students need desks that will help them be productive and organized but also fit in their dorm room. We have small and affordable office desks ideal for dorm rooms! With the right dorm room chair, students can be super productive in their rooms. And extra drawers are always wonderful, as dorm room storage is precious.

Dorm Room Dining Tables

Having a designated place to eat and unwind can help students manage homesickness and the stress of school. Shop some of our best space-saving dining tables: For students moving out of the dorms, a dining table is a college apartment furniture essential too!

Essential Dorm Room Accessories

Essentials depend on your dorm room setup, but we recommend college students have these items before heading to the dorm:
  • Storage baskets and bins
  • Lamps
  • Wall decor
  • Shelves
  • Throw pillows
  • Hamper/laundry basket
  • Blankets
  • Mirrors
  • Clocks
  • Curtains
  • Rugs
These dorm room essentials make the room comfortable, organized, and functional.

How to Maximize Space in a Dorm Room

Maximizing the space is about dorm room organization and choosing space-saving furniture. Here are some tips and tricks:
  • Utilize under-bed storage.
  • Raise beds for more storage underneath when possible.
  • Choose wall-mount TVs and shelves.
  • Use vertical storage.
  • Opt for multi-purpose furniture.
  • Use desk and closet organizers.
  • Create designated areas for dining, sleeping, etc.
While small, dorm rooms can be homey and inviting with the right furniture and decor!
