Whether you live in the dorms or off campus, your college space should feel like the home it is: a place that you want to hang out in after a long day of classes or a marathon study sesh.

Planning your college dorm room is a puzzle, but it’s a fun one! On one hand, you have a lot of practicalities to figure out. You have limited space to work with, and it has to multitask. You have to find homes for way more stuff than you think you do to keep clutter at bay. And you might have to do all this in coordination with roommates. But on the other hand, all of this is for the purpose of setting up the home you want to live in, likely for the first time.
