Home » Furniture » Dorm Room Furniture » Dorm Room Furniture--OverviewOn the first day of college, the student’s world seemingly shrinks to a room of approximately 150 square feet, which they share without at least one other person. For the next nine months, and perhaps for the next four years, that dorm room will be function as combination living room, bedroom, study room, game room, kitchen, and dining room.
In serving all these purposes, the dorm room quickly fills up with furniture, including two of big-ticket items such as desks, beds and chairs. In addition, many college freshmen want to stock their room with large items such as a microwave, refrigerator, television, area rug, lamps, and a couch.
In many cases, a dorm room is already fitted with several of these items, so it is important that before you begin planning your room’s furniture, you know both how much space you have, and what space is already taken. Don’t double up on these items; instead, figure out ways to maximize the limited space you have.
Many college students choose to theme their dorm rooms. They coordinate with their roommates and buy furniture of particular colors and styles that unify a room. In addition, you can buy extras such as plants and posters that help you create the perfect atmosphere.
