There are small spaces, and then there are dorm rooms. Even if your college digs might seem about as spacious as an economy plane seat, some smart styling can make the most of your square footage — and express your aesthetic.When it comes to multitasking furniture for small spaces, IKEA is the reigning champ. The Swedish superstore has chic furniture and stylish essentials that can make every precious inch of your dorm work harder. Even the decor has space-saving tricks up its sleeve!
Empty dorm rooms aren’t really known for their style. Cinderblock walls? Yes. Cozy charm? Not so much. But that generic space is actually a blank canvas for your personal style! And it doesn’t take much effort — or money — to make it feel like home. Whether you’re moving into a dorm or an off-campus apartment, a few additions can up the coziness factor and transform it into a space that’s uniquely yours.
