3. Work on the key furniture pieces

When choosing furniture for a college dorm room or small space living, choose pieces that are multifunctional to make the most of your space. Make sure it's comfortable! A lot of dorm rooms don't have enough space for a couch or recliner, so chairs are typically the only option for lounging around after class ends early on weekdays or late nights during weekends.

Storage ottomans are great for small spaces. They can be used as a stool or bedside table, and also provide concealed storage. Or this years hot trend is to get a small trunk that works as a stool to sit on or bedside table.

Bed

To make the most of your small dorm room, consider raising your bed to create extra storage space. Use containers that are easy to access but out of the way, and choose an extra-long bed skirt to hide storage containers and create a more sophisticated look. The dorm bed headboard is an important part of your room décor, so keep it simple to make a statement.

Curtains are a great way to add softness to a space. They can also block out light and serve as an extra privacy barrier. Hang textured, neutral dorm drapes that coordinate with the bedding. If screws are not permitted, rods can be hung with removable stick-on hooks. Alternatively, spring loaded curtain rods can also be used within the frame.
