One way to help build a roommate relationship before you even start the year is to talk about coordinating your dorm room décor! This will help you get to know your roomie a bit while also working on a project together.

BEDDING

Obviously your bed is important in college. It’s where you will (try to) get full nights of sleep that will energize you for the next day and sneak in power naps between classes.

It’s important to have high-quality, comfortable bedding! Pottery Barn has these super cute sheets and quilts that are a great value.

DORM ORGANIZATION

Perhaps the most important things you’ll buy for your dorm room will help keep you organized. You and your roommate should make a pact at the beginning of the year to keep your room neat and tidy.

BELLS & WHISTLES

One of my least favorite things about a dorm room is the lighting. You usually only have one ceiling light, and the bulb is either too dim or gives you a headache.

Having a lamp for your desk or bed will be so helpful. I love this Hi-Light Clip Light because you can move it around easily and clip it on anywhere.

Invest In A Rug

Last but not least, you should definitely invest in a rug. Most dorm rooms have tile floors that are ugly and uncomfortable to walk on. Pottery Barn’s Ultra Plush Rug is comfortable and cute!

By using similar patterns and coordinating your colors together, you and your roommate can create an incredibly stylish dorm room!
