The World of Dormify
Organize your dorm room with Dormify.
Who would have thought? The concept of Dormify, the one stop shopping site for college students to outfit their dorm room, is a thing. It makes me want to dial back the years and go back to college dorm living. In my day, we brought nothing more than sheets and a comforter, a waste can, lamp, and a few personal items from home. I was lucky enough to have a toaster oven. But that was even over the top for those times. Now, there is Dormify. What’s best about Dormify and college products, in general, is that everything is now coordinated. The colors all go together, the sizes are just right, and someone has done the organization homework for you. It’s a win for everyone.
These products are also great for apartment living.
Let me say that we are not in any way affiliated with Dormify. We just find it fascinating. The site includes suggestions for storage, headboards, bedding, pillows and throws, wall décor, laundry, and shower ideas. Wow! College dorm room set up takes planning and understanding what you’ll need. Dormify simplifies all this and makes the transition to dorm room life easier. Dormify has recently been acquired by Williams-Sonoma. For that reason, we have substituted Amazon products that we previously featured from Dormify.

In this blog, we will focus on storage options since that is one of the most important aspects of going away to school. And, because we are organization specialists, we can see what dorm room designers and furniture companies are trying to accomplish. Dorm rooms are typically small and the number of things that need to be stored can be tremendous. For that reason, we will highlight a few of the standouts on Amazon. This will help you think about storage that you need to keep everything in order and your college life sane. Amazon’s products are the ultimate small space decorating essentials. They’re wonderful for college students and post-grads because they create products specifically designed for small space living without sacrificing style.

One of the most important needs in college is the ability to charge several devices. In dorm rooms that were built before devices became a thing, outlet plugs were for a lamp. Or maybe a record player. The need for charging was not necessary. No one brought a computer to college. Now, however, there is the need to plug in your phone, laptop, or iPad – just to start. For that reason, storage that includes an outlet to charge your devices is crucial. Some dorm rooms that have not been renovated for years may lack adequate wall outlets.

Nothing is more frustrating that purchasing a bunch of things you need for school and opening your dorm room door, only to see that what you purchased prior to arriving just won’t fit. Remember that you can always add to the products you’ve bought after you get settled in your dorm room. Most products need to be put together, so it always helps to have a friend assist you with the assembly process. For more ideas, see our Dorm Deck on our sister site, www.hackdecks.com.
