“Reform Your Dorm” While college tuition may increase every year, the size of the average dorm room does not. Lifestyle expert Amy Sewell offers tips from Bed Bath & Beyond to help college students set up an efficient and stylish dorm room.
Find It Here, Pick Up There. Let someone else do the packing! Bed Bath & Beyond offers a unique service that eliminates the hassle of packing the car or the cost of renting a moving van. Simply shop at a local store, and pick up items at the store closest to college.
Gear Up. Protect the thousands of dollars in electronics you take to college. Lock up valuables in a heavy-duty safe, and use a Laptop Lock to secure your notebook computer anywhere on campus. An Electro-Man Multi-Outlet provides plenty of outlets for computers and chargers, and a Portable Notebook Cooling Station keeps your computer cool when using it on your lap or in bed.
Dress It Up. When decorating your dorm room, stylish bedding can provide the biggest bang for your buck. A foam mattress topper and a Bed Bug Mattress Protector are great for people with allergies and for mattresses that have been in the dorm for generations. Top it off with stylish Nautica bedding and sheet sets, which let you make a fashion statement for your room without breaking the bank.
Hang It Up. Use hanging organizers to keep accessories from taking over the room. A Handbag Hangup Natural Purse Organizer and Gearbox 10-Compartment Shoe Organizer will keep items organized and help you make the most of limited space.
Stack It Up. Think vertically as well as horizontally. Stash your stuff in colorful totes and bins on top of shelves, and use Bed Lifts to create storage space underneath the bed.
