The Ultimate Dorm Room Checklist: A Guide for Parents

Preparing your child's college dorm room is a mix of exciting and daunting feelings. It's essential to make sure they have all the necessary things for a living space that is both cozy and well-arranged as they start this new part of their life. In this post, we will discuss everything parents need to consider when preparing their kid's university room. My Dorm Store is also here to help you find everything you need, making parents and students feel more relaxed.

Bedding Essentials

For a good night's sleep well in a new bed, they'll need bed sheets, a cushioning mattress cover, pillows, a comforter and extra blankets. We have everything they'll need! 

Storage Solutions

Student rooms usually have limited space, so using storage solutions is essential. Think about buying containers that fit under the bed, a system for arranging your closet or shelves you can hang up, inserts for sorting drawers, hooks or hangers that go over doors, or you can purchase easy to set up additional storage bins! These methods will assist in maintaining a clean and uncluttered room!

Study Supplies

It is important to have a good place to learn to do well in school. Your child should have a light on their desk for studying at night, a comfortable chair, and supplies like pens, pencils, markers for emphasizing text, books to write in, and folders. My Dorm Store also provides care packages to keep your child motivated!

Kitchen Essentials

If your child is living in an apartment style residence, it is good to think about getting some essential kitchen items that can help with preparing food quickly. These things are a small refrigerator, a microwave oven, something for boiling water like an electric kettle, dishes and more!

Decor and Comfort

Putting things decorations in the dorm room can help it feel like home! You could put a carpet on the floor to feel warm and comfy or some art or posters on the wall. My Dorm Store has various decorations help your child create a warm and welcoming room!
