Great Ideas for Furnishing a Dorm

It’s almost back to school time! If you’re going off to college, it’s a good idea to start prepping for the semester with a functional dorm. Ideally, you want a space that matches your style while setting you up for success. It’s easy and fun to make your dorm décor the talk of the campus. With so many options from Sam Levitz, you’ll get set up with the stylish side of dorm life at an affordable price!

Below we present our handpicked selections below to furnish your dorm:

Twin Bedroom Sets

If your dorm room is big enough for a twin bedroom set, you’re in luck! We offer an extensive selection of quality bedroom sets that have 3 pieces or up to 7 pieces (if your dorm can fit it!). For instance, our Curved 6-Piece Twin Sleigh Bedroom Set in Black includes an elegant twin sleigh bed, nightstand, and mirror. It also includes a curved headboard and footboard to enhance the trendy look and distinctive feel.

This 3-piece Contemporary Twin Bed, Nightstand & Chest in black and brown features full size case pieces with a warm brown replicated oak grain. The drawers use English dovetail construction, and the bed is covered in faux leather. And if you’re really crunched for space, how about a nice futon or sofa bed?

Storage Furniture

Storage furniture provides the ultimate in style and functionality. Our Rustic Southwest Trunk has plenty of room for blankets, clothes, and other items. Plus, it’s solidly constructed of solid pine with a reclaimed finish and heavy distressing iron base. Those drawn to the earthy character of a high-grain, textural finish with rich tone variation can appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this Medium Brown Contemporary Bedroom Bench.

Lamps

You need the proper lighting in your room to study, hang out, and get ready for slumber. Sam Levitz offers a wonderful lamp collection in all kinds of styles and price ranges. If you’re looking for a lamp to illuminate your entire dorm, how about this Matte Black Finished Metal Arc Lamp? The crystal detail and fun color of this Pink Table Lamp will delight and brighten any room. And our Black Finished Metal and Antique Brown Wood Tray Lamp seamlessly integrates table top and dual rack space with an overhead lamp, putting multifunctional furnishings in a new light.

Desks

Every successful college student needs a desk in their dorm! Our Modern Laptop Desk provides a spacious work area for writing or computer use. This Contemporary Desk in Cinnamon Cherry is another great option for a laptop desk. It’s functional, modern, and affordable. Plus, it will look great in any dorm.

Bookcases

The more books you have, the better, right? Not when you have limited space! To help declutter your book collection and keep things tidy, consider a bookcase for your dorm. Our top pick is the Contemporary Bookcase with Interlocking Shelves in weathered grey. This bookcase provides storage and display space in different size compartments, plus it looks cool!

Décor

The décor in your dorm room is just as important as the furniture. Even though dorms are generally small spaces, you can create an oasis with some additions from our décor collection. Whether you’re looking for accent pillows, wall art, or mirrors, we’ve got it here. One of our favorite pieces is this Contemporary Espresso Cheval Mirror. It’s classic and elegant with its heirloom cherry finish and is a welcome addition to a dorm room.
