Dorm Style, Done Right

With back-to-school season creeping up, it's time to start thinking about dorm shopping—and honestly, we're kind of excited about it. It’s so satisfying making a tiny space work perfectly, and this neutral setup is giving us all the inspiration we need.

The Sleep & Study® Low Loft Bed from Pottery Barn is basically genius for cramped quarters. You get a built-in two-shelf bookcase—talk about maximizing your real estate. Pair it with the wide dresser for even more storage (because let's be real, you'll need it), and those metal drawer pulls actually look pretty sleek too.

Keep the bedding simple but not boring with the Camden Reversible Comforter and Sham. It's one of those pieces that looks way more expensive than it is, and the quality means it'll actually last through late-night study sessions and weekend Netflix marathons. The Boxter Stripe Organic Sheet Set brings in just enough pattern to keep things interesting—stripes are basically foolproof, and these have that effortless vibe we're always after.

But can we talk about that SMEG Mini Fridge for a second? It's giving major Mid-Century vibes while being totally practical for late-night snack runs. Sometimes the functional stuff ends up being the most stylish, you know?

This whole setup works because it doesn't try too hard. Everything has a job to do, but it all looks good doing it. The neutral palette keeps things feeling calm (which you'll appreciate during finals week), and the mix of textures keeps it from looking flat or boring.

If you're staring down dorm shopping this summer, this combo proves you don't have to sacrifice style for function—or blow your entire budget to make it happen.
