There’s just something about personalized pieces that make a dorm room feel a little more comforting right away.
When you first move in, everything can feel temporary, the plain walls, empty wooden furniture, shared spaces, and unfamiliar routines. Adding small details with your name, initials, or even just pops of your favorite colors can make the space start to feel more like yours.
💚 Here are some pieces that create that personal feeling:

🛀🏽 Make Communal Bathrooms Yours
The idea of a communal bathroom can be super daunting at first. It might raise concerns of being messy, unorganized, or feel exposing. The reality is that these shared spaces can easily feel personal, and can create a feeling of community between you and your hall!
Here's what we're using to create that private feel:
- In a space that can feel old, monogrammed bath robes are the perfect solution to creating a spa-like experience. Additionally, they are the perfect way to travel to and from the shower!
- In communal bathrooms, it's important to keep track of your belongings. Initialed bath towels allow you to easily differentiate your towel from others hanging. Bonus: they also look so much cuter hanging in your doom room than a plain towel!
- Shower caddies are a dorm room MUST! They let you keep your bathroom essentials organized in one place, and allow you to transport them all easily. The monogram lets you keep track of yours in the shared space!

- These little dishes are so slept on as an organizational addition! They are the perfect spot to place keys, student IDs, or any other important small object. We love the colors these dishes come in, and the initials are just the cutest touch.
