Well when it comes to bedding, I\u2019ve got you covered! In many dorm rooms, your bed is the largest piece of furniture, so why not use that space to make a statement? A striped comforter set is a perfect centerpiece for a stylish and comfy dorm room, whether your style is bold and bohemian or more reserved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Pillows<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t forget to pick up good <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/mattresses\/c\/pillows?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=dormroom&amp;utm_content=pillowshyperlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"pillows (opens in a new tab)\">pillows<\/a>\u2014choose the right size and firmness to fit your sleep style and make sure that you wake up rested and ready for the day!

Whether you want a splash of color or you just need a soft landing when you get out of bed, I\u2019ve got the right rug for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;6. Storage Solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes it\u2019s hard to find space for all your stuff\u2014even when you\u2019re two feet tall like me!
