Standard issue dorm furniture and white walls are hard on the designer in all of us, even guys. We’ve made a list of dorm decor must haves for dudes that we think are key to making a temporary room feel like home.
Bathroom Basics

For Friends
Sometimes late night gaming sessions, or ahem study sessions last way longer than expected. Use this futon as an occasional guest bed for when friends don’t want to go home just yet or if watching a marathon on TV sounds like a better idea than sleeping in your bed.

Soften Up
We’re in love with this plush bath mat. The neutral color palate can most like match existing dorm furniture but the yellow is just bright enough to make the rug noticeable.

If colors aren’t your thing, this grey and white rug is perfect. It’s large enough to almost cover your half of the dorm room, which great you don’t actually have to make contact with cold floors in the morning.
