Dorm room living has definitely come a long way thanks to technology and the magic of online shopping. Gone are the days where college rooms consisted of old futons for extra seating, microwaves exclusively reserved for Top Ramen, and wooden bed risers as the primary form of storage. Today, thanks to endless amounts of amazing advances, you can cook an entire meal, have a full study set-up, and a walk-in closet (OK, maybe not walk-in) right in the comfort of your own 9 x 12. Here are nine of the coolest new organization, storage, and decor items for dorm rooms.
