Bring all the comforts of home into your dorm room this fall. (Photo: Bed Bath & Beyond)
In the design world, the words “blank slate” are brought up a lot — but nothing is quite as open to interpretation like a dorm. Unlike living rooms, dining areas and bedrooms that take on the common description, dorms are often nothing more than cold and dreary boxes just waiting for students to give them style, color and comfort.
Bed Bath and Beyond is an ideal place to take on the project of outfitting your dorm room with the essentials, since it has everything you’ll need and want in order to feel at home in this space all school year long. As you get ready to move in, be sure to take advantage of the College Savings Pass, which gives students a 20% discount on purchases through September 21. If you sign up now, you’ll be able to truly take on the role of designer before even getting to campus.
And once you know which items will turn those blank walls and one-size-fits-all furnishings into a homey backdrop, Bed Bath and Beyond will help you get them from the store to your front door. They also offer a Pack & Hold service, giving shoppers the opportunity to pinpoint items they need in their local store or online and then pick them up at a location near campus within 60 days of moving in.
